When they first come out Ronnie sunshine's wouldn't stock them (customer order only) due to a bad reputation for breaking down ......guess what .....they now sell them

They are quite popular at our club; compared to the Hatsan AT44 which is about the same price, personally I rate the RM8 as better built.
It is a shade heavy, it's front end weight in truth, which doesn't always suit everybody.
I've done a custom mod to one of them and the owner is well pleased. http://i.imgur.com/0YtIYsS.jpg

try the RM8 for the money very hard to beat, accuracy beats my air arms and sumatra. One of those air rifles I am so pleased to own.
After 18 months it has never me down, and always makes me smile.
Good luck. g

How do you find it weight wise?

I think they have changed the design recently as the ones I looked at in the shop this week look very well finished and the stock seems to cover more of the bottle.

Out the box my black one is around 11ft/lb in .22 with AADFs. I reviewed it on YouTube. It is heavy but that's what slings are for I guess. With a bipod and weihrauch mod plus scope it is beautifully balanced for standing I find. Not sure if mine leaks air but then again I do loose track of shot count. Really wish they did a proper synthetic stock though the camo one looks nice.

My uncle shoots one. Quite heavy for a pcp but well balanced. The action is simply a umarex airmagnum 850 fitted with a regged bottle.
Very accurate and reliable with the exception of the probe seal. It's an o ring which seems to fail more often than I'd be happy with.
Very consistent over the chronograph and simple mag system.
Very very accurate.
Comfy stock.
For the money, difficult to overlook.

Are they regulated

Yes, there is a brass external regulator between the buddy bottle and the action block.
