Today we take a look at the new Accura from Reximex to see if it can hold a candle to the amazing Pretensis. Well lets whack out some targets and find out! A massive thank you to Range Right for sponsoring this video.
Thanks Paul! I figured we'd get a sophisticated PCP out there before we reviewed the least sophisticated rifle on the planet, a .25 boinger! Honestly can't wait for that one.
Another great video my friend. These Reximex rifles are awesome rifles for the money and seem to be on a different level of fit and finish compared to other Turkish braands. Bought a Pretensis on the back of your review and it's my go to rifles that always puts a smile on my face.
Hi Stephen! They're excellent aren't they? They genuinely perform the same or outshoot the "big brands" I find and they're not that pellet fussy either. That stock too! I think Reximex owes it to us to make the Accura in a walnut stock.
Another EXCELLENT review Dan! I love your no holds barred approach but honest opinion without ever being negative. Always telling us your 'niggles'. That's what I (we) want to hear. I was torn between a 'traditional' style of rifle like the PRETENSIS and a 'tactical' version with the same qualities. This ACCURA has it with I great price tag too! Might add this to my collection.
Great video, good commentary - very professional! I replaced the fill port on my Kral Jumbo with a standard Foster connector. RR said "you can't", but Best Fittings said otherwise....
Hi Simon! That's a great quality of life improvement right there. It still stuns me that Reximex and Kral won't put proper sized probes on the rifles. Benjamin rifles are superb in this regard but the others don't seem to bother.. it's only a minor nuisance but I won't lie Simon it does annoy me.
Thanks Erik. Honestly bud I have no idea what's going on as the settings in our video editor haven't changed. Might be RU-vid just occasionally having a hissy fit.
Great review of the Accura and the one of the Pretensis,liked how you were fair in giving both the good and bad points, even down to the minor niggles like the gaping hole for the filler point and gauge,lets face it a minor niggle for one could be major pita for another . Could you please do a review of the Ixia when you get time.
The airgun that sounds "pong" and the airfun that sounds "ping"... reminds me The Monthy Python. Nice and interestng review for a nice riffle ! Thank you !
Sounds absolutely ideal Winnie. Was that Spitfire intercepting a Stuka do you reckon haha. Well I'll hopefully be filming the Hatsan .25 review later in this heat so pass me some of that cool apple juice if you please mate. 😁
Hi Dan, this gun looks a little like A Brocock Sniper. I am in the 6' realm too and went for an FX Crown FAC because the Brocock semi-bullpup's stock had a shorter length of pull. My FX Crown has a 700mm barrel and I run a 9" mod. on it. Yes it is long, but the longer barrel helps wi for longer air use, with the shrouded barrel and mod. all you hear is the action of the gun and the strike at the other end. I don't know if the longer barrel helps with accuracy, but I am able to put 10 Air Arms, Field , 18 grain through the same hole. I am also a fan of the Crossman premium 14 grain pellets. They are an underrated pellet with 10 shots well grouped, many through the same hole and under a 5p peice.
Hello mate! Great shooting and I agree with the Crosman's they're very underrated and well made usually with no damaged skirts. The Accura is very similar hopefully you could hear in the video there's very little muzzle report but just a "Ping" from the action.
I have to comment on the accuracy of this review. I bought a walnut accura with shortened barrel when they literally hit the shops unannounced, it was in front of me and i couldnt resist. Smoothness of action, totally agree, smoothest rifle I have for this function. Ive since rewatched this review of the larger pool cue version and cannot fault Dans focus points. Handling is slightly easier with the shorter version, adjustments dont exist with length of pull, so maybe not suited to a big Dan frame, but 2 stage realistic single stage is bang on point, and again bang on point to the fact that i as a hunter really like it ! Spitfire in my Lyra where great, but terrible in the Accura same as RWS Hobby, however once the barrel leaded in Hobby are damn decent and Spitfire are as good as AA Diablo, this is after more than 1000 shots however. Trust Big Dan, he tells the truth in reviews, and also fit a Hugget Snipe, its almost silent ! Accuracy is incredible on my 70m plinking range
I got the shorter barrel walnut accura, A-tec wave silencer, Beautiful gun, Bit low on power out of the box but a bit of research and that's sorted, Mine's sweet spot is about 170-110 Bar, I adjusted the trigger and got a decent first stage and a light short brake, Lovely gun for the price.
Definitely wouldn't be able to hold most Hatsan rifles in one hand Dan! Can never understand why they make them sooo bloody heavy? Again very professional video Dan, keep em coming. 😎👍
This rifle looks and performs amazingly and I would have bought it without question if that gap had a cover . Pretensis it is for me although the shot per fill on this beast is great.
In airgun sniper elites new vid he slows off the laminate Pretensis, man what a looker that is, I gotta get 1 in future (the camo Ixia looked great too)
They're absolutely beautiful aren't they? Lucky devil! I tried getting my mitts on a few but they were all sold out as soon as they came in. They're definitely lookers though to be sure!
@@bigdansairguns83 only minor gripe I had with them was the high gloss finish, I reckon I'd have to sand and put a satin coat or maybe even matte coat on it, my Regime comes on Tuesday, only thing I'm bit worried about is I love trigger on my HW99S and HW100 so I hope I can at least get it touch closer to that
@@Zillawill I'm going to be a right stick in the mud now but I actually (from what I've seen) really like the gloss finish. Off memory the Regime has a nice trigger and like the Pretensis has a very light second stage. You may end up surprised.
Cheers Dan great review as usual. Just purchased this rifle and looking forward to getting it down the range and getting down to some target work. Please keep up the great work and honest reviews. 👍👍👍👍
@@bigdansairguns83 Thanks Dan really looking forward to getting out on the range Sunday with it. I also own a Falcon FN19 which i picked up for next to nothing. I would love to hear your opinion on it if you wouldn't mind. All the best and kind regards Peter.
Great review Dan, not my cup a tea, bit in the heavy side, but having said that, i do think you would get a lot of gun for the price point, and i would think if you asked the more well known brands out there to make a rifle as good as that for that price, they wouldn't know where to start mate lol Cheers 😁😁👍👍👌👍
The holes that are going to the right is down to the quality of the card stock, all card has a little grain that you cannot see, if you shot the back of the offending target, you would possibly see the holes tearing to the left. I have noticed with these targets, every group seems a little raggier than it should, possibly try a heavier gsm? Great video by the way.
Hi Tony! Yeah it was just a little odd and a shame as it makes the groups look bigger than they actually are. We've got a .25 Hatsan to try next... the card might look a little colourful then!!
Sorry for another comment. I've seen a few UK dudes port mod and add regulators to other rifles to make it more consistent and right up at 11.8 ft lbs . Do you think it's possible to do it to these ? Id love mine to be 11.8 consistent
Hey Air rifle bunnie! I'd be careful at 11.8.. depending on pellets that'll be hot. I believe these can be regulated the best thing to do is check Robert Lane's website as those are the ones I'd recommend.
Hi dan, I just got an accura walnut, the crono print out it came with said they used jsp exact diabolo 5.51 15.98gr and it was around 11.5 ftlbs, I ran it over the crono and it saw max 10.1 ftlb on excite hammers 14.66gr and max 10.8 ft lbs on cheap marksman 22 13.96gr, So im guessing it would probably show more on the heavier JSB pellets, in your opinion is this underpowered or a good safe tune? Ive ordered the jsb they used for their test so i can see if the print out is hot air lol, thanks.
Hey Coaldust! Try the JSB's, heavier pellets tend to give more power in PCP's and the JSB's will have softer skirts than the H&N's and Marksman pellets. If Marksman gave 10.8 I'd say it'd be a safe bet that JSB will be 11+ft-lbs all day long.
@@bigdansairguns83Thanks Dan, With a bit of research i voided my warranty so all is good now lol. Set it at 11.5 in the sweet spot 170-110 bar, Really good having the large tank on an unregulated gun because you get loads of shots in it's sweet spot, Happy days, Keep up the great work buddy, Really enjoy your videos.
My Ultra SE loves both RWS Superfield and AA Field. The weights are exactly the same but out of my Ultra SE the RWS produce 10.3 ftlb whereas the AA produce 11.3ftlb. Exactly 1ftlb more energy from the AA Field which struck a chord after you comment about their thick skirts. Mystery solved. Mind you they are both blindingly accurate but the RWS are far cheaper. 😉
Exactly Steven. At the end of the day the difference is only around 25fps which is minimal when you're travelling at around 750fps anyways. Accuracy over power every day.
I'm going to have to add the new Wasps .177 in the red tins to my list of superb pellets. I decided to try them again after ditching them a long time ago as very inconsistent after the original Ely Wasps. These new ones are absolute tack drivers in all four of my .177 rifles, two Ultras (unregulated), Gunpower Shadow 2 (regulated) and a AR2079A HPA (regulated). Thanks for the recommendation, you are spot on and these are cheap. Next to try are .22 Wasps.
Hey Clanger! The cap around the bottle acts as a barrel band but it's easily removed but simply slacking off two grub screws either side of the band. With this done it should slide straight off.
@@clangerbasher I agree 100% clanger. To be fair barrel harmonics do make a difference but most of the time from my experience a free floating barrel is barely if any more accurate than with a band... but it does have the disadvantage that the barrel can easily lose zero.
I would love to see the internals of this brand I currently have a Kral jumbo, it seems these might be a little more refined. I just don't want to buy a Kral by another name, not to say I dislike my Kral.
Hi Jim! I can ask my suppliers if they'd approve of me doing a stripdown video. To my knowledge the internals are a bit different to the Krals but if I can get something on camera I will if it helps.
@@bigdansairguns83 oh my God that would be awesome, unfortunately we don't have any suppliers in my area. I would have to drive 600 miles to see a air rifle like that, so anything I buy is online. It makes it very hard to make a educated purchase.
@@jimstewart5008 Hi Jim! I've spoken to my suppliers matey and although they're semi-okay with me doing a strip down video it might be a bit half baked due to the anti-tamper plugs and they won't approve of me showing how to remove them for obvious reasons I'm afraid. If you'd like to contact me via the contact us section of the website I'll ping you some pictures through if it helps of the internals.
Well i bought the same rifle at full power (49j) and everything was perfect until the day i went to the range to shoot.The safety was NOT working.Rifle fires at safe and at fire. Now i have to send it back for repairs :( .The screw on the charging lever wasn't fully screwed and the action was not smooth but i fixed it . And last the rifle wasn't lubed at all . Just a little bit on the pellet probe .I lubed it and the action became pure buutter.The rifle is accurate with pellets and slugs and when the problem with the safety is fixed i think everything will be fine with the rifle. PLESE !!! if you are planning to buy Reximex Accura or Daystar (Pretenses UK market) check if the safety works before buying!!!!!
@Air Rifle Bunnie Sadly I had to sell it. I didn't disassemble completely the rifle when it was mine. I have only removed the stock for the adjustment of the trigger.
Hey Gie! I didn't I'm afraid. In the UK our power restrictions are 12ft-lbs which would probably be a bit low for 100m. Thanks Gie and I'm sorry I couldn't test at a greater range.
This is terrible , Your tempting Me with PCPs and I'm almost sold , it's just so damn accurate especially for the money and the fact that it's not pellet fussy . Must resist , Pumping it up with a hand pump would be painful and back breaking , adding a refill tank is expensive . No Resist Resist , Springers are where it's really at , a pocket full of pellets and off We go nothing more needed . Thanks Dan , particularly looking forward to the next one now I know what it's going to be . Shoot Straight Stay Safe & Stay Well .
While I love my HW99S a PCP like this 1 is literally just same for going out shooting with how many shots it does, except instead of pellets you carry loaded mags
@@Zillawill Agreed, the PCPs have appeal , but the few I've tried left Me feeling dead , the challenge was not the same , and small as it is with a springer I missed the recoil . A PCP would make Me lazy , but for quick follow ups on the next Grey menace a PCP is probably a more effective tool .And the Reximex looks like a bargain for what's on offer .
@@richarddixon7276 to be fair all the Reximex guns seem great value, I've got a regime coming on Tuesday, and probably will own a Pretensis or Ixia at end of year assuming all goes well, but I do agree somewhat with what you said, you really can't beat a Springer sometimes, I know I want a 97K or left handed tx200 as my next one, but both have there ups and downs
@@Zillawill I really fancy an AA Prosport ,but I could get a Gamo GX40 Kit complete with pump and probably still have change for a Swarm as well if I shopped around for deals . Times are tough at the moment so it's not on the cards any time soon but I can still dream .
@@richarddixon7276 I have a GX40, was first pcp I bought when I returned to hobby, the action and barrel are top notch far as BSA goes, but the trigger, holy hell is it horrible even after screw mod, honestly at its price point I'd rather get a Kral or spend bit more and get a reximex or good used gun
