Q:

Second time around,,,bullpups and Matador R3M

Trying bullpups again after about 7 years.Bought a used Matador R3M and so far really digging it.This particular pup is a standard R3M with a LONG rubberized stock.Came to me this way and i likes it! Ran a 40 shot string over the chrono and its avg 904 fps with a extreme spread of 13fps,,,GOOD STUFF!!! (JSB 18grn pellets)

Really like the feel and quality of this Edgun and enjoyed watching Eds videos of what he does in making his products.Cool to see a manufacture show and explain his guns and share it on Youtube,,,,Why don’t more manufactures do this????

Anyways back to my R3M,,,the trigger is just fine to me and for what i will be using it for,,,pesting and bench shooting in my backyard.The moderator is very backyard friendly and the accuracy is outstanding.I was getting dime/nickel sized groups at 40 yds.When i brought the rifle in i cleaned the barrel and the first 2 patches were extremely dirty so I’m pretty sure i can do better with a clean barrel.

I do have to get used to my face on the receiver but its definitely not a game breaker,,,don’t have a problem with the bolt at all and really wouldn’t mind a single shot.

Anyways took a few pics of my R3M so here she is in all her glory,,,,

Oh i put a Tac Vector 4.5-18x Marksman on it and couldn’t be happier with this scope for the $$$.Heres a few pics of the scope as well,,,


very useable reticle but this pic really doesn’t do this scope glass justice,,,took it from my cell phone


modified this side wheel i had laying around to make range finding a bit easier,,,,would be cool if it came with a 3″ side wheel

May just need to adjust the rear concentric to pull the rear of the action down a bit ?

Very nice Matador …… that all black look is bad ass !

Congrats on a nice bull pup! Is the end of the air tube touching the shroud? Might just look that way in the pics…

The previous owner put this carbon wrap tape on the shroud and it does look like its touching the airtube,,,,,I’m going to have to take the tape off to see.

Thanks for the good eye i don’t think i ever would have noticed that.
