Accuracy defined
Hey guys, when people talk about the Edgun or Crickets they always describe them as “incredibly, amazingly, I am blown away” accuracy. You guys been shooting many different types of guns that I’ve seen videos of and I think they are very accurate as well. For example last night I saw AOA’s review of FX Gladiator MKII. That gun was shooting in the same hole for 5 shots. So could you fill me in as to what you mean by amazingly accurate? Is it more accurate then lets say the FX Gladiator?
Just a newbie searching for answers 🙂

Thanks for subscription.
1-1.5″ group size out my EDgun at 100Y explains this,
Firecracker, I happen to land on your youtube page the other day. Subscribed too, nice shot on the dragonfly 🙂
Ideally the accuracy should be like this, 50-116Y trace seen repeatly and consistently,

But the best group at 100Y so far I got is 1″ at 100Y.

Steel dreams, sorry,I don’t have the link.
So no matter how rugged a air gun is, it would seem that it would be advisable for a responsible manufacturer to keep a inventory of parts available for his intended sales audience.
Just seems like there is always something breaking at the wrong time.

AMEN ! :6:
I’ll second that!
And add:
Or simply INCLUDE the parts that may eventually break. FFS we are spending $2000 for these things what is a small part or two!!! Or shit, put something in the manual (or include a fucking manual) about not doing certain things that the manufacturer knows will break parts.
My USFT came with an extra set of o-rings and an extra valve stem, seat and a few other bits (not like the ones on the rifle arer going to break in the near future). :8:
It is nice to see some manufacturers reworking parts due to customer feedback. 😉
He posted a target that you could download and print. The deal was, you could print 2 targets, sight your gun on the first target and then, shoot 4, 5 shot groups on the second target and send the pic in. It was a gentleman’s agreement that you would only get one try at the target that was posted, 4 groups of 5 shots each. We had 3 days to post the results.
Day 1 and 2 were windy and it was raining. Day 3 was clear but; there was a varying wind that made it really hard to adjust for. This is what I came up with.
The Matador is usually a one hole 50 yard shooter but, it wasn’t that day. Still not too shabby considering the conditions that I had to deal with.
I posted my target on the Yellow; nobody else did. Wonder if I scared them off?
Tedd, can you please send me the link to those targets?
Do you have to shoot outdoors?

Somebody on the Yellow came up with a 50 yard airgun target shooting competition.

And air guns do break down, far more often than fire arms due to their complicated nature, ie having to store the propellant on board rather than in cartridges.

I must agree . The delivery/waiting time for spare parts is beyond a bad joke. Luckily these are fairly rugged guns so one doesn´t need spares too often. Its a good idea to have an air valve rod as a spare though along with some o-rings. Luckily those o-rings are std metric sizes so you can get them anywhere – the AVR is a bit different matter though … As is everything else.
That is, IMO , the only downside in owning one.
Well your looking at two different locations in the picutres.
The picture of the rifle hooked up to the tri 66 cf scba tanks is in western Oregon on a 11 acre vineyard. I routinely shoot 280 yards here with the Haley and 100 yards with the Ranger 45. Daily my neighbors are shooting firearms of every sort.
Where I do the ultra long range shooting on the video, is what I call my old mountain place, when I lived there it was the only occupied houre in 110 square miles, you can shoot in any direction with a 50 BMG and not be within walking distance of a house. I had a 1100 yard range there and shot almost daily with just about anything you can imagine.
Having said all this, as much as I love big bore air guns, unless you have a place to shoot them, they are no more safer or dangerous than a firearm and should never ever be considered backyard friendly or even attempt to make them backyard friendly.
I do not own a Edgun, I bought a R3 long, had it for nearly 12 hours until I determined that the regulator did not work, that was back in May, yeah 3 months ago, and the seller still has not been able to get a regulator. Why, because as many Edguns there are in the USA, there is not a spare regulator, if I had kept that Edgun, I would really be pissed off right now..
Think about that concept for a while.
As a result I am on the opposite side of the fence from Synopsis, I have never had a FX I did not like, and you could not run fast enough to give me a Edgun.

Dear roachcreek & all;
Sorry for the poor English…..
I totally agree with all of you, but here is a big point that we shouldn’t forget it, loudness, personally i am preferring an air rifle due to low loudness and ability to shot in your backyard or inside your city, this is a big point that we should consider it as a first point for an air rifles,
roachcreek; your rifle is great but it is very loud, i am sure except this place you are not able to practice any kind of either hunting or target practice.
the point that i am going to spend $2,500 for buying an Edgun is at the same time i have accuracy, power, compact rifle, great shot count as well, ,,,,,,,,, you know better who own an Edgun …..
Thanks……
