Edgun experience for new owner…

So, my 30mm rings came in and I mounted my 4 X 12 scope and went out on my deck to fire a couple of shoots into the lake.

Remember my left eye is gone now, my dominate shooting eye. I’m shooting right handed for the first time in my life, sitting in a chair on a deck, plinking at some bamboo shoots in the water about 100 feet distant.

This is an easy way to quickly get the scope close to zero prior to final tuning. It only took about ten shots to get it in close, after I realized I was reading UP instead of DOWN with my one good 67 year old eye.

Just a bit of “pink” from the hammer, which I intend to address with the genius Mamcrackin’s de-pinging tubing, no muzzle blast or noise at all. Most of the sound was the pellet hitting the water. Pellet came to a dead stop because of the angle I was shooting.

I got it close to zero and it seem to hold close to the target bamboo twig I was shooting at. Then I got serious and held tight and steady.

I shot the damn twig off at 100 feet, sitting in a chair, no gun rest at all, right handed first time in my life, and I popped the twig. Ha ha ha…I thought, what luck. Until I aimed at the next twig and shot the damn thing off in two shots. After a few more shots I realized the stock configuration of the Edgun gives its balance and handling a whole different ability to control, over conventional rifle stocks. I had much more control than normal. When I squeezed the stock tight, it seemed to become an extension of me, not something I was holding.

Kuddos to Ed for genius in his stock design.

Concerned about your cheek and rifle breech interface….forget about it! Its a non-issue as far as I’m concerned.

I am in Dallas for a few days and had to stop my testing. More later when I have time. Initial results, with all my limitations mentioned above, have given me the impression this is the best PCP air rifle in the entire world…at least for me and my purposes.
