KalibrGun Lets see some pictures!!

[Woogie_man]

I can't believe there are no pictures or anything of these rifles?!?!

I have a Standard .177 R5M that I have been shooting for a while. My son was wanting to come shoot with dad, so I put him behind the rifle and he started blasting the kill zone of the knock down target. After around 8 mags or so I had to take the rifle away from him, and that was honestly a chore. Needless to say the rifle is now his and I am down a rifle. Though that gave me the reason to buy another one! I was lucky enough to find a very nice Long R5M in .25 and have that one set up for more hunting and longer range shooting.

The .177 is set up for a back yard plinker and pest control rig and is able to get an insane number of shots. The .25 is running right now around 4 mags before a refill is needed, so still decent.

I will get some pictures taken tomorrow when I can get them outside.

These things are tanks and just keep on shooting. A bit on the heavy side, but they are solid and I have no concerns about them breaking or having issues.

A few quick pictures of the two R5M rifles. The more blonde stock is the .177 that is my son's now, and an absolute bunny buster. Is has a USO scope on it in some fx no limit rings. The larger .25 is wearing a Vortex PST scope.

Both guns are a blast and i am starting to think i should use the 25 in NRL22 S well.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing

 

[Woogie_man]

Should be heading to the range tomorrow, will try and get some velocity and accuracy for you guys as well.

@Woogie_man I posted pics in the thread below

Others - Let's see some Edgun photos!

OK, I have to admit it. I'm not very familiar with the EDgun products. I've seen them before at the IWA Show in Germany, but I've never actually shot one. That has to change!!! So please share your photos and experiences with these very interesting airguns.

Can't find any photos of the rifle itself, but below are a couple of groups from an Edgun R5 Long .25. Was the single shot version- if memory serves, Ed made several hundred of the R5 that way before the magazine & side lever were introduced. Action was rough as a cob & the trigger was mediocre, but to this day it had the best raw accuracy of any airgun I've owned.
Believe some credit goes to the Edgun branded pellets. Made by JSB of course, allegedly with a dedicated die. In any case, they were the most consistent I've ever measured in weight & head diameter. Maybe just a magic lot- bought several thousand at once, & never ordered more because I had to sell the gun. Don't think they market them any more, at least they're not on the Edgun West website.

How the heck did I miss that?!?!? Lol

@Woogie_man Excited maybe? Anyhow. I like your Matador photos. I haven’t shot a standard. How’s the balance when shouldering for offhand shots? Is it a heavy rifle? I was also wondering how the R5M Longs shoot. It appears that they were made to be hand loaded only. Know much about them?

 

[Woogie_man]

They are magazine loaded, the mags are held under the scope rail until you want to use them.

The rifles have a bit of weight to them for sure, but shooting them off hand isn't to much of a chore. The .25 shoots like a dream and will hammer targets at 100 yards with ease. I should be going out sometime this week to get things really tuned in for competition shooting.

Prior to the release of the Leshiy 2, the R5M was a very heavily liked and discussed airgun. I never owned the M magazine version, but did have a .30 R5 for a bit. It was a heck of an airgun.

 

[Woogie_man]

Honestly it would be fun to have all of the EdGuns. There were some of the early models that were quite unique. Have been trying not to buy a complete set of the R5M.

 

[ctshooter]

These early Velez pistols are two of my favorite.

 

[Woogie_man]

Yup like those! How well do they shoot?

Assuming how everything from Ed shoots great, wouldn't expect anything less.

 

[ctshooter]

Both of them shoot excellent. They don't look it but they are very light weight. Also super quiet and very accurate. Quite powerful for their size. The smaller 177 is set to 12fpe and the 22 is set at 18.5fpe.

I've updated both of them to Huma regs and get around 30 shots per fill.

 

[hameditor]

You know, I don't remember much about the Veles. Can you share some more background information about these pistols? Thanks!

 

[ctshooter]

I'm not sure when the Veles was introduced, but may have been the first EdGun airguns released. It was the pre-cursor to the Gen.1 Lelya which had the same cocking style but with a longer barrel and airtube.

 

[Woogie_man]

Used to have a Lelya in .25 but sold it not to long ago. For me it was a little to short for my liking, but it shot unbelievably well.

@Woogie_man I may have been mistaken. Perhaps it’s only the .30 R5M long that doesn’t have a magazine.

 

[Woogie_man]

I have seen 30s that are mag loaded. I know early on there were some that were single shot as well. At least I think there was, let me do some digging.

But I have been on an Arca mounting kick this week. Mounted a small section to the 25 cal and it works great.

 

[wolfmangreg]

A little fuzzy on this (like most everything ), but believe a short run of single shot R5 models were produced- most in .30 but some in .25 -prior to the release of the R5M magazine fed version. Thinking it was 300-something in total, all in Long. But like I said... a little fuzzy
