Kral Empire XS Review.

Look what took Hawkes Eye at the show.

[@jindoisland]

Nice video! I also watched your review of the AirMaks Caiman X. I like small Bullpups. I ended up getting an AGT Uragan 2 compact with the carbon stock. Unfortunately the valve would never close on the initial fill so I returned it. Now I’m back on the hunt for a replacement. Will probably get a Ghost in the carbine setup. But this one looks good too!

Hey up jindo, sorry for the late reply, not a bad choice at all, thanks for the feedback and for watching cheers buddy, Jon 👍😁

[@jindoisland]

@@jonathanhawke2995 I actually bought a Kral Arms Puncher Empire XS .22. It pretty accurate and hits the rats hard. Only thing is is weights 9.7 lbs scoped with my Sightmark Wraith mini and a battery pack.

[@jonathanhawke2995]

It certainly sounds like too much fun even with the weight of it, the xs dose seem to be hunter orientated as well as capable, really chuffed that you got something you're happy with, cheers buddy, Jon 👍

[@rayreed3084]

I bought your gun looking forward to having some great times with it.

[@steady2868]

Great video, The end of the barrel is also threaded for a mod. Just unscrew the shroud tube off and leave the bit with the two grub screws as it helps keep barrel centered where it runs through the scope rail.

[@jonathanhawke2995]

Thanks for the feedback mate, a very keen gun for the price bracket, cheers, Jon 👍😁

[@HawkesEyeTV]

New video with fixed audio. Sorry for the lost comments

[@carldixon7509]

I've just got the same gun , I e had awful problems with the accuracy, I gave the barrel a good clean and the group's have really tightened up. If you undo the hex bolts in the stock you can pull it out a bit.

[@jonathanhawke2995]

Heyup Carl, they're a lot of gun performance wise for the price bracket, I really like them too mate, thanks for the feedback, cheers, Jon 👍😁

[@johndingle9199]

What was the technical issue with empire xs you spoke of on your review I'm thinking of buying one kind regards

[@jonathanhawke2995]

Hey up Jon, sorry for the late, it was one of an early batch that had clipping issues, Solware swapped it, if I'm honest I prefer NP02, cheers buddy, Jon 👍😁

[@PlanetDrewdog]

For a long time I didn't really like the bullpup designs but I'm beginning to want one lately - and this one looks a bargain.

[@jonathanhawke2995]

Heyup Drew, they're a lot of gun for the price mate, Carl at Solware is doing a good deal on them at the moment, & you wouldn't be disappointed mate, cheers, Jon 👍😁

[@williamwilson2624]

Looks like a nice rifle especially for the money. It looks to group well and you can't ask for much more than that. Great video Jon.

[@andrewjelliman778]

Nice bit of wood. Can't wait see it in action at 50. Been Some nice weather. See ya soon 👍🏾

[@jonathanhawke2995]

Heyup Andrew, good little gun for the price, see you over there soon, cheers mate 👍😁

[@kollbo]

Thanks for the great video, not many out there! Got mine a month ago and it has been great. Agree with all you said. For the bipod managed to get a 3d printed on eBay! Which is fine but will block the fill port!

[@jonathanhawke2995]

Heyup Arts, sorry for the delay, the one I've had has been replaced, (one of a bad batch in .22), the new one arrives tomorrow, so well be filming the 50yds accuracy on Thursday hopefully 😁, sounds like the pic' adapter is like an NP02 kind of fit ? I'm going to carry on with looking at a bipod possibility, maybe something along the lines of Styer X pro, not sure yet, thanks for the feedback mate, cheers, Jon 👍😁

[@briancollins1078]

With issues at first jon turned out really great grouping Looks the business 👍 50 yarder next 😁

[@jonathanhawke2995]

Heyup Brian, cheers mate, it's a wee Beastie 😁 looking forward to the 50 too, how's the winerack, have you picked it up yet ? Cheers, Jon 👍😁

[@Relaxbadkneeadventures]

And great shooting 👍😉😉

[@Relaxbadkneeadventures]

Nice review thanks 👍😉

[@rapalaron6348]

Would be nice with compact scope mounted.

[@ShiftyGenesys09]

I kno this video is old but if anyone owns one and sees this the shroudbhas issues with clipping take shroud off and fit a silencer straight to the gun without the shroud you accuracy will be fixed

[@Airgunfunrich]

Really like the look of those. Think I might have to “pull the trigger” so to speak

[@jonathanhawke2995]

Heyup Rich, you wouldn't be disappointed mate, they're on offer at Solware , it's been pleasantly surprising, cheers, Jon 👍😁

[@Airgunfunrich]

@@jonathanhawke2995 cheers Jon👍

[@MrRockstar1968]

What distance were you shooting at?

[@HawkesEyeTV]

20 Yards this time

[@bsbsjaahahahahahaha6879]

can you use it as a lefty?

[@jonathanhawke2995]

Heyup Babjaaha, I recon there's potential for a left hand shooter, it's no less comfortable than a prophet left handed as I check them for a friend, though if the cheek comb was adjusted all the way to the rear it could be a little problematic due to the magazine cut out, thanks for the feedback mate, cheers, Jon 👍😁
