EPIC VISION: Built From Feedback, Not Guesswork

As EPIC’s UK importer and distributor, we were given a clear task almost two years ago:
Collect everything.
The praise.
The complaints.
The trade opinions.
The missed sales.
The “I nearly bought one but…” conversations.
Since the launch of the EPIC ONE and TWO, the brand has grown rapidly. The ONE became the powerhouse flagship bullpup.
The TWO carved out its space as a benchrest monster. Accurate, overbuilt, modular and unapologetically engineered.
But there was a gap.
The Lightweight Question
In 2025 EPIC turned its attention to the lightweight pest control category. The space occupied by rifles like the AGT Vixen, Airmaks Katran, KalibrGun Snipe and BRK Pathfinder.
The EPIC TWO, in full benchrest trim, was simply too specialised and too expensive to sit comfortably in that bracket.
So EPIC did what they do best: they went back to the digital drawing board... CAD.
They redesigned the rear end around an AR buffer tube system and slimmed down the forend rails. Those architectural changes allowed them to move away from fully CNC-machined bespoke stocks and instead utilise high-quality, off-the-shelf components that kept the weight and price down.
The outcome was the EPIC TWO LITE.
Launched in March 2025, it reduced weight, lowered cost and increased versatility.
It was backwards compatible with existing TWO rifles, meaning owners could convert their bench gun into something more field-friendly without replacing the entire platform.
Trade responded well. Customers responded even better.
Lightweight, collapsible, side lever, junior-friendly. It made sense.
But feedback didn’t stop.
From Feedback to “VISION”
Over two years, a steady stream of information flowed back to EPIC.
Conversations with retailers.
Range days with competition shooters.
Review units being pushed hard.
Customers who loved the platform but wanted something simpler.
Potential buyers who liked the engineering but were intimidated by perceived complexity or pricing.
Patterns began to emerge.
Shooters wanted something purpose-built for sub-16J from the ground up. Not a globally designed rifle tuned down for the UK. Not something requiring plenum swaps, spring changes or detuning.
They wanted a rifle that simply worked, out of the box, exactly as intended for this market.
In December 2025, EPIC told us they had built it. The customers' "VISION".
The name wasn’t marketing fluff. It was literal. This rifle was shaped directly by what customers told us their vision of the ideal PCP should be. Lighter than the original platforms.
Simpler where it needed to be. Retaining the engineering that made EPIC stand out. Removing the excess that didn’t need to be there.
More importantly, this variant was designed around a dedicated sub-16-joule valve system for the UK. No turning it down. No compromise. Just correct from the start.
That alone sets it apart from most manufacturers.
Shared Platform Features
Every VISION ships with two upgraded, removable faceplate magazines. They are easier to load, reduce pellet fall-through and allow the use of slugs should you choose to experiment within sub-16 limits.
The redesigned action block includes a smooth lever, AR-style safety, 30 MOA Picatinny rail, fully adjustable trigger and blade, and a QD Foster fill connector in place of the old probe system.
There are mounting points for thumb rests, compatibility with AR flat-top grips, and a rear buffer tube stock interface. Prefer a skeletonised setup? A 1913 Picatinny stock conversion is soon available.
Underneath, the elongated Picatinny rail allows for optional ARCA cages, adding both reservoir protection and expanded mounting options via ARCA and M-LOK. All are optional to keep the price down. If you don't use them, you don't pay for them!
Streamlined does not mean stripped.
The Barrel System Stays
One of the defining features of the EPIC TWO was its barrel architecture.
A CZ non-choked barrel housed within a tensionable carbon fibre shroud that acts both as a moderator and as a harmonic tuning system. That ability to fine-tune barrel behaviour to your chosen pellet is something usually reserved for dedicated target rifles. This has of course been carried through to the VISION.
At the muzzle, you’ll find EPIC’s own silencer thread, designed for their sintered-core moderator, which is tuned specifically to complement the platform’s harmonics. Prefer third-party options? The included 1/2" UNF adaptor keeps things flexible.
The EPIC VISION Line-Up
At launch, the VISION comes in four variants, all built around the same redesigned core platform.
VISION 300 Classic Aluminium Air Tube
Barrel: 300mm CZUB, non-choked, 12 grooves, 17:7" twist
Air Capacity: 125cc air tube + 50cc plenum
Fill Pressure: 300 BAR
Shot Count: Approx 140
Weight: 2410g
Overall Length: 750mm
This is the smallest, lightest and most affordable version. Under 2.5kg and still offering a triple-digit shot count. Ideal for mobile pest control or shooters who prioritise handling over sheer air volume.
VISION 300 Carbon Fibre Bottle
Barrel: 300mm CZUB, non-choked, 12 grooves, 17:7" twist
Air Capacity: 300cc bottle + 50cc plenum
Fill Pressure: 300 BAR
Shot Count: Approx 380
Weight: 2570g
Overall Length: 750mm
Same compact footprint, dramatically increased shot count. For those who love short rifles but hate refilling.
VISION 420 Classic Aluminium Air Tube
Barrel: 420mm CZUB, non-choked, 12 grooves, 17:7" twist
Air Capacity: 205cc air tube + 50cc plenum
Fill Pressure: 300 BAR
Shot Count: Approx 200
Weight: 2740g
Overall Length: 870mm
A longer barrel for those leaning more toward rested target shooting. Greater efficiency without pushing weight anywhere near traditional bench rifles.
VISION 420 Carbon Fibre Bottle
Barrel: 420mm CZUB, non-choked, 12 grooves, 17:7" twist
Air Capacity: 580cc bottle + 50cc plenum
Fill Pressure: 300 BAR
Shot Count: Approx 850
Weight: 2910g
Overall Length: 870mm
If your idea of happiness is not filling up very often, this is your rifle. Nearly 900 shots from a sub-16J platform while still staying under 3kg is frankly absurd in the best way.

Sounds good, I look forward to the other stock option. It would be nice to possibly have a bundle price with moderator and bottle guard :-)
Looks like a decent bit of kit and I like that it's specifically built for us and not just turned down the power. On that same note though, a 30MOA scope rail seems a bit silly knowing we can't shoot 100+ yards most of the time. Funny they're the same price given the longer barrels and bottles / cylinders, you'd think more materials would cost more no?
