- Hi guys got a video here today on the Epic 2 and in this one we take a overview look at the rifle and see what it can do.

Sekhmet gauges: 10% off
Code: "SUB12"

Ive held off getting one myself for the moment, its an interesting bit of kit but its a fair bit of cash. Quite a brave price point to pitch it at..a lot of competition.
I hope it proves to be decent and command the money. Its been great seeing it evolve over the last few years. The guys at epic deserve some success especially with how transparent they have been through its development.
I have to agree its a strong price but you do get a fair bit for the money and yes they do deserve a bit of good luck it's a very solid platform with lots of nice touches 👍
Yep i really want one,but for the moment I'm trying my best to be sensible 😂
That valving and reg arrangement looks like it could be refined a bit for sub12 specific rigs. I look forward to seeing how your one evolves 😉
Nice to see the rife stripped down and the quality of the work inside looks to be decent. I ended up going for the 550mm barrel version. Those two gauges looked to have finished the rifle off very nicely, I might have to indulge in those. Haven't had any issues with my magazines, I brought a second with the rifle. I see CARM have their own version of a magazine now and also a singe shot loader, so I am going to get some from them. I found it awkward to thumb in the pellets.
I found the butt pad has a bit of wobble to it and have to remember to take that up with the adjusting wheel as well as locking it with the lower screw.
The rifle is probably limited at 12ftlb and would really excel as an FAC.
yes a better shot count on the longer one, our new mag has arrived and it's much better than the first one so we must have just got a dodgy one, really looking forward to this one
A great overview of a very interesting air rifle. Thanks for posting this 👍 I`m looking forward to see how things progress with the Epic 2
thanks for watching 😀
Nice you have an Epic Two. Got one in .25 with the 550 barrel. Have it now fitted with an 700 .22 barrel kit. After some testing it does now 920 fps with the 25 gr .22 jumbo monster redesigned. Reg is now is now set at 100 bar. Sorry to hear of your trouble with the magazine. Mine is smooth as silk. At testing from 130 to 100 bar groups got smaller. At 100 bar most are 10 mm ctc or smaller. 50 mtr indoor. Smallest was a 5 shot group 6.5 mm ctc. Am very happy with my Epic. After years of ‘ improving’ another big brand , sold most of them it is so nice to have a gun which delivers. Did fit and made a depinger though, it had an loud ping. Now it is solidly dead for sound. Love it. The CZub barrels are pellet barrels. Ordered an 55 LW .22 poly barrel set unchoked for slugs. Hope that works out.
our one is only sub 12 but i can see that it would give good power in fac 😀 we have a new mag now so fingers🤞it will be ok i am sure it will be 😀 thanks for watching 👍
Please do more shots for your groups. 5 shot groups don’t give you a full picture of the dispersion.
Do at least 20 shot groups and you will probably find that your not getting flyers, your getting a natural dispersion of that rifle and pellet combo. As for barrel harmonics on sub 12, not to sure. There’s no data to support it either way. Personally I don’t see it as a problem, there are so many other variables that would eclipse barrel harmonics in sub 12.
Interesting rifle but tactical style not for me. I study ballistics for a hobby and really like to talk with you about how you could really nail down a guns potential. I have recorded data through actual shot trials for 30 different pellets and some of the results have been incredible.
Fantastic videos and info as usual.
Another great video and yet again a fair review. Am looking forward to hearing and seeing more on it. Thank you again.
Glad you enjoyed it
Remove the front gauge and put a foster fill in front and then tap threads the side for the gauge would make it a better set up😊
we will probably be doing something like that it works very well on the 9015 we did 😀
Found the magazine as problematic as you did. I asked Darko at Carm for a SSL and he sent one to examine and it eliminated any notchiness. The magazine he sent also works a treat.
Thanks for the video, obviously keeping an eye out for new ones
thanks for watching 😀 i spoken to a few people now and know one has had a problem with the mag so i think it must be a batch thing with just a few of us, i have a new one now and it feels very different to use much smoother
Very interesting thanks for sharing this rifle with us Sir 🇬🇧👍🏼
thanks for watching 👍
The matter became clear. It wasn't the magazine's fault. Transfer Port (limited, with a small hole) had a small technological volcano and milled shot. I corrected it with a mini grinder and now both my TPs are good and reloading is smooth
Another great tear down vid for any owners. Only dissapointment for me is it was not a AGT Vixen
😁 it will be soon mate we still have a little to do with the Vulcan 👍
Great very informative and honest review as ever chaps .Please keep up the unbiased reviews.
Thanks, will do thanks for watching mate
I’m put off by shot count etc almost bought this gun think I’ll spend my money on a Vulcan 3 good video as always👍
thank you for watching 👍
Great video thanks, considering the price to performance I’d would avoid this one, looks great tho.
thanks for watching 👍
This one's been on my radar but thought you might do a review so good job I waited. I'm always wary of buying the first iteration as so many companies these days seem to bring them to the market first and then let the public do the long term testing for them to highlight problems. This is not exactly a cheap rifle by any measure so you wouldn't expect any initial problems but that magazine issue is obviously one. The rifle looks well made and what particularly appeals to me is the none choked barrel. As more and more of the new lighter style slugs are coming to market, this is a good move by epic as slugs seem to prefer a none choked barrel. It would be interesting if you could try some through for us please?
I bought a Ghost after your reviews of it, a great rifle. Your opinion is highly valued. Always excellent videos 👍
thanks very much 😀 yes the mag is a bit disappointing but i have spoken to other people with the epic and i think i might just be unlucky nobody seems to be having problems with them, we do plan on do a slug test on this gun as it's unchoked we have a good selection to try so that will be interesting. Glad you like the Ghost i think it's one of the best for the money out there at the mo
nice clear video as usual....looking forward to the trigger cam topics :-) Really nice to see a SSG from factory and you have lots of tweaking options......will be good to see the results of the tweaking - then when you put it all together 🙂
thanks Tim, lots of nice bits on this one😁
Thanks, great video, very informative, one of my favourite utube channels
thank you glad you like the vids 😀 thanks for watching 👍
Hi mate great video my mate at my club got one of these and had a major problem with pellets or bits of lead getting into the block some how and it won’t cock he sent it back and they said it’s never happened before but he wasn’t confident with it any more so he has now got a Vulcan 3
not had anything like that with our one 😀 the v3 is a great gun though
Always great videos. At the price I would pass on this rifle. To many out of the box issues.
Like?
not bad out of the box only the mag really, i have tried a lot worse at a lot more money
nice one been waiting for this for a while, looking forward to it
thanks for watching 👍
I honestly believe,were you received your rifles,did not do a quality check after the shipment arrived and you should had explained in better detail on your dislikes,I’m not trying to judge or tell you how to conduct your channel but so many new comers will watch your vid and will run the wrong way with your cons, the slightest negative review, can sometimes ruin a new company..love your channel sir and keep it coming
I think we gave a very positive view of the gun the only real problem was the mag but overall we love the gun, we can only talk about the gun we have, our aim is only to say what we find we don't wish to put people off a gun or make them rush out and buy one just show them the one we have as honestly as we can 👍
Enjoyed the video showing as it is,I would probably give it a year normally to find out all the problems by then as my skills are 3rd rate compared to yours 👍
yes that is sometimes wise😀 thanks for watching 👍
Looks like a very high quality airgun. I also have a small leak in my best fittings connector from time to time. But as it was never there from the beginning, I think mine could be oring wear and tear affecting the seal. I did not know you could service those connectors. What oring should you use to fix it?
yes you can just replace the o ring we supply a spare with our ones 👍 i am not sure what size best fitting use
I'm definitely liking this one.
looks like it's going to be a good gun for sure
I really enjoy your knowledge and smartness when you do these videos I wish I had your knowledge and expertise. Yea the Epic looks pretty good I like it, right now I only have my R3M in 25 caliber and my HW97KT in 22 caliber. The one gun I would love for you to do a review on is the Taipan Tactical with the Kevlar bottle if you ever get a chance to. Happy Easter my friend and take care buddy.
thank you for watching 👍 yes we have looked at the Taipan it looks very interesting
another quality video 👍
... seems to be a lot of wasted space in the valve housing transfer port for a sub 12 rifle?
yes there does seem to be a lot of room 😁
Thanks for your efforts. Nice, informative video.
My pleasure thanks for watching😁
looks like a brocock xr magazine i wonder if it would fit oneof the earlier mags from before they updated the mags
it may do i will have a nose round see if i can find one to try
Why don’t you make a cap for the guage at the front like a lens cap with a polished steel mirror in the lid so you can see the pressure without pointing the gun at your face as you can angle the cap.
As usualy another great and honest review. I was looking at getting one of the 550mm barreled ones to hopefully get a much higher shot count out of the box in sub12. so I'd be very untreated if you make any adjustment tools for sale. I am already looking forward to any follow-up videos and any more suggested improvements you might suggest.
we may do the tools 😀😀thanks for watching
Looks a lovely bit of kit 🤩
Watch out AirMaks 😊✌🏼
😂 thanks Mark 👍
Lovely looking gun.
it feels good to thanks for watching 👍
Please can you make a disassembly/reassembly vid x
Sweet!
thanks for watching 👍
NO, NO from the folding stock hinge it looks like very cheap plastic adjustable wheels yes they are most probably Ally but in my opinion, it looks cheap. it's a no-no for I at the moment, It is Good video Mat many thanks fletch.
it's all ally and it is rock solid the be fair one of the best folders out there IMO
Beautiful rifle 👌🏼
yes it really is nice to shoot thanks for watching 👍
i am not jealous much 🤣🤣🤣 very nice looking gun and a lot of features 👍 bit of work and perhaps a bench rest capable rifle . ( not a patch on the red wolf or alpha wolf yet 🤪🤪🤪🤪)
we will be trying to get it BR ready for sure 😁
I would be interested in your opinion on what makes Daystate rifles superior to other manufacturers, let’s keep in the sub 12 category.
@@Kralk.66 if we are talking redwolf it's no hammer spring, no reg, no trigger mech to interfere with the hammer, a supper simple firing valve, and a match grade LW barrel and about 5 o rings in the whole gun 👍👍
All companies make air rifles with 700mm barrels. Only fx has 800mm barrel. EPIC two company needs to make 800mm barrel.
if your looking for big power 800mm is good
Id love to buy so mutch your trigger blades .Recently i purchased an Airmak Katran L and the spinning charging handle you make is not to be found on ebay .It would be so lovely to be able to purchase these items .Any availability?
I really appreciate your videos Jeff, but I can't help thinking that you can't really call the shot results as "Straight out of the box". Seem like there was quite a bit of tinkering done before hand. I'm pretty sure that the majority of buyers of this rifle, spending a good part of £2k aren't going to be expert gunsmiths.
Was interested to see what what your thoughts on the Epic2 were, especially after watching Andy, on AAR gushing over this rifle.
our shooting test is done out of the box with no tinkering using the gun as it came and the mag it came with, we do bits to show on the vid but the test is done first 👍
AAR only does positive reviews so not really a reliable indicator.

Hi thanks for watching 😀
carm have a single shot loader out
nice one
How did you fit the digital gauge at the front? Considering one for my FX Dreamline but not sure how to go about it.
it's just a direct replacement so very simple to do 😀
@@sub12airgunners Dreamline Lite with the front gauge under the rotating charge port dust cover thing. How do you get that off? Is it just pull? Sorry - likely a stupid question but a bit nervous about mucking up my air rifle
Thought the sub 12 reg wasn't adjustable 🤔
yes it is it's just rotated so you cant get to it with out degassing the gun
Hi do you think the accuracy would be better with the 550 barrel?
in sub 12 i don't think barrel length make any difference to accuracy, i have had supper guns with 280mm and 600mm barrels and a few that haven't been so good cut them down from 500mm to 300mm and they have got much better
As sub12aurgunner said. Don’t associate barrel length with accuracy. If you could have complete control of the other variables that exist then a shorter barrel would be more accurate.
That was epic!! 😁👍 as ever watched every second and thoroughly enjoyable from syart to finish 👌
Great production, edit and narration and that trigger cam definitely adds a new element to the video!
Can't wait to see what you guys do with this one this is a top quality rifle but that probe and mag are questionable to say the very least 🫤
I'll look forward to more trigger cam and seeing how this one progresses 💪
atvb
thank you👍👍 yes going to take a bit of time to get the hang of it but it should add to the content
Will Epic address the issue of the faulty Mag??
This is the only time anyone has had mag error, it doesn’t need addressing
yes a new one arrived today and it feels much smoother so fingers 🤞
Great vid as always. 😁😁
Thanks again!
Cute little toy, I like it.
Thank you 🤗
Sorry but the barrel tension system is total nonsense. We seem to be incorporating barrel characteristics from powder ammunition guns into UK sub 12 air rifles. This needs to stop, we are not that far away from pea shooters.
this is carried over from the high power version it does make for a very solid barrel 😀😀
Totally agree it makes for a steady barrel. But I’m sure the torque setting is about stretching the threads for tightness of the barrel fitting, not about stretching the barrel straight for more accurate shooting.
❤ I like it ❤ in India price pls
thanks for watching😁
Did you make the tool to remove the barrel or is this a Epic tool?
we made all the tools we couldn't get them from epic 😀
@@sub12airgunners I just watched a review from
Triple-G Roger Lait, and his came with the tool. I ordered a 550mm Epic 2, 2 days ago, and I was told they didn't come with them. I don't see them available anywhere. Emailed the company, hopefully they will reply. I wish I had your skills. Thanks for the reply.
☺
👍
nice one 😀
Thank you! Cheers!
❤
thanks for watching😁
can you get a db level rating?
sorry we don't have a meter
@@sub12airgunners so its loud.
@@theobserver9565 no not really we have the mod on it and it no louder than most, we just don't have a meter 👍👍
Super air gun❤
I agree thanks for watching
🥰@@sub12airgunners
An £1850 gun with poor shot count,dodgy mag and leaks when you fill it👎👎👎
Exactly what I thought.
the good thing is they replaced the fill probe and the mag with no stress at all
I’ve tried to order one but none available yet
@@PaulMoorhousehankooks lucky ain't you 😂
You must of tried just after I did. Got the last one @PaulMoorhousehankooks
