You didn't know about them because they're so stealthy!

The cs4 models will do it. Advantages of course are...
The Cs4 is fairly quite for a compressor
You can take it, and your tanks with you. Refill as you shoot.
And of course you can fill your guns directly if ever desired.

I ran a Yong Heng for a couple years, sure it was faster... but it's loud, needs support such as a water source, and you're not taking that thing with you anywhere.

If you go with GX order directly from them or Amazon. I do sell some open box and refurbished ones on Ebay.

It's mainly just to top the guns off i let my alkin auto shutoff at 310b on the scba tanks so when I want to top off the pcps that's all I'm really looking for.

@BrazosbyNemo , Every time I pick up that book, Pistol Shooting the Olympic Disciplines, I find another thing that fascinates me. I wish I could have lived in an area where that sort of shooting was a "thing" when I was young. If I was truly serious I would have a Steyr Evo 10E and a SCATT training system. Combined they are still cheaper than a bass boat or an Unlimited Benchrest .22 with a one piece rest and scope. However, my AV/IZH 46M in my 9.3M basement range is more than enough of a challenge. Heck, in terms of rifle my CMP M853 is a challenge. When I get frustrated I get either my tuned FX Streamline or the tuned AA S200 and put a couple in the 10 ring just to make myself feel good - and deluded

That’s the sad part. Wishing you could live in an area that offered these types of shooting disciplines. I have shot my whole life, and though I kinda of knew it existed, I was not exposed to it. My daughter on the other hand happened to go to a HS that had a very good MCJROTC rifle team. She tried out and made the team. I got to experience this whole world of Olympic discipline of shooting sports. It’s out there and it’s big. Just flying under the radar. Unfortunately you need to live around where it’s offered and know it even exists in your area. Most all if not all is focused on young shooters in school. Hardly any opportunity for adults, though 10M pistol being the exception. Olympic/ISSF shooting sports (rifle & pistol) are such a pure and elegant realm of shooting but most are doing it on their own in the garage or basement and don’t have a local club option. Really sad.

just FYI, I picked up one in .177 about a month ago. According to Rich, the .177’s are new, just not in boxes. I cut down the hammer spring and this thing is a tack driver. He is having a Black Friday sale on them. $169. Don’t pass this up if you are even considering one. You won’t be sorry. A $600 gun when they came out. If you don’t know about the spring shortening mod, or are afraid to try it, just order his tune kit. I put one in my Cayden, and it worked great. I am ordering one for the Akela as well. Mine likes Zan 13g slugs a lot, and is not really pellet picky.

As of today (11 27 24) -

HW30s in .177 incoming, thanks

That thing is loaded.

I have my stuff in a couple of the Kitchen cabinets, i am very careful not overloading them. ( .22 and .177 pellets )

O BTW 13 and 16 grain slugs i keep on the 20 PCS boxes they come in from Zan,,,,, on my living room floor, in season they come and go fast.

Click to expand...

Yeah this cabinet is all plywood construction, and I glued the joints when I assembled it and added some screws through those joints. There are 12 screws through the plywood back panel holding it to the wall studs. The shelves are 3/4” plywood so they shouldn’t deflect.

What company was that? So we know who to avoid buying from. Good thing you found an ammo it likes, but no returns possible on a $1400 gun that you don't seem enamored with really sucks.

I’m guessing it’s The Pellet Shop.

and regardless of what I've seen in several places, Kral & Reximex are not the same company and do not share ownership.

Click to expand...

Correct in that they are not.
They are however under the same ownership (Turkey, of course).
The original idea for the Reximex brand was to pull "upscale Kral" guns if i´ve been informed correctly. As to how they´ve succeeded, in all honesty a little to early to tell IMO.

The Gunnar indeed is the Reximex NYX. As a Reximex it does not carry the MSRP of the Gunnar, albeit not off by much.







For various reasons i´ve owned a number of Rex made guns myself (live in Europe) and especially the later designs IMO shows great promise of great things to come.
The NYX tho.. Really?
It´s built rather peculiar seeing todays market me thinks, there´s a number of features and lack thereof i simply do not get. Might be Benji specified them as such tho?
First thing´s first though. Adjusting reg pressure IMO is easy. Sure, to get to it you have to... yadda yadda, but in all honesty.. dunno about you guys but as i arrive on a given reg pressure that normally stands from thereon out until i want to try a new pill, performance level or whatever. In short i really do not see this as an issue. Adjusting reg pressure is something I at least don´t exactly do on the fly, don´t know about you guys.

However.
Seeing how childs play it was to handle, it just fails me why hammer spring pressure isn´t adjustable stock. I just do not get it, it is extremely simple to pull off, in essence you need a tap to install an allen stop screw and done deal.
OF COURSE this should have been done at the factory.
Next up, the thing - again IMO - sports a way to short barrel. Again seeing where the industry is moving after all. Atop that the barrel sports the most insane diffusor setup i´ve ever put my eyes on in person. Thing being that the diffusor adds so much length that although the barrel is rather short you sure as eff don´t notice with the rifle back together.
Knowing all to well what a diffusor´s supposed to perform.. just beyond me. Cause see, they use the same thing for the Meta and what not,.. and it´s just as out of place there too.




That the trigger is "match quality" is just plain false in turn. You CAN adjust it to become decent and then some but match trigger, as in match grade, nope. Not really. Usable for delicate work though, if adjusted, yes.
The actual trigger assy rides in a sub structure of its own and is bolted to the main block via a countersunk allen for each side. Issue there is that them holes are off vs what should be, handing that the entire trigger assy rocks back n forth where it sits.
IMO that´s just plain *rap and should have been handled before these puffs were let into market.

That diffusor in turn. As you crank down on it vs the barrel, and you of course should, well.. now the shroud tube is simply to long to fit. I had to cut a full 3 mills off to make that thing torq as intended.

Final say in turn, getting it to make power sans any hardcore modifications?
Here´s the bottom line, nope. No you will not. As is, adjusting what little there is, this thing will stonewall around like 50J and that´s it, in 25cal.

IF you however take to modifying the piece, different ballgame all together.



I took to handing it a completely different poppet on a 2mm dia shank, i handed it way stiffer HS and in turn made that adjustable. I handed it a ca 120cc plenum, ported the transfers and what not, and now we were getting somewhere.
In this guise we were getting into 3 figure power numbers (in Joules), yes even on the stock "to short" barrel.
For some reason the stock volume set for plenum keeps this piece down you won´t believe (it´s pityful small) and that gets kind of peculiar if you compare the piece to the Reximex Meta that sports a 90cc plenum right from the getgo.
Reasoning behind this? No idea. That being said, to get a NYX/Gunnar to haul you HAVE to hand it more plenum volume, period.

Ok. If so, then for the million dollar question, will it shoot?



Yes it will shoot. Flyer is on me. This done using 33.95 grain JSB´s why it´s safe to say that my findings have been quite different vs the Youtubers there. In fact, i for one at least have yet to take delivery of a Rex gun that will NOT shoot. Caveat to that is that all Rex guns, to my findings (and i´ve owned and still do quite a few) measure "large".
Ie; for a 22cal one go 218" flavor dia for decent results right off the bat.
Fact is, in contrast to him there i find the Factor to be absolute bottom of the bin stuff - and especially so seeing what they run.

My current go to on the rats time being is no doubt my Reximex Meta Premium.
Yep. Severely worked on that one too but OH does it ever deliver.



Here next to my M3. Both lovely guns and the Meta is actually setup to hand more power than the M3. Point then being that albeit a MP takes a bit of work to really shine.. it will, and then at the rate of rather specific half the cost of the M3.
To be kept in mind.

I think our range / shot shed are always open, well at least for a shooter or two more CUZ that's all the room we have, well in the shed at least.
It is nice to be with like-minded people, even if you like me are lightning fast in finding traits in people you do not like, but hey as long as it is not the really bad ones i can manage.

Not bad at all. I had very good results with baracuda match 5.52mm out if my notos. They were averaging 666 fps too, which makes them even more deadly!

They were quiet, laser accurate hammers out to 40. Off a rest They would give me a single ragged hole.

Dunno if you've tried those yet, but they're worth it to see.

Dropped this rabbit at 45-50 yards or so with the Cuda 21s. Hit exactly where I was aiming.

I tried the H&N Field Target Trophy 14.66gn which also did great but I'll have to try the Baracuda Match, thanks for the suggestion.

I think huma is getting away from the mesh tube and felt for a plastic spacer with another baffle ledge inside.

I just wrote a reply after seeing someone ask about it on my feed, but I thought I would take a second to write what I thought and how it worked and all the pro's I saw. Also for the price point being a 2-300 less than the FX Chrony I thought this info might be useful to some of you guys.

Sooooooo, I recently started using the Garmin Xero C1 Pro with my PCP air rifle, and I have to say, it’s completely changed the way I shoot. . My goal was simple: I wanted a setup that could help me be more consistent at varying ranges without all the guesswork of holdovers and using separate tools. After using it for a while now, I can confidently say it’s been worth every penny.

At first, I wasn’t sure how well the Xero would pair with my PCP rifle, but it’s surprisingly intuitive. The Xero mounts easily and functions as both a rangefinder and a holdover calculator. Once I calibrated it for my rifle, it became my go-to tool for improving accuracy. It ranges targets instantly—just press a button, and you get the exact distance. No fumbling for a separate rangefinder or trying to estimate the range by eye. Then, using that distance and the data you’ve programmed, it provides a precise aiming point. It takes into account your pellet’s trajectory, so you don’t have to guess or calculate holdovers in your head. For someone like me who used to hesitate taking shots past 125-150 yards, it’s been a total confidence booster.

One of the features I love most is the ability to set up multiple profiles. I’ve got one profile for my .22 PCP rifle and another for my .30 cal. Switching between them is seamless, so whether I’m out hunting or just plinking at the range, the Xero adapts to what I need. It’s like having a personalized ballistics expert with me at all times.

The biggest improvement I’ve noticed is in my accuracy, especially at longer distances. Before using the Xero, I’d sometimes misjudge holdover and end up with frustrating misses. Now, I can trust the data it gives me and focus entirely on my shot. It’s also a huge time saver, especially when I’m hunting. Instead of spending precious seconds figuring out range and trajectory, I can range, aim, and shoot quickly and confidently. In fact, it’s been a game-changer for small game hunting. I’ve had clean, ethical shots at distances I wouldn’t have even attempted before.

That said, setting it up took less than 2 minutes. Calibrating it to my air rifle was easy just plug and play, once I got it dialed in, it’s been rock solid. I’d recommend taking your time during setup to ensure everything is accurate—you’ll thank yourself later. And yes, the Xero isn’t cheap, but it sure as hell beats the 800+ price range of its competition, but for anyone serious about precision shooting, it’s absolutely worth the investment. It’s like having an entire shooting system built into a compact device.

As we all know a chronograph is a must with Airguns so i highly highly recommend the Xero, usually im skeptical when something is priced lower than the comp but, Garmin is reliable as a company so I gave it a shot and it's been worth it. I’m curious if anyone else here has tried the Xero or something similar with their PCP setup. How has it worked for you? Let’s share tips and experiences—I’d love to hear what others think!
