As a kid I used to have shooting competitions with my little brothers shooting stuff like plastic toy soldiers and toy cars and even matchsticks with our BSA cadet major, but as life went on and we all got married and had separate lives and almost never met up even though we all live within a couple of miles. After watching one of your 1st posts (Redwolf V RM8) I went out and bought an RM8 and invited my brothers round to have a go which they both jumped at the chance to go back to our childhood, since then we had a lot of fun shooting airguns and meet every week. This means a lot to me as my youngest brother has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's so has limited time in our world but for now he so enjoys our Sunday meetings .... This would not have happened if I hadn't randomly stumbled across that early video of yours so I just wanted to say thanks for reminding me how much fun a bit of plinking can be ..... Keep up the good work .... I still have the BSA cadet major :) 1955-1962 build :)

Yes, Chris! Enjoyed this one - as an owner of a mid price pcp (HW110k .177) I’m really glad you’ve done this test! Interesting results… not enough difference to warrant the price differential IMO. I’d imagine the FX starts earning its money when you’re hitting FAC and using slugs. Anyways, great vid. Keep them coming! Rich.

great video I rarely shoot beyond 40 m with my rm8, and I couldn't afford an FX. but this video demonstrates where the extra £s go when buying an fx

I'd suggest using the different pellets will have an impact on the outcome of the results. I'm fairly sure the rm8 would shoot the jsb well so may have been more appropriate to use same pellets. The heavier bisley magnums are more effected by gravity and less by the wind than the jsb. However from such an expensive gun in the FX not the best results. I think the fac version will show it's potential better.

Great vid. I have found my .177 RM8 to be very accurate and a total bargain at the price.

It would be helpful to have chrono results for both rifles as the groups are shot. It would be interesting to see the differing velocities of the "flyers". But hell who cares, the price difference alone, makes this test a moot point. Minuet of magpie/squirrel at 40m is perfectly good.

I just recently got back into air gun shooting after many years of not even handling one. I have just recently purchased the RM8 in .22 from my local gun smiths and firing it on the range at a gun club i've joined, i can get groupings of 7-8 shots bang on the size of a 5p coin at 35-40 meters. The rifle is quite happy to fire upto around 180 shots before a recharge. My only niggle is the RM8's "Auto Safety" catch engages every time you reload and i know it can be deactivated but means stripping the gun and the cocking handle on my RM8 keeps working loose which i've had it back to the gun smiths twice now about this issue and they've tried "Lock Thread" but it's still doing the same at working loose. My RM8 is fitted with a "Hawke" scope and front end suppressure, it's so quiet and damn accurate though.

I'm am surprised that a 1600quid gun shoots tighter than a 450quid gun 😁😂🤣👍 Just goes to show how good a value proposition the RM8 is... Hence why I have one!

Good Video Chris👍🏻Not a lot of difference in the groups considering the difference in price.Both have renowned barrels and could get tighter groups with different pellets. Atb👍🏻😀

It sounded like the wind picked up when testing the RM8

Hi nice simple review but one thing you have to take into account is with pellets you are using show this results but different makes of pellet are better at different distance which I have tried myself in the rm8 ie air arms at 35- 40 very good at 50 nots so good but my pellet testing showed QYS pellets really good groups at 40 -50yards & 35 -40 but not as tight as air arms so worth pellet testing for what yardage you want to shoot. Plus I also have gone a simple review on the rm8 & find it a great gun for price not much between it & my high end guns so yes 👍

Would it not be fairer to use JSB pellets in the RM8 as you have shown in previous videos that they perform very well with the rifle?

get the pcptunes rm8 regulator upgrade. it takes to a very powerful 45J. then it will "out shoot" the FX even at 100+ yards with the jsb 10.4 g .177 pellets. thanks for video, for a cheap pcp the walther is pretty good bang for the buck at 1/4 the cost even with the upgrade !!!

Interesting that you state the specific calibre of the JSB pellets for the FX (4,54) but not for the RM8, they prefer pellets that are 4.53 calibre, what was the exact calibre used?

Chris, I am looking to purchase my 1st PCP for only target work. In your opinion which would be my best option the Kral NP02 or the Walther RM8. I have always only shot springer guns previously.

The vertical group from the RM8 at 50m is probably down to breath control. Just my opinion, and something I learned in the forces.

It seems a marginal performance difference considering the FX costs around £1,150 and the RM8 £430.

hello bro, you don't feel comfortable with the RM8 breech? I noticed you raise your head between each shot.

I tried the Impact Mk3 and the RM8. The Impact is absolutely outstanding but costs around £1800. The Mk2 is around £1400 I think. So I bought a second hand RM8 at under £300. I am a good shot but not good enough that the Impact would make a difference.

Gotta love the RM8, it's my gun of choice but I wish I could find someone capable of fixing my logun sweet 16.

seems like the fx is not three times the gun even though its three times the price had a Hw100 and now have a RM8 shoots just as well out to 45 yards and well i can have the rifle plus pard night vision etc for less than the price of the FX rifle. do you run them both over the chrono ?

I think you've just saved me a lot of money :)

Since the fx costs 3-4 times as much, is it 3-4 times better? Not so sure, not everyone wants or can spend the money on an FX. The RM8 is very good for its price point. Sad to say I’ve never had a reliable fx so maybe I just got a downer on them as a manufacturer

Hello, where can you buy the rifle rest? I had to translate the text with Google, because unfortunately I only speak German .. Thank you very much lg Jürgen

A test I really would like to see done is as follows. Same rifle, same pellet, same distance, same conditions. One done with holdover /under. The other done with turret clicks. Do 100 shots. Then look at the accuracy stats.

Interesting video , but unfortunately my experience with air rifles ( from humble to exotic ) is that I can’t even hit the target at 40 metres , let alone get a decent group ! I usually keep it at 10 -15

Great video, good and pretty fast shooting.😉 I think the Impact is not the right gun for most countrys in Europe. For your country, Germany, Spain etc. way to powerful so the gun can not show the full performance for longrange shooting and in my country (Austria) we only can buy it without the silenced shroud (without a aweful expensive and hard to get hunting licence) and it looks like a damaged donkey and is loud like 308. This rifle is made for the US or the Netherland shooters who are not limited whatsoever. FX build great rifles for smaller money like the Dreamline and they are pretty adjustable, accurate and available from normal hunting style over tactical versions or even bullpups. I own a Wildcat Mk1 cause i‘m a simple guy and want to shoot and not adjust around but as i said, they have tons of models except the Impact and the Maverrick

See if you can do a review of a airgun technology uragan against a redwolf cz against lothar walther that would be good to see.🎯

Difference price?

The best pellets my .177 rm8 prefers is the exact 10.84g. Not tried the bisleys yet but im getting 8 shots at 30 yards under a quid coin with the exacts. Try those on ya tests and see what u get m8 :-)

What caliber RM8 are you using?

Walther 👍

Thank you for your effort, but Rm8 is far behind as a competitor with Impact m2

Unfortunate that you used bisley magnums in the RM8, not a good pellet for thar gun, JSB and RWS superdomes would have given a much better guide.

Hi I think that was not a fair comparison as the fx is three times the price of the walther rotex yes the fx was I little better but not three tines better I am a fan of yhe fx and I own a rm8 I am a fan of yours but think this was not a fair comparison sorry

getting a group like that with fx mk2 there must be a problem and comparing it to the rm8 😂

that posture does not look good for yr back/neck

I do not even have to compare these to guns against each other the Fx is far superior than the Rm8 . The Rm8 is not even close in comparison than the fx .

Bugger ! Gorra go to work , I'll watch the vid later. ..

The walther will go rusty if you take your eyes off it

I used nx200 but I’m more accurate than you🤣🤣🤣

Not a good test 👎

In reality this is a bullshit comparison. Accuracy should be tested inside not outside in windy conditions. Doing it like this is useless

the rm8 gave me 3 non shots in half an hour. shite
