Cool vid. Some info on priest 2 .30cal: In performance version (500 cc bottle, external adj reg, extended stock and 22 cc plenum extension) measured with FX chrono: - With 7.8 mm spring tension / 150 bar / 50,15 gr JSB, results in avg. over 5 shots 871 fps, with a high of 884 fps = 118 Joule. - With 7.8 mm spring tension / 180 bar / 50.15 gr JSB, results in avg. over 5 shots 903 fps, with a high of 912 fps = 126 Joule. And I think you can push it even further when you go to 200 bar on the adj. regulator and/or give it more spring tension. Although RTI Arms says going beyond 180 doesn't give you more. Soon be testing 200 bar and some slugs...
Wow...exciting developments at RTI !!! I stopped at one point to comment about what an improvement it would be if all that silver at the valve/regulator could be, then decided to finish watching first. Half a minute later, you held up the new bottle design. Sweet! I think version 2 is going to disrupt the bullpup market. I can't wait for part2...and 3 of your review, thank you !!!
Why not provide a barrel specifically for slugs like the Nielsen and the Hybrid slugs??? FX has done it, and done it well. Slugs are the big thing in airgunning right now. My hope is that pellets will almost completely disappear. I hate high drag pellets.
Hi Greg, Thanks for the nice intro of Priest 2, I would love to see a video on how to tune it with various power settings for heavier pellets. There is no such video available as of today on TH-cam, please upload one as time allows. Thanks
Thanks for a great video. This version 2 is so much better than the original as you can adjust the power easily for different weight pellets. RTI are great to deal with, very helpful and respond quickly. Unfortunately I live in Turkey where there is currently no agent so I have forwarded links to this video to a couple of the largest retailers to see if I can get some interest.
Hey Gregor.I just have a few questions about this gun which I posed to RTI but they never responded.Here goes: 1. What is the cubic capacity of the area from the regulator to the valve seat including the 35cc plenum? 2. What is the diametre of the transfer port? 3. What is the diametre of the breech port leading to the barrel port? 4. What is the diametre of the barrel port on the .22 calibre? 5. If I attach an empty bottle to the foster coupling at the back of the rifle whilst still having a full bottle connected in the front of the rifle, will this increase the total regulated volume of air for the shot? Look forward to your reply and thanks for the awesome video.
Thanks for your response.Are you sure the barrel port is 5mm as this is more then 80% of the diametre on 5.5mm calibre and also the pellet will fall into the barrel port in 4.5mm calibre.
@@gregorkamensek3923 As I said earlier, RTI is not responding to my emails.This is a reflection on the company.I will think very long and hard before I buy this product.
Beautiful Gregg you said two weeks and it was two weeks love what rti is doing only problem no one carry it near me in the states I can't find no one would have to drive over 6 hrs to get
Single point perhaps... The trigger bar is covered by a flexible alu plate. This, in my opinion, could cause the trigger to cycle if pushed hard enough
Thanks Gregor ... being waiting to make the purchase. But will still like to see the real shooting tests, so please post that soooon. Want to get my Priest ....please shoot !!! Nice to see RTI still working on efforts to improve pellets as slugs are still quite pricy and hard to get where I am.
Good and very complete review except for one thing, showing of the ergonomics in shouldering the weapon, cheeking and alignment of the eye to the scope center.
Hi Gregor. How well does the Priest fire slugs and will you share your experience with the new cz barrels for long range soon ? Thanks for all your previous reviews I learned a lot more about pcp’s through you, thanks.
Hi. I am about to make the video shooting slugs with Priest. Note: the new cusom barrel is form Lothar Walther and is only good for shooting pellets NOT slugs. For slugs it is better to use regular barrel (regular barrel is CZ).
Interested. Perhaps that's my next gun. I have a couple of questions though... I only hear you talk about .22 cal. Is there a .25 version of the Priest 2 issued yet? If so, what is the standard barrel, CZ? And will there be a custom LW barrel in .25 cal? Thanks in advance.
The Priest 2 comes in 4 calibers: .177, .22, .25, .30, same as was The Priest 1. The standard barrels will be the same as on V1 (all CZ except .30 LW). Right now, the long range pellet barrel is in .22 and soon there will also be in .25. These are LW. This is what I know right now, things might change so I suggest you follow their web page.
Hello Gregor, to inform you, i learned that 1.77/.22 Priest 2 can not be rebuilt to .25/.30. The valve is different. I learned because i bought a .22 Priest 2 with .22 LR barrel. I could not get JSB Redesigned past 260m/s, even with heavier spring and extra hammerweight. So i asked RTI what's going on here and they told me that the valve in my .22 Priest has a too small diameter. I need .25/.30 valve. So i'm not happy at the moment, i hope they offer a solution.
Hi. Thanks for the info, I was not aware of this. For my tests, I used the same gun for all calibers but I guess I had the .25 / .30 version? I did have different regulators to achieve higher velocities (125 and 150 bar) and hammers accordingly.
@@gregorkamensek3923 Yes, a friend of mine has the .25 and bought later on the .22 LR barrel, he has no problem getting high velocities with Redesigned. I have the adjustable reg by the way. @150 bar i could only get 260m/s.
looking forward to seeing you taking the extreme by storm. that new Priest all tricked out would suit me fine. love your videos, but please could you do a Huben .25 review.
Hi Gregor! Could you point me to the video you said you adjust the first stage of your trigger on the Priest 1? I've been watching all your videos about the Priest and I can't find it. Thanks!
It's so different to see you with short hair jajajaja, great video and as many would say, I think RTI is doing good stuff but the problem is that you can't get them everywhere. Thanks for sharing and waiting for the accuracy performance.
Hi Gregg, Thank you for informative video! Can you tell me how this gun will perform with non lead pellets such as 22 cal H&N Barracuda Greens or GTO Predators? Will the custom long range barrel shoot them well? I can only use no lead because I use my pellet gun to shoot birds to feed my falcons. Thanks again. Keith
This barrel should shoot well with all pellet up to JSB Monster redesign weight / length (it does not handle Beasts well), so you should be OK, but I haven't made any test with lead free to confirm this.
Gregor Kamenšek, victor of Chile could improve the bolt, I have the priest 2 hp .22 cerakote 500 cc carbon bottle, I have it 2 months ago and I know that I broke the bolt alen bolt and the other came with a moderator donny both, which raises the barrel little space between bottle and cannon. wear the moderator piece but still not grouped?
I believe the carbon fibre bottle only rated for maximum 250 bar while the smaller aluminium bottle is rated for 300 bar. How does this affect comparable shot count and maximum power available. Dutch seller says that Carbo Fibre gives slightly less power. How easy is it to adjust the new regulator?? I know decreasing power should be straightforward but if increasing say from 125 to 175 would it be best to make several small adjustments??
CB bottle is made for 300 bar fill so you only gain shots. It is extremely easy to adjust the reg. All you need is 3 mm alley key. For increasing, you do not need to take small steps, all you need to do it turn the screw counterclockwise. For reducing, it is slightly more complex. You need to turn the screw clockwise a little but and take a few dry shots and repeat... or you can remove the bottle, make a few clockwise turns and then reattach the bottle and start raising the pressure until you have it at desired pressure. In this case, you will still have the higher pressure remaining in the plenum until you taken a few shoots so just be aware of this.
One more thing. CF bottle has nothing to do with power. The power only depends on the regulated pressure and the hammer... If lower power is obtained by CF bottle, it is because the regulator was at a slightly different pressure or changes were made to hammer weight / spring. Bottle is just a container and has nothing to do with power.
@@gregorkamensek3923 Many thanks for your response Gregor. RTI's Dutch retailer may be using a different C/F bottle because on their website they say "You are not allowed to fill this carbon at 300 bar, but at 250 bar maximum." I hope RTI or their retailers offer this as a "Match" version - with long range barrel, externally adjustable regulator and extended butt plate to enable easy adjustment of hammer spring as standard. It IS OK to have all these parts as upgrades but for example why would you want to buy with standard regulator if you are never going to use it. I am eagerly waiting Part 2 of this video to see 100 metre accuracy with redesigned monsters in 22. In theory with the rifle in the above configuration shooting at about 970 fps should give the optimum accuracy. Just been looking at your earlier reviews and then if you changed the regulator pressure you also needed to change the hammer spring and use a heavier guide. Does the new extended butt plate alone give sufficient adjustment to a standard hammer spring or do you still need to change it. If so this still means you must purchase the extended butt plate if you are going to use the adjustable regulator.
@@uzumlubay Well you are quite right but I do not have influence of RTI sales policy... :) You are right about the velocities, I shoot at about 300 m/s with JSB monster redesigned and the results are extremely good.
@@gregorkamensek3923 What about the hammer spring??? RTI might need to know the first rule of marketing - you need to supply what the customer wants. I think that the majority of people would want to buy a "Match" version which would include adjustable regulator, extended butt plate and new long range barrel. Basically the same as you described as an Extreme Benchrest Rifle. They should have realised this and shown of this configuration at IWA this week.
Good luck at the EBR Gregor!. I seen a pic of you (side on) on Hardair mag web site, Thought it was you, then confirmed when your smiling face shone out on AoA day 2 video, hope you have time to network like crazy stateside.
Gretor, What the "L" happened to your hair. You sell it to wig makes for money to buy more AirGun's? LOL!!! Wondering about the twist rate on the new barrel. Fellow on GTA wants to know what twist rate to use the the .22 Huben cast bullet. Need to know. KnifeMaker
Hi. Yeah, it I sold all the pony tails I cut till now, maybe I could make some money :) Twist rate of the RTI custom barrel is not revealed yet and I cannot comment on that yet. For Huben cast bullet, regular airgun twist will do just fine as the slugs are not very long. My suggestion is somewhere between 1:16" and 1:18" They shoot very well in standard LW .22LR barrel and all airgun barrels form LW (regular, poly, choked or un-choked).
hello,before i buy one, i need your help, i want to shoot fast, cheap with lot shootcount... so i want to shoot jsb heavy at 320...330 ms at 100 meter. it is possible? and what configuration is the best for me ? barrel, and pressure? great thank for your video.
Hello Gregor , I now have the RTI Priest ( I ) and Iam very confused about the trigger ! Do you mean if the trigger left as it is on factory setting will fire alone ? Is the trigger of P One dangerous by itself ? I have read some accidents of the P one trigger Iam not sure whether it is the user 's mistake or factory setting problem ??! Iam leaving on the factory setting
No no, that is not what I meant. What I meant is that if you are trying to adjust the second stage trigger pull length to minimum (something that is desirable by target shooters), you will come to a point there the gun might fire on its own if it is bumped. Factory setting will be safe.
Gregor, the new Priest looks awesome. I am looking to buy a new gun and this one did attract my attention. I have a simple question... I am interested in 6.35 only. I prefer the Exact Kings Heavy 2.2 grams. I have come to realize that the best Diabolo pellet velocity is about 260-265 m/s. So here's the question: can I achieve this velocity with the 2.2 gram Heavies in .25 and get about 75-80 Joules out of this gun, by adjusting the externally adjustable reg to 145-150 bar and tweaking the hammer spring tension? I'll get the new butt pad too, of course. If this is possible, I am most certainly choosing this gun over the Impact Mk2. Thanks in advance for your kind assistance on this one.
Hi Gregor, will the but plate with adjustable hammer, the new reg that can be set from outside and the long range pellet barrel fit onto the previous Priest model? I own the previous model and its a fantastic gun. Hoping I can add these mods easily.
I have a question! Can I set the power to "low" for hunting mice in my barn without damaging things and then go to "high" to shoot pigeons from my rooftop at 40 meters? Please excuse me if my question is dumb ... I am new to this and really want to buy this gun!!
If there is absolutely no wind, then YES. With Monster redesign in RTI with custom pellet barrel and adjustable regulator and adjustable but plate, shooting at 295 m/s, you can get genuine sub MOA groups all the time. If there is even a slight wind, Huben will be more accurate as the slugs are not as sensitive... Slugs also loose way less velocity and hit much harder. But keep in mind that JSB are relatively cheap and you use less air.... So it is really up to you what you prefer. Also worth noting is that if you want the cast slugs to be accurate, you really mush have the know how and skills for casting to make the accurate enough.
Kingi bi morali biti OK, lahko pa probaš še z King Heavy. Preveri če ti delajo spirale... Možnosti so samo dve, ali so problem diabole (kvaliteta JSB zelo variira) ali pa je kaj z cevjo oz. z vstavljanjem diabole v cev (mogoče TP poškoduje diabole,...)
Hi I’ve put an adjustable regulator on my priest 2 set at 75 bar now it’s making a wheezing sound after every shot ?? Is it because the regulator filling up slowly.
The screw to adjust the length of pull of the first stage is on the trigger blade. It requires a 1.5 mm Allen key. You will need to remove the right side plate to hold forward the trigger rod to oppose the 1st stage spring. Then you just untighten the screw on the blade, position the blade to desired position and retighten it.
You cannot see it from outside (it is under the left cover plate), but the pellet probe actually rotated in the last part of the bolt travel forward and locks it. The way it is designed you can be confident that it withstands powers over 200 J. There is not force on the bolt upon firing the gun.
@Gregor Kamenšek hi, do you know when the optional extras (barrel, butt plate, rail, regulators)will be for sale and the price for each of them? also do you know if the new trigger will fit the Priest 1?
The priest II will fit Prophet but it is shorter (will not enclose the whole 60 cm Prophet barrel). Also, latest generation of RTI guns uses thicker wall shroud (external dimension is the same but internal is smaller - the threads are the same though) so you have to use the correct barrel spacer (the one it is threaded on the muzzle of the barrel) for it.
@@gregorkamensek3923 Thanks for the answer. Will it shoot lighter pellets accurately? The price of new JSB slugs is comparable to monster redesigned pellets. But, I suspect even at 1050 fps, the redesigned pellets will not as high BC as JSB knockout slugs?
@@muratmustafa4532 It will shoot light pellets very well, as long as we are talking about diablo pellets. This barrel does not force a lot of spin stabilization, so the pellets have to be drag / flare stabilized. Pellets in most cases have worse BC than slugs.
I have the gun its ok, but far from good. I hate magazine and location of it. I also dont like that cocking is on the left. The triger is far from good it is ok, I shoot match pistols and I shooted match rifles and this trigger doest come even close. But I like the gun even whit all those things that bother me. I am also proud that this is a slowenian air rifle. I hope they will produce also a gun that has classic look. I would definitely buy it. Good reveiw .

@@thomothompson1344This the the newest barrel from RTI. It is designed to be used both for slugs and pellets. This barrel requires the pellets to be shot at "normal speeds" (up to about 900 fps) to retain accuracy as it has relatively fast twist rate to be able to shoot slugs as well. It is also quite tight, again to be able to shoot slugs accurately...
@@gregorkamensek3923 thanks again. Just some advice if you don’t mind. I have the priest 2 standard with the fixed reg. I have the plenum installed. I like the fact that I do t have to tune but just wondering if I just add the adjustable butt pad would I be able to achieve anything? Or best to get both the adjustable reg and the but pad? Thanks a million
@@thomothompson1344 Well, if you are happy with operation and power you have now, then you don't need to change anything :) But if you do want to tune it, you will need both. You will not gain much with only the adjustable but pad. The only reason to get only adjustable but pad it if you are happy with power you have but only want to tweak the hammer to really fine tune accuracy and consistency. But these effects will be minor since the gun is already quite well pre-tuned. With it, you will be able to reduce the power as much as you like but if you decrease it significantly without reducing regulator pressure, the consistency might suffer. You will not be able to increase the power significantly, for that, you would need to increase the pressure as well.
Need a air rifle that is half the price that can challenge the FX range...Buying a FX to me is CHEATING..Only for the boys who have cash, little wankers group..
Cool vid.
Some info on priest 2 .30cal:
In performance version (500 cc bottle, external adj reg, extended stock and 22 cc plenum extension) measured with FX chrono:
- With 7.8 mm spring tension / 150 bar / 50,15 gr JSB, results in avg. over 5 shots 871 fps, with a high of 884 fps = 118 Joule.
- With 7.8 mm spring tension / 180 bar / 50.15 gr JSB, results in avg. over 5 shots 903 fps, with a high of 912 fps = 126 Joule.
And I think you can push it even further when you go to 200 bar on the adj. regulator and/or give it more spring tension.
Although RTI Arms says going beyond 180 doesn't give you more.

V2 will have the same performance as V1 in terms of accuracy. If you are talking about the add on - long range barrel, that will be soon.
. I ask the Allen bolt bolt of the priest 2 hp broke very little use 2 months because it is due?
Very nice, would be cool with a slug specific barrel.
Well, the stock barrel should shoot slugs pretty well, but I will seem more form my tests.
Good luck at the EBR Gregor!.
I seen a pic of you (side on) on Hardair mag web site, Thought it was you, then confirmed when your smiling face shone out on AoA day 2 video, hope you have time to network like crazy stateside.
Thanks:)
Gretor, What the "L" happened to your hair. You sell it to wig makes for money to buy more AirGun's?
LOL!!!
Wondering about the twist rate on the new barrel.
Fellow on GTA wants to know what twist rate to use the the .22 Huben cast bullet. Need to know.
KnifeMaker
Hi.
Yeah, it I sold all the pony tails I cut till now, maybe I could make some money :)
Twist rate of the RTI custom barrel is not revealed yet and I cannot comment on that yet.
For Huben cast bullet, regular airgun twist will do just fine as the slugs are not very long. My suggestion is somewhere between 1:16" and 1:18" They shoot very well in standard LW .22LR barrel and all airgun barrels form LW (regular, poly, choked or un-choked).
Where is your part 2?
I hope accuracy wasn't so bad he just skipped part 2. :-)
hello,before i buy one, i need your help, i want to shoot fast, cheap with lot shootcount... so i want to shoot jsb heavy at 320...330 ms at 100 meter. it is possible? and what configuration is the best for me ? barrel, and pressure? great thank for your video.
Hello Gregor , I now have the RTI Priest ( I ) and Iam very confused about the trigger ! Do you mean if the trigger left as it is on factory setting will fire alone ? Is the trigger of P One dangerous by itself ? I have read some accidents of the P one trigger Iam not sure whether it is the user 's mistake or factory setting problem ??! Iam leaving on the factory setting
No no, that is not what I meant. What I meant is that if you are trying to adjust the second stage trigger pull length to minimum (something that is desirable by target shooters), you will come to a point there the gun might fire on its own if it is bumped. Factory setting will be safe.
Gregor, the new Priest looks awesome. I am looking to buy a new gun and this one did attract my attention. I have a simple question... I am interested in 6.35 only. I prefer the Exact Kings Heavy 2.2 grams. I have come to realize that the best Diabolo pellet velocity is about 260-265 m/s. So here's the question: can I achieve this velocity with the 2.2 gram Heavies in .25 and get about 75-80 Joules out of this gun, by adjusting the externally adjustable reg to 145-150 bar and tweaking the hammer spring tension? I'll get the new butt pad too, of course. If this is possible, I am most certainly choosing this gun over the Impact Mk2. Thanks in advance for your kind assistance on this one.
Of course, it is possible to get even higher power with configuration you mentioned.
Hi Gregor, will the but plate with adjustable hammer, the new reg that can be set from outside and the long range pellet barrel fit onto the previous Priest model? I own the previous model and its a fantastic gun. Hoping I can add these mods easily.
YES!
Brilliant review thanks 🤟
I have a question! Can I set the power to "low" for hunting mice in my barn without damaging things and then go to "high" to shoot pigeons from my rooftop at 40 meters? Please excuse me if my question is dumb ... I am new to this and really want to buy this gun!!
Yes, you can if you have the adjustable hammer butt pad...
Is the new long range luthar walter 22 barrel a polygonal barrel?
So you meant that priest 2 with custom barrel with JSB redesign is better that huben V2 with slugs in long range? (over 100 mt)
If there is absolutely no wind, then YES. With Monster redesign in RTI with custom pellet barrel and adjustable regulator and adjustable but plate, shooting at 295 m/s, you can get genuine sub MOA groups all the time.
If there is even a slight wind, Huben will be more accurate as the slugs are not as sensitive...
Slugs also loose way less velocity and hit much harder.
But keep in mind that JSB are relatively cheap and you use less air.... So it is really up to you what you prefer. Also worth noting is that if you want the cast slugs to be accurate, you really mush have the know how and skills for casting to make the accurate enough.
Any idea when the priest regulator will be released and where is the best place to get the products you have shown 👍
From RTI perspective, it should be already available it is just a matter of retailers getting them. I would suggest you contact RTI or your retailer.
katere diabole priporočasš za cal. 25?
uporabljam jsb 25gr. in imam same flajerje. groza!
Kingi bi morali biti OK, lahko pa probaš še z King Heavy. Preveri če ti delajo spirale... Možnosti so samo dve, ali so problem diabole (kvaliteta JSB zelo variira) ali pa je kaj z cevjo oz. z vstavljanjem diabole v cev (mogoče TP poškoduje diabole,...)
Hi I’ve put an adjustable regulator on my priest 2 set at 75 bar now it’s making a wheezing sound after every shot ?? Is it because the regulator filling up slowly.
Probably... Two thing can make this sound; regulator or one way valve in the connection hose.
I had the fixed regulator at 125 bar and there was no sound ? So I assume it’s that what’s the lowest pressure you can set the regulator.
@@griffwyn2968Yeah, probably. I really did not test for such low pressures...
I would love to test one
Hi Gregor would this gun be any good for field target sub 12 lbs power (uk)
Regards Chris
I assume it would be but I have never tried it at that low power...
Hi my first stage of the trigger is long how do I shorten it please. Richard
The screw to adjust the length of pull of the first stage is on the trigger blade. It requires a 1.5 mm Allen key. You will need to remove the right side plate to hold forward the trigger rod to oppose the 1st stage spring. Then you just untighten the screw on the blade, position the blade to desired position and retighten it.
Gregor how the bolt keeps locked when you fire the gun? 5:00
As I could see there is no dent or visible locking mechanism
Thanks
You cannot see it from outside (it is under the left cover plate), but the pellet probe actually rotated in the last part of the bolt travel forward and locks it. The way it is designed you can be confident that it withstands powers over 200 J. There is not force on the bolt upon firing the gun.
Gregg, is the Priest 2 quieter than the original?
No. The shroud has remain unchanged.
@Gregor Kamenšek hi, do you know when the optional extras (barrel, butt plate, rail, regulators)will be for sale and the price for each of them? also do you know if the new trigger will fit the Priest 1?
Extras are already available for RTI, ask your retailer when they will get them in. The trigger form Priest 2 will not fit Priest 1.
@@gregorkamensek3923 cool thank you.
Dutch seller has them on website at €85, says available March/April
Hello Gregor ,
Can I use the shroud of Priest II on the Prophet Performance ?
The priest II will fit Prophet but it is shorter (will not enclose the whole 60 cm Prophet barrel). Also, latest generation of RTI guns uses thicker wall shroud (external dimension is the same but internal is smaller - the threads are the same though) so you have to use the correct barrel spacer (the one it is threaded on the muzzle of the barrel) for it.
I agree , the spacer was not the same .Thanks Gregor 👍
16:35 what is supersonic speed for a pcp with pellet ?
Anything above the speed of sound :)
Thanks for the review Gregor!
Will the custom barrel shoot FX hybrid slugs/pellets?
No. The custom barrel is specifically designed to shoot diablo pellets.
@@gregorkamensek3923 Thanks for the answer. Will it shoot lighter pellets accurately? The price of new JSB slugs is comparable to monster redesigned pellets. But, I suspect even at 1050 fps, the redesigned pellets will not as high BC as JSB knockout slugs?
@@muratmustafa4532 It will shoot light pellets very well, as long as we are talking about diablo pellets. This barrel does not force a lot of spin stabilization, so the pellets have to be drag / flare stabilized. Pellets in most cases have worse BC than slugs.
@@gregorkamensek3923 Thanks
I have the gun its ok, but far from good. I hate magazine and location of it. I also dont like that cocking is on the left. The triger is far from good it is ok, I shoot match pistols and I shooted match rifles and this trigger doest come even close. But I like the gun even whit all those things that bother me. I am also proud that this is a slowenian air rifle. I hope they will produce also a gun that has classic look. I would definitely buy it. Good reveiw .
brilliant,,,,thank you

Good day. How do you which barrel my priest 2?
You can check the rifling type and twist rate. Long range barrel is poly and has very slow twist rate.
@@gregorkamensek3923 thanks. I did a deep clean and on the barrel it say RPB-155
@@thomothompson1344This the the newest barrel from RTI. It is designed to be used both for slugs and pellets. This barrel requires the pellets to be shot at "normal speeds" (up to about 900 fps) to retain accuracy as it has relatively fast twist rate to be able to shoot slugs as well. It is also quite tight, again to be able to shoot slugs accurately...
@@gregorkamensek3923 thanks again. Just some advice if you don’t mind.
I have the priest 2 standard with the fixed reg. I have the plenum installed. I like the fact that I do t have to tune but just wondering if I just add the adjustable butt pad would I be able to achieve anything? Or best to get both the adjustable reg and the but pad?
Thanks a million
@@thomothompson1344 Well, if you are happy with operation and power you have now, then you don't need to change anything :) But if you do want to tune it, you will need both. You will not gain much with only the adjustable but pad. The only reason to get only adjustable but pad it if you are happy with power you have but only want to tweak the hammer to really fine tune accuracy and consistency. But these effects will be minor since the gun is already quite well pre-tuned. With it, you will be able to reduce the power as much as you like but if you decrease it significantly without reducing regulator pressure, the consistency might suffer. You will not be able to increase the power significantly, for that, you would need to increase the pressure as well.
can use slugs in this gun
Yes
Very impressive 👍.
trigger doesnt look good ........ I am sorry it is a joke
Need a air rifle that is half the price that can challenge the FX range...Buying a FX to me is CHEATING..Only for the boys who have cash, little wankers group..
