The RTI Mora April19th2025
A mini review by Joe Polanco
A couple of folks have asked me about the Mora, my likes, dislikes and general opinion of the gun overall. So, very quickly, without any detailed explanations of gun and/or it's design (this has been done at nauseam) lets jump directly to its functionality and it's pros and cons .
Is the RTI Mora perfect? Unequivocally no, of course not. In virtually anything, there always exist areas that can be improved. In the case of the Mora however,I've found very little that I would change.
Obviously,from the results I've posted and those readily found on other forums by various other shooters, the Mora's performance is, at least IME, as good as it gets given today's air gun technologies. The Mora platform is a precise, simple to work on platform which delivers supreme accuracy. The Mora is a well balanced and reasonably quiet machine whose overall fit and finish befits its high end price tag. The Mora,although capable of power ratings over 200 ft/lbs, sips rather than guzzles air and comes in a wide variety of configurations. When I judge PCPs on their "out of the box" performance, condition and quality, I do so using a rating scale from1 to 10, where 1 represents “avoid at all cost” and 10 equals “manna from heaven”. I give the Mora an overall rating of 9. Let me subtext this by saying that I've never given any gun a 10 and serious doubt that I, or any of you, will live long enough to ever experience a gun rated 10, one that emerges PERFECT out of the box.
So, what is there about the Mora not to like? What exactly are it's imperfections? For me, there are only two, very niggly points, I can think to criticize. The first is that I do not care for bottle guard (m-lok cage accessory). By comparison to the rest of the gun, this item is somewhat flimsy. The cage accessorys lack of heft is very noticeable when using it as a bi-pod mount. When used for this purpose, the slightest tap sends the entire gun vibrating like a tuning fork. Furthermore the cage/guard lacks any attachment formats other than m-lok. For those needing to ad an Arca or Picatinny accessory, you're going to need an adapter. Lastly the cage/guard unit attaches at a single point of contact on and below the trigger guard. This single point of contact further adds to the guns instability when using it as a bi-pod mounting point. However, since this an accessory and not a standard item, for me, it doesn't reflect poorly on gun in any way.
The only other "meh" I've found involves the cheek riser. The riser itself, is perfectly fine. However, the slots through which the attachment bolts pass are too short to permit the riser to be lowered sufficiently to allow me to use low or medium profile scope rings. Again, for me this is a nonissue. I simply removed the cheek riser altogether. However this issue too can be easily remedied with the use of a Dremel tool and a grinding bit to extend the slots. Neither of these “faults” really have anything to do with the gun itself and both are easily and inexpensively remedied.
All in all, I find the Mora to be a truly revolutionary product which I'm proud and confident to recommend to anyone looking for “the best their money can buy”.
