My EdGun Matador R3M 22 cal
I received my Matador (01/05/2014) in absolutely perfect condition and in 3 days ! 
I enjoyed talking to Tony R, he is easy to joke around with so much so I forgot to order some extra Brass rings ! 😳
2+3 extra mags, 2 valve stems and an extra fill probe.
I fill to 220 bar and shot down to 110 bar using JSB 18g, here the out of box chrony results with a 920 fps average.
I refilled to 200 bar and got 50 good shots down to 120 bar.
I haven’t cleaned the barrel yet, 5 shot group at 50 yards with little wind.
5 shot group 75 yards with little wind.
At rest on my chrony/work bench, I can’t wait for this weekend hopping it doesn’t rain !!
Thanks for l@@king !

Sure, thanks Tony I’ve used that as well from time to time ……
The hardest thing is to find the same image that you posted before and replace it with the new host.
The best way for me is to let your computer to do the looking and finding when editing/reloading pics on your old post.
If you need to reupload your PB pics ….. it not that hard to do manually if your using Host like Postimage or Imgur and have the old pics on your HD.
Make and name a file in Postimage, all that is edited will upload to Postimage don’t upload all of them beforehand !
This way only files/pics that you posted/used will be upload to the host and not take up any unnecessary extra space.
Hit TAG edit on your old post and you need to recognize the picture number your camera used.
Highlight it and press Ctrl C.
Go to Postimage and find or direct it to your folder that contains your images/pics (side by side I’d open 2 windows, one for TAG and Postimage).
Hit upload image.
Window Explorer opens look for your folder that contains all the pictures, on the top header there’s a Search Library box, click on it and press Ctrl V.
Click on the picture it finds to upload it to Postimage.
The rest is straightforward and the above should work with other Host as well as long as it has a (browse to the file location) or a (choose file location) option.
… …. … easy peasy once you get to used to it, besides

Thanks for the reply RomeoAlfa, I appreciate it !
Yah, I would think we’d need a little play for dismounting and remounting POI changes if any, I like the 4 click past too.
I’ve seen those Seekins rings they look and I heard there of very good quality but unfortunately they don’t come in .5″/1.05″ height that I looked for.
~ Greg
I have the same scope on mine and love it. I also have the zero stop shims and I setup mine the same way so they go about 4 clicks past zero. I went with Seekins Precision rings on mine, they are made very well and they have very nice Torx hardware to torque them.
No idea what Jan is up to 😐
For target shooting I’d think u need more magnification for precision target shooting then 15x especially in extreme/serious competition.
IMO it’s more for what I like to do the most often that’s pesting/hunting the thicker reticle is a plus for me it’s easier to see it in the brush.
It being used for target shooting maybe out to 75 yards or so max for me which I don’t do to often, but I’m keeping the 20x SW incase someone call me out ……………. again. :biggrinn:
~ Greg
Woah, nice rings! Looks sturdy as f*ck. Glad you like the FFP. Is the reticle “too thick” at 15x or can you still paper punch with it?
No idea what Jan is up to 😐
……….. yah it’s a blast, no need for dividing or multiplying !
Also notice that it seems to be a bit more parallax error sensitive compared to my Hawke SW, eye placement is more critical.
I ordered new rings but it’s taking so long to come in from Amazon.
I’m going to mount my other SWFA SS FFP with this rings onto my Cricket 22 std.
I like the .5″ height it fits me well.
By the way Cricket where’s # 8 (Octavius/Jan) I haven’t seen him post in awhile …………
~ Greg
So how is the scope coming along? Enjoying FFP?
Okay, I made a formula for the Zero Stop Shim to use with the SWFA SS scopes for you DIY guys. :biggrinn:
Zero Stop shim thickness = (.165”<->.168”) – (.0005” x # of clicks from Optical Center to your zero)
If you prefer a slight over shoot use .165”, I got about 4 clicks pass zero which I like better.
If you like to be closer to your zero use .168”, if it’s under you can always remove a bit more.
NOTE: You must count the click from Optical/Factory Center, if you lost that position you will need to Optical Center your scope to begin to make the shim(s).
I made a jig with scrap wood to sand down the nylon washer to whatever thickness I need.

brother Greg,,,
i have to admit that i couldn’t understand how you did this??!!!
i know what is the zero stop ,,,but i didn’t get your way … :biggrinn: :biggrinn:
I went to my local hardware store today to pick up some Nylon washers for cheap to try and make my own Zero Stops , 1” OD x .75”ID x 1/16” thick.
I marked Optical center with a red Sharpie for reference back when I need to ……..
So I installed 2 and got very close to what I needed, which both together measured .258” thick.
For every complete full rotation it changes by .025”.
To de-gas the turret I used a piece of paper and cut it to look like this with a slit down the middle to help release the air.
After tightening the 3 set screws on the turrets to 5 in/lbs I gently removed the paper degasser…….
~ Greg
Ahhh…, this is why you bought two identical scopes. You can always claim there is just one!
We’ll do Soze,
The trouble is, I need to get it from the wife when she’s not looking …….. 😯
The postman just drop off number 2.
