Title: New gun day ....
Post by: Daztilley on June 27, 2020, 08:01:45 AM
Picked up something a bit different ......

Never owned a bullpup type rifle so managed to get an Edgun R5M .22
Not had a chance to test it out yet - but does feel really well balanced 👍
Its fitted with the upgraded "edgun bat" moderator
Fill pressure is a max 300bar and the M part of the name indicates magazine - it uses 10 shot mags

I do like those, the Edgun's seem to be very well made and very reliable by all accounts.

Wishing you all the very best with it

2 magpies
5 rooks

11 feral pigeons
3 wood pigeons

Ranging between 5 ft to 53 yds 👍
Think the rough weather kept everything moving around 😎

A good day out Daz.
If I was not looking to build another rapid this year I would most prob look into getting one of those.
Regards kev.

Good looking gun that Daz. If I ever fall out of love with my Rapids that is the gun I would replace them with. Ken.

Never had a bullpup rifle Daz but these new Edgun types are really getting me tempted. The Leshiy Gen2 and the latest new Leshiy 2 are what I'm looking at, seem very well made and very adaptable for barrel lengths and calibres. Personally the Leshiy 2 with a 350mm barrel in .20 sub 12ft lbs with a HUMA reg would be my choice (no FAC) but it comes in a shade under £2000 with an auxiliary 200cc carbon bottle. When I think of the alternatives I could get for £2k it doesn't seem such a good deal ?? Decisions to be made again !!

If you need to off load some of those redundant Rapids Kev I'm sure we'd all like to know, then you could spend the cash on something different. A nice KevG regged .20 wouldn't go amiss in my collection. All PMs welcome 😉😉😉

I don`t think a Rapid owned by KevG would be for sale long on here, no matter what model it is. I`m sure there would be a queue round the block, so to speak. Ken.
