Edgun R 2.5 For Sale on the yellow $3000.

Never said it’s special.. 🙂 I just like it that much!! It’s much harder to get good consistent groups then with like an AA or BSA (they spit the groups out with ease.., but.. when you work hard, they are there. And every time they are there and even tighter then almost any other gun. I know if the groups aren’t there, it’s my fail! That’s what I want in a gun and because chrony results stayed the same over the months, this is really for me a unique piece!
That’s why if I buy a new gun, I don’t want to sell it. But since I’m not a millionaire, I think I have to.

I will start another topic when I get the gun Thursday. The weather forecast is for 2-3 mph winds and if they have it right, I will take the day off and shoot the R3 22 and 25 longs back to back.

I don’t know if I will get a useful comparison as I am finally getting the 25 cal BSA barrel fitted to the R3 25 long. I had it out last Sunday trying to shoot it, at 100 yards in 10-12 mph, swirling winds. I think that it is going to be a shooter, I got a few good groups. I had one 3 shot group that were in a tight cluster and I thought that I should quit right there. I guess I should have, the wind blew the 4th shot about 1 ½” to the left. I waited for the wind to die down and the 5th shot opened the 3 shot cluster up to .463”.

After spending the day shooting the 22, I plan on taking the breech/barrel/shroud assembly off of it and using it to shoot 22 cal bullets on the R3 25 long’s action. The barrel less 22 will probably spend most of it’s time in my gun safe, unless it turns out to be a real shooter, that is! I will use the 25 cal for the bullet testing as it’s regulator is set higher than the 22’s. If the swaged slugs work out, I will set the 22 up to shoot them and keep the BSA barrel on the 25.

What I have so far: the BSA barrel in on top, then the 2 LW fitted barrels and last the .224 swaging die.

I have some 22 cal swaged bullets, a .224 swaging die and the 2 fitted LW non choked 22 and 25 cal barrel on hand. The swaging press and all of the needed stuff should be here in a few days and I have a .257” die coming in also. I am really waiting for 2 custom made, to my specs, Hart barrels. One is .224 and the other is .257.

Roackcreek has been some very good results shooting cast bullets out of his 25 cal Condor. For a couple of years now, I have wanted to try shooting cast/swaged bullets out of my Matadors and everybody told me that it couldn’t be done. I am going to find out.

I don’t plan on any more highjacking of this topic. I will start a new one tomorrow or Friday.

Kazz,all Edguns are accurate but yours might be special?No doubt you
are an excellent marksman.Would be curious how a new R3 would
compare (especially a long)

Looks like Ted will be getting a new Edgun from Ed.He certainly deserves it !! I know he posted he was expecting a new R3 in March but looks like he hasn`t rec. e-mail so how can I feel bad.I must have got one of the
last 2.5`s last Aug. I was hoping for a R3 especially after seeing the
walnut stocks.I ordered a long .22 2/4 hoping to use it at Holbrook
Sprtsmans which is right up the street from me where Dan Brown,Todd Banks and the other Eastern BR guys shoot once a month.
Patience is a virtue?I think waiting for your 2nd gun is harder because
you really know how nice they are. 🙂
regards,mark

To the best of my knowledge, It has not been shipped yet, Heck I just paid the bill today..

Me to, sorry Mark..I read some posts and made a few assumptions, taking your $2400 example and came to the wrong conclusion.

I apologize for my posts..The beer was a factor

Good for you, Ted! Will have another one for your work 🙂

Ed should give you the latest version at 1/2 price! You had to have helped sell the Edgun with all your videos and advise. 😆
