Matador R3 30 Cal Arrived

The R3 arrived yesterday, after going through and cleaning the R3 Im impressed with the build quality. I was trying to get out to do some shooting but the weather has not cooperated. When the rain let up I went to the farm and set up but the wind was blowing 15 – 20+ mph in different directions.

I did get about 15 shots off and the first thing that went through my head was the recoil then how quiet it was for a 75 fpe airgun. The R3 shoulders beautifully, very well balanced and it felt lighter than I expected. What also surprised me was the trigger, it was only 15 shots but I was expecting it to be heavier.

The weatherman says a 30% chance of rain with 5 to 10 mph winds tomorrow. Im hoping to shoot some groups at 75 and 100 yards on camera then upload it on you-tube. Here are a couple of photos.
