Those R7's can be REALLY accurate considering they are such a light, porter type springer. I can't really speak to the 25 range but Saturday at about 18 feet I put 5 pellets through a hole that is barely bigger than a single pellet strike. Given the modest velocity of the R7, I think 25 yds might be getting "out there" for the R7 to stilll make teeny tiny groups. But with good light and wind condtions you should get good accuracy. Your 50 foot groups are nicer than I can shoot. Note I have read of a few hunters who take pest birds up to the size of pigeons to surprising distances with their R7's. I'd send a pm to you.
