Reximex Lyra-K .177 review-Big Dan's Airguns.

[@stephengamble9388]

Quite possibly the most thorough, unbiased rereviews on KZbin. Well done. Not a bad rifle either.

[@bigdansairguns83]

Thanks Stephen! I do try to say it as I see it. Even if I've upset people in the past... It's a great little gun the Lyra-K and I couldn't help but fall in love with it.

[@Steve24339]

My wife and I have the original. Hers in .177, mine in .22. lovely guns and very accurate. Nice review Dan as usual.

[@bigdansairguns83]

They're a lovely gun aren't they Steve? Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you're enjoying your Lyra's!

[@iwanvanderhut4159]

Great looking gun when all setup with a scope and silencer. Great review.

[@bigdansairguns83]

I agree thanks Iwan. The pictures online make it look a little fugly.

[@FrostiTheRoadman]

Nice review mate and what a rifle that proved to be my original Lyra was unbelievable for the money and would single hole at 30 yards but think you got an unreal barrel on that one.

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hey Frosti! Reximex make a good barrel, it sounds like yours is shooting pretty exceptionally too. It's rifles like these that make me completely lose interest in the "premium" gear.

[@yetiwheeler7972]

Morning Dan hope all's good your End and nice to see you Back again. I bought an aftermarket single shot tray for my Lyra. Well worth the Money as I use it as a Target Gun 🤔

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hey Yeti! They're a great gun the Lyra whether big or small, I don't blame you for the aftermarket SS tray the standard ones are a bit too fiddly for their own good. Now if only they'd make a shorter cylinder Lyra with a reg and slightly cut the LOP back..

[@mikebird8290]

Thanks SIR I got mine delivered on Saturday and like you I'm VERY IMPRESSED 🎯🇬🇧👍🏼

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hey Mike! They're brilliant aren't they? Also much prettier in the flesh than in the pictures. Have you tried FTT in yours? Baracuda 8 could be a great choice too.

[@Theshropshireratter]

How you finding it do you use for pests or target

[@mikebird8290]

@Theshropshireratter I'm very impressed I mainly use for pest control but took it to the range to get feel for it and wow I'm very happy and what good value 🎯🇬🇧👍🏼

[@Theshropshireratter]

@mikebird8290 sweet thank you fast reply thinking about one as its short for ratting in and around the buildings on the farm

[@mikebird8290]

@Theshropshireratter I'm positive you will NOT be disappointed it's a great value very accurate and handles beautifully 🎯👍🏼

[@robertshears8385]

Impressive performance with this budget pcp. Enjoyable review as always.

[@bigdansairguns83]

Thanks Robert! It's a fantastic little gun isn't it?

[@robertshears8385]

@@bigdansairguns83 It does seem fantastic.

[@barrywebber100]

Great review with great humour! Thanks for posting.

[@stigg333]

Great review and a great gun especially at that price.

[@bigdansairguns83]

Can't complain for £370 eh Stigg?

[@derekwatson8568]

Yes i like my lyra But only after i relegated mags and loader to back of drawer and replaced them with some quality after market ones.

[@bigdansairguns83]

The mags I haven't had any major issues with the SS tray absolutely. That said the 3d printed gear is excellent these days and I wouldn't be surprised if the mags were more slick.

[@PiperX1X]

Great review Dan, I have the Myth which I bought a couple of months ago and for the price it's a smashing little back up ratting rifle. What more do you need they are a great value for money. I must admit first glance I did think it was ugly but it's already growing on me.

[@bigdansairguns83]

Thanks Piper! I need to get the Myth filmed, especially the new walnut version. It'd make an interested comparison vs the Kral NP02. It's not the prettiest rifle on the market as you've said but it's designed as a working gun. Something it does very very well!

[@allanwilliams2768]

Great review, I bought my Pretensis off the back of your review and took a punt on a Kuzey K600 before you had reviewed it and love that gun as well although it has a leak at the moment.I would be interested in a Lyra K if a reg could be fitted.

[@TheSnafflepup]

Kinda split on this one I really like the look of it but my experience in with particular RR and 3 Turkish guns I've owned and all three lasted less than 3 days in total before breaking puts me off. Great video and content as always Dan keep up the great work.

[@bigdansairguns83]

Thanks Snafflepup!

[@ProperRural]

Great little pcp mate

[@bigdansairguns83]

It's not a bad little gun is it? One of the best rifles I've ever filmed in the shoulder.

[@MrRockstar1968]

Oddly enough I had 4 shots through the exact same hole at 25 yards last night at my local shooting range with my Weihrauch HW99S IMK MK2 break barrel rifle. Also had a 10mm x5 shot group at 30 meters last weekend.

[@winstonchurchill6506]

Good Lordy is it the morning of to work…nice video sir

[@bigdansairguns83]

Thanks Winnie. Tell me about it... I had this uploaded at around 12am off memory. Fun! 😉 As long as you enjoy it that's all that matters.

[@nickpurdy3096]

Hey Dan. C'mon, you know spring is King. Are you planning on a review of the new SMK XS24? C'mon, you know it makes sense.

[@bigdansairguns83]

Spring is king I couldn't have said it better myself. If I can get my mitts on one I'd gladly do a review on an XS24, I've been looking at them for quite a while they're a nice looking gun.

[@saberraider]

precious bit of kit, it is a shame we cant get them in mexico... i long for a 4.5 adjustable little unit... this is it...

[@nickwebb9290]

Another one of your excellent reviews Dan 👍 Seems to me Reximex are currently producing good PCP’s at very good prices and this new Lyra K shows this to be true. I have a Regime .22 which (fingers crossed 😉) has been reliable, tough and a pleasure to use. Out of interest what Chrono do you use?

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hey Nick! I use the Caldwell chronograph, I'd argue the best accessible chrono on the market and very easy to use. I do like the Regime, I wasn't a fan of its looks originally but it actually serves a purpose unlike most. Shoulders beautifully too and like you've said Nick they're a reliable little monster too.

[@nickwebb9290]

@@bigdansairguns83 Thanks for the prompt reply Dan. Funnily enough it’s one of them that’s been on my radar, pricey but obviously does the job well. Cheers 👍

[@stephenlewis6903]

Another excellent video my friend. These Turkish guns certainly are improving and putting some 'higher end rifles' to shame. Will you be stocking the Lyra K in .25? Asking for a friend😉

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hi Stephen. I absolutely will mate I'll be updating the website now. It'd make a cracking .25 ratter!

[@stephenlewis6903]

@@bigdansairguns83 excellent😍. I'll also make a good 25M squirrel feeder rifle 👍

[@stevebrace7397]

could you do a backup video with slugs please

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hi Steve. That's a great idea however I'm not 100% after speaking to the importer if the barrel is suited for slugs unfortunately.

[@Theshropshireratter]

Honey dans uploaded not gonna be able pay rent this week

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hahaha hey don't blame me I like my head on my shoulders thank you!

[@99ron30]

Hey Big Dan, any chance of you getting hold of an Umarex Iconix for review?. It's the cheapest PCP rifle currently available I believe.

[@lerosh2226]

Hiya Dan,,,would have liked you to try the Marksman again at 50as the ones you yried some were netter at longer range,,, obviously i like the Marksman,,amd the pointed are a little heavier,in .22 its 1/10 gram,,and they work,,,rgds LesRobert

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hi Les! I'll see if I can give em a whirl in the next video. I do have a soft spot for the Marksman pellets.

[@jesterstuds3564]

I’ve just purchased the .22 put it through the coronagraph after shooting about 250 pellets. The maximum is 10.1 with the exact same pellets it’s supposed to have done in the spec sheet to come with saying it was shooting at 11.5 total crap not happy at all.

[@steviejohn22]

From1 numb nuts too another great video but on the fence with the look . 👍

[@OldNavajoTricks]

I don't suppose that bottle is removeable from the get go? 🤘

[@GjVj]

*Very* impressive groups! I like the looks, too. Like a... wave. Techno-organic. Not in the market or anything, but really enjoyed the review. Nice one!

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hey mate! It's a lovely little gun isn't it? I didn't expect to fall in love with it as much as I did!

[@GjVj]

@@bigdansairguns83 Hey Dan - appreciate the reply! Think we share a preference for trad-looking springers (LOVE my HW77K), so if it's won you over, then there's got to be something going on. If it shoots sweet groups _and_ looks good doing it, then that's a winner, imo. Bit of context: shot airguns when I was younger, recently got back into the sport as I approach geezerdom (seem to be quite a few of us about) so PCP's still seem odd and new-fangled to me, lol. However, the lack of recoil intrigues me, for the accuracy benefits. I only punch paper, and only for my own amusement, btw - and my '77 is a lot more accurate than I am. Slowly getting there, though... Cheers! :)

[@user-ze4fc2gx3q]

Hi Dan.A bit of a ugly duckling but what great shot count and fantastic power output very impressive indeed.And the music was great to during the test.👍

[@bigdansairguns83]

Thanks bud! It's a nice little gun isn't it?

[@user-ze4fc2gx3q]

@bigdansairguns83 yes Dan the accuracy was good aswell looking forward to your next review.

[@greyhound0z]

Hi, I'm looking at this rifle and the walther rotex rm8 varmint uc 177 what would you say

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hi Greyhound, that's a difficult one as both are excellent rifles. For me I'd personally pick the Lyra-K. It's lighter, every bit as accurate and in my opinion has the superior trigger. The Rotex has a better shot count but the regulators are also quite slow to recharge so you'll need to wait 10-15 seconds per shot for consistent power. I think the Lyra takes it personally and it should leave change for accessories too.

[@greyhound0z]

@bigdansairguns83 thanks I did goy for the lyra k

[@anthonydowns5377]

I'm a but confused. 750 feet per second in a 177? That's low for .22. What's going on there? The umarex notos is shooting 700 fps but is anemic for squirrels. Would this in .22 be an upgrade? Also how quiet is this rifle?

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hi Anthony! I'm guessing you may be from the U.S. In the UK we're limited to 12ft-lbs without a license. The rifle isn't quiet without a silencer but you have 1/2UNF thread on the barrel.

[@snd7622]

You should test accuracy properly Dan with rifle secured as it should be on the table.

[@gannetpontjowinoto6733]

agree with you Dan .. when I see it without scope 0:20 .. it's ugly, imho.

[@bigdansairguns83]

Oh absolutely and the stock images on the net don't help. That said when it's scoped up and you have a can on the end it all comes together I think.

[@gannetpontjowinoto6733]

@bigdansairguns83 thanks big-Dan ... didn't expect to get a reply from you for my comment ☺ Yeah, most riffles would look better when u put scope .. but this one look soo much different and the more I look at it, it kind of grow on me ... nice looking riffle and very good review, as usual 👍

[@MrRockstar1968]

I much prefer the Reximex Throne Gen2 Compact.

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hi Rockstar. It goes to show we all have different tastes as I feel the complete opposite haha. To me the Throne/Ixia compact is considerably worse in the shoulder than the Lyra. But then I don't like the "tactical" approach of the Ixia/FX'ey type rifles.

[@Jones-xx2gc]

Not going to win any beauty contests, that's only my opinion though, but it seems to shoot well for it's price. How do guns like this fair over time as far as reliabilty goes.

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hey Jones. The Reximex/Kral gear is reliable from my experiences and I've personally had only 3 rifles ever fail or be returned in the years I've traded with them. The Lyra's are fairly basic internally with no regulator etc to fail.

[@Jones-xx2gc]

@bigdansairguns83 Cheers.

[@geetee7154]

Dan, that music....... 😢😢

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hey geetee. It's funny how I've got this comment and another saying "hey Dan great music!" 🤣

[@TripleGRogerLait]

Do they shot slugs do you know ?

[@brendonhughes4580]

Reximex barrels are choked so i wouldnt think slugs would like that at uk sub 12 power levels

[@TripleGRogerLait]

@ The Krall NP02 is , but that shoots slugs ?

[@bigdansairguns83]

Hi Roger. I wouldn't massively recommend shooting slugs through it although this said I haven't tested it yet. That said in sub 12ft-lbs I've found pellets offer better performance over slugs in most cases anyways.

[@TripleGRogerLait]

@ I shoot Zan 10 grain through an NP02 and they work handsomely . I just wondered if you had tried is all buddy . I make you right , on the whole sub 12 shooting slugs is a bit hit and miss .
