Customer Review: Epic Two 700 mm PCP Airgun from Patriot

I recently bought an Epic Two 700 mm PCP Airgun from Patriot, and I wanted to share how pleased I am with the purchase. I’ve owned other well-known PCP Airgun brands before, but the difference here is the Epic Two’s exceptional build quality. The finish is excellent — I’d even call it military grade, if not better.

It’s slightly heavier than average, but in a good way — solid and confidence-inspiring. It sits comfortably in the shoulder, perfectly balanced, and feels rock-steady whether shooting off sticks or from a rest.

The folding stock works brilliantly. Folded, the rifle measures about 97 cm (just under a meter), so it’s compact enough to fit easily into a car’s boot — no bakkie required.
Tuning is remarkably easy. With my previous rifle, I was always hesitant to make adjustments — I’d send it in for tuning because even a small temperature change could throw things off. Without a chronograph or proper setup, that became a hassle. With the Epic Two Airgun, however, I sat down at the range and within about 45 minutes had it tuned to shoot consistent 3-shot groups at 150 m. The process is genuinely straightforward — very user-friendly — and something anyone can manage.
It ships in a sturdy carry case, which I appreciate for protection during transport. The CZ barrel gives it excellent rigidity and consistency, translating directly into accuracy.
I chose a slug and tuned around it, and I’m convinced you can dial in just about any projectile with a bit of effort. Like most PCPs air rifles, it has its preferences, but the tuning flexibility is impressive — something that makes it ideal for both competitive long range airgun shooting and hunting.

The action is exceptionally smooth — smoother than previous models I’ve owned. Sometimes you barely notice the round chambering. The cocking lever feels positive and precise, and one of the true highlights is the trigger. It’s fantastic — light, crisp, and easy to adjust. Within 10 minutes and a few hex keys, I had it set exactly how I like it.
I’m currently using the Epic Two for field shooting out to 150 m, and the results have been outstanding. I’ve shot two competitions so far and managed 3-shot groups at 40 m from a standing position over sticks — the accuracy is definitely there. It’s also more forgiving than my previous rifles, and that solid weight helps. With the rifle scope mounted, it comes in at around 5.6 kg, which gives it a great, stable feel in the shoulder.

Overall, the Epic Two 700 mm PCP Airgun performs beautifully in the field and on the bench. I’ve used it for both competition and hunting, and it continues to impress.

Thank you for the excellent service — the entire purchase experience has been completely positive with Patriot in South Africa. I can wholeheartedly recommend the Epic Two to anyone serious about precision shooting in South Africa, provided it fits within their budget. – Wimpy van der Merwe.
