Where do people get the idea this is a hevey gun, it's half a pound heavier than my FX Crown .22 FAC, it's over a pound lighter than my HW97K, and if you put it along side a Beeman Commander it'll be quite a lightweight, don't review my 7.62 target rifle at just under 16 pounds that's a "heavy rifle" but not the RM8.

Hello Michael, have you handled an RM8 ? Because they feel heavier than their weight until shouldered, then again a 7.62 S M G weighs over 20 lbs , but then I only review sub 12 ftlb airguns that are readily available to the public, personally I prefer a nice light bullpup as they're easier to use when hunting, thanks for the input, Best Regards, Jon 👍

We just got my dad the uc version with a great scope, silencer and two mags for 399 quid and its an amazing rifle . Very accurate and 160 shots per fill you cant grumble.

Hi Jon. I've just watched this video as I was in my local rfd today, picking up the bsa compresser for my new shooting club "venture" and he had one of these with suppressor, really nice Hawke scope, 3 magazines and pellets in "as new" condition for £500! I thought it was rude not to buy it at that price, so I did! 🤣 'just waiting for a dry day now, to give it a go. 👍🙂

Morning Jon, they're not a bad gun for the money, well engineered, decent accuracy & very safe to operate, happy new pump mate, all the best for Christmas & the New Year, Best Regards, Jon 👍

Well I think you have done a good job of making a good gun look crap. I would suggest trying some different pellets I use the AirArms field in 177 in my RM8 and get a 3/4 inch (18mm) group @ 26 yards. I am not saying AirArms Field is the best for all RM8's but might be better in yours

@@jonathanhawke2995 I used a gunpower hand pump all through the Covid period when I couldn't get my tank charged. I'd shoot down to about 140-150 and then pump back up. good work out, but manageable. I'm 70.
