Sub 500fps .22 Cal Reximex Throne Gen2 Review! bcballistics

[@mikesbackyardeh]

Looks pretty sweet. I’m already a customer of ccs I purchased two krals from them. I do have a snow peak m60 b in the mail from air gun archery fun. Great review again 👍👍

[@BC_BALLISTICS]

thank you, i appreciate that! oooh those m60b's look great, Wes over at airgun archery fun is awesome to deal with, super nice guy! if you're on Instagram, feel free to let me know how you like that m60b once you spend some time with it!

[@Airfunner]

Excellent video. The highlights are the , Difficulty finding Mounting options for this Weaver.Or pick a tinny as you pointed out. If anybody has any comments.I would rather use the heavy mounting preferred over the Dove tale. Filming and editing, Your work allows me to compare your shots.Judge the wind for myself. The review for the rifle is excellent. Gives a very unbiased and makes me feel like i'm actually shooting it In some kind of A weird way. I know this forest that you're in very Well. Heavily addicted to repetitive shooting and practice. But the most fun and rewarding is mild friendly competition.

[@BC_BALLISTICS]

thanks a lot! i appreciate your kind words :) ...The UTG picatinny rings i have seem to fit these rails just fine, but i am unsure if all of their different pic rings will work.

[@Indiana424]

Your videos are amazing, i love your b roll shots. Such a very easy watch. Amazing air rifle you have there. And great review, Cheers!

[@BC_BALLISTICS]

Thank you! I appreciate that :)

[@alamoairguns]

You have come a long way with your content! Straight to the point. NO BS! You are in my top 3 favorite Canadians of all time!

[@BC_BALLISTICS]

Thanks a lot! I appreciate that!!

[@stevew145]

4:57 you have the scope mnounted on the 11mm part of the rail. The 20mm picatinny rail is below that. its a 2 in one design. You can see the space available in your scope rings to drop down to the next rail.

[@BC_BALLISTICS]

yes, as mentioned in the video, i prefer to use the dovetail portion on these Kral/ Reximex rails. The lower "picatinny" portion is not cut to standard picatinny sizing and often varies from one model to the next. occasionally it is spot on picatinny, but often if is closer to weaver. it is easier to just default to using dovetail rings on these guns, at least in my opinion.

[@rob86trott]

turning the reg up don't really do as much as you think . The main restrictions is the size of the valve port . Drill it out to 3mm and with reg set to 100bar it will give you 700fps with 18.13gn pellets

[@BC_BALLISTICS]

I appreciate the info! I was mostly thinking that some guys would prefer easier access to the reg to fine tune their shot counts, fps spread, or to find a sweetspot power wise for their favorite pellet, not necessarily for just increasing power :)

[@francisdaoust5862]

The valve port is near 5mm so the restriction is not this. The barrel port is oval and just a bit smaller than 3/16 of a inch. Polishing and making a radius flare on the valve port and barrel port will get you 20 extra fps. The hammer spring was at max tension, the valve port wide open reg at 100bar for a total of 550fps with crosman premier ultra magnum at 14.3 gr. I belive another 10 or 20 fps is possible if I radius flare the port of the boddy. For the extra fps, it will need a bigger plenum, longer barrel and increasing the regulator pressure... any other point will be welcom also

[@francisdaoust5862]

​@@BC_BALLISTICS after futher searching, I most admit that they put a small restriction at the port of the valve where the hammer strike (pre chamber rear tap). You can unscrew it and it should help alot. I did not test on the cronograph yet

[@Furkidd]

​@@francisdaoust5862did you try it? And did it work?

[@rob86trott]

Pair of pliers to turn reg up . But you need to take the bottle off and dry shoot the air out the pre chamber before you can turn it down

[@BC_BALLISTICS]

Yes, the manual explains that fully... I'd hope that anyone who is tinkering with things reads their manuals first lol

[@GodSpeedChronicles]

Beautiful gun and nice job!

[@BC_BALLISTICS]

Thanks a lot!

[@rob86trott]

The reximex and kral mags are not the same . They work the same way but the kral mags are much thicker

[@BC_BALLISTICS]

Agreed, I didn't mean to insinuate that they were interchangeable

[@mrzmanm90]

Does CARM make a single shot loader for that gun? I would think his loader would be ALot easier to load than Rex’s design.

[@johnb5519]

I was thinking of getting one of these, but I didn't like the fact that when scoped, it was going to weigh as much as my Diana model 48. Plus the fact that it has been neutered. Still a nice looking gun though.

[@BC_BALLISTICS]

Ya, not much can be done about the weight... full sized rifle weight for sure. A carbon bottle and lighter scope would help a bit but it kinda just is what it is. As for the detuned nature of the gun, I wanted a detuned one anyway lol so that suits me just fine. I have plenty of high powered guns and I find that I either don't shoot them much or I shoot them on lower power settings. But i can see the drawback it would be to some people... that's being said sub 500 in .25 is plenty capable of pesting and small game. Just not a long range.

[@johnb5519]

@@BC_BALLISTICS Yeah, I'm a tinkerer, so I would have liked the challenge.

[@TacticalJackalope]

I'm waiting on Canada Shooting Supply to get the PAL version so I don't have to be neutered by silly Canadian laws.

[@joelanthony3308]

Even tho iv got an impact I still want one!

[@BC_BALLISTICS]

I don't have an impact, but I can definitely relate to wanting or owing multiple similar or the same guns lol

[@Bemx2k]

They should make version with 2-3'' longer barrel

[@44442012]

I also have the detuned version of this gun, but now that I got my PAL, I'm looking to remove the detune. Do you have any idea how to remove the detune?

[@BC_BALLISTICS]

i haven't looked into tuning up the throne just yet... but i'm guessing that the main way they detuned it is by using a smaller transfer port and having seen inside some of the kral detuned guns i'm guessing it would have to be drilled out. unfortunately.

[@44442012]

Is it possible to retune this detuned version to PAL velocities (of course, provided you have a PAL license to legally own the retuned version)?

[@BC_BALLISTICS]

possible but not the easiest thing to do.

[@precisionrodentcontrol]

Just saw these are available on Pyramyd, along w the Compact. I know it’s subjective but do you think the magazine would interfere with a left handed cheek weld? Thanks dude.

[@BC_BALLISTICS]

Hmmm I don't think so, I've been pushing my cheek into the single shot tray for over a month now and it's not as bad as you'd think lol... and the mag is at least rounded... and worst case, you could always slide the scope back a few millimeters if the mag was pressing into your cheek too hard. .. but like you said, subjective, so its hard to say really... lol what's their return policy like 😂

[@precisionrodentcontrol]

@@BC_BALLISTICS thanks for the insight! Wish more high end bullpups had reversible mags

[@mrzmanm90]

Are Canadian air guns restricted to a fps rating?

[@francisdaoust5862]

What is the bi-pod in the first pics

[@BC_BALLISTICS]

@@francisdaoust5862 just a cheap one off of Amazon

[@Destructor8031]

Its not tuned well for lower power, if you swap out the hammer spring and open up the transfer port to 4.5mm if its not already you can get 300 shots per fill as you can achieve the same fps at a lower reg pressure.

[@craighughes4598]

Hello, I just purchased this air rifle. My decision was solidified after watching your excellent review. I am expecting my rifle on Monday and can hardly wait! I am new to this sport and am only interested in target practice with my rifle. That being said I am in Abbotsford BC and am wondering if you or anyone else has suggestions on where to go to practice. Is this a shooting range you are at in the video or do you just find a quiet location? Thanks in advance to all who reply.

[@BC_BALLISTICS]

@@craighughes4598 that's a great question than many people have, but that unfortunately doesn't have an easy answer... I'll try my best though. Most cities in canada have bylaws that prevent us from legally using airguns in our own yards, or anywhere in city limits, so you'll need one of 3 things... property outside of city limits where there is no bylaw, a membership at a shooting range, or access to crown land where you're allowed to shoot. To be fair, many people do shoot low powered airguns in their back yards, but i would never advise someone to do that, most neighbors are nosey and easily frightened of anything even remotely gun shaped lol... shooting ranges are the easiest, just join up and go shoot :) that's mostly where I shoot. there are lots of great ranges in the lower mainland, if you don't have your PAL though that becomes more difficult. And I'd suggest looking into it. It's handy to have! As for crown land, the easiest and most common spot to shoot i can think of is up the Florence lake service road, up along the left hand side of stave lake in mission. You can always search up this sort of information on reddit, many more knowledgeable people than i have discussed this for years and they may have better answers. I hope that helps a little, you can always message me on Instagram if you have more questions, its easier to chat on there. I hope you enjoy you're new airgun! I'm loving my Throne, it's in my regular rotation of airguns and I haven't have a single problem with it. Airguns are a great hobby, and once you get a few kinks worked out, like where to shoot, it's pretty straight forward and relaxing!

@@BC_BALLISTICSHello again. I am wondering if you have tried turning your regulator up to 150? I don’t have any way to measure velocity but am curious what the effect would be. Mine came with the regulator set at about 100.

[@rob86trott]

WHY does it have the compact barrel on

[@BC_BALLISTICS]

My understanding is that the barrel is the same length, just the shroud is shorter, because we can't have any kind of sound suppression here in canada the integral baffles have been removed and the shroud shortened.

[@Furkidd]

Still using it? Did you encounter any issues?

[@BC_BALLISTICS]

@@Furkidd i shoot it on a semi-regular basis... probably put 1000 pellets through it so far and I haven't had a single problem yet. It's a cool gun :) I wish I had more free time to shoot it though.

[@quebecpatriot1874]

Is that the "compact"? Barrel seems very short

[@BC_BALLISTICS]

@@quebecpatriot1874 nope, it's the standard length barrel, however the shroud has been shortened to remove the built-in sound moderation to fit canadas laws.

@@quebecpatriot1874 unfortunately whoever told you that needs a to do a little more research before theyre qualified to be educating anyone on our firearm laws. There are many legal bullpups in canada, from airguns to firearms (the FX Impact and iwi tavor x95 to name very 2 popular guns)... there are however a few rules they have to follow in order to be allowed, the main one I believe is that the gun can not be able to function outside of its stock, and i believethat bullpup conversion kits of any kind are banned... don't ask me why lol our laws don't make any sense. Lots of cool bullpups available in canada though :)

[@bwerd6572]

Why would anyone want a sub 500 fps air rifle???

[@BC_BALLISTICS]

well, there are actually lots of different useful and fun applications for low powered guns, depending on the caliber of the gun... but those reasons aside, here in Canada 500fps marks the cut off between airguns that don't require a firearm license and those that do. and not everyone wants a firearm license but they still want to shoot airguns. that being said, i have mine and i have plenty of full powered airguns but i still enjoy shooting sub 500fps often, i guess its just a particularity of our gun laws here in Canada.
