Pulled the trigger RTI

My Prophet II Performance Standard (22 cal.) arrived today. It's very accurate and precise right out of the box. I didn't touch a thing. Regulator set at 120 bar.

I mounted a Vortex Diamondback scope and promptly started sighting it in with FX 25.29 pellets. It was shooting around 885-900 FPS. I lost track of my shot string stats but they were within single digits.

It has a very low-profile and basic look to it but is very solid. It seems lighter than my FX Impact M3. I'll weigh them later if anyone cares. While I was bench shooting, it still seemed very well balanced for offhand shooting. Look out pigeons!

The magazines seem of very good quality and load like any other. Does anyone know if the pellets should be countersunk into the magazine? I did mine after loading with a small push of the allen key.

It makes a small ping noise while firing. I assume that's the hammer and just a characteristic of the air rifle.

It is my understanding I don't need to fiddle with hammer spring tension. I only need to increase/decrease the regulator pressure for desired FPS.

The trigger is fine by my standard. I'm not too fussy when it comes to them. It does have a lot of first travel play. I'll likely adjust half of that out.

I only wish I didn't have to pay the premium price but still cheaper than Impact and has better availability.

Happy to answer any questions if you are on the fence about buying one.

What kind of groups are you making at 50m? Dos the magazine interacts with your cheek while shooting?
 
I hav had several occasions where my cheek cantacts the exposed wheel of my CARM mag and doesnt let it advance to the next pellet. No issues with the RTI mags. They are slightly smaller with no exposed parts.
I’ve got a factory RTI mag thats open and 2 that’s closed. My cheek also stops it from advancing. I don’t use it much. I bought a closed carm mag to replace it.

No problem with my Carm mags with my Prophet, In 177, 25 , or 30 caliber
Now my Vulcan I have had to throw away three Carm mags that did not rotate the 177 pellet, Line up the sparrow take the shot pop no pellet, Yea I jacked around with the springs on the magazines, Just seems there to weak to rotate the pellets, Carm sent me a few extra Magazines but they screwed up to, I got to where I do not mess with them just toss them in the trash, Its only the 177 magazines giving me the problems ,

I was told by RTI the Compact Prophet II in 22 will be a 2 to 4 month wait,
Thats a long time and I am one that will jump ships if something comes alone that sparks my interest, The 22 rattler, Krait, Just to name a few,,,
I was thinking two or three weeks as I have seen post of people with the Prophet II posting,,, When the Crickets 1st came out I waited 6 months for mine . That really sucked I said I would never do it again, But in the air gun world never say never...

They took my CC didnt charge it yet said that it would ship right out . I waited about a week mailed them and ask about a shipping date I was in formed it would be 2 to 4 MONTHS before shipping.. WTF.
