Artemis p15 vs rti priest mk1

[bunnysniper]

i have a heavily modded p15 and it shots mint and just bought a .177 priest so cant wait to compare

when i bought the p15 it had already had all the mods done to it,ive a lot of expensive guns in my collection and this holds its own with any of them

I bought mine 2nd hand but as now. Polished bore with autosol. Set reg to correct pressure. Added Dempsey shroud. It's laser accurate.
At 350 for rifle, bipod, bag, 2x3d printed mags as well as original I was happy. Used 20 pence worth of autosol and around one or two hrs polishing the bore and it's fettled.
Shroud was £65 posted. I added a JB3D adjustable butt for 30 quid.
By my maths that is £445 all in for a superb little rifle.
Just to note... I polish all my barrels but for piece of mind I did that bit extra on the smk...

I don't know what the priest costs but that's what it costs to get the smk up to very high standard, very quiet and comfy for my shooting position
Edit... 999 quid for a priest. It won't do anything that my smk can't do. Get two p15s in two calibres instead. A grand for an air rifle is a disgrace. Especially one so rudimentary

I've a sorted P15 and ve had the priest 2 .....different kettle of fishFishtoft behonest
I think first priest had a few minor leak issues that were sorted in the mk2 I couldn't fault the priest apart from the mags stick up in your cheek and the cocking lever on the wrong side (OK if benchesting)
The P15 isn't worth the new cost price because quality is hit and miss (I'd get the new zbrioa kozak) butf you drop on one cheap go for it ,
I was really lucky picking up the new type with metal mags , it had the breach redone in brass and barrel cropped and crowned for £230
Ragged hole @30m and under a 5p @50m (.22) love it .......
the barrel was shortened so when a proper silencer is screwed on its the same length as the cylinder, a delrin insert on the hammer face
plus a depinger that work it's really quiet

Has anyone had a problem with the RTI Priest main valve. Just acquired one and when firing it gives a nasty little pop and puff of air from the hammer/valve area.
Is this a common thing or am i just unlucky
Apart from this it's a cracking rifle.
Even i can hit a target😁😃
