I'm still waiting to fit the latest valve to my P2.
When it works, accuracy is excellent.
Unfortunately, I'm now waiting for the valve delivery.

I definitely like my P1 prophet and the P1 compacts.. had some regulator issues but that's been sorted.. they have been very reliable. RTI's simplicity, fast barrel swaps, easily tuned and your shooting without any upgrades to make it shoot straight like some other manufacturers rifles.. all though the P1 isn't as refined as some but it shoots straight each and every time I pick it up.. heck I've been considering buying a priest 2.... I see that you can still order one from the RTI Shop.
Funny enough I've been thinking the same, priest 2.
The RTI shop now ship the priest 2 with the RPB barrel. Confirmed this week. .22/.25
Define value for money.

I think I would like the way the priest cocks over the prophet.. I see they offer a conversion kit to change the priest 2 breech to a prophet... Wish the offered a kit to make the prophet to a priest 2 breech..I would most definitely buy the kit

I don't know. If you have your hammer spring set heavy, cocking the priest might be a bit of a bear. Maybe on the P2 since you don't need so much hammer spring tension.

Probably plenty lying about, quite a few guys swapped out to the prophet system. Wanted add?
I'm actually considering a lowish power priest 2, so cocking lever shouldn't be too severe.
I've enough power with the 2 prophets.
Ohhh decisions.

I built a couple of rifles years ago (22 & 25) similar to the ones Quackenbush use to build back in the day... I always liked the way it cocked as far as for a hunting rig goes.. true as it was a bit stiff to cock if a lot of hammer spring was used.. but later as I learned to tune a bit better a balance between more hammer weight and less spring made cocking effort much better..
I keep one of my prophet compacts mostly a 177 slug shooter and it cocks easily already.. changing to a priest breech wouldn't be bad on that one.. it may when I swap on the 25 barrel that requires more reg pressure (not by much) and more hammer spring.. but I bet if I replace the aluminum hammer spring spacer with a steel spacer the cocking effort would be much less.. or that's my thinking anyway..

As these later priest 2 with a RPB barrel, will definitely need less speed, power.
That's my observation so far. I have the prophet 1 and 2 plus 6 barrels, so I'm a tinkering sort.
My compact P1, is now a .177 slug machine, it's staying that way.
P2, with winter, valve issues etc it hasn't been tested beyond 65m. It's accurate though
.If I had enough use out of the P2 rather than time spent on my workbench, the priest 2 would have been ordered. Life and this hobby.
SupremaRatio, bonus, Prophet 2 makes me practice my English.

That's right you did say the priest would have the new RPB on it. So yeah it wouldn't need a lot of hammer spring anyway..As these later priest 2 with a RPB barrel, will definitely need less speed, power.

I know what you mean... I'm having too much fun with a 177 slug shooter.. it's a pest bird/small game shooting machine!
I don't want to mess with it either
I did email the RTI Shop earlier asking if I could possibly buy a priest 2 breech to convert my prophet...

Don't get me wrong mate, i wasn't talking about your situation, only about how much difficult is to change opinion once something bad (or good) happens

I got a PP1 and its like a hammer, shoot and forget it super accurate in 177, 22 25 and the 30 barrels, Jumped on the PP 2 compact in 22 , Had a tight barrel problem and RTI covered me and sent me a new CZ barrel, Yes I had to spend time working on the barrel to get them to fit proper but DAM super accurate, Because of that, I think RTI can think of me as a customer and I would like a 177 slug gun set up and I think the Prophet is going to fit the bill, May have to sell another gun as the safe is just not big enough to hold all of them.

Yea I think I slip through the loop with the valve problem, I got one of the 1st compacts in the US , Mine is 22 caliber and had the over size OD CZ barrel, So far so good, But really my new Huben came in at the same time and I have not really given either one a good work out as I have been jumping back and forth,At 1st I was a little pissed I did not get a RPB barrel, But the accuracy of the CZ barrels made me say DAM glad I got the CZ barrels.

Melt some pellets inside your hammer. I did that ( about 5g or 80gr) and, damn, 1200 fps with .177 slugs, but i couldn't find a good barrel with the right twist rate. Of course 1200fps are not useful but it was funny
