New Edgun .22 standard
I feel lucky to own a quite a few nice PCP rifles and this R3M is my second Edgun. The first one is a .25 long I bought off of yellow. The back story is my son (14) who had been asking me for an Edgun for a while got hooked on watching Ed shoot suckers (chupa chups) and he thinks Ed is funny. My son had gotten straight A’s in school for all of middle school (6th, 7th and 8th grade) so I wanted to surprise with a gift. I emailed Tony and he sent me out a Edgun .22 R3M Standard. I had purchased a BSA FFP 4X14X44 on eBay for $160 some time ago so I figured that scope would suit him fine. I immediately had a problem with the new Edgun. I took the gun out to sight it in and the gun wouldn’t stop shooting the same hole. This would normally be great for most shooters to get such a wonderfully shooting gem, but this gun ISN”T MINE!!!. Do you guys know the pain I felt to turn this Edgun over to my son? Well, a deal is a deal and he has a damn Edgun that won’t miss. Here are the painful results of the new Edgun….damn
Looks good
Shoots Great!
50 yards 5 rounds
75 yards 10 rounds
115 yards 10 rounds
50 yards card on it’s side
Now my son has shot 4 pigeons in a row without a miss and he won’t let me touch the gun 👿
Thanks Tony for getting the gun on time, and thanks Ed for building such a perfect airgun. You made a young boy very happy.

What pellet were you shooting?
That is a very nice looking set up and GREAT groups! … awesome card shot!
The gun looks great, congrats!
Actually when I saw the chupa chups vids I was thinking that maybe Ed has noticed that his latest customers were more at the younger side and fun shooting was more on demand than before specially with the smaller calibers.
Probably the more “adult” customers are more big bore oriented nowadays and the .25 cal is just the entry point.
If the multishot version now is performing well out of the box then Ed maybe now could look to the bigger audience also in the US since apparently now his production has reached industry levels.
The industrial production level should allow him to better amortize his production costs and hopefully also his future customers will profit from this.
This said, Happy shooting! 😀
Who has time or focus for school when your a 14 year old with an Edgun??
You just ruined his life by making him the luckiest kid!
very nice group. The new .22 r3m has the second screw on the stock like .25 r3m?
Straight A’s throughout Middle school? That’s a big accomplishment, definitely deserve an Edgun for that. Only A’s I got in school was for physical Education. I thought being a dodgeball king would bring me big fortunes. Wasn’t until senior year in college that I realized that wasn’t going to happen.

Man O Man, if I was 14 again and had a new Edgun, you’d have to tether me straight to a scuba compressor to keep me in air.
