Air rifle "Edgan Matador" refers to the weapons presented in the so-called "bullap" layout. In other words, the defining components of the gun - the trigger and the bolt are located in the rear of the body, in close proximity to the butt. A specific design feature allowed the manufacturer to give the Edgan Matador rifle the most compact dimensions, which did not affect the decrease in firing accuracy.
Key Features
"Edgan Matador" refers to the category of PCP rifles. Here, the cartridge is released from the barrel under the influence of compressed air energy. A series of rifles immediately attracts attention with high-quality assembly. Beech wood is widely used as a material for making the bed. Some modifications contain a bed of graphite, which is practically not erased during operation.
The standard equipment includes:
- charging nipple;
- technical documentation;
- passport;
- test targets;
- Video instruction;
- case.
Standard model
The pneumatic rifle "Matador" of the standard sample has a length of 74.5 cm. Currently, models of caliber 4.5 and 5.5 mm are presented to the attention of the consumer. Pneumatic guns of this category are recommended to be operated in a temperature mode from -10 to 30 ° C.
The standard Matador air rifle goes on sale in a tucked-in condition. During operation, the user can refuel with compressed air using a specialized pump or a discharge station.
The gun is supplemented by a manometer, which allows you to monitor the level of pressure in the air tank. Changing this indicator allows you to improve the quality of shooting in certain conditions.
As for the use of sights, the Matador air rifle makes it possible to install optical, laser and collimator means.
Extended modification
It is the most overall version of the rifle from the production line "Edgan Matador." The length of the model is 89 cm with a weight of 3.1 kg.
The presented version is distinguished by reliability of assembly and high quality workmanship. The model may contain both a traditional butt of wood color and texture, and a body completely painted in neutral shades. At the same time, particles of graphite and mica are added to the paintwork compositions, the presence of which significantly increases the life of the model.
Short modification
The most compact air rifle "Matador". The weight of the gun is only 2.5 kg, and the length is equivalent to 68 cm. Despite the relatively compact dimensions, the weapon is notable for its high power.
The main design feature of the shortened modification is the displacement of the store slightly to the right with respect to the axis of the barrel. This solution allowed the manufacturer to increase the usability of the gun for the user.
The basic configuration contains several stores of 10 rounds each. At the first need, an empty bullet container is easily replaced with a new one. For storage of stores, special mounts are provided in the area of the bar for the installation of sights.
Multi-charge model
The use of a modified multi-charged version of the Matador rifle makes it possible to significantly reduce the time it takes to reload. Significantly higher in such weapons and accuracy of fire.
Dimensions of the modified product are identical to the standard model. However, in this case, there are noticeable design differences. So, the axis of rotation in this case includes several balls that are pressed into the store. This feature allows you to cope with recharging, relying on one free hand.
In addition, it is worth noting the inapplicability of firing from a multiple-charge model with the shutter open. Such actions are fraught with the departure of the sealing gum from the breech of the rifle. The result may be the need to dismantle and replace the upper airgun assembly.
Application
Despite significant competition in the production of airguns, the matador rifle continues to occupy a leading position in the domestic market.
Regardless of the modification, Matador rifles are used mainly for sports and recreational shooting. It is extremely rare that such models are used as the main weapon for serious hunting. The reason is the low rated power of the air rifle.
How much does the Matador air rifle cost? The price of the gun as standard is about 55,000 rubles. The cost may vary depending on the configuration.
