Epic Epic two?
- Thread starter Airgun Nation
- Start date
Yes a few posters seem to have one, and some even have additional barrels ASO.
But far from as much INFO and video out on these as i would have liked to see by now.
It is still what i am saving for, but ATM just 2/3 of the way there with the piggy bank.

They've caught my attention, recently. Andy over at AAR on youtube absolutely fawned over it in a recent video of his. I do wish there was more info on them, though. EGW does seem to still have a bunch in stock. Curious if Epic has any business relationship with EdGun proper. Anybody know?

I am calming my urge for a two, these are not really slug shooters with 1:17 twist rifling, at least not heavy slugs, which is what i am looking for.
Still very eager to see / hear more user experience, i will even take some of the influencers opinion too as i have my salt shaker ready here on the table.

They might be well served by offering a more typical stock option. The two stocks they offer (folding and non-folding) are both monstrosities. Like they mashed together a gun meant for woods walking and a gun made for benchrest. It doesn't know what it wants to be. Find your purpose. Just my opinion.

There are a few out there, but no real reviews. I have been considering getting one to make a dedicated nrl22 rifle out of it, but am hoping for more reviews. Don't really really to be the first one to try this and find out it's a dud. Epically when I know there is another brand coming out with an nrl22 specific gun sometime this year as well.

Its no wonder the stock seems like a "monstrosity".
NRL22 is a interesting niche, that combines gymnastics with target shooting!
Its great that NRL22 created a class for us airgunners.
If they ever create a semi-auto powder burner class for the millions of Ruger 10-22 owners out there, NRL22 participation would probably explode.
I hope that Epic does really well with the Epic 2, (and other airgun manufactures as well) and shows those NRL22 powder burners a thing or two!

Yup can shoot a 10/22 for nrl22.
Going to call Brian tomorrow and talk with him about getting one.

British fellow put up a video review of a long SUB 12 rifle, he seem to be happy with it aside for small pellets can fall thru MAG during loading ( also do that on a AGT MAG if you do not have a finger on the other side )

Making a powerful rifle to be limited to shoot under 12 fpe is a crime that should be punished with jail.

The problem is that you can choose among buying an unknown Epic two with all uncertainty or buying a Vulcan 3, tested and re-tested,with all pos and cons identified.
Vulcan 3 doubtless is in the top of peformance, with few others.
Equivalent in configuration on Vulcan 3 is $600 usd below in price that Epic Two.

Problem is,,,,, i have owned a Vulcan 3 for over a year.
And yes it is a fine rifle, with a few downsides, hard to tweak on, and really in the ,177 i am locked to, the short barrel is a minor buzz kill.
And on long range ( 86 M ) it do hang with my 700 mm Maverick, but it is by the Mavericks heels it hang.
And now i feel like shooting 130 M if not more.
But YES i am very happy we Danes can still have FAC in the .177 caliber which you can buy when you are 18, bigger caliber and it get problematic to get a air rifle.

My Vulcan 3 .177 Cal shoots NSA slugs like a champ and long range capacity is much better than with pellets. A real champ !!

at 86 M i fairly easy do 1" groups, the Vulcan 3 though i have not tuned much on it, it will hold most shots on the 2" target but that is also it.
I am looking for 1/2" groups at 86 M and 1" at 130 M, the maverick might be able to do that even if i can not get more than 13 grain to fly good in it ( mind you 12.5 and 15 gr NSA also worked fine ) but 16 and 20 gr Zan just will not work as good.
Same in the Vulcan 3 i can not get it to shoot the 16 and 20 gr Zan very good, Vulcan 3 is getting demoted to pellet gun, or maybe sold if / when i buy a new rifle.

NSA 50 % more expensive, that mean a lot when you sit down to shoot and dont get up before you have shot at least 1000 shots.
And during summer i can do that 2 days a week

The much I shoot on a seat is 30 pellets/slugs ….. When shooting at 50-88 yards.
If I confirm that the rifle is fully zeroed then I stop shooting.
When shooting at long distance (up to 200 yards) I can shoot up to 50 pellets/slugs at diverse distance, to get to know how to compensate.

Personally, I hold the Vulcan 3 in high regard like you do. However, the “epic one” is the bullpup version comparable to the Vulcan 3 . Granted, we’re at least 6 months probably away from seeing one. I feel the valving system in the epic may allow more power along with possible smoother operation- I can’t say for sure of course, but it’s a possibility. Yes, it’ll be priced higher. Vulcan 3 does give big bang for the dollar- no question.
