Charlie hand selects the barrels for best accuracy on that particular rifle when he power tunes one. You could buy a used one and send it to him to do his magic but then your stuck with that barrel. If this makes any sense…..

Is it the power tune? I got my Cricket .25 power tuned over Christmas and all I gotta say is WOW. This thing is a beast and accurate. I’m shooting tight groups at 75yds that would be normal for 50.

I agree with you. I started with .22 to hunt squirrels and other prey and thought I needed a .25. So, I purchased an Edgun .25 and a Cricket .25. Ended up selling both and going back to Edgun R3M .22 which is the most Accurate air rifle that I own today. The .22 is a great hunting round and shot placement is the key. I…Read more

I performed the tube mod on the first pin to eliminate some of the 1st stage. But I just can’t get it adjusted as I like. I guess the rifle must be held horizontal to set the trigger?

Did everything I knew what to do, even sent it off to E.Rowe to get tuned. No difference. Sold it. Went back to Edgun long .25. No use having multi shot if it doesn’t shoot.

After shooting several different pellets, cleaning the barrel, shooting without shroud, I sent it back to TAG. They found it to have a bad barrel. Replaced the barrel. I then adjusted the reg to 890fps and it shoots great. Tag advised to shoot lubed pellets. I can adjust your reg if needed.

A bullpup takes sometime to get used to shooting because of the length, a little wiggle ends up to be alot at the end of the barrel. I also like more shoots per fill. The long is not that long.
