Edgun RM5 or Uragan ?

[Nomadic Pirate]

What would you get and why ?

CZ barrels vs LW barrels

The Uragan you can get in both .25 and .30, The RM5 ( at least for now ) only in .25,.......do they still make the .30 single shot ?

I have no experience in High end guns, so I like to hear,....let the debate begin 

[UCChris]

My gut reaction would be Urugan, but the review of the RM5 from AEAC is convincing. Sub-MOA at 100 yards is no small feat from a 45 fpe bullpup. I think CZ barrels are probably better than LW when push comes to shove, but most of the really high end manufacturers are using hand selected LW barrels. The Urugan has a factory carbon bottle in a format that doesn't look as gaudy as bottle guns usually do.

Forgot to mention,

In both cases I would get the .25 tuned to 60+ FPE before they would even get to me.

and the .30s to -/+ 90 FPE

Manny, I'm in the same situation, only I'm considering the EdGun Lelya 2.0 versus the Vulcan carbine (and versus the Taipan Mutant).  Same manufacturers.  The main points I'm looking for are the ease of left-hand cocking while shouldered + compact size.  My needs are different since I'm going after mainly squirrel, not pigs (and mongoose).

In your case, power plus accuracy dominate.  Pumping the Uragun by hand would be tedious but IIRC you have a compressor now.  The EdGun can be cocked easily from either side, and let's be serious- the RM5 is one of the finest looking PCPs ever made.  The Uragun has a big honkin' bottle and somehow STILL looks darn nice.  Like Chris, I'm of the opinion the CZ barrels are among the absolute best.  This is a situation where you really can't lose.  Based on the reviews, the Uragun has a slight edge in tuning, and if you want .30, you're going Vulcan/Uragun.

I own two Uragans a .22 mini and .25 full size and they are awesome. I’ve only owned them a few days to be honest but build quality and trigger time tell me all I need to know. Definitely Uragan Manny.

Manny, have you looked at the RTI performance Priest II ?

[Hobbyman2007]

Even though I don’t have , or even seen either. I vote for the EDgun , come on man he drove over it with a truck. I don’t think there’s another P.A.R. ( wink wink Travis ) on the market that I would try that with. Heck I would t try that with a springer and expect it to shoot straight. R5M in .25 tuned to shoot 60FPE and a Leshiy with a custom .30 cal barrel that would make me smile from ear to ear.

If I had the money I'll go with the Edgun.

I saw this on the Uragan Manual and was mehhh. I think the idea is that you should be careful no debris goes inside the gun while cocking the rifle


Then I saw this video.


I'm a hunter and I'm planning to take my go to the sandy soils of Florida. EdGun for me

[Cranky1]

I have a r5mlong 25 and it’s an amazing gun. I’m shootings around 58ftlb, I would add the HUMA reg and power plenum to go higher ftlb. I also have an Uragan compact 22.... it’s the wifes. I wouldn’t be afraid to hunt with either, the triggers (my opinion) are not match grade but fantastic for hunting, I have both around 1.5 lbs. I usually cock both guns  with my left hand. I would probably go to a 30 Uragan for hogs, Charlie Frear of Georgia Airguns is a big fan of the 30 Uragan. I don’t think you could go wrong with either....

Can't even look at that gun LOL ....looks like it's been put together with found parts LOL

sorry but I need to like the looks or the guns I have

Agree, I think the Edgun is just phenomenal in looks,.....also I really like Ed, he makes me laugh

if I go this route ( high end guns ) I would get both a .25 and a .30 ( in time down the line )

LOL on "been put together with found parts"

Now seriously, check some of the features on that "part" gun, you can shoot it without the air bottle, having the bottle on the backpack and running the air directly to the back of the gun, this will make the rifle light! I think this "part" gun was designed with hunting in mind!

I'm on the other side focus more on capabilities than in look, but I just like to look different... that's why I place an order on the Tesla Cybertruck maybe

Zero chance !!!!! ...can't even look at pictures of the gun LOL

[kkarmical]

Manny I see it this way.

If you really need a .30 cal, get the Uragan.

However Edgun has been on your mind for a while now, and with your hunting skills, you can be just as productive with the .25 as you would be with the .30.

The Uragan just popped on your radar, you buy it and your still going to want the Edgun, not sure if the reverse is true though...

Your reasoning is very solid

I wander how hard is to find an Edgun .30, and also if they still making them.

Lol, zero chance.... when you are shooting you will be watching through the scope

Man, seriously I've researching this gun, not buying now but really researching this gun.

Let me give you another info about this weird looking gun, you can buy a kit and swap the caliber in less than 5 mins, they designed the thing so you can just swap 3 things. The kits are not that expensive, the .30 cal runs for $333 gosh this price is weird too, what's wrong with RTI, why not 300? Or 330?

Any way, this just shows how this guys were thinking in functionality vs look, but I know... too ugly and zero chances.... remember you look through the scope!

Ohh also this review show how amazing they shoot, and this was not the HP version.

Warning! Manny, close your eyes now!!

[Nomadic Pirate]

Couldn't care less for changing calibers, zero interest.

Again, there will be absolutely no chance that that gun will ever make it my way, none whatsoever

[blackdiesel]

The 30 cal Edgun is a single shot only so it's R5 not R5M (M for magazine).  I have a 25 cal R3M tuned to 60 fpe, R3 in 30 cal and Uragan in 30 cal.  They all are pretty good and you can't go wrong with either.

Yeah I know that the .30 Edgun is single shot ( for now ) I like the Super long.

[Hobbyman2007]

I’ve been reading and watching everything related to the R5M over the last couple days because of the thread. They are unobtainable and will most likely stay that way for Canadians , but man am I drooling over here. I hunt in the snow ,sleet , rain and dry with temperatures ranging between 100* and -20* . When the temps get real low I only have one gun that I trust and that’s a rim fire. The R5M would change that for me and I really don’t think the Uragan could keep up just by looking at it.
