Thanks so much for the kind words. If work and life buys and bobs didn’t get in the way, I’d be spending more time shooting this and getting to know it better. It’s such a delight to shoot.
well that’s a stunner mate . i really do like that rifle . oh yes as we well know it’s all about the pellet . especially when shooting that type of comp a mm can make a difference on your score . it still amazes me what difference a pellet can make through a barrel. normal plinking you don’t mind so much but when your trying to shoot a card or one whole groups it certainly does
Thanks for the comment Paul. You’re so right. It’s all about the pellet. I do feel that even though this XTI likes the Rangemaster Sovereigns, there’s a pellet out there I haven’t tried yet which it may like better
Hi Zuby, pleased your testing all went well. Can only see it getting better & better with use. You did very well with the Bull Run for your first time. It's a stunning rifle and very capable. Nice one
Thanks for the comment Brandon. All being well this thing will get better and just like trying the Express Diablos you have, I’m Sure there’s other pellets out there that it may like better than the Rangemaster Sovereigns. Let’s see. Also thanks for your comment on the Bull Run; hope Keith agrees with Duanne on the score, the it is a good start, which I’m pleased at :)
I had the same falcon scope maybe I was unlucky but I found it terrible, I used to own a big nikko stirling diamond back which was far superior but its all down to our eyes no doubt, I have had some very expensive scope that to be honest wasn't any better for my eyes than a hawke sidewinder ffp that cost £600 but I love the xti50 what a bit of kit glad your loving it keep up the awesome videos 😊
I would agree with the instant gratification thing but as I said, they help with my poor eyesight and more importantly, flipping them over you get to see the grouping on a plain white background, unhindered by the ‘splatter’
@@zubysan put a 4mm Allen key (the flats) in the opening of stripper so it’s flat against end of barrel and carefully ease the cone so it just touches the other side of the Allen key will give you a great starting point👍
@@glynnmounce2968 it’s not actually trial and error what your trying to achieve is to get the head of the pellet (widest part) to just enter the cone before the rear of skirt to leave the barrel.
Thanks for the comment. I use the splatter targets as it helps with my eyesight at distances beyond 25yards. I’ll do some cards without them for the next video and I’ll see if I can get the score card I did for the bull run, as that had some good practice groups I did
I got the same case with my Kymira, I can’t understand why Air Arms did not do cases with these rifles to allow scope attached. Beautiful rifle though.
I've put approx 4k pellets through my XTi-50 now and mine seems to like the lighter pellets, I predominantly shoot 25 yard indoor BR and shot 3 x 250 cards this week with JSB Express 7.87 (Had the week off work 😊)
@@zubysan I couldn’t justify that amount on a sub 12 air rifle .. and the fact you can’t scope it up an get it in the case is reminding me of the Reximex Ixia
@@Airgunfunrich I see your point. Admittedly it would have been good to have the case already kitted out so it could accommodate the rifle with a scope.
Hi mate I commented on your other video with the epic two , but if my budget could stretch to the xti50 over say the redwolf which would you pick ? Tough choice I know !
Hi mate. Are you asking about the XTi vs the Red Wolf RD Limited Edition? If so it’s a real tough call because both are amazing. It would have to be try before you buy and also consider one is mechanical and one is electronic. So there’s your preference for which to consider there too…
@@zubysan yeah or the standard redwolf. There is so much choice I need to be able test a lot of them out before parting with my hard earned. But any advice is welcome , the new fx look great too but always skeptical of the reliability etc
@@zubysanthanks..I have a Red wolf Safari on the way. I'm just getting accustomed to my Alpha Wolf Safari. Liking the brand so was thinking the GP could be the next purchase.. but this Air Arms looks interesting too.
@@zubysan that’s why I removed all anti tamper so I could open the 3mm TP fully and tune power on hammer 👍 Consistency remains same 4-8 fps and I have a lighter cocking lever plus less stressed gun because TP isn’t half blocked off and hammer wound up.. I get 140+ shots from a 205bar fill👌
Such an impressive bit of kit! I'm sure you're going to love being the proud owner of such a machine! Keep up the great work 👍

Love that LD stock!! I reckon this one will be a keeper ! Thanks for content
Splatter targets are terrible for analyzing group performance. They are really meant for amateurs who want instant gratification.
I would agree with the instant gratification thing but as I said, they help with my poor eyesight and more importantly, flipping them over you get to see the grouping on a plain white background, unhindered by the ‘splatter’
Or just for fun...you can still see the holes esp if they're all within a 5p piece.
Air stripper adjustment can help tighten the groups once you find a good pellet
Thanks Glynn. What types of adjustment would you suggest starting with, with the stripper?
@@zubysan put a 4mm Allen key (the flats) in the opening of stripper so it’s flat against end of barrel and carefully ease the cone so it just touches the other side of the Allen key will give you a great starting point👍
Move it in 1 mill at a time shoot groups to see what happens or out trial and error I guess
@@glynnmounce2968 it’s not actually trial and error what your trying to achieve is to get the head of the pellet (widest part) to just enter the cone before the rear of skirt to leave the barrel.
Lovely rifle but you need to be shooting groups on plain card splatter targets don’t give a true size and its hard to see the edges of the group
Thanks for the comment. I use the splatter targets as it helps with my eyesight at distances beyond 25yards. I’ll do some cards without them for the next video and I’ll see if I can get the score card I did for the bull run, as that had some good practice groups I did
Hi I was at atherton on Friday and there is a card with a 270 that has no name on it is this your card
I got the same case with my Kymira, I can’t understand why Air Arms did not do cases with these rifles to allow scope attached. Beautiful rifle though.
Your going to have to try competitive shooting with that belter mate,it's what she was built to do👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎
Lol Alan...Need to pluck up the courage and confidence to do that mate :) Let's see

For the price it should have a factory shroud, no need for the loud report.
It ought to be all that and more for the price tbh
I was hoping for it to make me toast in the morning, but I’ll settle for a great shooting experience backed by great looks

Just carry a soft cloth to protect the barrel and stripper when filling.

Nice!
Thanks. I'm lucky in having been able to get the LE Black Grey
@@zubysan I’ve phoned around but looks like I’ll have to get the black laminate….
Would you rate this or the Daystate Grand Prix as the better gun?
Whilst I don’t have a grand prize but have my limited RD Red Wolf, it’s a close one to be honest. Let me get back to you.
@@zubysanthanks..I have a Red wolf Safari on the way. I'm just getting accustomed to my Alpha Wolf Safari. Liking the brand so was thinking the GP could be the next purchase.. but this Air Arms looks interesting too.
Poor review to be honest.. fantastic rifle, what everyone wants to see is it in action...not just seeing it in the box..
That will be over 12 with JSB 10.34 like mine then 😁
Tried a couple of 10.34's and yep, its not for the rifle 😁

@@Sae-fu5ch how much was you able to turn the hammer spring down after opening the tp wide open mate?
For ten years, AA could not produce an innovative new product. Only change the design of hood
You need some better lighting mate, content good lighting not so good.
Thanks for the comment. I normally have another light source but unfortunately on this occasion it wasn’t working.
