Ah. Thank you! Means a lot!!! I’ve learnt from this review that I just got to give the rifle more options if pellets. This was actually the first .177 I shot. It’s a beautiful rifle. Just had a nightmare

A barrel clean often helps Turkish rifles but those pointy pellets I wouldn't bother with. The one I had like JSB 8.44, h&N 8 and QYS but as mentioned before I swapped it in for a hw100.

Good review, try QYS or Baracuda 8 pellets and you should get very tight groups! I get about 15mm groups at 25mts.

Thanks for the tip

I am surprised the shop gave you pointed pellets for the test. Diabolo are much more accurate. Like all Turkish barrels, they need a good barrel clean to get the best out of them. Apart from pointed pellets, the Reximex barrels aren't to pellet fussy. If using H&N FTT, H&N Baracuda 8, H&N Baracuda Match, or JSB pellets, this rifle can shoot as well as Air Arms or any top end rifle. Change the pellet and see the difference. When you get your next Turkish rifle, or any other rifle, clean the barrel first, and after 30 shots of leading in, watch the groups tighten. Stay clear of pointed pellets. H&N Terminator, H&N Hunter, and JSB Preditor Pollymag, I have found, seem to be the only non diabolo pellets that group well on a regular basis. Thanks for a great new Airgun channel to the airgun scene on KZread, which is very well produced as usual.

Ah. Thank you! 🙏

As manny have said the barrel needs cleaning as they are heavily lined with anti corrosive oils. Mine took 15 patches of pull through and its bang on pellet in pellet with qys streamlined 8.48 4.5 pellets and H&N ftt.

Absolutely. My kral needed the same and is bang on. I think I came away from this feeling like it just wasn’t the one for me. Great gun if you want one. But strengthening my ethos if go feel them in store if you can! 👌 cheers!!

I have a pretensis and have had no accuracy problems - it is not pellet fussy buy really loves JSB heavy 10.34 grain, pellet on pellet. Also qys both types group very well

My Lyra is spot on until a silencer is on, try it without

Found most Turkish guns love a heavy pellet

Nice looking rifle could you do review on reximex Lyra

Yeah, needed something other than pointed pellets, which I've never seen shoot good out of any gun. The rest of your review was good, if you were keeping it, I'd suggest slightly loosening the stock from receiver as all the DAR based Turkish guns (DAR, JTS Airacuda, Reximex, etc.) have a known issue with pinching mags. Amongst other issues. Not the best $500ish dollar gun out of the box, but if you're handy, and like the idea of a 1/3 to half priced HW100 look alike...

Yup. Agree there. Love JSB. Apparently QYS are good.

Why on earth would you ‘review’ a gun & use pointed pellets for target shooting!

Yeah. 100% should have had a selection with this gun. I don’t want to beg the accuracy of it as I know it’s blinding. However I didn’t feel the gun was for me. Out of interest which pellets are your recommendation? Cheers!🍻

Maybe I’ll get another to try. I think it was the crappy pellets. I want to try again with some better ones. It’s a lovely rifle.

If I were you I I would try another one because you I believe have a dud . Many persons that shoot at our Airgun club have them and absolutely love them . Easy cocking and loading amazing smooth loading probably better than my Weilrauch he 110 this is a very poor example and contrary to everyone I have spoken to . You must be very unlucky or just be very very anti Reximex .

First reximex. And wanted to love it. Just didn’t get on with it. I’m going to try a Lyra soon. I believe reximex are very good! Just had a bad experience with this guy. Probably user error
