Q:

R2.5 vs R3

For those that have shot both, how does the R3 stack up against R2.5?

I ask b/c I need to sell either 1) my R2.5 OR 2) my AZ HW100 FSB to fund my new R3 (Got the email yesterday). You can never have enough guns, but I got hit with a tax bill from hell so one has to go to fund the new arrival. I’m inclined to ditch the HW but not sure. Thoughts? Not sure I need two EdGuns right now (and no chance of not taking delivery of the R3) but might kick myself down the road if I sell the R2.5.

Conflicted,
Ben

Well, how does the Edgun shoot compared to the AZ tuned HW?

I have had 3 Matadors. Still have the first one, a R2.5 22 cal standard and I had a R2.5 25 cal long that I sold. I also have a R3 25 long.

I much prefer the R3 over the R2.5. The R3 has a LW barrel that is made to Ed’s specs and I really like the way that the barrel screws into the front breech block on the R3s. The R3s don’t have a breech end barrel O ring that can blow out. I think that the R3 are more accurate because of the changes.

I did a lot of tuning on my R 2.5 25 long, I even put a BSA barrel on it. My R3 25 long shot slightly better right out of the box.

Not to take advantage…but, if you by chance decide to let the edgun go…

Sell the R2.X, then you will have a rifle and a bullpup.

Two totally different concepts will make you a better man, and give you the potential to engage in more varied air gun experiences.

Plus…you can sell the R2.X easily for $2K, and have enough to take your woman out to a nice dinner somewhere..

The HW100 won’t bring in near that much, but is a keeper in it’s own right.
