Watch & Discuss the EDgun Matador R5M !!!

[bckyrdsnpr52]

The only downside to the R5M is you can't single load by hand, unless you get someone to make a loading tray.

Great bullpup gun... cant wait for the review of the Leshiy

 

[mag13]

Gotta say Steve, your presentations are the best, they're informative & concise but best off all you make it fun for all...thanks for the time you put into these videos. That is absolutely one nice "puppy".

Love this bull pup. Nice 100 yard target!

 

[IAHawk]

Well done Steve. Nice package, thanks.

Thanks for great review!

I am dreaming about EDgun Matador R5M.

Can't wait to get the package in my hands.

I do not see a downside, seems to be a perfect size and weight for hunting and a solid gun! I like it.

There is no downside I can see to owning this pup and touts 2 significant attributes. Performance & handling was all good everywhere. Steve

 

[BarryW]

Love your reviews Steve. Your knowledge and your presentation is second to none. You've sure helped me with my purchases. I haven't been lead down a wrong turn yet.

So at the end the 100 yd group looked quite good, even though the shorter form represents some challenge shooting from bags. Do you think that the long version would give you even better results?

Also wonder how this gun measures up against the Ukrainian competition (e.g., Taipain Veteran), and FX Wildcat, Dream-Tac, basically higher end bullpups designed for small game hunting.

I know they tested FX's new hybrid slugs with the Veteran and I imagine that they work very well in the FX guns, but I wonder how they would perform in the R5M for example. Now, those slugs are only available in .22 and you tested a .25 cal here, but I guess in the future when those and other manufacturer's hybrid slugs will be widely available your testing duties will expand and perhaps involve maybe a couple of those hunting slugs.

Good job, Steve, Merry Christmas!

Agreed! I'm accumulating slugs now from H&N, JSB, FX, and NSA and will incorporate them into all culling going forward. Steve

Thanks for sharing another great review Steve. Thanks to all the sponsors that donated all the cool stuff as well. I'm not 100% sure but I think that .25" group has been the tightest that you've recorded. Very nice...

… and just to be certain I wasn't bo-bo-ing you guys, I shot 3 of them like that. Steve

Labradar shows a final FPS data for 25 yards though the target says it is 50 yards down range. Check around 4:45 in the video.

UPDATE: Nevermind, Steve said in the YouTube comments it was a settings mistake.

Great informative video! Thanks Steve.

I'll address it here too. I have memory of changing that to 50 (10-20-30-40-50) when I arrived at the pasture & setup but I guess it didn't take AND I didn't notice (not even in editing). At home, I cull at 25 for the vlog and that's where the setting was from. I blew that. Sorry guys. First time for everything I suppose. 

Getting senile in my old age.

This is definitely something Ed could do...

 

[AEAC]

The best parts were the looks on Steve’s face after the 50 and 100 yard groups. The expression looks like very pleased... if not surprised.

Surprised and pleased. Steve

This is supposed to be a discussion on this rifle but all I've seen is a bunch of comments. Just to get your name on the board.

Discussion is always more interesting but it's my belief that these members are just showing their appreciation of the event and factory support at the ground level... two uncommon things in our industry.

If the OEM ain't feelin' the love from y'all, they won't participate again. 

Best, Steve

 

[miatamama]

Steve, tests show this is a great gun. I kept waiting for you to say I'm keeping this one as you were testing. jcs

 

[Cone]

I love that this shoots the Polymags so good! I wonder if FX is going to make the Hybrid slug in .25, that would be another great option for longer range shooting. Thanks for all the great info and time you put into these reviews Steve!

I hear you Steve and maybe I jumped the gun on that comment but I really want to hear what other people think, and not just a quick thank you for the giveaway or if people have questions, I would love to answer them, which I have on the few actual questions that were out there.

The Edgun Matador R5M Long .25 has been an excellent rifle for me, thank you for your contribute to this sport and to the vendors that supplied all the gear for this giveaway.

Truly amazing engineering!

 

[AirgunnerSFL]

As always, another quality product from Edgun West!
