Since I've been neck deep in research; it seems like there is not much information to be had on this slinger.🤔Tons of info for the RoteX but not the RoteK.(UK market was RoteX*limited power, USA market being the Rotek**not limited)
While most of the info corresponds with one another; I want to find the differences and compile them for any present/future owner.
If you have/had/handled one in either version; please chime in. I will be conducting more research and posting as follows.

Ya, its got nice style to the eye..

Youd think 75-100 is just a thing with that bad boy.. if you pay tribute and pray to the wind g0ds out his way..

Id look at a heavier pellet or .177 slug in that for that stretching it out there if bucking a wind ..

Youd probably find more on the umarex/Walther regin gun that was more available in the usa.

Gunna try se other stuff next trip.
I noticed a lot of the reign design is like this one. Also the....hammerli 850 air magnum & walther 1250 Dominator if i remember right; magazines are interchangeable.
They are even all the same shot count across the calibers😳🤌
The more I delve into this guns history/research; I become more intrigued as to its full capability.

Took me a bit. First mag didn't like the wind...so I waited. Lucky 13 shot popped her, not dead center, a touch low and left but I saw it zing off the twig I shoved in the ground for it to hang on and about knocked my entire table over jumping out of it amd yelling out loud in excitement 🤣🤌🤌🤌

Ya, the wind here this year+ been a joy kill. Day after day 10-15+ mph then the gusts.. longer range shooting went from regular daily to near no way. Use to have to beg for a slight breeze..

I tried to shoot for his morning and said screw it. Fricking wind..

Anyway i checked some vids on it and seems to look good .

I just dont get these nice pcp guns and nobody seems to shoot one over 30y .. lol . I got a 1000$ pcp and it can do nickel size groups at 25y .. lol

I did have one in 22cal. It all worked good.I didnt like the trigger.it was right their, their was no ley way.I tried the one adjustment i just couldn't get it to where i wanted it?I did see a video on adjustment of the trigger. You have to take 8 to 10 screws out to get to the trigger" man for what i payed for the gun i didn't want to mess with it" great shot count.

Oh I plan on NOT touching any adjustable things on it😅
I've not a clue where to start. Trigger is fine for me as is. *one of my springers has a horrod 10+lb trigger and this one compared to it is butter🤷‍♂️🥴🤣

Ya.. so many tout 2 stage adjustable , bla, bla, bla and twist on the adjustments all you care to and find it dont adjust nothing or you got to go in and "fix" it with a mod.

Then i guess a little bit of somthing is better then a whole lot of nothing..🤤
