With that design and build quality I did think the price was going to be higher. Yes it’s out of many peoples reach price wise including myself but when comparing it to other makes such as FX, Daystate, BRK, Airgun Technology etc etc the price is actually competitive. It’s good to see you really enthused with an air rifle Andy 👍

This is your most enthusiastic and exhuberant review by far! I lost count of how many times you said "awesome." I've signed up for their release notification. As I now live in Europe I can go up to 20 joules without a permit so I will be very interested in your FAC higher power review.

At £1900 it is priced to compete with the likes of FX, Daystate etc but I think it’s worth it. I fall into the having to save up for it category but I live by the old saying of buy once cry once. Great review as always Andy, it’s been awhile since any of us have seen you so excited over an air rifle. Looking forward to seeing you review the other (versions/models) numbers.

AAR the problem is not the high cost.... The problem is that I can't bear the cost with the budget I have... And I think I wanted one in my personal PCP collection My vulcan3, prophet and wildcat wanted a younger Epic sister

that would be like carrying a bag of cement around your permission!!!

Have you stopped drooling yet, Andy? :) :) :) :). Lol! Out of my league pricewise, but superb quality indeed....

What a wowser Andy! Outstanding!

What a beauty. Thanks Andy. ATB MMMD

I had a go with the epic two today in 550mm barrel the quality as you said and build quality is off the chart however there is a problem and in 550mm its very heavy and the weight is front loaded which is such a shame its such a awesome gun but to heavy in the front for me maybe the 300mm barrel/balance is much better.

Wow! Not my style so am interested in their other options. Thanks again Andy. A great review as always.

Love this vid and gun...so much so I bought one. Great review 👍🤟

Great to see the top end of airgun manufacturing but I think at this cost it's just a tiny bit much.suppose we just have to wait until the features appear on the next snow peak model in a years time for 1/4 the cost.

Gotta say that looks an awesome bit of kit. I’ll be interested to see what others have to say.

Wow Andy, what a wonderfull marvel of engineering! Could this be the new FX killer? Bravo on a fantastic review. Thank you.😊

Good review Andy. 👍 I preferred this "straight into the shooting" when doing the outdoor part of the review rather than some repetition of indoor info. You gave all the necessary info in the studio. We'll ignore the MAO error😂. Cost seems consistent with quality. Been considering an Impact M series, but hear so many bad things about current FX QC, so this in .30 could definitely be a tempter to complement my old school FX Boss.

Can’t wait for the fav version,honestly have been watching for this gun for a year now,will be in the ole closet real soon😊

Yes please! I will have one!

I actually expected that price to be more. Time to start saving. Nice review.

Hello Andy, I love your channel. I'm not merely saying this for praising sake. I like your choice of words and very very informative. I wish I could get hold of that airgun but it's way way out of my budget. I've been recently a subscriber even though I used to watch many of your videos. I'm a man from Northeast India very much interested in PCP Airguns. Good Review 👍

Great. You really love this unit i see. If i understood you ... each caliber will come with either a CZ or LW barrel mmmm. Will be interesting to see which barrel option will be better. Coz I've always wondered which is better ... CZ or LW?

Impressive looking gun, I think you passed up the fill process, but understand, with so much going on. Maybe when you do the FAC and thanks for all you do

I agree !00% with you Andy on the features and quality of this rifle. It also looks like it is not copying the look of any other rifles. To me for a rifle that looks like a compact carry around one the adjustable stock is overkill and would add too much weight. I'm in the US and look forward to your review of the FAC model and the particulars of shot count among other things. I went to Epics website and it is sad that they don't give the specs. of their models.

Sounds Great & price isn't as high as I expected you to say. Can't wait to hear about the EPIC 1.

Andy, I’ve seen reviews showing pellets falling out of mag when loading and probably causing pellet damage. Maybe due to being a deep mag for slugs. Looking back, can you remember having any problems ?

I think from your review the price is fully justifiable, it’s a cracking looking piece of kit ! Still think visually I’d prefer the AGT Vulcan 3.

Another epic video, great stuff Andy.

Wow a cracking review Andy this review has completely changed my opinion of what an air rifle should be able to do I am seriously considering this rifle when and if funds are available Cheers again

That looks so good 💯

Brilliant review. I think £1900 is a very good price and it is on my purchase list without a doubt.👍

Hi Andy. What type of ammo did you use on that target? Pellet or slug?

Outstanding 😮

it's NOT a bullpup the barrel starts in front of the trigger and grip

Thanks Andy looks like a phenomenal rifle platform😀

For that engineering and accuracy I expected a higher price great value gun and good review

What slugs where you using whilst in your yard shooting at your target.

do a review on the fac 1 Andy just had a look and it's a loverly gun with very high power and for the money I would say great value and not expensive being honest for what you get for the money the only drawback I can see is the small mags with only 10 in 25 cal

What a review ! What a gun ! IF I was "Hankering after" a new gun this would be the one. Alas I would be in the save up to buy group :-( Maybe ... one day...

Great to finally see some videos with hands actually shooting this gun, and not just talking about it theoretically.

Morning Andy, Brilliant review, love the passion you show. Locks like a wonderful rifle.

I own several Czech rifles and their accuracy and build is always excellent, this could also be tempting, I was anticipating a higher price tbh, nearer to Steyr/FWB etc My only reservation is the high weight. Thanks for the review.

Wow! Just Wow! I can see why you are so enamoured with this rifle Andy. I like the fact it is analog and does not use electronic witchcraft. I might have to sell all my guns to be able to afford it, but I don’t think I would need any other gun if owned that beauty. Very excited to see you review the FAC version. Cheers. 👍

Would you put this above the quality and adjustability of FX Impact M3?

Hi andy I'm seriously considering this as an alternative to the brk ghost...how many shots per fill will I get from this ? ... And also what pellets were you using on the 40m test we seen ?

Wow that's awesome Andy. Another great review as always. Can't wait to see your review on the FAC version of the Epic Rifle.

I hear that the balanced valve frequently needs a couple of shots to come up to steam so to speak and if left for an hour or so the first 2 or 3 shots are well below power .

Love the video Andy. Everytime I think of replacing my HFT500 for something else you seem to bring up another gun to put the spanner into the works. Keep up the reviews and eventually I'll make my mind up and splash some cash.

Andy you're definitely gushing 😂

That's an incredible bit of kit, and certainly justifies the price. The reverence in your voice when you were testing it spoke volumes.

Well I can see you liked that! To tell the truth that price point isnt too bad for the quality. Somthing to put on next years Christmas list.

I so envy the choices today's. Airgunners have, I truly thought it would cost a bit more than it does, after being a hunter/shooter for over 50 years I had to give up after loosing a leg after a medical Ferk Up, Gutted got the money but nowhere to shoot lol That's Life...Make the most of your shooting folks.

@@grahamedwards9920 I like a long barrel, but also a short case that can fit in the trunk of my car, like the case my 600 mm Maverick came in, as it have now been extended 100 mm, well it is in a new case and have to travle on the back seat of my car, and it is only just i can close the door in the small JAP car i have. So not quite sure 700 mm barrel even with foldable stock can fit in the back of my car, but that is what i am aiming for. The bigger question now is, can i join a club and so be able to buy a .22, or will i have to settle on the .177 that is free for all here when you are 18 YO ( FAC of course )

Hi Andy I have a question for you I have a Gamo gen 2 magnum FAC .22 as you would know the recoil on this gun is considerable what scope would you recommend not worried about budget also will you be reviewing the FX king full power considering the channel is predominantly aimed at sub 12fpb. P.S love the channel and your enthusiasm for the sport

what an beautiful rifle this is 😍! when would be the review of the FAC Andy?

Did I miss it as I didn’t hear shot count mentioned. I have AirMaks Katran that has a similar air tank and folding stock. Shoots great but shot count is low unless you go to the carbon fibre bottle which spoils the guns lines. Not really an issue as plenty of shots for most pest control and at the range you have your bottle but I can imagine in FAC the small air reservoir might be restrictive. ( maybe the FAC will have a bigger bottle )

What a beaut,and not as expensive as I thought it would be 😮.

It certainly looks like a fabulous, good quality gun, but it's a shame about the "ping" every time it is fired. That would drive me crazy fairly quickly.

It's not a Bullpup, the "One" is, the grip and trigger are behind the breach on this.

Hi Andy What gun is that in the background???

Amazing 🤩

Andy I've recently bought a Vixen and its fantastic but in my opinion it's best suited as a hunting tool, do you think the epic two would make a good FT rifle? I'm really looking for something that will compete without going down th FX, Steyr, Feinwerkbau etc route

Nice gun con from Ireland 🇮🇪

Hi could you review the artemis p15 as theres not many out there be a good budget gun to review i think😊

Hi How many shots per fill from the rifle in the video please

Andy which do you prefer cricket 2 or epic 2

I think that finally, I have found the gun that I can honestly say that I aspire to. I've never been a fan of expensive guns, I think there are many great guns for less than £1k but all the way through the review I was thinking that this appears to be a very nice gun and possibly worth spending up to £2.5k for the level of quality so was extremely surprised when you said £1.9k as this is in Daystate and FX territory. This is probably the only gun over £1k that I would consider, and as I am hoping to go FAC soon, would love to see how the FAC version fairs.

Been waiting for this review or should that be hoping ? Well it was worth it , what a piece of kit ! Problem is thats now at least 3 manufacturers rifles i cant afford , ill take solace in my bacon sandwich ......loved the review . AWESOME . Dave

Spread of 2 fp/s 😯 , maybe forgot to mention the new valve system🤨🧐🤓. Is that only for the fac version????

How do we get hook - line and sinker back out of a Andy ? I feel the epic are a bit high on price, well until you step back and look at what you get for the money, i am in the market for a FAC .177 - 700 mm LW barrel slug shooting demon. Piggy bank +2/3 of the way there.

Hi Andy, could you have a look at the Snowpeak/Artemis M25?

There are basis info on the One on the epic airguns web site.

When will these be back in stock?

Andy, do you think this gun is convertible as a HFT weapon?

Given your limited knowledge of this rifle would you suggest a 330mm or 550mm barrel for field target? TIA

@peashooter950

I look at fill kit gauge when filling, and have no need to look while shooting as i also shoot tethered to a 12 L bottle, CUZ when you shoot a absolute minimum of 400 shots in a outing and some days as high as 1200, well constantly filling the rifle would be a major pain. As for fill probes i do not get the hate of them, 2 of my 3 rifles use them, they travle in a tin ( .22 pellet tin ) along with some spare parts / extra magazines, so it is always there in the case with the rifle.

Andy, do you think the 500mm barrel would make it more accurate? Would you stick with the smaller barrel for HFT .

@butrus9159

It is intentionally off a few ticks. This is, as Andy mentioned, to avoid ruining the aim point itself. If he adjusted the scope "perfectly" he would destroy the center mark by first shot and he would have nothing to aim at for the rest of the magazine 😉 That's why reviewers often set the scope and then make a few ticks e.g. left and down (or any other combination of directions) to ensure they will not hit their exact aim point...
