    Excellent review guys! One of the many things I have learned from you is when sighting in a scope or shooting a group to check accuracy I have started using a target with a dot relative to the size of the scopes cross hairs. Too big of a "bulls eye" and you can't hold the cross hairs in the same spot for each shot. The gun may be accurate but if you don't hold the exact place then you can't have consistent shot placement. Thanks for work you both contribute to the air gun sport and hunting!

It actually look like a bsa r10 it shoots as good as a r10 from what I can see. great statistics. definitely up there with the best of them. but you boys are definitely the boys to put it through its pace. top shooting by the way. top range shooting and top vermin control. all in all brilliant. glad to see you boys back at it. keep up the good work. all the best. and as Rex hunt would say thank your mother for the rabbits.

    Yes, they are very professional but still down-to-earth and good shots. I just watched another so-called test between the BSA and the RM8 only using 3 types of pellet and forgetting to lock the magazine in and although he has a very good gun rest it is on a very wobbly table he said he was pleased with the results but it was not a very good test for either gun.

LOL. looking at buying my very first air rifle, specifically a PCP rifle guys. How does the RM8 compare to the BSA R10 MK2 in your opinions and are there other options I should consider.

    Very impressive. I'd love to own one but I think it's too 'serious' a rifle for me. I dont think I'm worthy of a PCP rifle yet. I shoot in fits and spurts and dont think I can justify the cost of all the accompanying support equipment you'd need for a PCP. Maybe if/when I become more consistent and regular in my airgun shooting I'll 'graduate' to something so obviously worthy. I'll stay in the break-barrel peanut gallery for now looking on at the awesome gear you guys have.

    This is a well built gun I have the beech stock .22 version and I agree with Si and Davy on how good it is, but DO NOT BUY THIS GUN I had a accident while out using it. Whilst out I slipped and fell catching a branch of a tree with the bi pod which caused the stock to split. I tried to contact Walther for a replacement and even some of their dealers, nobody especially Walther were interested and did not even reply, so the moral of the story is, if you are going to buy a PCP buy one from a reputable manufacturer and suppliers so if you do have an accident they will try and supply replacement parts NOT like Walther/Umarex

    Hi lads. Stumbled across this vid whilst researching this rifle... i have subscribed awhile ago but never noticed this one until recently when i decided to go down PCP route. How did the RM 8 pan out over time? Ive heard such a mixed bag over this gun... i.e.. anything from 9.4ft/lb - 11.5ft/lb (i need accuracy and concistancy from 25-35yrds) .problems with double loading, mag/ pellet indexing needing forcing. Etc...bolt action sticky/ clumpy etc. basically can u still recommend over the hatsan at44-10 , for example or similar?? Any other recommendations for an entry level PCP for vermin an odd bunny?
