Hey all,
The title says it all. I would love to hear how this rifle is beyond the glowing reviews of Air Gun Gear Show and such. I have held this in person and it feels the part but I would love some feed back from owners.
I might be placing an order for one.
Thank you in advance.

I'm going to assume you are talking about the rifle and not the INDY, the bull pup. I have an Independence. It's the best of both worlds. The convenience of a springer with the accuracy and power of a PCP. All you need for an all day hunt is a tin or two of pellets. 3-4 pumps per shot will bring it back to your starting fill. I've shot up to 7 shots before pumping again. Each pump is the same resistance and even at 20+ pumps, the last pump is just as easy as the first. The full length shroud makes it whisper quiet and it is extremely accurate with the smooth twist barrel. I have had zero problems. I haven't shot if very much since I got my Edgun and it is for sale. PM me your email address for photos and any additional info you might need. It has less than one tin of pellets thru it. It is a .22.

Thank you for the response. I have been chatting on the yellow forum too with a few people. It seems like it might be the best rifle for me to take out pesting and small game hunting. Is yours pellet fussy? I have a few rifles that are and I know each is its own. I am hoping that their smooth twist is not a picky eater.

Two tins of JSB 15.9 came with the Independence so those were the ones I shot. I didn't try anything else as they were laser accurate. I've seen reports that the 18.1 JSB's are accurate also.
