This is the first bullpup gun, that I would consider to buy. The design is n't ugly at all, the accuracy is amazing and the gun is very handy as well. Great stuff 👍👍
Superb review as all of yours are Richard. This channel is a treasure trove of excellent reviews and info. Many thanks 🙏
Thanks very much Nick. Appreciate the kind comments. Rich
Great video and impressively accurate shooting there Rich. 👍
Thanks John...
Another great review 👍
Thanks and thank you for watching.
Would love to own one of these rifles. Great walk round and very informative.
Thanks for watching...
Really enjoy my Reign so light and the magazine system is very good, great review 👍
Thanks very much for watching.
Can understand why you like the setup so much after that kind of a shooting performance. Thanks for another informative review.
Thanks very much for watching.
Great review Richard and this time I don’t have to raid the piggy bank since I’ve had a Reign for about 18months. It’s a brilliant little rifle and I’m saying that having an FX Wildcat and Dreamline in the same cabinet along with an AA tdr and Brocock Ranger. It’s light, compact, accurate and simple to use and like others have said it’s my go to gun when on the farm. Only if I’m using in the back garden do I bother with a moderator on this little gun - at sub 12ftlb ranges in the field I find I get one chance only, with or without a moderator. As for the polymer stock it’s totally functional + comfortable and I certainly wouldn’t trade it for some of the plain beech stocks seen on other guns ( floor board off cuts ) plus the magazine is simplicity it’s self to load, totally reliable in use and isn’t sitting proud of the breech and complicating scope mounting as on some more expensive rifles. It’s a keeper!
Keep the reviews coming Richard, on both guns and equipment.
Thanks very much Graham. Just back from a ratting trip with mine and couldn't agree with you more. Thanks for watching.
" far enough from the trigger to stop me moaning " very good line Richard,.
Thanks for showing.
Ha! Thanks Henry...
I love mine. The lightweight design makes walking and stalking a dream. Comfortable, powerful, accurate.
Had my Reign ever since they were first released. Superbly accurate and reliable Rifle. Literally hundreds of Rats and Ferals without missing a beat. Definitely my go to.......Some nice accessories on Ebay for the Reign too... Nice review...
Thanks very much. Racking up a few myself with it!
Great review Richard.The reign seems like a cracking little rifle.The accuracy is as good as rifles twice the price.
For a compact gun,it would definitely be one to consider.
Atvb👍🏻
I'm loving using it around the farm Justin...
Great review, I have recently bought the M2 and like you it seems to have become my go to, its light and shoulders so nicely, I have far to many air guns but like you was fed up with banging the stocks it seems that I either banged it or if I dropped something 300 yrds away it would somehow always hit a rifle! I didn't even notice the plastic trigger until watching this review, so far it seems accurate and very near to the 12ftlb limit, not long ago I bought a s110 TR which is beautiful but I use this more than any of them even my MK3 Wildcat which had become my go to due to old age and arthritis, so far the Reign has certainly earned its place in my collection and you cannot scratch or dent it! And I don't have to point the gun at my face to check how much air is left!
It certainly is a great rifle Mark. I use mine all the time. Thanks for watching.
Great review Richard!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍(very underrated air rifle)
Thanks Alan, and it most certainly is! Thanks for watching.
I never liked this rifle but my mind has been changed very consistent im a lefty and find it hard to find something that suits excellent review as always 👌
Thanks Phillip. Its worth taking a look at. The stock divides opinion, but there's no denying the performance!
What a fantastic review Richard, the very best on you tube may I add, I bought the reign in .177 as you have just short of a year ago and the trouble I had getting the right silencer for it was a nightmare, now all sorted and pellet on pellet, may I ask what silencer you have fitted on yours please cos it is a lot shorter than the one I have fitted to mine, I have just subbed to your channel and will watch a few more vids, take care all the best..Alun 👍👍
Hi Alun. Thanks very much. I appreciate the great feedback and hope we can keep you entertained! The silencer is in fact from an FX Impact and works really well! I'm glad you managed to get your set up sorted and are enjoying the Reign. Thanks again.
Great review Richard. Really like the gun and incredible shooting. I think I’ll get one. What scope were you using please and do you sell them ?
Hi John. Thanks very much. The scope is a Pard NV008 LRF - its a digital night vision scope that you can also use in the day. I use one for rat shooting and one for rabbits on a .30 calibre FAC rifle. They are simply fantastic. There are two version - one with a laser range finder (the LRF version in the video) and a version without a range finder. We sell them both:

@@alphamilitaria2756 Many thanks Richard, I’ll take a look.
It is a 'Marmite' rifle in terms of looks, have to admit I like it. It was on my short list when I last got a sub 12 but went with the Weihrauch HW110K.
I love Marmite!
The Reign regulator is internally very similar to that on the RM8.
Great review. I've been looking at the FX Wildcat and Weihrauch BP. Hadn't considered the Reign. 🤔
Thanks Tony. Shoulder one if you can. The stock is not for everyone, though I find it absolutely fine...Save you a few quid too! Thanks for watching.
@@alphamilitaria2756 I know some people find it cheap ,feeling ?? I didn't like the feel of the RM8. Ended up with an HW110.
I have a Walther Reaign guys 5.5mm and it does not have regulator. It delivers Maximum 35-40 ftp of energy (depending on the pelet) and I get arond 40 shots/fill. Do you have any idea if the regulator is adjustable and if it is sold seperately? i want to make it relulated but with adjustable power. Not sub 12 ofc.
Hi. Both the mk 1 and mk 2 Walther Reign is regulated.
Nice video. What is the silencer you used please?
Thanks Phillip. I believe it was the silencer from an FX Impact...
from where is the supressor?
Hi Richard. Purchased one of these today. Can you recommend a bag I can fit it in with scopes & bipod fitted?
Regards
Sime
Hi Simon. Congratulations on a great purchase. Most of my rifle bags are made by Buffalo River. They do a 42 inch bag that's nice and deep and should be perfect: www.highlandoutdoors.co.uk/Parent-Category-2016/Buffalo-River-Rifle-Bags/Buffalo-River-Dominator-FT-PCP-Gunbag-42-Buffalo-Camo.html
@alphamilitaria2756 cheers buddy & keep up the good work
Just a small point the pard 008 will fit dove tail and picatinny you just remove the silver adapter with a small alan key
Thanks Paul. I'll try that.
@@alphamilitaria2756 do a video on it, there is a large amount of people that don’t know and spend money on a picatinny adapter.
Surely the RM8 & the Reign have got to be sharing barrels to keep production costs down.?
I’m an RM8 owner & I can’t believe that for almost twice the price that it’s worth the extra.!
I'm sure they do. Perhaps the RM8 is the deal of the century? Thanks for watching.
How does it keep zero ,i had the 22lr bulpup and the plastic scope mounts would move once you put it back in its hard case
Hi. I'm not sure I'm getting you. Do you mean the mounts on the Pard NV008 scope? They are metal and clamp on very firmly. I'm not a big fan of the dovetail adapters though. Did you mean them? The Reign has dovetail rails and as you can see from the video, I fitted a Picatinny adapter so I could use the Picatinny mount. I can't honestly say I've had an issue with zero shift. I hope you managed to resolve the problem.
@alphamilitaria2756 on the G22 22lr the scope rail was plastic and part of the main plastic body and was very flimsy, but I watched a video last night, and your rifle has a metal scope rail ,so all good as its solid 👍
My mk4is by daystate puts it through the same hole at 30m and makes you left wondering if it fired anymore shots the way it goes through its same hole. Granted the Daystate was twice the price of this one when I bought it new but like the saying goes, you only get what you pay for.
Clearly you are a superb marksman Peter.
Which would have if you had to choose Reign Vs Hw100 BPK ?
I think I'd go for the HW. But it would be a tough decision...
bonjour richard quel est le diametre du canon pour montage d'un silecieux merci
Bonjour. Its a standard 1/2 inch UNF thread. Thanks for watching.
The pard must 6" above the barrel centre to centre.
Not sure about that. Accurate with a 20 metre zero though for rats as close at 10 metres...Thanks for watching.
The pistolgrip looks like a P22
M2 accurate enough to take out a mouse!
how does the .177 performs with slugs?
I'm afraid I don't know. I don't see any upside with slugs at 12 ft/lbs I'm afraid. With pellets the Reign is a cracking rifle and very accurate.
I really am considering buying one, as my BSA R10 isn't accurate at all and I've literally tried everything to get it so and hours of my time and money .
I personally Think this Walther is pig ugly but my god is it accurate and the price.
And that's what I want.
My BSA is lovely to look at but just an ornament.
Well I bought one in. 177 calibre.
So now looking forward to putting it through its paces
Why don't you do a second hand test on the air riffles
Hi John. I'd love to but the logistics involved in getting a rifle someone wants to sell second hand to review it, then send it back is too much of a hassle.
I absolutely love these but just can't afford it. With that kind of accuracy I'm sure you could get some bunnies for the pot too. Pretty much the only sub 12ft/lb you would ever need if you only wanted one? Regards MMMD
I find myself reaching for it more often than not. Thanks for watching.
At 10:07 in this video, he claims that this gun has a regulator!! which is completely false in my research, please let me know if I’m wrong, and saying this? But I have checked many times on this gun and there is no regular.!!
Hi John. Happy to let you know that you are wrong. The Walther Reign is regulated according to the manufacturer. I hope that's good enough for you.
What silencer is that?
Hi Sam. Its from one of my FX Impacts...Thanks for watching.
I have the .22 caliber for more smack-down on rats.
Can you double load it , ? A bit pricey for a plastic rifle, but whatever floats your boat, 😁👍
I expect you can Phillip if you're not paying attention. The sidelever is very positive though so there's really no excuse if you do. The plastic stock is what makes it so light and durable. If it was wood it would weigh a lot more and look like all my other dented rifles! Thanks for watching.
On the .177 it is possible to load 2 pellets in tandem in a single magazine chamber. I know, 'cos I've done it in dim light when not wearing my specs!
Preferred the other music
M2 or MK2 has a regulator
Yes does.
$599usd now
$428 on ebay right now
Ita a OK rifle.. Bit plasticity... Cost to high. For that reason....
Have you shot one Robert?
@@alphamilitaria2756 yes...
Agree, far too much cheap looking plastic for my liking!
@@roberthowe2910 How did you find it shot?
What a fantastic review Richard, the very best on you tube I may add, I bought the reign in .177 as you have just short of a year ago and the trouble I had getting the right silencer for it was a nightmare, now all sorted and pellet on pellet, may I ask what silencer you have fitted on yours please, I have just subbed to your channel and will watch a few more bids, take care all the best.. Alun 👍👍
$799 about four times what it's worth.
Not a very accurate rifle, 30m on a rest should be 1 hole and i mean 1 hole not ragged like it is here, i wouldnt buy it.
Perhaps you're simply a far superior shot compared to me Peter.
