I got mine Priest in 177. in option with carbon fiber bottle 6 month ago. Extremely happy with this bullpup and its performance . Lightweight, very stable in accuracity and shoot count, very well made in general. Just love the concept and idea of this PCP in general. To me it's my favorite and one of the best bullpup on the market for today! Well done, RTI!
Without a shadow of a doubt the coolest air rifle on the market. A bit loud in .25 for my liking but my cousin fixed the problem using a baffle kit from Benjamin Marauder that fills the space between the end barrel and the shroud (inside the "shroud liner/tube"). Also the trigger was not like on a FX-rifle but good enough. Silencers on air rifles here in Sweden is not allowed unless you have a "very special permit".
I believe they have the same law in Canada, here in Britain suppressors are positively encouraged. The only rule is you cannot mail order them for delivery to youir house, you need to have them sent to your local gun shop and then collect them with identification. I think they are a very good idea for keeping harmony between neighbours. I even use silent targets because it's usually the target that makes more noise than the gun.
I have the old one .. it gives you 110 shot from 275 bars.... i mean 22 cal .... Ans it is sooooo accurate .... i have a vedio about it . Look at its groups at a 100 yards amaizing. And the magazine can take 33 gr jsb
What did you end up getting? I have had my heart set on getting a veteran for my first pcp gun. However the priest has sparked my interest and now I am in the same boat as you, trying to figure out which one to spend my hard earned dollars on.
Excellent review Gregor as always, I noticed that if you put a sound suppressor the point of impact changes significantly. Is there a solution to this?
Thanks Gregor. Heading to watch the accuracy video next, dont know if you cover this on those videos, but, what is your/RTi take on slugs for the Priest? Has RTI done any testing/development going in that direction? and also on the safety button is there a colour for fire?
The priest is not appropriate for slugs, maybe some very light slugs will work OK, but generaly it is not powerful enough. As far as I know, they have big planes for slug in the future but lets wait until IWA, maybe they will reveals something then...
thanks, looks like PCP's will be heading towards slugs. Hope when they make the changes we can do it on user side without having to buy a new rifle. ie just changing barrels and or regulators. What about the markings for the safety?
What you can do it buy the front for the Prophet and the connecting hose and you can fit is on the Priest 1... It is not the easiest thing to do as it requires you to fully disassemble the gun...
Grega živjo in hvala za dobre posnetke. Pred časom sem se zanimal za priest 2 v rojalu. Zanimala me je izhodna moč kalibra 30 in so mi povedali da ima 75J poznejeje pa sem bil tudi spletni starani RTI priest kjer je izhodna moč tega modela 90J. Ne vem zakaj je taka razlika. Na youtubu pa kroži posnetek RTI avatar in ima zanimiv izgled, ali je to kakšen prototip, ali model po naročilu?
Zdravo. Praktično vsaka PCP puška se lahko na tak ali drugačen način nastavi po moči. Res je da Priest nima teh nastavitev na voljo odzunaj (vsaj osnovni model ne), se pa vseeno lahko nastavi, je pa res da je potrebno malo več izkušenj. Predlagam da prosiš / vprašaš Rojal kaka je lahko moč oz. zahtevaš specifično moč pri naročilu pa ti jo bodo pripravili kot boš zahteval (v mejah ki jih puška omogoča), vedi pa da je pri osnovni nastavitvi zagotovljena natančnost za specifično diabolo in da si potem sam odgovoren najti / zagotoviti natančnost... seveda tudi količina strelo je zelo odvisna od tega...
My friend i have a question.... have a brand new priest 2 performance.... when i shoot it, my regulator pressure takes about 20 seconds to return to its place.... it’s normal?
Hi Gregor when I got my rti priest it was giving me 900 to 915 fps after one year and shooting a lot of jsb exact 18.13 the speed dropped to 870 is it possible the hammer spring weekend or what could it be... Thanks and best wishes
Hi. Could be the spring, you can try putting some washers under it to increase the tension to see it the power boosts up... If not, then the regulator pressure decreased...
I am not sure how indexing would help with retaining the POI but no they are not (I guess you mean the POI shift from reinserting the same barrel... in that case it will help to cancel the bore off center tolerances...). But you have to align them with the transfer port anyway so it is the same as if they were indexed...
You need to empty the bottle first, then you can unthread the regulator an put it on another bottle. I do not know what verions you have but there are different ways to emply the bottle, the easiest is to empty the whole gun by the bleed screw in the back of the gun if you have one...

This is a quite old video and there are many options as well as different models now (The Priest 2 and Prophet). In short, it you buy a standard version (or "base version"), you do not need to adjust anything.
@@weirhauch1002 Yes, Priest had different springs and hammer weight added for higher pressures on the reg. Now there is only one spring and adjustable spring tensions (as an option)
hella Gregor, if I understand correctly, the regulation of performance does not work by changing the pressure of the hammer spring as in the edgun / taipan / kalibrgun... fantastic review, btw, thumb up!
No, you can change the power with having different spring stiffness, but there is no adjustment screw, you have to make the adjustment possible yourself in you want to play with it. But I would not recommend this, the gun comes pre-adjusted for best performance...
There are many versions of both but the main difference is the cocking; Pries has straight pull, Prophet has biathlon lever, both have it on the left side
Great review thanks, I would like to purchase one of these but I can't find anyone who imports them into Australia. Any help would be great appreciated.
mine and my mates both have had to go back my mate had a full refund he had problems with the power and mine its at the gunshop with it not cocking and the mag is is very stiff to load i had to seat every pellet when it was working so not really happy for a rifle that costs £900 in the Uk
RTI uses two different barrels at the moment. One is standard LW barrels. Those will group with slugs like any rifle with standard LW barrels. The second barrel is their "pellet" barrel. This is not appropriate for slugs.
Thank you for your support to the pcp market, but that's a godawful looking gun. A tool designed for a purpose, hope the priest 2 makes waves in the us market.

Yes they do
Wow the gun without the bottle but connect via hose is a great idea.
thanks for making video in english good job

Thanks, Rob.
