Remington tyrant. Any good?

[boozybloke]

I am talking myself into buying a new gun, in .22. I had almost decided on a stoeger x20s, but I popped into my local gunshop to see what they had and noticed the Remington tyrant which they are selling at £109.
Does anyone have one? I know its based on the Remington express, which itself has received some favorable reviews, presumably the tyrant is equal to these. I know the shroud on the barrel is not a silencer, is the rifle particularly loud on firing?
I totally expect that someone will pop up and mention the hw99, but I don't want to spend quite that much.
Final question, if anyone has fired/owned both the stoger and the Remington, was either significantly better?
Ta in advance

I've had/ got several 'top end' springers and bought a Remmy Express in 22 with a synthetic stock earlier this year.

A revelation out of the box. It responds well to stripping, cleaning out, deburring and relubing. Once that is done it's as good as anything costing 2-3 times as much. The trigger blade can be replaced with a WH rekord trigger blade which gives the trigger unit an improved 2 stage feel.

I adore mine and have a lot of pleasure shooting it, very accurate and consistent. You can't go wrong! But be aware they go a bit hot, so be ready to make adjustments when necessary!

A lot of guys at my club now have these, one guy couldn't decide between 22 or 177, so he bought one of each..

UPDATE

just done a google, the tyrant does not have the same action as the express, it looks more gamo like, so my comments above are redundant as they apply to the express.

Edit; just seen your edit.. Oh that's not so good then, do you have a link to that info?

ive read on one of the yank sites that these are a 17ft lb gun,so should be more than able to handle uk power
limits.as said,a good clean and de burr and a proper lube will do it good.i have fired the express and wasnt too
bad,but couldnt comment on accuracy,as it had open sights.would prob have one to fiddle with myself,if i come
across one.

Just compare the photos, a picture is worth a 1000 words.

Shauny, the open sights on the express are excellent.

I believe it's built on the BAM19 platform. The Express action and trigger is better in my opinion. I have both B19 and Remmy Express.

yeah, but you cant really tell what your 25 yd groups are going to be with opens,and i wouldnt
personally use opens to hunt,so back to my orig statement,cant really comment on accuracy.

I have the remington tyrant .22 and found it a great rifle for hunting and target shooting
Ive just found the perfect pellets for it after trying a few brands and they are the crossman premier hollow points.im getting tight groups at 35 yards putting 10 shots into a 5 pence piece size target.ive had rabbits out to 45 yards with no problem its a full powered rifle and now its broke in its smooth as silk i would recommend this gun to anybody.
