Edgun 25 long vs cricket 25 air usage
Ok, I’m looking t getting an edgun 25 cal long but may not have one in this shipment so I’m also looking at the cricket. I’ve seen the comparisons but have one question. Dreary thing I have seen about cricket shot count is starting at 300 bar. I don’t plan on going above the 220 bar or so that equals 3000 psi. I know the cricket has smaller volume so can anyone tell me if there is that much diffrence between the actual air usage of the two rifles tuned to about the same power? Io hate to give up on the edgun, but who knows how long it could be and I could use the extra money to get good scope. Tank you

The only other detail I was looking at was the bolt action vs lever action. That lever action looks nice. Also, I my mrod 25 the jsb shoo very well up till about 75 yards but I’ve got to break out the barracudas for anything past that. It just seams like the jsb isn’t heavy enough. That said, I have heard that the Edgun doesn’t care for anything other than the jsb but the cricket does like the heavier cudas. And the final thing that makes the cricket starting to look like the winner is the avalibiity of the synthetic stock on the 25. If they would sell the matador 35 long in synthetic, I’d think I’d be more willing to wait even if it was this time next year. It kind of upsets me that I’ve got to pay more for the wood stock when Id rather have synthetic. If it wasn’t Xmas time it wouldn’t be an issue anyhow, I started working 7 days a week back in aug in order to put away the money for the Edgun but I ran up agains the Xmas saving cut off before I could get it all together. As much as I want one, I can’t tell the kids that Santa is dead just so I can have an air gun. My daughter is 10 and this is probably the last year she will pretend she doesn’t know;)
Well said !!! 😎
Having owned both, never filling beyond 200 BAR, I sincerely doubt you will have any need for more shots that either pcp provides with a 3000 psi fill. Many reports have filtered back that 300 BAR fills waste air because the regulator efficiency suffers beyond 220 BAR fills. 300 BAR fill provide minimal shot gains at the expense of excess air usage.
Don’t major in minors. Determine which gun suits your fancy in terms of caliber, looks, bolt vs. side lever, multi vs. singe shot. Everything else will take care of itself.
Get the one that tickles your fancy and just shoot the thing!!! The performance, efficiency and accuracy of either will exceed your expectations.

And so can the Cricket .25! I’ll check the exact speed mine is set to but just for the info: I don’t go over 200 bars when i fill mine and i get at least 55 shots from mine before it goes off the reg. I don’t know what size the air tube is other than it’s smaller than the EdGun tube. I only have 600 or so rounds thru mine thus far so it’ll only get better.

Both guns have extremely efficient regulators as reported by owners shot strings so that’s not an issue.
The main difference comes in from transfer port length as far as I can deduce.
The Edgun breech is considerably closer to air valve than Cricket design due to its magazine raising barrel higher, thus Edgun has a shorter transfer port. The side benefit to barrel being father away on Cricket is it can use a larger diameter shroud to help quiet it.
Shorter port means less air volume needed from valve into fill port to push pellet to achieve same velocity.
Just for info my R3 25 long (388cc air tube IIRC) with newest generation regulator is pushing JSB 25s at 940 fps
from appx 200-100 bar for 74 shots regulated. IIRC it worked out to appx 10.5cc air per shot.
You won’t go wrong with either pup. Both are extremely accurate at even 50+fpe. The Ed is just more frugal on air consumption per shot and can get a large shot count from a 200 bar fill.

Tell them Santa was killed with an airgun. That oughtta make any kid a gun afficionado… 😉
