Walther Rotex RM8 Review 4K 

Anyone else got one of these?

I've just recently purchased a 177 version and must say its one of the best pcp rifle I've shot I highly rated these and there a fair price gun for what you get

Excellent review. As someone with hearing impairment I struggled to separate your voice from the guitar background music towards the start of video. Really enjoyed your review one of the best on RU-vid. I’m quite a clumsy person and worried if I get the polymer stock I could break it. So hoping they do the wood stock also on the UC. Returning to the hobby since the mid eighties, there appears to have been an exponential growth in technology. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.

I bought this gun (in .22) just a couple of weeks ago from my local gunsmiths and have joined a gun club not too far from where i live. Yes the auto safety is a tad bit silly but it's not really a big issue for me. This is my first air rifle i've bought after soooooooooooooooooooo many years without even shooting. My RM8 was listed/being sold as "Secondhand" by the gunsmiths so i got it just that little bit cheaper. It even came with a quality "Hawke" scope and i've since added a bipod on the underside rail. At the gun club i shoot at i'm hitting groupings of 6-8 shots the size of a 5p coin at 30-35 yards (but i do need an updated eye test for stronger glasses lol). I can not fault this gun at all and love that on a full charge it'll quite happily fire upto around 180 shots. Only niggles for me is it's a little heavy in weight, the silly auto safety catch and the cocking handle on mine has worked loose twice now (I got the guys at the gunsmiths to sort this out) but so far i'm extremely happy with my RM8. UPDATE------- Had to return the .22 RM8 back to the gun smiths yesterday due to the bolt handle problem. The gun was exchanged for the .177 calibur with the longer barrel.

Thank you realy good and imformative review i bought a second hand one this afternoon abs good scope bipod hard case 2 mags pellets etc chap said he shot about 4 mags and the safety done his head in 300 english pounds oh and a stirup pumb it will make a nice backup to the r10 regards liam

Great review mate👌

Good review thank you!

I've a .177 Varmint that I bought 2nd hand in 2019 c/w scope and 3 litre diver's tank for a good price. Rifle was about 1yr old and hadn't been used much. It's a great workhorse and accurate too. I had an 'o' ring fail in the regulator after I'd had it about a year. Rebuilt the reg. myself since when it's been good as gold. I also have the Walther Reign. A lot more money. I enjoy this one too but it has been the more troublesome.

I just bought this love it so accurate

I've had one of these for a couple of years now & I prefer it over my Weihrauch for shooting rats. It is unerringly accurate & joy to use. I have a .177 version which is deadly over 35yds (as far as I need) using H&N Barracuda Extreme pellets, which after testing several brands, I found to be the most consistent.

That's a good review not chit chat 👍 executed clean very easy to follow .

I have an FX Crown in .22 FAC when I bought the RM8 in .177 for my Grandson to shoot on the range, fitted a reasonable scope, I was amazed on seeing his groups, at 35 yards it was on a par with the FX a ragged one hole group, unbelievable at that price (£426 I paid new) he's only very slightly better with the FX with a top quality scope, if you haven't bought one but you're in the market you can't do better at this price or even a couple of hundred more.

good review!

As the regulator is set to 140 bar in uk for the uc must be the short barrel so they turn the regulator up and lose the high shot count could of opened the transfer port up instead and keep the highest shot count but never mind 80 shots is good for hunting

I have the same it's the most accurate rifle I've owned in 48 years.

I have the wood stock version. Love it.

It's waiting me toto grab here tomorrow I can't wait

Good luck with the channel. In my opinion, background music is very annoying. ATB MMMD

Did you chronograph this rifle? Thanks.

Hello and good morning . This rifle is on my shortlist for a second PCP . I already own a hw100 kt but would like another cheaper rifle that doesnt mind getting wet /or knocked whilst out in the field . Did you happen to chronograph your test gun as some comments on forums say it can be rather low on power ( 10.5 max ) Kind regards 👍

What distance was the target shot over?

That safety after each reload is a pain in the arse.

Will a handpump charge up the 200cc buddy bottle air tank fitted to the walther rm8 sub 12 ft lb ?

Which rifle would you rate best, the Kral NP02 or the Walther RM8

Would help if you turn the music off

Can you get to the hammer spring easily?

Could you rate the Gamo Phox/GX40 please?

You get 80 full power shots with the uc

that dam auto safety , i notice it got you every shot ,i removed mine ,just a small metal clip inside ,but a good gun ,based on the umarex air magnum 850

Incorrect, I have an fac version in .22 & it’s turning out 22ftlb

Como fasso pra conseguir uma dessas

So it’s a compact RM8?

How to order pls.

WHY THE 'MUSIC'??

enjoyed the review but ffs whoever thought to add the music needs to be punished lol

great gun BUT wood stock always :D

turn the annoying music off

That music beat me, sorry.

No

To be honest after the way the Germans were towards us over brexit I will never give them my money against
