Good (frosty) morning all, from Dublin.
A smattering of snow yesterday, didn't amount to anything.
Another great review Andy.
Hello Andy, I have one of these in walnut stock and it shoots beautifully. I've now started using it loaded with JSB Knock out slugs of 10.03 grains and it just loves them out at 40 yards plus. The one thing I have found wrong with it though was that the holes in the sling studs fitted are too small for my sling to fit through, not a problem that a careful drill bit can't solve. Love your reviews as always and look forward to the next ones.
Good morning Everybody and our HOST ANDY , very icey today . Have a fantastic day
Goodmorning!
Good morning Simon! Have a fab day!

Yet another great review Andy, thank you

Hi Andy I bought one of these not long after viewing another great detailed review thank you
nice to see u doing some reximex reviews great videos
Great review Andy .... May well look closer at this.
I would like it if you could do a shot count on your reviews as some of the unregulated guns have power curves with a sweet spot in the middle.i know this would take time to complete but it would make a more comprehensive review... interesting nevertheless 👍
i have the ixia, amazing rifle, regulated, with a pre chamber.. love you to look at one with your more professional eye
Very nice review Andy. Superb rifle and great shooting brother! 😊
Weekend talk with Andy.👍
Been waiting patiently on this one Andy, nice 1 👍 I have the FAC unregulated version in synthetic and its a beast shooting @ 42ftlbs although at full poer im only getting about 18 shots with the 260cc tube. However the power adjustment means i can extend that shot count, nice to have that option. Sticking it to the big boys at the range with rifles 2 and 3 times the price and looks good doing it.
Morning Andy, Reximex pretensis looks a very comprehensive rifle. The multi fit scope, stock adjustment and also the weaver rail supplied in the box are excellent standard features.
Safety catch perhaps wants a slight modification.
Overall looks excellent value for money and I’d happily own one.
You can and I have done paid a lot more for a rifle with a lot less choice and standard extras from top end manufacturers.
👍 like it .
it's incredible how I had never heard of this brand and immediately after discovering it I come to TH-cam and find this freshly published video.
Morning from Cornwall Andy .
Vector air a great shop…. Lovley people to deal with
These are great value. I had one and loved it.
Had? So liked it enough not to keep?
Regards
@@russellham2094 traded in for a HW100T which is a notable step up in all areas.
Thanks very much for this review. I managed to pick a new one of these in walnut .177 last year for £300 as unfortunately my local gun shop was having a closing down sale. I've popped a hawke airmax 4-16x44 and a kral silencer.
I've only put a couple of magazines through it as unfortunately it's a year or two early for me as I don't have the time or energy to use it right now as I'm renovating a rather tricky bungalow, but it's comforting to know it has a thumbs up and for the money I paid for it...... well worth it.
Another good review
You're great sir ❤
Grear rifle, thanks for the in depth review...but i also like the Reximex Myth too..... decisions decisions!!!
Have one in Blue lam, love it, likes the bisley magnums and zan 13gr slugs
Ive got one of these in walnut. Beatiful rifle.
What slugs do you use? I've just got one but was given cheap slugs
It actually loves domed spitfires. Watch big dans air guns video. Hes not wrong.
Very Nice.
Greeting from Poland
Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
Andy, great review even though it looked like Vector Air were hanging about waiting for you to finish the test shots. Seems a good value bit of kit with a couple of minor flaws; very tempting though!
The side lever & gauge sticks out further than the safety button so i don't think it's likely to be accidentally pressed in laying it down, you'd scratch the gauge glass anyway & if your right handed it's more natural to pick it up if it's led on the left than the right.
Good revieuw Andy. This rifle seems to a rebranded Krall Arms Puncher (same receiver block, same rail system, same trigger config, all but the name on the stock). If the quality is still the same as when i bought my Krall's, you can expect an accuracy just a tiny hair's breath away from 10m competition rifles. These are truly great rifles for a very modest price. Put on a decent scope and find the sort of pellet/slugg it realy loves (it likes many sorts of pellets for decent accuracy, but only a few give truly amazing accuracy) and enjoy shooting.
Just bought the orange laminate version, it needs a final finish with some 3000 grit. It shoots beautifully though
Nice vid Andy. If you still have the gun can you check the power on second and third highest settings. My kral np02 was a bit more powerful on it's second highest setting.
Yes good gun good value i like the polymer stock its different
Love to finally see this one on your channel Andy, even if I'm not shopping for a new rifle I always check your videos out for entertainment value and knowledge! I've had my walnut Pretensis for a few months now and it is superb. I've had fantastic accuracy out up to 100m with mine on the range and pellet on pellet at 20m. Mines in .22 and i get maybe around 280 shots or so before a refill (this is at 250 bar fill,). I use the low power mode in the garden at 10m, I could shoot all day with the saved air. The only issue I've had is that it seems to dislike various silencers unless i add a washer before i screw it on, no idea why though. But other than that it's a superb rifle.
I enjoyed reading your comment so thank you. I am getting mine this Saturday (177) and it is my first air rifle . If you have any tips I'd be very grateful as I have heard the mag takes a lil finessing.
@@pauljohnson9326Once you load the magazine a few times you get used to it, it's a little confusing at first though. Hope you're enjoying it!
And I got this at the same time as the mito with silencer kit, both in .22 so now I don't have to lust after another gun, well not just yet hey Andy, until the next one 😂
Reminds me of my LYRA very similar in design.
Seems like a really nice gun. If only I had a bigger garden and the money for a compressor. Great review.
The hand pump no good ?
@@Dallco83 sadly not. I'm 60 and have health issues. I think I would expire before I had the chance to shoot it.😂
Nice gun Andy, my only concern is that the pressure gage does stand a bit proud off the stock and so becomes very vulnerable to knocks. Shame it couldnt be flush fitting . Whats your views mate?
Hi Andy, love your vids every week! Just out of interest, what shooting table do you use? Thank you
I'm also interested in the table
I recently picked up a Reximex Lyra which is a Benjamin cayden in a new frock and what a rifle it is, to me nicer looking than the pretensis with the same trigger, barrel and cylinder and after a barrel polish it single holes and I won the walnut lottery……and £365 what a bargain.
I've recommended that to a friend based on what I've heard from people who have one.
THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT HONEST REVIEW ANDREW 🇬🇧👍🏼
Andy , love the reviews, spot on and very informative. Any chance you could do one on the reximex Lyra? Yes , I know other people have already done one, but somehow I seem to trust your reviews a little bit more! Many thanks
It’s planned 👍
Fantastic! Keep up the great work!
Looking forward to seeing what you think of the Lyra. I picked one up in .177, and after tightening the barrel band and removing my silencer (which it hated) , it was absolutely stacking BSA goldstars! Can't wait to see what you think of it. Love the reviews, the best out there, also I love your merchandise, now have a fleece and a jacket. Top notch!!!
Great! Just got mine today. Just quickly tested, yes indeed very loud! Detune is a joke 😂!
Perhaps when you get some snow, you could do the modern pentathlon around the paddock 😅 ⛷️
Goodmorning friends, have a nice weekend!
Impressive silencer which one is it
Will you be doing aa review of the Edgar Brothers XV2?
Hi Andy mite you look at kral puncher empire X range at some time in the future
Hi Andy. As always I enjoyed your review and as you can see I am subscribed and have been for quite some time. It is such a pity that you focus so much on sub 12 ft/lb air guns, for obvious reasons. There is a huge potential audience out there, and I am one of them, that is not restricted to nanny state rules. 😊
It really does look a nice rifle, but personally I’d prefer it to be shorter in length even if it resulted in losing the shot count by a third but that’s just my preference as I like a shorter rifle.
Do you think it would be possible to use a manual pump to fill it up in the field? Ps another great review 👍
Yes. Its a standard Foster fitting. No probe needed. After a few fills with a pump (and subsequent recovery period) you'll decide to get a bottle. 😀
You certainly get a lot for your money with these new Turkish air rifles without compromise on accuracy and quality. I'd be interested to see your review of the Pretensis' baby sister, the Lyra.😁
Maybe you get a wood stock in another branch of the Multiverse, and in another branch a fully automatic version!
The shop would be even better if you could try out different guns ,scopes and silencers having been 👍
I've had mine in .177 Walnut for a while now and it remains consistent in accuracy. The mags can be problematic and can drop pellets into the chamber behind the mag depending on calibre and fit in the mag (Aftermarket mags help stop this). Mine loves the cheap Spitfire Domes with 5p group at 40m
40m outdoor?
Hello, what material of the air cylinder ?
How is it compared to Remington T Rex ?
Seen the original pretensis reviewed on big dans airguns ,looked to good to be true, and it wasn’t pellet fussy,in fact it performed better with cheap pellets (spitfire) than most of the usual preferred ones (I.e, jsb ,daystate and aa to name a few)
Hi, I bought that same gun from big dans and it is BRILLIANT. I put a 4-9x40 ir scope on it plus silencer and it has performed faultlessly since. Just a dream to shoot and puts pellet on pellet out at 40 yards. Great gun at a really good price.
Yeah I watched that review. That gave me the reason to buy one...and yes it loves the round spitfires. Happy days.
Hi Andy. great video as usual. Just to let you know I did not get a notification today, I always make sure I like your videos, it did come up in the home page though. This is strange as many of the notifications I do get I do not watch let alone like. TH-cam being racist to Air gunners again.
Nice gun but the safety is a let down unfortunately. You should review the reximex myth I'm sure lots would be interested in that content.
Pretty sure they both use the same uprated mito pistol block , I have a .22 with a 10x50 mtc swat prismatic scope it groups a treat and you can't miss
@@markT2500 that I would have no idea about I'm new to air rifles but got a rotex rm8 which is amazing thus far.
I've got a rm8 too another decent rifle for not a lot of money
Hi Andy what & where can I get a bipod like youvuse on the show .also is there a name for them? Thx
All the details are in the drop down below the video as always. stay safe. Andy
Pretty much a half price AA S510👍
Lightweight to me means under 6 pounds, or better under 5 pounds before being scoped etc, Like PR900s , Pathfinders, Rangers, Leshiys, Elements etc.
Very nice and reasonably priced would love to see a carbine version 👍
Beautiful gun, I wish you could test the regulated version, which to my view these days should be the standard. Good presentation though.
What is regulated vs unregulated please ?
@@Dallco83 In a regulated air gun the air storage chamber has a regulator fitted so that the air pressure delivered to the breech is the same for each shot throughout each air fill. An unregulated gun does not have the regulator fitted so pressure and power will drop eventually. You will have to shoot pellets from a full fill and keep shooting until you notice them starting to drop. Once you know how many accurate shots are between full fill and starting to drop, then you know when to refill the air.
@@Dallco83 You can buy after-market regulators that you can have fitted. I believe Lane's do one for the Pretensis. As long as you know the unregulated power curve its not a major issue but it would be nice if it came with one.
is't cal. .22?
How do we get it in India?
I've had mine in 177 walnut 12ftlb for a year now. Shoots superbly. Even out at 50 yards at the range I am getting respectable groupings. Definitely all within the inch kill shot so can be confidently used for hunting at that range. A gripe is the rather flimsy magazines. Compare to the chonky Kral mags which are produced in the same factory and there is no excuse for that. I don't use the horrible single shot tray. Its not easy to use so I don't bother with it. Also the plastic under rail seems to be an afterthought with the single screw fitting. I fitted another screw to stop it spinning. The barrel band is flimsy. I snapped mine giving it a gentle tweak with the Allen key. Could be beefed up a bit by Reximex, as that would be a disaster on a day out, but the importer supplied a replacement and a spare at no cost so that's good news. I would recommend folks get a spare barrel band to have on standby just in case. I contacted Reximex directly with these suggestions and had some nice correspondence with them. Now, I also take my Air Arms S400-MPR-FT 177 along with me to the range. I, personally, have noticed that the functionality of both seems heavily influenced by temperature, hence the two guns. The AA preferring warmer and the Pretensis preferring colder. Might be just me but that is what I've found. On colder days the otherwise accurate AA is shooting like a dog, the Pretensis is pretty much pellet on pellet, and vice versa. Having tried loads of 177 pellets its the JSB 4.53 Exact that get the best results. In both guns. Very close behind are the QYS ones I tried.
Andy, as a suggestion for one of your episodes that I haven't seen any other channels exploring could you test a few rifles and pellet types at different temperatures to see how that factor affects performance between brands/models? It might just be something that would be useful to know. It would certainly make for an interesting experiment and might influence people's purchasing decisions.
For the money I would definitely recommend this (under £600!) and I much prefer it to my £1,000 FX Dreamline. There's no plastic (other than the stupid under rail) and its a solid, quality bit of kit. The machining and build quality gives me a sense of confidence. The trigger is fully adjustable and predictable and feels good. The dual scope mount is an excellent feature. The walnut stock is exquisite and pleases me whenever I take it out the case. Its a handsome rifle! Yes, its got a bit of a bang but not a problem range shooting but would need a silencer out in the field. The side mount air gauge should be standard on all rifles! I'm a big lad and I like the feel and weight of it and am comfortable shooting from the shoulder with a sling for respectable results. Not as comfortable as the AA from the shoulder obviously but better than the FX Dreamline. If I was out rabbiting this would be my goto PCP. Just replace the well made metal air stripper with a silencer.
One point to note that after a couple of tins of pellets new it was shooting hot at just under 14ftlbs on a fill but it settled down eventually to 11.7ftlbs. The power adjuster came in handy there. I believe Lane's offer an after-market regulator for the Pretensis but to be fair I get 4 or 5 mags out of it without any noticeable pressure drop or loss in accuracy so I'll leave well enough alone.
Hope this is useful feedback?
I'm pretty sure you bought some 3d printed magazines right? yes the original ones are terrible. However the rifle itself is very good :)
@@RomanLT I've heard the printed ones are better. 👍
Morning all🎉
Goodmorning!
Oh btw what is that table you use to shoot targets ?
He doesn't, he uses air rifles...
@@benballard-ho7tu lmao , thanks for pointing that out .
Having this delivered tommorrow unregulated in walnut, been looking out for your review on it as i do like your channel & your advice is very helpful, regulated or not i still don't know if i've made the right decision? O'rings to wear out & replace in time on the regulated? regulator creep? regulator taking up more air tank space? Those are the reasons that put me off choosing a regulated.
I've had an unregulated version in 177 with walnut stock since May this year. Put around 1500-2000 pellets through it so far, its pretty much pellet on pellet with JSBs out to 35 yds. Even without the reg, mine is very consistent shot to shot for the first 80-100 or so from a full charge. I don't think you'll be disappointed with yours!
@@getshifty Thank you that's good to hear, you've made me feel a lot better with my choice, mine will also be a 177 too.
I subscribed his channel because I'm very interested in airsoft guns nowadays. But his British accents are really, really precise and calm that it makes me think I can learn British accents with his videos, makes me buy an airsoft Webley revolver lol
Good morning all from a cruise ship on the Rhine
Sounds wonderful. Have a great time. 👍
Nice, enjoy
Enjoy the cruise.
Thanks all
Getting bored of seeing all the new guns coming out with side levers wouldn’t mind seeing some bolt actions come out again
use air stripper for better accuracy not silencer lol. silencer kills accuracy
As far as me, this is THE underdog. Just one that shines it´s effin crazy. What´s more (you 12fpe crowd look the other way now) it is by FAR the easiest PCP out there to soup up.
Getting 140J out of a 25 cal is done at the drop of a hat and yes.. still as accurate.

Thank you Andy, I was wondering if you were a member of the CCP, finally something NOT CHINESE, there are loads of guns made in Turkey and its nice to see a reveiw of one, can we see more?.
Thank you.
CCP! no, MRLP I’m taking over from screaming Lord Sutch.
