Veteran or edgun matador

[Eddy1840]

Hey guys I'm already thinking which one is going to be my next gun, I have two choices Edgun matador or taipan veteran. I would like to know from you guys about accuracy and shot count let's say both are .22. I want it for hunting and target shooting in the back yard...

I just ordered an Edgun Matador Huma Magnum in 25 caliber. The reason I did so was good service I was getting from Edgun west on my other Edgun the Leishy I can’t comment on the Veteran as I just never considered it. The new version of the Edgun that I ordered has the potential to be a true 200 shooter, I know it will take work on my part but long distance Shooting is very enjoyable for me. How big is your back yard? If that’s the only place your going to shoot if it matters where you live and neighbors get a Silencer, I got one from Donny FL that has a good rep. If your yard is small Edgun also makes a short version which is plenty strong. One reason Other reason I picked Matador is when ever I saw one up for sale they sold quickly. Good luck and hopefully someone will get to you about the veteran.

Here are some good videos on the matador from the store I purchased from Brian (not me) from edgun explains everthing we’ll check it out. You’ll see that some of the pointed out problems in the first video are corrected in the 3rd

"Eddy1840"Do you know how many shots you'll get from the matador

I believe the Matador standard .22 will give you about 70+ shots if I'm not mistaken. My .22 Matador .22 short gets 50 shots with a 215bar fill and 40 shots on a 200 bar fill. After having owned a Taipan (mutant) and now owning a .22 Matador I would have to say for me it is a pretty good toss up. They are both great rifles. The Taipan gets the points for just overall smoothness, it just works and works very well. Matador wins hands down in the looks department IMO. I think both have exceptional build quality and would last you a lifetime and accuracy is great with both. I will say Taipan trigger is miles ahead of EDgun and while they both might be equally accurate, the Taipan will be easier to shoot accurately if that makes sense? That was my experience anyhow. With my Mutant it was spot on everytime, just aim and pull the trigger. My matador takes more focus with the trigger and I need to make sure to have a consistent hold each shot or I will pull the shot. Enough rambling though, either one will serve you well! You can always buy one now and pick up the other later.

Thanks guys, the veteran is side lever action, easy to adjust the hammer spring and also the anti double load feature
