accuracy problem Edgun Matador R3M 25
Hello,
I am from Europe.
I have Matador 25 cal standard version since yanuary 2015.
So far I fired about 3000 pellets and 4 times I cleaned barrel. Speed had set at 285 m / s and using exclusively JSB Kings. (Ed advice me) .
At chrony test standard deviation is 3 m/s, which is great.
The scope I using is Tac Vector FFP 6-25×56.
Generally I am satisfied with the rifle, but obviously I have a little problem with precision.
The best group of nine pellets at 50 meters is 35mm, which is not great result. I saw that Matador be much better

Please advice or suggestion how to improve the accuracy?

Touching a bit on the subject of accuracy, does anyone know if the .25 barrels have been designed in the same proprietary fashion as with the Matador .22? I know that some great pains and money have been put into the “best match” barrel by Ed and Lother Walters to obtain the best precision, with .22 JSBs. Was this process duplicated for the .25?

One other thought…you can adjust the second stage trigger release to be lighter. This will help take care of any “flinching” or jerking when pulling the trigger. This factor alone can ruin a shot group, and you would never know you are doing it.
Keep us posted. This is interesting to know.

What I am about to post may seem offensive but it is not meant that way. The .25 EDgun is harder to shoot. It jumps a lot and it requires a lot of practice. I shot mine every day for about 3 months before I could one hole it at 50 yards. Hand pressure, face pressure and trigger control is more difficult with the .25 EDgun. Even Ed himself says it’s harder to shoot. I have over 7K rounds though mine and I still have good days and bad. The .22 on the other hand will make a mediocre shoot look good.
If the FPS is consistent the fault is not the gun.
I have the same problem with mine .25 here in Brazil…17mm 20mm and 35mm at 25 yards…I test the rifle with diferents speeds 850,880 900 930 and 960 fps with JSB Kings but without sucess,and decide back..I dont go get more .25
I back the rifle,and waiting now one .22
more waiting now…. :sadn:
Thank you all, I will tested gun in solid vice and see what results will be. I hope that is not a problem in the rifle
Keep in touch

Dear Realbone,
The Edgun will consistently outshoot the best of marksmen.
The problem may not be the gun, it may be you, or some other outside factor.
Place the gun in a heavy, well anchored, solid vice or gun holder. With only your finger touching the trigger, fire several five shot groups and see what the results are. If they are tight, then it’s not the gun.
Eliminate the obvious before you spend a great deal of time searching for other causes.
Kind regards,
Uncle Hoot:
Is there any shroud clipping going on? Mark up the inside of the hole in the front of the shroud with a black marker and see if you get any lead streaks. It might be clipping to get that far off. It is a common affliction with Edguns.
Also I’d clean the barrel more often then, “So far I fired about 3000 pellets and 4 times I cleaned barrel” = 750 shots ?
Being a 25 cal every 150 shot or so ………
Try a different scope.
May want to try 280.4 mps.

You should try to shoot at dawn with the sun behind your back. Thanks to that you will be able to see the trajectory of your pellets. They should fly straight without any spirraling/wobbling.
Using a level on the gun will help shrink the groups some. Also, your barrel might like a different pellet.

Yes they are the same.
here is one magazine .25 at 75 yards
Here are four different groups shot at 200 yards (three shots to the left checking wind, three to the right over doped for wind, 4 too low, two dead center) If you take the time to learn these guns you will not believe what they are capable of.
