Re: Rotek .22 R8
Hi Luke, the RM8 is an excellent PCP and in 5.5mm hits quite hard. I met a man once who shoots a Weihrauch HW100 (well known as a very accurate and powerful airgun) who told me his son kicks his backside with an RM8. For the price that gun is likely the best around

Re: Rotek .22 R8
I have one in my opinion the best value for money PCP. Really accurate and consistence, even at long distances if you calculate the drop and have good pellets. the action is a bit rough but you get used to it, trigger is not amazing but not bad. like I said I think its best value for money. Is there anything better? Yes, but definitely not at this price range. Get a nice glass and a nice silencer and your are good to go. The 5.5mm is potent, my magnetic pigeon targets are all bent and dented, my 4.5mm springer does not that kind of damage and is not as accurate.... I recommend.

Re: Rotek .22 R8
How easy is it to adjust the power down on these?

Re: Rotek .22 R8
Alot of plastic parts on it. But its made in Germany.
I have Weihrauch Hw100t in 22.
Its incredibly accurate. I use HN Match 18gr and JSB Exact Jumbo. At 30m in backyard its boringly accurate.
There is very few airrifles that come close to the built quality of a Weihrauch.
I would not swap my HW100 even for an FX.
