So i picked that Reximex Throne Gen 2 up and doing so i spoke to my vendor as far as another offering by Reximex.
Daystar.
By pics alone an IMO very very good looking PCP rifle if ever.

So i asked him if he couldnīt get one in 25cal for me to take a look at, so.. he called me up a couple of week later to tell that he just got the thing in the door and off i went.
At first, indeed a rifle pleasing to the eye no doubt but.. what i hadnīt taken into account was the (what i at least thought at the time) rather low "mod potential".
So i told him iīd have to think about it. Donīt get me wrong, as i do work for him he puts together downright fantastic deals for me.. so that wasnīt it.
However.

It came to the point where i saw this thing as i shut my eyes before going to sleep.. so, to H*LL with it! Fork it over, like NOW.
What i thought at the time was that if nothing else itīd at least be a real looker i could have hand me like maybe 50J or so whichīd suffice go ratting at least.
Looking good doing it.

For some reason this particular gun is called "the Pretensis" in Britain and then Daystar for the rest of Europe. To my knowledge theyīre by now at least imported into Canada (Reximex as a brand that is) and it might very well be theyīre available in the US too as of this writing?
Which ever.. as Reximex is a sister company to Kral they share loads of especially thinking, and thereby design. IMO the Kral rifles are often a few notches up from say the Hatsan crop of guns, and often lighter (in pounds that is) while at it.
This Daystar then no exception.

That the turks know their way around walnut, seeing the hang tags of these things, is no lie. The various cuts and what not are to spec, and then some.
This for instance brings that the workings of the gun is held to the stock with one sole countersunk allen screw and thatīs it.

She comes in two flavors, walnut or synthetic. The latter carrying even more adjustability but truth be told.. thereīs ample on the walnut too.
177cal, 22 cal and 25 cal.

One of the "issues" that struck me with the Daystar was that the distance between the barrel and the tank is such that a shroud for instance is plain just out. That kind of got me a tad worried on how loud this thing would become as i got it to breathe, why i this time out tried a few new trix as far as moderator.
As youīre aware i build my own but.. never had i thought. This one is rather elaborate (due above) sporting 6 chambers and in turn a number of "decompression holes" to chamber 1.
in turn caliber is held, at least within vincinity, until the expansion is happening upon entry of chamber 1. This and the use of dampening material within (as well as "washers" of course) has made this my last design downright insanely effective.
To the point where weīve started talking about producing the unit even.
Thing thing WILL take a roar to a whisper, literally.
Anyway.

That i hold the Kral (and now the Reximex) guns higher than Hatsan, Aselkon and what have you might be. It still shows here and there that theyīre mid range priced PCPīs.
These days everyone and his grandmother are into "tensioned barrels", however that there is NOT a way to handle that. At that the barrel band in case is so tight vs the barrel that even the slightest HOPE of working with nodes and anti nodes is out.
In short i dressed that hole out a tad, why the barrel on THIS gun is free floating since. Yes. It of course came to affect accuracy.

Ditto. Here n there itīs like the R&D dept one day just closed shop as they ran out of money. With the gun comes this plastic piece of Pic rail, which i guess is sweet of Reximex, to be held in place with this BIG *ss allen cap screw. Right. Any idiot can figure that keeping said Pic rail in place with one screw on a wooden stock, OF COURSE the thing will move! Notice the small hole in front drilled by me though..

Yes. The add on of a small philips of course makes for all the difference. End of story, and itīs things like THIS where you feel they should have spent like 3hrs more at the drawing board - if you know what i mean.
But.
The thing with both the Kral and Reximex guns is that itīs LITTLE things that might be "less than optimal" and these are almost always to remedy by the end use using common sense and hand tools.
Not like say Hatsans where the entire friggin barrel is off and thus the thing wonīt group if you so threaten it.
