Walther Reign VS Walther RM8 - Which air rifle is better? 

Totally agree. If you get on with the gun and it makes holes in the right places, then it's all good! Thank you for taking the time to comment on our video. Take care!

Thank you Luke. Yes, it was a good day!

Yes - its a wonderful rifle! I have read some negative comments about it, but I don't think some people really know what they are talking about sometimes, they haven't actually owned the rifle! Yes, its a touch heavy, but it shoots really well! Thank you for the comment!

Gary. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on our video. We love your suggestions and will certainly look into this! Take care!

Have the reign in .177 myself i love it . Using jsb exact . Bagging lots of bushy tails .

Yep. 100 percent agree.... And a bigger magazine!

Bigger magazine for sure. Thanks for the reply. All the best

Then you will love it. The lightest gun I've used!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you for your constructive feedback. Yes, this was our first video.... Things have improved considerably since this one. Take care!

I believe you have the mk2? But it also sounds like you really like this version too. The "secret gun group" video on the channel was actually shot using the reign, using 7.3 grain jsb. At 40 meters too. I guess it's a little bit of luck sometimes? Every gun I've used occasionally has fliers. Thank you for taking the time to comment on the video.

@@southwestshooters I enjoyed the video, I'm just getting into pcp shooting. The gun I have is the reign utx, I guess they have some slight differences but overall the same I believe. I have only put about 50 shots through it with the jsb jumbo, I'm sure I'll get a flier pretty soon. It did not like the h@n or the Benjamin pellets at all. I had alot of fliers and inconsistent shots and groups with those other two pellets lol. The jumbo works beautifully though. But I'm shooting the 22 so I shouldn't compare the groups. That first gun in the video that was shot is definitely impressive.

Excellent suggestion regarding the pellets. We will give them a try in the future. Take care!

Will try to get one and see what we can do!

@@southwestshooters ok can't wait to see thanks for your reply

Dear Robert, thank you for your constructive comment. This was very early in our shooting journey. I am sure our more recent videos are a little better!

We totally agree! And yes, the RM8 is getting easier to use. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

Dear Sir. Thank you so much for your thoughts. You clearly have a good taste in guns! Although neither of us hunt, we did reason the reign would be perfect for those that do. Question : is the reign your favourite ever rifle?

Wow! That’s an impossible one. Over 70yrs I’ve had at least 9 different FAC air rifles. The one I liked least was a Weihrauch that was long enough to punt with and weighed more than a small car. It wasn’t exceptional in terms of power/accuracy or reliability and went back to the dealership more than once. AA supplied an FAC model that I liked, Daystate sorted me the most beautifully stocked Huntsman that was too pretty to use at the farms but they were all out shot by a BSA R10 tuned by John Bowkett. But I suppose my Mk1 Wildcat that I’ve had for a few years is the best all round FAC rifles I’ve owned. As for sub 12 springers then In terms of nostalgia the battered old early model Airsporter of my youth wins hands down even though it’s no match for current guns the best (most accurate) of which I found to be a 177 Walther Terrus. Precharged sub 12? I enjoyed the 2 BSA Ultras I’ve owned but in terms of sheer usability in the field the Reign + the Dreamline are hard to beat. All of the guns were bought new and many of them “ fettled” by the experts of the time. I’ve no idea how many I’ve owned and all of it is just personal opinion and experience and probably quite boring.

@@grahamedwards9920 that was the most wonderful comment. Wow. You have had some fantastic guns. So interesting to hear your stories, especially regarding the wild cat.... Thes look amazing rifles, especially the mk3....but it's also nice to hear how good the r10 is. Was the r10 an fac?

southwest shooters - yes, the R10 was a 177, bought new as an FAC, and then taken by me to John Bowkett for him to work his magic. He had been the chief designer/engineer or something like that at the BSA works in Birmingham. He’d told me I’d chosen the wrong calibre for FAC but the gun was deadly accurate if somewhat pellet fussy. The gun wasn’t as

Southwestshooters - the gun wasn’t as heavy as it looked but in the relentless search for the perfect gun I parted with it and bought the next new thing which may have been a Daystate Regal or was that the one before the R10?🤔😆. Anyway, enjoyed your video.

Alan, do you prefer the feel and handling of traditional rifles? I think there are bull pups that handle well. We have the hw100 bp to review soon, and I've used it extensively...its a fantastic rifle! I guess the reign might be a little too short? Still, would be good for hunting!

@@southwestshooters unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to try a bull pup yet, but obviously they must have their advantages. The hw100bp does look nice and having owned Weihrauch rifles, I'm on my second, I would expect them to be very good indeed.

@@alantippett7602 which model do you have?

@@southwestshooters I had a hw80 when they first came out in 1980, unfortunately I sold it 6 years later. When I returned to airgunning 3 years ago, I bought hw99 which I have tuned up to shoot more sweetly. This has been great in the lockdown as my divers bottle for my pcp is very low on air, and I have been able to carry on shooting at home. I'm going to a new gun club to have a look at their grounds next Saturday prior to them being able to resume shooting soon. They're just outside Truro in Cornwall.

@@alantippett7602 we don't really have much experience shooting springers, but this is something we want to do. Is it an indoor range?

Thank you.

It's an Optisan EVX. Hello Rafal from Poland! Lovely to hear from you.

Excellent question. Without a doubt, the RM8 and any scope you can get to begin with if you are looking for a pcp. Give Cliff at Okehampton Gun a call, tell him you found out about him through our videos and he will sort you out. He will be able to do a package deal. Take care!

@@southwestshooters thank you for the reply i'll be in touch with them soon, keep up the great videos

Hi Lee. Yes. A second hand Bsa Ultra. I love these guns and they are superb. Perhaps consider selling the rm8 for one? Other suggestions... Gamo gx40. Fx typhoon. Best of luck.

@@southwestshooters like bsa scorpion se , but gamo is a down grade . If had no budget, I'd get a fx maverick but thinks it a waste in sub 12ftlbs.

@@leenorris2862 I understand where you are coming from. I also remember the gx40 being very heavy too.... I'm not a fan of FX guns other than the mk3 impact, which looks cool. In terms of an upgrade I think you'd also like a hw100. Or a 110. Or the bull pup. Awesome guns.

@@lauraeeee like the hw110 carbine , but keep hearing it has power issues,

Good man.....the Varmint is a good gun. Please check out my latest video. I'm big too.... But the renegade is a fantastic bull pup.

@@southwestshooters i find im moving all over with a bullpup. No confidence with them at all. But down to preference

@@rogerparker9228 fair play! What's your favourite rifle then?

@@southwestshooters the r10. Biggest regret selling it. I do like a gun with some weight to it. Had a 100kt and struggled with that too. I think it was too light

@@rogerparker9228 excellent taste. Both wonderful, quality, guns. I've shot the r10 and liked it, but I've got lots of history with the hw100.... A super gun that I also miss sometimes! You must be a strong chap, I didn't find the hw100 light, not at all.

Yeah it's that easy NOT!!! In the uk

Good man!
