Hunting PCP... RM8?

[JakeFury 225]

Dear All,

Having seen some of the groups shot out of RM8s, am I to overlook the plastic trigger? Get a wooden one and crack on... 

Or what else can I get for the same price. 

I'll never get me springers down this quiet and I don't wanna scratch my S510 doh....theyve got me. . Jimmy won't be pleased... Mind you I'm having fun 

What dya reckon everyone.?

Get the rm8 and when you put it in the bin 

Remember I warned you

 

To be honest Jake the old one was a pain my friend feck me it was like walking about with two 97s at the same time 

But the new one is supposed to be very light 

And some very good reviews on it as well 

But if you get an old one 

You have been warned 

And I'll NOT LET YOU FORGET IT

Apart from the fact it's an ugly gun

I can't get over the plastic trigger mate. My finger will be repelled... All the shooting I've seen with it must be the new one. I dont wanna pay that much for a new one. 

Rather save up for a Pard or..... Err... Something else.. I've got my eye on another high mag scope and a Rowen Trigger for my Air Arms.

I will just expand my thoughts on the RM8 having owned one, please note 'OWNED'.

These guns are front end heavy with a 19'' barrel and steel air bottle,  with a scope and possibly nv fitted, they are a dead weight.  They are accurate but a great many including mine had reg issues, mine ran from 11.6 - 9.3fpe, I did contact Airtech to see what he could do, he said he had six on the bench with the same problems. Airtech were making new custom regs and the fix apart from the reg was to cut the barrel down (sorry I can't remember to what length) and fit a BSA R10 aluminium air bottle with a total cost of about £200 at that time some years ago so I sold it super fast and bought an HW100.   

They may be better than they used to be but I seriously doubt it.

One other point to thow into the pot, the importer, whose name I cannot recall, were as much use as a chocolate fireguard and suggested it was my fault I was having issues with the reg, over filling with air causing the problems so I guess all the owners whose guns were at Airtech, all over filled their guns.

They were probably right Phil about being your fault

Just 3 of my best Jake 

Every one as accurate as the next but the fx verminator 177

Is my go to rifle (bottom one) 

Simple it's nice and light and as you can see no strap fitted you can walk around all night as if you were carrying a pistol 

O and it shoots slugs like nothing iv have or had but then again it dose have a smooth twist barrel
