Edgun Matador R5M Eye Candy - pics inside

I just received the R5M .25 from Brian @ EdgunWest and the gun is superb in both looks and accuracy.

Gun is topped off with Vortex rings and the new Vortex Diamondback 6-24x50 FFP scope.

It's dialed in at 900 fps using 25.4g pellets and right now easily putting up sub half inch groups at 60 yards, which is as far as I can shoot in my back yard.











Here they are together: The R5M and R5, both in standard length






 
What do you think of that Vortex Diamondback 6-24x50? Which is better the Hawke or the V?


Vortex is a better scope. It's my first FFP scope, and my first scope with that kind of zoom. I mostly hunt with my rifles so a 10x power scope is plenty for what I need, but the 24x is legit for long range precision shooting. The best part about that Vortex scope is that even at 24x, it's very clear and with no distortion. For $255 from OpticsPlanet this week, it's a steal.
