My two Edgun Longs 22 & 25
The new R3.5 .25 is really nice. I swapped my 22 stock with all its a accessories over to 25 so I can hunt now. I’ll mod new stock later.
R3 22 cal is wearing Hawke Tac 30 6.5-20×42 with 20x mil dot.
R3.5 25 cal got a Hawke Sidwinder 30 8-32×56 with 20x mil dot.

When you got it, you need give it a good clean, you will see it. PA sent me another replacement for the faulty 1st one.
I placed an order for the one you posted demp…seemed like a good buy and the added seal couldn’t hurt..
I’ve the linked adapter from Pyramid Air and it works great.
No leaks.
No tape.
Cheapest.
Win/Win/Win.
I’ll second the suggestion. I have two and both work great. I added some teflon tape as cheap insurance against leaking.
If you add some tape be sure to keep it well away from the end of the threads so it will never get a chance to get into the air supply. 😉
I picked up this one for my Cricket probe. First one that didn’t leak w/o tape.
That’s correct adapter but not sure what kind of seal it uses.
I prefer the one from Pyramyd with Delrin seal. Have 3 for each of my probes.
Cheaper and in stock as of now.

A little off topic but is this the foster fitting I need for my edgun fill probe?

Never been fan of eye cups but can see how they could be beneficial for bench or target shooting. I personally like having both eyes open for entire field of view when hunting and the reticle or pins(bow) as a picture in picture view.
You know what is great at getting the same scope relief and eye position every time is a Bisley scope cup!
It makes it really quick to get into the right spot each time. Plus it blocks out outside light and works with and without glasses.
I HIGHLY recommend one! I have four (on three rifles and one pistol) and won’t go back to shooting without one.
They are well build and slip over most scopes without problems (you may have to trim it if you have an illuminated reticle tower by the eye piece end). They trim real easy with a razor blade or Xacto knife.
The ID is 1.5″ (38mm) and it will stretch to over 50mm.

We’re both close to same height about 1/2″ apart but His shoulder to face,cheek to eye dimensions is just a bit longer than mine so when he anchors his cheek bone into breech his eye is higher than mine. The high mount is 1/4″ higher than medium. I firm believer in natural anchoring for quickest target acquisition and optimal shooter comfort. Whether it be archery or rifles you should be able to hit your anchor naturally with your eyes closed and when you open you are dead on with your sighting system. If not adjust your gear to fit you, don’t move your head around for it.
Thanks. I did a double take when I saw the Hawke mounts in the picture. Is your buddy a big guy?
I like the Warne Maxima med height rings. That height feels more comfy for my cheek weld and very solid mounts. They’re on the 25 with Hawke 8-32×56.

I put the Hawke reach forward high mounts back on the 22 as that height fits my buddy better. Still useable for me but seeing as I’ll most likely be passing 22 on to him I remounted them with the Hawke 6.5-20×42

What rings are you using on each? I am putting a Hawke Side Tact 6.5-20×42 on it at least initially. I have a std .25 Edgun coming.
I’ve got a full yr and A Lot of pellets on the 6.5-20×42 on the 22 cal.
I think it’s perfect compliment to the pellets effective killing range.
I only have a couple hrs on the 8-32×56. I really like the bigger side wheel for range verification.
The extra magnification works for the 25s effective range.125 yd target looks a lot closer. Glass looks clean and detail is good at full power. Very happy with both for each particular caliber. Cant wait to shoot with it at 200+ yds. It’s big though as you can see in pics. I’ve got med rings on it and it still clears barrel.
