Hey MRD! That's great to hear matey as it's hard to see back there. We have a piece of wood behind the card holder so I reckon the pellet may have impacted another that was already in the wood. I feel a bit more smug now haha. Thanks MRD!
i got this rifle the day of release, check skirts as I've not had any flyers yet I have however iv'e hit more shot on shot pellets (same hole) than I have in my entire life. beautiful rifle amazing looks and performance is top tier for its price
Had one 2 weeks ago, came directly to my door, on opening it up I realised that the safety lever was jammed solid in the open position, even with over 20 pounds of pressure to flick it into safe position, so it went back, decided to spend a lot more and got Daystate revere, I totally lost confidence in the Ixia which is a shame. I have bought 2 budget rifles in the past a raider12 which is absolutely brilliant and as accurate as anything out to 30yards and zbrioa kosak again great rifle, like you I'm a Springer man at heart and have around 30 which are all German and British, I didn't like the idea of getting bottles filled up, bought a cheap compressor and it works great! So my PCP collection is growing. A styer and air arms Hw included. Anyone else got a problem like me? Basically buying rifles is out of control 🤣🤣
ow yes i`ve got a growing collection ? i want to buy buy buy lol .... i love my ixia compact , carbon fibre bottle ... it`s as good as FX rifles .... cheers
@@simonnoble7589 Hi Simon, i hear mostly good things regarding these rifles, i must have been unfortunate with mine, very happy to hear another person delighted with their rifle. 👍👍
Dan You need to film More Springers/Gas rams , You have had several PCP's which whilst attractive propositions would probably still leave Me feeling cold , this is another one , if You carry on showing Me such excellent PCP's , You might convince Me to own one , don't get Me wrong if cash was no object their would be several of them at My house and probably at least twice as Many Springers as well . That is a damn fine rifle for the price & I take My hat off to Reximex for doing such a bloody good job for so little cost , I've not seen a bad revue yet on any channel , every presenter has Not surprisingly sung their praises. This rifle is probably the most tempting yet even though it's not furnished with with a lovely wooden stock , if it was ,I probably wouldn't be able to stop Myself . Stop blaming Yourself for weather conditions We understand ( or should do ) Your a damn good shot and I noticed that whilst You did the 40 yard wood plugging the plank You put the target on kept slipping to the right of the screen as every pellet hit perhaps that's why We saw some of that stringing . I always look forward to Your show ( PCP or Not ) catch You next episode Thanks again . Shoot Straight Stay Safe & Stay Well .
Hi Richard! I agree wholeheartedly mate, this is why the next video is the little Cometa 220 carbine. I'm all PCP'd out, PCP'd off even haha. It'll be good to get our mitts on a springer again and I want to put some of the limelight on the little Cometa USC laminate too. Yeah the target was flopping about all over the place to be fair I'm really not a fan of these paper targets... they may work indoors but outside they're a nuisance. I tell you what's dangerous Richard... and I'm seriously close to adding one to my collection.. have a look at the Reximex Pretensis Walnut. Yes it's a PCP but it's one of the most beautiful rifles I've laid eyes on and it's sensible money for a change. Thanks Richard and I hope to see you here for our 220 review! It's about time we had a proper gun on eh?
@@bigdansairguns83 Oh I'll be there "virtually% 99% guaranteed - All being well that is , Yes I've seen a couple of revues on the Reximex rifles and carbines , I've not seen many negative comments , mostly the nit picking Your really good at , which is just one of the many reasons I watch ( Besides being a Springer Aficionado & advocate ) , an idea I stolen from some other shooting channel involves using cheap masking tape to tape a target to a cereal box or other suitable bit of card , then filling it with Newspapers or rags (put a suitably sized rock in the bottom to stop it blowing in the wind then when the targets been used tape a fresh one over the top or use bits of the same cheap masking tape to cover a nice group (do it double thick so it retains its ability to show pellet hits without tearing) it's saved Me quite a bit . Mines just a Weetabix box with a flat but heavy stone from the beach on the bottom full of old junk mail & TV listings & old magazines which sits directly in front of My Target Air funnelled pellet trap ( it's really well built with really thick steel and all welded construction rated for .22 long rifle's and not at all dear , Mine cost about £21 about 3 or 4 years ago it's run by a great chap by the name of Lukaz, He do's some excellent inserts to fit , with pictures of virtually all the air gun legal quarry +bullseye type targets of many sorts , I bought 2000 mixed targets at the same time and am still using them ,with the tape method and the box so if any go through then impacts on the steel & are not loud ) Sorry ! that almost turned into an advert blurb for Target Air , but seriously check him out ( He's last I looked he was after retail outlets to sell his products) All this has a safe brick wall back stop and it's ideal at stopping any potential ricochet and keeping the neighbours happy , Really looking forward to the 220 review , and all being well I'll Catch You then .SS, SS & SW
I thought I better proof watch this before watching your review in front of a certain someone 🤣 Great review mate over the moon with the package you put together
Hey Luke. Hahaha best be careful with that one! It comes together perfectly to the point that I might offer that setup as a package deal. It's just sitting here now matey all sad.....
@@bigdansairguns83 I better organise getting it before you want to keep it 🤣 it will live next to the Winchester, browning and remington it definitely won't be lonely 🤣
It's a definite jump up for budget rifles Andrew, from the build to the accuracy you wouldn't notice a difference between this and the super premium stuff. You definitely won't be disappointed.
Hi Jonathan! They're a lovely rifle mate and they've made some quality of life improvements since this video too. With the Mk2 the fill probe is a proper size (Hallelujah!!) and they've removed the vented shroud for a more traditional and much quieter shroud. They're a great gun if you're into adjustability/tactical gear.
Thanks Ian! Yeah if there was something on the front end it wouldn't be so bad but that rail would get uncomfortable after a while. As a target shooter however it'd make a phenomenal rifle.
Great review Dan. Had mine for 2 weeks now..laughed at the magazine comment as caught me out for a while! interested at your regulator comment as mine is running at 140, must get it on the chrono. Found Air Arms and Hades to be spot on so far up to 35 yards. Loving the Ixia so far, keep up the good work.
Hey Andy! It'll catch you out won't it haha. I know it's evil but I do love letting customers try and suss out how it's loaded. Is yours .177 or .22 Andy? I know that RR do set up each rifle that comes in so perhaps that is where your particular rifle runs sweetest. A chrono check certainly wouldn't hurt. Thanks Andy and let me know how you get on.
Not 100% sold on this one , kinda had it on my list too buy for a while , I dunno , got a few weeks before the shooting show , guessing they'll have one there so I can see it in the flesh ... like the MYTH as well , so much to choose from these days , superb review as always , glad to have you back again on the telly ..
Thanks Mark! Yeah I'm not sold on the looks still... you do fall in love with it the longer you play with it as it's a solid bit of kit... that action feels like a £1500 setup it's beautiful. That being said the one I've really got eyes on is the Reximex Pretensis walnut... my god that's a beautiful rifle.
@@bigdansairguns83 Think the MYTH would look fantastic in walnut ( obviously not the bottle stock part ) kinda really like that rifle , can't put my finger on why though .. its just so .. er ... nice
@@markhomer5704 The Myth is a great little gun. It's a bit like a more refined and grown up NP02. Handles a tad better too as the NP's have a surprisingly long length of pull. Reximex do offer different stock styles on their website... give it time and you may see a walnut Myth!
Nice rifle, for the price you won't get much better, if i was on the market for such a rifle I'd definitely be looking at one of these, great video again pal, 😁👍
Thanks Phillip! It's a brilliant rifle mate... not my favourite aesthetic-wise but there's no denying how well built it is. It also shoulders incredibly well despite the lack of a cheekpiece. I can see these being very popular.. that being said the real one I've got my eyes on is the Reximex Pretensis Walnut. What a beautiful rifle!!
@@bigdansairguns83 I think I need to get down Your area and have a pint or two and a good old chin wag . Changing the subject slightly do You have an E mail address where I could send You an outline of an idea ( Flash of inspiration) I just had about promoting All things airgun ! which would need a willing dealer and a certain magazine publisher ! ( Boy I'm full of idea's today ?! ) and You would be in the right area to encourage said party to participate .

Hey Skip! It's definitely up there on the scales but to its credit it does shoulder incredibly well. I actually like the weight as it gives the rifle a really solid feel and the rifle isn't designed to be a walked up shooter as such. Still though... shaving a few lbs wouldn't hurt. I could do with the same!!
@@kdm6287 UK yes, regards delay, only the sub12 version was delivered to the importer in January. August to year end was a mixture of new gun and world supply ( COVID? ) Problems. Good luck
Great review as always Dan, im like you i prefer a nice wood stock, but having said that mate, your getting a lot of gun for the price, indeed you are, Cheers
Thanks Casper! Yeah if they could give us a walnut version that would be superb, but as a rifle there's no denying its a genuinely incredibly impressive bit of kit.
@@bigdansairguns83 Hello Dan, after your review am after a Cometa 300 in .177 unfortunately they are impossible to find in this country brand new in .177, I've tried 9 different places including all the big companies like Drapers, Pellpax and Shooting Targets, the best I've been offered is an ex display but I turned it down, it has to be brand new, unused and never taken out of the box, am I right in thinking you sell Airguns ? If so do you have a BRAND NEW Cometa 300 in .177 never used and never taken out of the box ? REPLY

@@iwanvanderhut4159 But Sherly you can't be serious! Sorry couldn't resist.. She won't mind Iwan... she might even love you more for it. Maybe.. Possibly.. Okay on second thoughts maybe at least soften her up first.
Thanks Darren! I'm not really into the tactical stuff myself but that was a nice rifle to shoulder to its credit and I did find myself admiring its chunkiness. I'm still a proper stock man though!
I like this style of rifle, and am more in the budget to purchase, I have the Kral NP02, and love it apart from the wood I prefer composite bodies but after using it I bought it, it is heavy mind and still working through different pellets to see its best results, but yep the weather has slowed me down as I have another hobby not a cheap one so my rifle fun takes second place but at least a lot of the time where I go I am able to indulge both my hobbies. I think it is as good as my Kral performance wise but a little more expensive my sites are more expensive than the rifle, and due to having two air chambers I get cramp long before the air runs out a pig to air up if I use the pump you get back ache and repetative strain disorder so looking to get a bottle to use. Where can I get a look at the range of Reximex rifles.
Hey Nick! The NP02's are excellent little guns and I can't wait to review one. They just offer so much for such little money. For a look at the Reximex rifles you can see them on our website here: www.bigdansairguns.co.uk/Reximex.php The Pretensis Walnut is a thing of absolute beauty and the Myth may look "Interesting" for you.
It's a genuinely nice rifle mate to be fair it's still not my cup of tea but it was really starting to grow on me. everything on it just feels right (barring the lack of a forestock). Cheap Daystate? I didn't know that existed! 😆
@@bigdansairguns83 the accuracy of it at 36.576 meters is outstanding even with the shooters chunky hands. Really impressed yet again by a rifle you have chosen to review. Next year shot show I will be your cameraman.
H&N Terminator s try them. I did check airgun sniper elite channel were i shoot at 80ys however going across the range from the far left to middle is 90yards
Hey Professor Jack! I'll give them a bash and see how we get on. 80yds shooting now that's some talent! Thanks for the tip Jack and I'll mention this to customers.
@@bigdansairguns83 good day Dan thanks for taking the time to review guns and wee bullets Wee have our eye s on the REXEMAX gun I wood be very great full if you wood leave a wee comment on the video comments are as its not for me its for Mark Holding s channel he is X SAS Thanks for taking the time to reach out to me that means a lot. Have a nice day Jack
@@Professor-Jack Must say , it was very impressive , the 80yrd grouping , using terminators ( solely from watching airgun sniper elite ) in a few different rifles with varying levels of accuracy , ain't tried them in my daystate yet , but if there anything to go by in the delta wolf , I'd be more then happy .. I like Mark's channel , he's a smart guy
Spot on review Dan, very interesting gun to challenge the BIG Boys, no adjustments like an fx but for sub £700 I think a great alternative, are the mags kral np02 looks exactly the same, keep up the great work bud, keep punching that paper 👍👍👍
Hey Target Time! Thanks for the kind comment it means a lot. The mags are the same as found on the Benjamin rifles, a very similar design to Kral but a bit thinner. It's a great rifle and I can see it being incredibly popular... now if only they could give it a proper stock with some walnut....mmmmm...
The ixia (mine anyway) does have a tight choke, noticed this after polishing my barrel and pushing pellets through, polishing it made it less pellet fussy tbf
Nice fair review Dan as ever. I like you am a bit more of a traditionalist That being said I do like the look of some of their range. Good to see that someone is taking on the big guys and at last offering some quality guns at a realistic price 👍can you tell me who makes the barrel?
Hey Garry! I'm glad you liked the video. Yeah it's not entirely my cup of tea but it was growing on me as the days went by. My eyes are on the Pretensis walnut though... gorgeous thing. The barrel is Reximex's own I believe and it's a testament to how good the Turkish barrels are now. Even the little NP02's are starting to embarrass some of the big name brands down range... that's another little rifle I have to get around to reviewing!
@@bigdansairguns83 Hi Dan, I am thinking about a Ixia but in .25 to be used for short range rat control. Thinking about the impending loss of lead pellets I am thinking that the higher mass of non lead .25 may help with accuracy. Anyway do you carry this rifle at .25 in stock if not what is the wait time. Cheers Dan.
The law actually says any external power adjuster on the MUST only be able to produce the max. 12 ftlb. So it hasn't been removed so don't accidentally increase the power, it has been removed because they are legally required to do so. It's a bit of a nonsense really as any external adjustable regulator is easy and simple to overcome. It just means you have to empty then refill the bottle. It is easier than that on some guns with external hammers like the Shin Sung Career. For obvious reasons I am not going to explain the process but it makes a bloody nonsense of the legal requirements regarding construction. Any Shin Sung owner knows exactly what I mean. Some things really do need to be tightened up in the VCR Act. BTW. I am with you 110% on this style of gun. It all started with the Steyr 100 which, in all honesty is actually quite smart compared to some. Many call the Steyr a 'Meccano' gun, the Airforce and Gunpower style 'Drainpipe' guns and this type 'Lego' guns. You cannot lovingly oil the grain on one of those utilitarian beasts like you can a nice piece of Walnut, Beech or Rosewood and get any form of therapeutic relaxation out of it. To me owning a nice gun is more than just accuracy. I like to see them on my wall racks with that defined grain pattern. How do you get any fun out of looking at black anodised aluminium? I must just be old fashioned. I do have a Gunpower Shadow 2 as I have previously discussed but as you know, not out of choice. Now fettled, yes it is an absolute tack driver with that Lothar Walther barrel but it is absolutely soul-less, a pig to cycle and thoroughly uninspiring. It is just functional.....well it is now the ridiculous valve problem has bee sorted. It was given to me as, so the owner thought, impossible to legalise and impossible to sell. I love a challenge. I spent less than £90 on reg and smaller bottle and voila. Now it's done I may well just give it him back though he hasn't really asked for it but I just do not like it. Now if I had the inclination to source a walnut blank I'm pretty sure I could make a nice job of it, well at least the forestock but that bloody bottle and that awful breech would still be an eyesore. Give me a nice Stutzen....any day.
If it's reliable over time and it stays accurate ,I can see a lot of shooters that like the idea of an impact but they just won't pay the massive price tag buying these as a cheaper alternative ,I'm going to watch out for these .
Hey matey! I think that's where these are really going to shine. The build of them is spot on, the only potential cause for concern would be the regulator but from what I've seen from the little MiTo's reg there hasn't been any reliability problems. From what I can see so far Reximex seem to be on a winner.
It's definitley got my attention, but I don't buy first runs of new to market rifles anymore ( I've learned the hard wary ) When ever I've brought a brand new air rifle that's a complete new model and brand new design I've had nothing but trouble ,logun s16 evo( a s16 MK3 essentially), FX verminator make( very first run) an FX impact mk1( first batch to come to UK market) and a couple of other expensive ( so called high end) ,mechanics going wrong,seals leaking or bursting, with the mk2 verminator accuracy was the issue ,FX had just purchased the smooth twist design from Ben Taylor( former top man at theoben) the .177 smooth twist barrels in sub 12 UK power levels were so bad ,it really shocked me that FX had released a gun to market without paying much attention to the .177 at sub 12 levels . They only tested the higher power models in .177 ,they were great at 18 fpe , but when they were at 11.5 it was shockingly bad ,took me 8 months to finally get what I had paid for, as for the mkq impact, none stop leaking after I'd put 3 tins of pellets through it. It would leak from the regulator,I'd send it back to the then distributor ,ASI,it would be fixed and I'd take it out shoot a couple of mags and it would start leaking in a totally different area of the gun ,not connected or anything to do with the regulator ,it was without doubt the most frustrating disappointing rifle I'd ever owned in my life ,and at £1600 it's not like it was a budget gun,quality control on that rifle was abysmal , the companies only find out what problems a totally new rifle will develop when they go on sale and us shooters start shooting , ive noticed it on every new release from 95% of the manufacturers , from budget, mid range to the most expensive PCP money can buy , so when something arrives on the market I watch it for at minimum 12 months , it's saved me a lot of time and money ,patience is the key when buying a new air rifle .
@@aboutthemetal8783 Sadly I've heard this quite a lot about FX.. they're a very clever rifle but the reliability on them needs serious work. To their defence an O-ring is an O-ring but they just have so many of them in their rifles! It's a good approach to wait a bit, so far we've not had a single failure with an Ixia (or Reximex) but they've not long been on the market. We'll see what the future brings!
Hey Richard! You can find them on our website www.bigdansairguns.co.uk and we also test every rifle before sale and forward you the results before collection/transfer so you'll know you've got a corker. Thanks Richard and all the best!
Hey Jim! Now wouldn't that be an interesting upgrade or potential future option... I think I may have to mention this to the powers that be and see what happens. Thanks Jim and I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Got one of these on Wednesday, cleaned barrel last night. Went shooting today and was disappointed to start with. It doesn’t like the pellets/slugs my other pcp does. Shot a few groups then went back to JSB exacts and was 5p groups all afternoon, found the other pellets didn’t feel good when loading ..
@@bigdansairguns83 don’t get me wrong am more than happy with rifle but I did notice the pellets it didn’t like felt notchy when loading may try single shot tray this weekend but got more JSB coming so will be happy for a while yet 😊. Keep up the good work with the reviews 👍
Look look of both Ixia and Regime especially since I shoot lefthanded, can't get many rifles that swap over heck most of the more expensive rifles have to be bought in a special left handed version just to get a stock that works, but I think Regime wins for me being nearly £200 cheaper and still a good enough hunting/plinking gun
Hi SyncR. The Regime is an excellent little rifle and I definitely look forward to reviewing one. I find the Regime more comfortable to shoulder.. the Ixia and the other "tacticool" rifles seem to completely ignore the forestock so your hand either rests on a rail or the cold bottle. Not ideal in the winter! The Ixia is still a great rifle however and like the Regime can be swapped from right to left handed. Thanks SnycR!
@@bigdansairguns83 Yeah I've noticed that myself watching reviews of similar rifles, I love look of Ixia and FX Impact etc, but deffo don't look comfy rifles sometimes ha
I don't at all like attaching a bipod to a small piece of rail that forms part of a small housing with a high pressure bottle screwed into it. Or attaching one to the bottle itself for exactly the same reason. To much going on stress wise in those places. Other than that I think it's quite smart looking. Somebody should start a product line in fore end handguards for rifles with these short little rails in front of the trigger guard. I have a kral np03 that also has a similar short rail.
hi people hi dan , a question somebody knows how much shots can do the reximex throne on sub 12 ft/ Lb = 16 joule ? how much shots with just one filling. ?
Hi Alfie! Thanks for getting in touch, on test our rifle achieved 170 full power shots before it began to bleed off. Thanks Alfie and I hope this helps.
Good morning Dan Marks got a new gun its a Reximex but not as wee no it i forget the name of it ah heck iv just watched the video Airgun sniper elite Have a nice day jack. Ps is not about time wee had a new video form you
Nice review there pal only last week I sent my brother a pic of the rifle and said I wonder what that is like, with some of these shrouded barrels do you notice any difference in the turbulent air leaving the barrel with and without an added silencer and does it have any bearing on the groupings I only ask as iv noticed it with other rifles in the past
Hi Alex! Personally in what little testing I've done with the silencer I haven't really noticed any major difference with the silencer off or on. That being said every rifle is different and even the type of silencer can have a massive effect on POI. Thanks Alex and sorry I can't be any more help. All the best.
Pity you didn't try a moderator on the rifle as my mate has one and we have fitted 3 different mods on it and the accuracy is terrible. We shoot 12 inch target cards and with mod fitted it doesn't even hit the card at 25m, accuracy without mod is fine.
Hi Leswado! Hmm.. if three different mods gave the same result I'd be tempted to inspect the thread on the end of the barrel. If it's still under warranty contact Range Right or your RFD and see if you can get a replacement barrel. Exchanging the barrel on the Ixia is an absolute piece of cake. Simply unwind the dial near the power adjuster and the barrel will loosen out. Thanks Leswado and let me know how you get on.
@@bigdansairguns83 >Hi . Tried rifle today at club without mod and grouped ok, tried with mod again and nothing on card, removed shroud and put the mod directly onto barrel and nothing on card. I have read on forums a lot of people have experienced this. Giving up and selling it.
@@bigdansairguns83 Agreed, it's the price and apparent quality of the brand that's got my attention, usually I expect to pay one thousand at minimum usually 1100 to 1300 quid for a decent good quality gun , so these offerings that look good hopefully hold up over time , if they do I know I will own a couple of reximex rifles in the future.
@@aboutthemetal8783 They're a great rifle mate and the Myth/Pretensis/Regime are all getting quite a few fans now. The quality of them is second to none and even stands up against £800 rifles.
@@bigdansairguns83 I'll be honest with you mate , the least expensive rifle I ever bought was a make r ten carbine , about £800.00, it never let me down, however everything else I've ever owned was over 1200, theoben mfr and ttr1, daystate air ranger, air wolf, huntsman Forrester and as mentioned a grey wolf , the other brand I use is FX , make verminator and impact mk2. But as more companies from Eastern Europe and former Soviet Union countries release rifles that appear to be as mechanically competent as the big names but a lot more affordable ,well it has shown just how much the PCP air rifle industry has improved ( especially in the last ten years ) looking at how most guns now come as standard with a regulator Is something most shooters from 10/15 years back never would have seen coming ,a lot of the now big names in the industry looked at regulators as more trouble than they were worth, most PCP rifles had good performing self regulating valves ( as an example look at the Steve Harper slingshot valve that daystate used on their mechanical actions ) the air ranger and huntsman classic , I don't think FX used a regulator on their rifles like the mk 1 and mk 2 gladiators and verminators , and the royales and cyclone rifles, even air arms target rifles didn't use regulators at first and they seemed to be the go to rifles for hft and target shooting , the only high end rifles I can think of today that don't use regulators is the daystate red wolf and delta wolf ,but that's because they have an all electronic action that relies on a solanoid to operate the air delivery and measurement of required air per shot , I still have an airwolf tactical and the electronics have never once failed me , I'm going to have to try one of the more affordable rifles that are becoming just as mechanically advanced as their higher priced counterparts ,I'm paying close attention to the reximex rifles ,I was considering buying an AGT Vulcan mk 2 but they are over £1300, so this year I'm holding off and waiting to see what the long term reliability of the reximex rifles looks like , if it turns out to be good I can see me buying the same model featured in this video by June/July .
I find QYS work best with this rifle, tried a couple of different grains and both can land a full 14 shot magazine pellet on pellet, weighted around tne 9.6 grain level.
Hey Jack! Yep as the saying goes "opinions are like arses.. everyone has one!". I can see why people like this type of rifle but I'd have to disagree... if it had a bit of wood up front and on the rear it'd be a great looking thing. Maybe even a bit like the Walther 2000 marksman rifle.
Hi Robert! We most certainly will be but this was thrust into our hands first and our review Empire got bought the bugger! We'll definitely get it filmed though as it's a great little gun. Thanks Robert and all the best.
Hi the company that builds these air rifles they are value for money when you looked at the rest of the other models of this pcp air rifles that this company is building then you won't go wrong with them, because they are as good or better than some of the higher end prices pcp air rifles out there sir
hello dan, thank you very much for your quick answer, could you please explain something to me? I have a walther rotex rm8 varmint in 7.5 joules I can use it to make 180-200 shots with a 232cc bottle, how is it possible that you can only make 180 shots with the reximex thrones 2 with a 480cc carbon bottle in 12 ft/lb ?
Hello Dan, after your review am after a Cometa 300 in .177 unfortunately they are impossible to find in this country brand new in .177, I've tried 9 different places including all the big companies like Drapers, Pellpax and Shooting Targets, the best I've been offered is an ex display but I turned it down, it has to be brand new, unused and never taken out of the box, am I right in thinking you sell Airguns ? If so do you have a BRAND NEW Cometa 300 in .177 never used and never taken out of the box ?
Re check your footage you will see shots 3 and 7 ricochet back out at what you are saying were flyers,also look at target paper tear is out not in as is normal
Thanks for the confirmation Fugl. I feel better about my shooting abilities (luck) now. It's hard to tell when you're down range but it's easier to see on the camera.
Daft safety catch, how many people with cold, gloved hands are going to accidentally flick that on as they grip the gun then wonder why the thing wont fire?
Just be aware of power changes may happen. As I’m taking the baffles out my shroud to allow for 75mm longer barrel and have my mod screw directly to the barrel.
Hi Richard! We plan on taking a look at all of the Reximex range in the very near future so we'll make sure to get the Regime sorted for you. Thanks Richard and all the best.
@@bigdansairguns83 tidy. I like the Ixia know your not a fan of that look, and I know it’s a budget rifle, but trying to justify it when my local RFD wants £50 to accept a transfer is not going to fly with the wife unfortunately…..
@@Airgunfunrich Hey Richard! If it helps get in touch with us via our "contact us" section of our website and I'll see if I can help at all. Best not to anger the Mrs Richard... things tend to go missing/get cut off!
I thought 5p coin is small so checked its size and it is 18mm in diameter.... From less than 40 meter distance, considering regulator and choked barrel its not that impressive at all. 10mm grouping would be fantastic even without shooting through the same hole. With what you achieved you justify the price of FX, kalibrgun, rti, aa, hw, agt. Close to mid range hunting pcp.
Hi Brat! Considering the outdoor conditions, the fact the rifle isn't run in, the fact that I haven't done a full pellet test and we're sub 12ft-lbs I think that the Ixia did very well for itself indeed. I've owned an AA S410 and loved it. But does it shoot better than an Ixia/Pretensis? Nope. It's prettier and has nicer bluing but it's no better down range. As for FX I currently own a Gladiator Mk 2 and a buddy of mine has an Impact... the Pretensis outshot both. Maybe they were dodgy FX's who knows... but you wouldn't think a rifle that expensive would be "dodgy" nor have an unreliable reputation while these rifles do not... 😉
Hi John! I agree matey when it comes to performance it's an absolute stunner and the build quality is A1. But it just isn't my type of rifle. With some walnut on there then maybe but the meccano look isn't for me neither mate. Thanks John!
That wasn't a flyer Dan, that was a ricochet, card pushed back off the holder. Great review once again.👍
Hey MRD!
That's great to hear matey as it's hard to see back there. We have a piece of wood behind the card holder so I reckon the pellet may have impacted another that was already in the wood. I feel a bit more smug now haha.
Thanks MRD!
I agree the target card wouldn’t come toward you when hit from the front
@@Airgunfunrich Thanks Richard, that answers that one!
Out of the ixia and the xv2 which would you say to be the better gun?
i got this rifle the day of release, check skirts as I've not had any flyers yet I have however iv'e hit more shot on shot pellets (same hole) than I have in my entire life. beautiful rifle amazing looks and performance is top tier for its price
How much are these guns. In the UK. What country are they made in.
12lb 22.
@@rogerward9492 i paid 730 for this model
Had one 2 weeks ago, came directly to my door, on opening it up I realised that the safety lever was jammed solid in the open position, even with over 20 pounds of pressure to flick it into safe position, so it went back, decided to spend a lot more and got Daystate revere, I totally lost confidence in the Ixia which is a shame. I have bought 2 budget rifles in the past a raider12 which is absolutely brilliant and as accurate as anything out to 30yards and zbrioa kosak again great rifle, like you I'm a Springer man at heart and have around 30 which are all German and British, I didn't like the idea of getting bottles filled up, bought a cheap compressor and it works great! So my PCP collection is growing. A styer and air arms Hw included.
Anyone else got a problem like me? Basically buying rifles is out of control 🤣🤣
ow yes i`ve got a growing collection ? i want to buy buy buy lol .... i love my ixia compact , carbon fibre bottle ... it`s as good as FX rifles .... cheers
@@simonnoble7589 Hi Simon, i hear mostly good things regarding these rifles, i must have been unfortunate with mine, very happy to hear another person delighted with their rifle. 👍👍
Dan You need to film More Springers/Gas rams , You have had several PCP's which whilst attractive propositions would probably still leave Me feeling cold , this is another one , if You carry on showing Me such excellent PCP's , You might convince Me to own one , don't get Me wrong if cash was no object their would be several of them at My house and probably at least twice as Many Springers as well . That is a damn fine rifle for the price & I take My hat off to Reximex for doing such a bloody good job for so little cost , I've not seen a bad revue yet on any channel , every presenter has Not surprisingly sung their praises. This rifle is probably the most tempting yet even though it's not furnished with with a lovely wooden stock , if it was ,I probably wouldn't be able to stop Myself . Stop blaming Yourself for weather conditions We understand ( or should do ) Your a damn good shot and I noticed that whilst You did the 40 yard wood plugging the plank You put the target on kept slipping to the right of the screen as every pellet hit perhaps that's why We saw some of that stringing . I always look forward to Your show ( PCP or Not ) catch You next episode Thanks again . Shoot Straight Stay Safe & Stay Well .
Hi Richard!
I agree wholeheartedly mate, this is why the next video is the little Cometa 220 carbine. I'm all PCP'd out, PCP'd off even haha.
It'll be good to get our mitts on a springer again and I want to put some of the limelight on the little Cometa USC laminate too.
Yeah the target was flopping about all over the place to be fair I'm really not a fan of these paper targets... they may work indoors but outside they're a nuisance.
I tell you what's dangerous Richard... and I'm seriously close to adding one to my collection.. have a look at the Reximex Pretensis Walnut. Yes it's a PCP but it's one of the most beautiful rifles I've laid eyes on and it's sensible money for a change.
Thanks Richard and I hope to see you here for our 220 review! It's about time we had a proper gun on eh?
@@bigdansairguns83 Oh I'll be there "virtually% 99% guaranteed - All being well that is , Yes I've seen a couple of revues on the Reximex rifles and carbines , I've not seen many negative comments , mostly the nit picking Your really good at , which is just one of the many reasons I watch ( Besides being a Springer Aficionado & advocate ) , an idea I stolen from some other shooting channel involves using cheap masking tape to tape a target to a cereal box or other suitable bit of card , then filling it with Newspapers or rags (put a suitably sized rock in the bottom to stop it blowing in the wind then when the targets been used tape a fresh one over the top or use bits of the same cheap masking tape to cover a nice group (do it double thick so it retains its ability to show pellet hits without tearing) it's saved Me quite a bit . Mines just a Weetabix box with a flat but heavy stone from the beach on the bottom full of old junk mail & TV listings & old magazines which sits directly in front of My Target Air funnelled pellet trap ( it's really well built with really thick steel and all welded construction rated for .22 long rifle's and not at all dear , Mine cost about £21 about 3 or 4 years ago it's run by a great chap by the name of Lukaz, He do's some excellent inserts to fit , with pictures of virtually all the air gun legal quarry +bullseye type targets of many sorts , I bought 2000 mixed targets at the same time and am still using them ,with the tape method and the box so if any go through then impacts on the steel & are not loud ) Sorry ! that almost turned into an advert blurb for Target Air , but seriously check him out ( He's last I looked he was after retail outlets to sell his products) All this has a safe brick wall back stop and it's ideal at stopping any potential ricochet and keeping the neighbours happy , Really looking forward to the 220 review , and all being well I'll Catch You then .SS, SS & SW

Brilliant review Dan,I think after Christmas I will make a purchase to go with my akela.
Hi Jonathan!
They're a lovely rifle mate and they've made some quality of life improvements since this video too. With the Mk2 the fill probe is a proper size (Hallelujah!!) and they've removed the vented shroud for a more traditional and much quieter shroud.
They're a great gun if you're into adjustability/tactical gear.
a great video the review was very good and like you say i wouldnt like to hunt with it but great for target shooting
Thanks Ian! Yeah if there was something on the front end it wouldn't be so bad but that rail would get uncomfortable after a while. As a target shooter however it'd make a phenomenal rifle.
Well presented and informative as I've have found with all your videos. Keep it up.
Thanks Shooter!
Great review Dan. Had mine for 2 weeks now..laughed at the magazine comment as caught me out for a while! interested at your regulator comment as mine is running at 140, must get it on the chrono. Found Air Arms and Hades to be spot on so far up to 35 yards. Loving the Ixia so far, keep up the good work.
Hi, I'm considering buying one of these in the next few weeks , how long have you had yours ,and have you had any issues?
Hey Andy!
It'll catch you out won't it haha. I know it's evil but I do love letting customers try and suss out how it's loaded.
Is yours .177 or .22 Andy? I know that RR do set up each rifle that comes in so perhaps that is where your particular rifle runs sweetest. A chrono check certainly wouldn't hurt.
Thanks Andy and let me know how you get on.
Not 100% sold on this one , kinda had it on my list too buy for a while , I dunno , got a few weeks before the shooting show , guessing they'll have one there so I can see it in the flesh ... like the MYTH as well , so much to choose from these days , superb review as always , glad to have you back again on the telly ..
Thanks Mark!
Yeah I'm not sold on the looks still... you do fall in love with it the longer you play with it as it's a solid bit of kit... that action feels like a £1500 setup it's beautiful.

the only concern for me is the weight,surely they could get this down around 6.5lbs great review Dan
Hey Skip!
It's definitely up there on the scales but to its credit it does shoulder incredibly well. I actually like the weight as it gives the rifle a really solid feel and the rifle isn't designed to be a walked up shooter as such.
Still though... shaving a few lbs wouldn't hurt. I could do with the same!!

@@bigdansairguns83 Good to hear from you. Have a good evening and wud like to talk via LIVE by SreamYard about airguns with you and friends one day.
I like this style of rifle, and am more in the budget to purchase, I have the Kral NP02, and love it apart from the wood I prefer composite bodies but after using it I bought it, it is heavy mind and still working through different pellets to see its best results, but yep the weather has slowed me down as I have another hobby not a cheap one so my rifle fun takes second place but at least a lot of the time where I go I am able to indulge both my hobbies.
I think it is as good as my Kral performance wise but a little more expensive my sites are more expensive than the rifle, and due to having two air chambers I get cramp long before the air runs out a pig to air up if I use the pump you get back ache and repetative strain disorder so looking to get a bottle to use. Where can I get a look at the range of Reximex rifles.
Hey Nick!
The NP02's are excellent little guns and I can't wait to review one. They just offer so much for such little money.
For a look at the Reximex rifles you can see them on our website here: www.bigdansairguns.co.uk/Reximex.php
The Pretensis Walnut is a thing of absolute beauty and the Myth may look "Interesting" for you.
Fantastic review great looking rifle I would love one of them. Thanks for the great video but please don’t did the cheap Daystates.
It's a genuinely nice rifle mate to be fair it's still not my cup of tea but it was really starting to grow on me. everything on it just feels right (barring the lack of a forestock).

I like Mark's channel , he's a smart guy
@@markhomer5704 thanks mark there was a mistake in the distance the shots were 90ys
Spot on review Dan, very interesting gun to challenge the BIG Boys, no adjustments like an fx but for sub £700 I think a great alternative, are the mags kral np02 looks exactly the same, keep up the great work bud, keep punching that paper 👍👍👍
Hey Target Time!
Thanks for the kind comment it means a lot. The mags are the same as found on the Benjamin rifles, a very similar design to Kral but a bit thinner.
It's a great rifle and I can see it being incredibly popular... now if only they could give it a proper stock with some walnut....mmmmm...
@@bigdansairguns83 can't beat a bit of timber Dan 👍
The ixia (mine anyway) does have a tight choke, noticed this after polishing my barrel and pushing pellets through, polishing it made it less pellet fussy tbf
Nice fair review Dan as ever. I like you am a bit more of a traditionalist That being said I do like the look of some of their range. Good to see that someone is taking on the big guys and at last offering some quality guns at a realistic price 👍can you tell me who makes the barrel?
Hey Garry!
I'm glad you liked the video. Yeah it's not entirely my cup of tea but it was growing on me as the days went by. My eyes are on the Pretensis walnut though... gorgeous thing.
The barrel is Reximex's own I believe and it's a testament to how good the Turkish barrels are now. Even the little NP02's are starting to embarrass some of the big name brands down range... that's another little rifle I have to get around to reviewing!
@@bigdansairguns83 Hi Dan, I am thinking about a Ixia but in .25 to be used for short range rat control. Thinking about the impending loss of lead pellets I am thinking that the higher mass of non lead .25 may help with accuracy. Anyway do you carry this rifle at .25 in stock if not what is the wait time. Cheers Dan.
The law actually says any external power adjuster on the MUST only be able to produce the max. 12 ftlb. So it hasn't been removed so don't accidentally increase the power, it has been removed because they are legally required to do so. It's a bit of a nonsense really as any external adjustable regulator is easy and simple to overcome. It just means you have to empty then refill the bottle. It is easier than that on some guns with external hammers like the Shin Sung Career. For obvious reasons I am not going to explain the process but it makes a bloody nonsense of the legal requirements regarding construction. Any Shin Sung owner knows exactly what I mean. Some things really do need to be tightened up in the VCR Act.
BTW. I am with you 110% on this style of gun. It all started with the Steyr 100 which, in all honesty is actually quite smart compared to some. Many call the Steyr a 'Meccano' gun, the Airforce and Gunpower style 'Drainpipe' guns and this type 'Lego' guns. You cannot lovingly oil the grain on one of those utilitarian beasts like you can a nice piece of Walnut, Beech or Rosewood and get any form of therapeutic relaxation out of it. To me owning a nice gun is more than just accuracy. I like to see them on my wall racks with that defined grain pattern. How do you get any fun out of looking at black anodised aluminium? I must just be old fashioned. I do have a Gunpower Shadow 2 as I have previously discussed but as you know, not out of choice. Now fettled, yes it is an absolute tack driver with that Lothar Walther barrel but it is absolutely soul-less, a pig to cycle and thoroughly uninspiring. It is just functional.....well it is now the ridiculous valve problem has bee sorted. It was given to me as, so the owner thought, impossible to legalise and impossible to sell. I love a challenge. I spent less than £90 on reg and smaller bottle and voila. Now it's done I may well just give it him back though he hasn't really asked for it but I just do not like it. Now if I had the inclination to source a walnut blank I'm pretty sure I could make a nice job of it, well at least the forestock but that bloody bottle and that awful breech would still be an eyesore. Give me a nice Stutzen....any day.
Bought an reximex accura for £399 well impressed with it.
If it's reliable over time and it stays accurate ,I can see a lot of shooters that like the idea of an impact but they just won't pay the massive price tag buying these as a cheaper alternative ,I'm going to watch out for these .
Hey matey! I think that's where these are really going to shine. The build of them is spot on, the only potential cause for concern would be the regulator but from what I've seen from the little MiTo's reg there hasn't been any reliability problems. From what I can see so far Reximex seem to be on a winner.
It's definitley got my attention, but I don't buy first runs of new to market rifles anymore ( I've learned the hard wary )
When ever I've brought a brand new air rifle that's a complete new model and brand new design I've had nothing but trouble ,logun s16 evo( a s16 MK3 essentially), FX verminator make( very first run) an FX impact mk1( first batch to come to UK market) and a couple of other expensive ( so called high end) ,mechanics going wrong,seals leaking or bursting, with the mk2 verminator accuracy was the issue ,FX had just purchased the smooth twist design from Ben Taylor( former top man at theoben) the .177 smooth twist barrels in sub 12 UK power levels were so bad ,it really shocked me that FX had released a gun to market without paying much attention to the .177 at sub 12 levels .
They only tested the higher power models in .177 ,they were great at 18 fpe , but when they were at 11.5 it was shockingly bad ,took me 8 months to finally get what I had paid for, as for the mkq impact, none stop leaking after I'd put 3 tins of pellets through it.
It would leak from the regulator,I'd send it back to the then distributor ,ASI,it would be fixed and I'd take it out shoot a couple of mags and it would start leaking in a totally different area of the gun ,not connected or anything to do with the regulator ,it was without doubt the most frustrating disappointing rifle I'd ever owned in my life ,and at £1600 it's not like it was a budget gun,quality control on that rifle was abysmal , the companies only find out what problems a totally new rifle will develop when they go on sale and us shooters start shooting , ive noticed it on every new release from 95% of the manufacturers , from budget, mid range to the most expensive PCP money can buy , so when something arrives on the market I watch it for at minimum 12 months , it's saved me a lot of time and money ,patience is the key when buying a new air rifle .
@@aboutthemetal8783 Sadly I've heard this quite a lot about FX.. they're a very clever rifle but the reliability on them needs serious work. To their defence an O-ring is an O-ring but they just have so many of them in their rifles!
It's a good approach to wait a bit, so far we've not had a single failure with an Ixia (or Reximex) but they've not long been on the market. We'll see what the future brings!
Great video, not my sort of gun, if you could do a review of the walnut pretensis I'd be a little bit more than interested

Sounds like it might just be a bit pellet fussy, let it lead itself in with JSB and then see what she can really do.
@@bigdansairguns83 don’t get me wrong am more than happy with rifle but I did notice the pellets it didn’t like felt notchy when loading may try single shot tray this weekend but got more JSB coming so will be happy for a while yet 😊. Keep up the good work with the reviews 👍
Look look of both Ixia and Regime especially since I shoot lefthanded, can't get many rifles that swap over heck most of the more expensive rifles have to be bought in a special left handed version just to get a stock that works, but I think Regime wins for me being nearly £200 cheaper and still a good enough hunting/plinking gun
Hi SyncR.
The Regime is an excellent little rifle and I definitely look forward to reviewing one. I find the Regime more comfortable to shoulder.. the Ixia and the other "tacticool" rifles seem to completely ignore the forestock so your hand either rests on a rail or the cold bottle. Not ideal in the winter!
The Ixia is still a great rifle however and like the Regime can be swapped from right to left handed.
Thanks SnycR!
@@bigdansairguns83 Yeah I've noticed that myself watching reviews of similar rifles, I love look of Ixia and FX Impact etc, but deffo don't look comfy rifles sometimes ha
I don't at all like attaching a bipod to a small piece of rail that forms part of a small housing with a high pressure bottle screwed into it. Or attaching one to the bottle itself for exactly the same reason. To much going on stress wise in those places. Other than that I think it's quite smart looking. Somebody should start a product line in fore end handguards for rifles with these short little rails in front of the trigger guard. I have a kral np03 that also has a similar short rail.
Hi Steven!
I agree absolutely. Give me a proper forestock every day over a skinny rail next to the bottle.
Can this be comfortably shot left handed with the mag being so far out?
hi people hi dan , a question somebody knows how much shots can do the reximex throne on
sub 12 ft/ Lb = 16 joule ? how much shots with just one filling. ?
Hi Alfie!
Thanks for getting in touch, on test our rifle achieved 170 full power shots before it began to bleed off.
Thanks Alfie and I hope this helps.
Good morning Dan Marks got a new gun its a Reximex but not as wee no it i forget the name of it ah heck iv just watched the video Airgun sniper elite Have a nice day jack. Ps is not about time wee had a new video form you
Nice review there pal only last week I sent my brother a pic of the rifle and said I wonder what that is like, with some of these shrouded barrels do you notice any difference in the turbulent air leaving the barrel with and without an added silencer and does it have any bearing on the groupings I only ask as iv noticed it with other rifles in the past
Hi Alex!
Personally in what little testing I've done with the silencer I haven't really noticed any major difference with the silencer off or on. That being said every rifle is different and even the type of silencer can have a massive effect on POI.
Thanks Alex and sorry I can't be any more help.
All the best.
Pity you didn't try a moderator on the rifle as my mate has one and we have fitted 3 different mods on it and the accuracy is terrible. We shoot 12 inch target cards and with mod fitted it doesn't even hit the card at 25m, accuracy without mod is fine.
Hi Leswado!
Hmm.. if three different mods gave the same result I'd be tempted to inspect the thread on the end of the barrel. If it's still under warranty contact Range Right or your RFD and see if you can get a replacement barrel. Exchanging the barrel on the Ixia is an absolute piece of cake. Simply unwind the dial near the power adjuster and the barrel will loosen out.
Thanks Leswado and let me know how you get on.
@@bigdansairguns83 >Hi . Tried rifle today at club without mod and grouped ok, tried with mod again and nothing on card, removed shroud and put the mod directly onto barrel and nothing on card. I have read on forums a lot of people have experienced this. Giving up and selling it.
Can you do a review of the reximex myth please Dan , also another tasty offering from the reximex lads.
It shall be done Metal.
I want to do the entire Reximex range if I can. Especially the Pretensis walnut... my god that's just gun porn.
@@bigdansairguns83
Agreed, it's the price and apparent quality of the brand that's got my attention, usually I expect to pay one thousand at minimum usually 1100 to 1300 quid for a decent good quality gun , so these offerings that look good hopefully hold up over time , if they do I know I will own a couple of reximex rifles in the future.
@@aboutthemetal8783 They're a great rifle mate and the Myth/Pretensis/Regime are all getting quite a few fans now. The quality of them is second to none and even stands up against £800 rifles.
@@bigdansairguns83
I'll be honest with you mate , the least expensive rifle I ever bought was a make r ten carbine , about £800.00, it never let me down, however everything else I've ever owned was over 1200, theoben mfr and ttr1, daystate air ranger, air wolf, huntsman Forrester and as mentioned a grey wolf , the other brand I use is FX , make verminator and impact mk2.
But as more companies from Eastern Europe and former Soviet Union countries release rifles that appear to be as mechanically competent as the big names but a lot more affordable ,well it has shown just how much the PCP air rifle industry has improved ( especially in the last ten years ) looking at how most guns now come as standard with a regulator Is something most shooters from 10/15 years back never would have seen coming ,a lot of the now big names in the industry looked at regulators as more trouble than they were worth, most PCP rifles had good performing self regulating valves ( as an example look at the Steve Harper slingshot valve that daystate used on their mechanical actions ) the air ranger and huntsman classic , I don't think FX used a regulator on their rifles like the mk 1 and mk 2 gladiators and verminators , and the royales and cyclone rifles, even air arms target rifles didn't use regulators at first and they seemed to be the go to rifles for hft and target shooting , the only high end rifles I can think of today that don't use regulators is the daystate red wolf and delta wolf ,but that's because they have an all electronic action that relies on a solanoid to operate the air delivery and measurement of required air per shot , I still have an airwolf tactical and the electronics have never once failed me ,
I'm going to have to try one of the more affordable rifles that are becoming just as mechanically advanced as their higher priced counterparts ,I'm paying close attention to the reximex rifles ,I was considering buying an AGT Vulcan mk 2 but they are over £1300, so this year I'm holding off and waiting to see what the long term reliability of the reximex rifles looks like , if it turns out to be good I can see me buying the same model featured in this video by June/July .
I find QYS work best with this rifle, tried a couple of different grains and both can land a full 14 shot magazine pellet on pellet, weighted around tne 9.6 grain level.
Would rather have something like this or an impact over any wooden stock rifle
Hey Jack!
Yep as the saying goes "opinions are like arses.. everyone has one!". I can see why people like this type of rifle but I'd have to disagree... if it had a bit of wood up front and on the rear it'd be a great looking thing. Maybe even a bit like the Walther 2000 marksman rifle.
@@bigdansairguns83 are you a fan of the ATG Uragans?
@@jackking9271 Hey Jack!
The AGT rifles are excellent. CZ barrels and very very well made actions. You definitely wouldn't go wrong with one.
I thought you were doing a review of the kral empire
Hi Robert!
We most certainly will be but this was thrust into our hands first and our review Empire got bought the bugger!
We'll definitely get it filmed though as it's a great little gun.
Thanks Robert and all the best.
Hi the company that builds these air rifles they are value for money when you looked at the rest of the other models of this pcp air rifles that this company is building then you won't go wrong with them, because they are as good or better than some of the higher end prices pcp air rifles out there sir
hello dan, thank you very much for your quick answer, could you please explain something to me? I have a walther rotex rm8 varmint in 7.5 joules I can use it to make 180-200 shots with a 232cc bottle, how is it possible that you can only make 180 shots with the reximex thrones 2 with a 480cc carbon bottle in 12 ft/lb ?
Hello Dan, after your review am after a Cometa 300 in .177 unfortunately they are impossible to find in this country brand new in .177, I've tried 9 different places including all the big companies like Drapers, Pellpax and Shooting Targets, the best I've been offered is an ex display but I turned it down, it has to be brand new, unused and never taken out of the box, am I right in thinking you sell Airguns ? If so do you have a BRAND NEW Cometa 300 in .177 never used and never taken out of the box ?
Re check your footage you will see shots 3 and 7 ricochet back out at what you are saying were flyers,also look at target paper tear is out not in as is normal
Thanks for the confirmation Fugl. I feel better about my shooting abilities (luck) now. It's hard to tell when you're down range but it's easier to see on the camera.
Daft safety catch, how many people with cold, gloved hands are going to accidentally flick that on as they grip the gun then wonder why the thing wont fire?
Hey Chris!
I agree.. after everything else is so well thought out the safety is a bit of a let down. I couldn't let that one go.
Looks an awesome rifle and a bargain for the price compared to others.
Very entertaining 😀 liked and subscribed. Does this pcp have interchangeable barrels (calibers)?
Thanks Rick it means a lot!
Sadly in the UK the barrels aren't interchangeable however they are abroad I believe.
Thanks Rick and all the best!
They are available now. I’m getting either a CZ or leuther in mine. Same calibre. You can change calibre but need to buy a new probe kit.
Just be aware of power changes may happen. As I’m taking the baffles out my shroud to allow for 75mm longer barrel and have my mod screw directly to the barrel.
Could you do a review of the Reximex regime/apex in the not too distant?
Hi Richard!
We plan on taking a look at all of the Reximex range in the very near future so we'll make sure to get the Regime sorted for you.
Thanks Richard and all the best.
@@bigdansairguns83 tidy. I like the Ixia know your not a fan of that look, and I know it’s a budget rifle, but trying to justify it when my local RFD wants £50 to accept a transfer is not going to fly with the wife unfortunately…..

I can't find a dealer here in the USA
Do a swap for my Evanix S10 pickup .22 Dan.
Haha Hi Wayne!
When I get an Ixia in it'll have your name on it mate. 😉
@@bigdansairguns83 Or the pretensis
Ps, the case! Are you stocking/selling them, link.
Hi Henry!
We do indeed get in touch with us at bigdansairguns.co.uk and we'll see if we can get one in for you.
Thanks Henry and all the best.
I thought 5p coin is small so checked its size and it is 18mm in diameter.... From less than 40 meter distance, considering regulator and choked barrel its not that impressive at all. 10mm grouping would be fantastic even without shooting through the same hole. With what you achieved you justify the price of FX, kalibrgun, rti, aa, hw, agt. Close to mid range hunting pcp.
Hi Brat!
Considering the outdoor conditions, the fact the rifle isn't run in, the fact that I haven't done a full pellet test and we're sub 12ft-lbs I think that the Ixia did very well for itself indeed.
I've owned an AA S410 and loved it. But does it shoot better than an Ixia/Pretensis? Nope. It's prettier and has nicer bluing but it's no better down range.
As for FX I currently own a Gladiator Mk 2 and a buddy of mine has an Impact... the Pretensis outshot both. Maybe they were dodgy FX's who knows... but you wouldn't think a rifle that expensive would be "dodgy" nor have an unreliable reputation while these rifles do not... 😉
In the UK you cannot call a gun 'Throne' 🚽, the piss taking would be huge ! :)
Hey Darren.
Hahaha that's true! The Australian version could be called the Thunderbox.
:)
Not my cup of tea to industrial for me … 100 percent sure it’s a good gun it’s just looks sorry mate … blinding review though mate as always 👍🏻
Hi John!
I agree matey when it comes to performance it's an absolute stunner and the build quality is A1. But it just isn't my type of rifle. With some walnut on there then maybe but the meccano look isn't for me neither mate.
Thanks John!
Poor mans impact
I prefer the term "Smart man's Impact" 😉
@@bigdansairguns83 😄
Just seen this comment 🤦 I didn't want an impact I wanted the ixia i like an under dog and I'm over the moon with my choice
