Edgun Matador R3 in .25 cal.

[stillair1]

Edgun Morana don't know if it's in production.

[jonezy25]

Have they started producing a multishot version yet?? I love the look, style, and accuracy of these guns, but no multishot that i've seen.

[tomgun]

I am not worried if it is in single shot would love to get an Edgun. Is there a UK importer yet?

Sorry to rain on anyone's parade over this but the truth is that even at FAC level it isn't as good as the Rapid or any of the other leading makes. I tried one at Bisley and was underwhelmed to say the least and that was BEFORE I heard how much the chap had paid for it. Then I was totally shocked. Honestly I think I'd rather have an Air Arms S410 in FAC than an Edgun. They are RIDICULOUSLY expensive. The only positive thing to say is that you would almost certainly be the only person in your club who owns one.

The sad reality of it is though nick, it's like rapids, out of the box they are not the best rifles for the money, but if you tune a rapid, or get it tuned by someone, they are extremely good! It's the same as the edguns, not the best out of the box but tuned! Whole different ball game, i like watching the ted's holdover channel on youtube, he has a tuned edgun matador, it is a supergun.

I don't agree with you on this. Out of the box I think the Rapid is the BEST rifle for the money in the same way that I think the AA S400 series represents the best VALUE for money on the market today. The Edgun I tried was working fine too so 'tuning' wasn't my first concern. Of course tuning improves most things but you don't address the large difference in price between a standard Rapid and an Edgun. That surely is the most important thing because tuning is only done to rectify faults or shortcomings present in the standard item. I certainly don't spend extra money for the sake of it and definitely not just for bragging rights at my club! I expect the forking thing to be right at the outset and any money I spend after that has got to make a real difference to performance. Also to get work done on an Edgun I suggest would be a lot more trouble than getting work done on a Rapid.
I don't actually agree with you on the Rapid 'out of the box'. OK it is a long time since I bought a new Rapid but my recollection is that both of mine-FAC Mark 1 and FAC Mark 2-were first class from the first shot to the last. Later on I had my Mk 1 regulated by Ben Taylor which improved the shot count enormously but the Mk 2 with fast flow was so good I didn't spend the extra money on having it regulated. Was spending 25% extra on my Mark 1 to gain 90 shots per fill against 50 from the fast flow worth it? Technically yes but would I do it now? Probably not. These days I buy second hand and expect to have to do some work but generally speaking I find that I don't.
Rapids for me every time-but I think you knew that anyway!

Hi,

I own some Air Arms, Theobens and an Edgun R3 Matador Long in.25.

Choosing which one is the best is a very personal thing. To me, I think, it's my Theoben Rapid MkII in .25.

I thought I should come back on this thread which I revisited when i did a search on Edgun.
I must confess that i am warming to the design. It appears to be well made and is certainly very compact. From the video clips on Youtube it also looks accurate. It is clearly VERY expensive and in legal limit I wouldn't consider it but if an FAC .22 or 25 came up I might well give it a go.
For the same reason I might well consider one of the Kalibrguns as well.
I recognise however that the chances of a FAC one coming up at a price that makes any sense is very small.

I ordered the R3M .25 standard at the start of November. It should give me a fairly flat trajectory out to about 60 yards at 54ftlbs. Some of the guys over the pond have been reporting indexing problems.

It looks as if the indexing cam arm is too shallow, and isn't pushing the magazine fully into alignment although there appears to be no accuracy problems because of it. Just in case I've ordered a modified cam from a guy in the US who has fixed the problem.

I'm looking forward to putting the rifle through it paces, I've stacked up on polymags which are reported to be very accurate in this rifle as well s the 18 grain JSB's to well past my shooting ranges.
