why no players use edgun in extreme benchrest

How do you know there weren't any competitors shooting an EdGun?

After all, the posted results show only the top scoring competitors in each event and class. There were many (like me) who didn't score high enough to be included in the final results. The bottom line is there is no way to know for certain whether someone was competing with an EdGun in this years EBR.

Well, I come from China, China is difficult to buy airgun(illegal).
We talking about which have better accuracy with edgun,cricket and fx bobcat.
I saw 2012-2015 results of EBR, so we think the fx's airgun is better than edgun and cricket. Is that true?
 
It's not that the Edgun or Crickets for that matter, are inaccurate. They are just much harder to shoot consistently to be competitive at benchrest. This is due to their short length. Believe me, I've tried both. Bullpups are almost impossible to shoot with a front mechanical rest. They work a lot better with a big sandbag such as a Primos. If you pulled the receiver/barrel out of a bullpup and installed them in a regular rifle stock, then you might have something.

Ok,I got it.
Thank you all so much.
 
I went back to the report of the scores and found that the guns of the 35 Extreme Benchrest match finalist were reported. Also reported were the guns in the Speed Shoot finals, 33, and the Field Target shoot, 21 rifles, were reported.

The FX Bobcat has done well, but I think what has been said about bullpups is true even though I don’t shoot one.
