Only downside of edguns is, it is,not as accurate as vulcan, taipan and cricket. From my experience CZ barrels are,more accurate. I hope Eds new barrels from alpha precision are going to be better that older barrels.

So many 25mm Bullpups out there.
- Thread starter Philigan
- Start date
If were talking about .25 caliber and from my understanding, Kalibrgun is the only one that uses CZ barrels in .25cal. Vulcan, Taipan and Edgun all use LW barrels with the exception that Edgun now uses barrels from Alpha. Correct me if I'm wrong though but it's just what I recall.

had the following in 25 cal in past year ,
taipan vet long
edgun r5m
vulcan 2 pup
fx cat mk 2
brocock bamtam sniper hr
all very good guns , i sold the brocock and edgun because of my difficulty woking slide lever and bolt setup with my hands - arthritis. the remaining 3 have side levers and are such a joy for me. all work flawlessly. but the vulcan 2 and taipan feel more rugged / solid to me.
in the end , i prefer the taipan the best , but that is by a very slight margin.

For all of you that recommended The Taipan Veteran are WRONG!!!.... Philigun was asking for " How easy to get parts & repair when they do break down?"
......................Taipans don't breakdown!!!!

On fifth tin with an EDgun Lelya 2. Just so nice. When shopping for a .25 bullpup, could not find enough information about disassembly of Taipan. Maybe that has changed for the better. This is not an issue with the Edgun, with Eduard and EDgunWest supplying plenty of how-to videos.
My Lelya keeps pleasing. It seems quieter and cocks and locks more smoothly with break-in. The receiver block on mine still needs a piece of walnut placed in the bolt opening, with a gentle but firm rubber mallet tap to get it off. I consider this an example of precise fit, not a disadvantage. Regular cleaning of the bore is recommended, and I do it. Accuracy is superb; only my personal limitations (like heart beat bouncing the rifle), available field rest options, along with irregular wind in the mountains limit what this particular bullpup can achieve. One question before my purchase was the idea that the short stock might be an issue. It simply has not been an issue, it is another advantage. Right now I believe it is sighted in zero at 70 yards, holding under 1 mildot at 50 yards, holding under 2 dots at 30, and 1 dot holding over at 15 yards.
Know that it has a stabilizing weight to it, for such a compact piece. I would love to get a composite stock but find the laminated works great. I too bought a Huma regulator at time of purchase but have not had reason to adjust anything, and I shoot tin pellets.
Having large hands, the pistol grip is just so nice, with the excellent indentation for the third finger, along with the trigger feel. There is nothing distracting at all about a field proven good trigger, and this is one.
Since this gun is primarily for the woods, I installed a single point sling on it; works great. Just got to remember to move the pocket knife to the other side so as not to scrape the stock with the knife's clip!

Also:
Got 4 magazines, so able to have 3 on board and one in position for shooting. It is straightforward to keep track of pellets in the magazine while loaded. As far as indexing the magazine when first inserting, it is a simple matter to place it into position, then pull back on one of the ambidextrous (forward) cocking levers, thus allowing the gun to index the magazine. It is evident when loading and there is no pellet to chamber, the forward press has less resistance. The ambidextrous safety is also very useful, though plenty stiff. Also on the left side above the safety is a lever that will allow a person to open the chamber without advancing the magazine. This can come in handy once in a while.
