Using an online converter it comes to approx 780£
On it being an "almost FX".
I´ll be blunt, no. No it´s not. As a design excercise sure there´s a few points that are true for both, but.. nah. When you start undressing this thing, as a design, it´s vastly different vs say an Impact or a Wildcat.
Nah. What has come to strike me the most is the, in essence, non adjustable trigger. Sure. There´s like an adjuster on the rod that runs between the trigger blade and the trigger group but to be blunt.. at this level that´s unacceptable. Can it be "rewired" without major surgery? At this point, dunno. Haven´t dug that far into it yet. As i intend to keep this rifle for a while i WILL attend to it however. Rest assured.
Instruction pamphlet that comes with is on the Meta in general, sorts of as a "system" for lack of better words, and already where we´re at there´s a few versions ...as noted. Nothing dedicated for the Premium in other words. Again... build Q is right up there with the big boys, it REALLY is. Just feels like.. they rushed the Meta into the market. Not production per se but the market more so.
What makes me state that?
Trigger, as i´ve mentioned a zillion times by now, but what´s more.. Now take to heart that i guess i´m not the easiest customer to satisfy and indeed.. when at this level we´ve sure left Kansas and if you opt to play with the big boys that carry pants you´d better be able to back that up.
Huh?
Here´s an example...
O-rings. Their size often being "semi" debatable in many an instance. I build my own moderators and to be truthful that BSA R-10 in 177 i´m still knee deep into set a new bench mark as far as being silent in operation. It became so, partly at least, due attention to detail.
This Meta sounded.. "harsh". So what i did was use a common hanky to see where pressure came out where it should NOT upon firing cause that it did was obvious, and it did. Due that i looked through my box of o-rings and came up with a breech seal one size smaller. Indeed, in a jiffy way better.
Then it turns out that we experience an ever so minor leak between the valve and the main block (iow valves outside), from what it seems. I know. I know all to well, this IS nitpickin.. No matter, my point is that there´s points/places to be IMPROVED upon.
Hence, put to the market to soon. I feel they should have given this unit the time of day and let it mature, still kept within the factory gates. What i put forth are small things, to me at least they are, which should have been handled by Reximex at this level.
Will i get by?
Oh I SURE will! Make no mistake, i´m the dude with lathes, a full on Bridgeport.. AC/DC TIG and what not, you´d better BELIEVE i´ll get by - that´s not the point is it?
Point is that when average Joe forks over 780£ for an "unknown" he´s entitled to a gun that lives up to par.
It does not?
Weeeeeell.. yes n no then. I guess. Again. I guess what i´m saying is that this IS a downright fantastic gun and Reximex IS a brand on the move and as such.. i guess this is to be expected? Growing pains. Or is it? I´ll toss the Q back at you guys, at THIS level.. SHOULD even a breech seal be able to be improved upon? We´re talking a common o-ring setup here, it´s not exactly rocket science is it. The o-ring ON the barrel and the one in the spares bag the exact same ones. More importantly issues like this that are CHEAP to remedy. SIMPLE to remedy, yet it wasn´t done. It kind of makes me wonder, cause for the absolute most part the gun is put together with an attention to detail that WILL put FX and so forth to shame. Then.. next breath and "you´re OUTTA here!". Who OK´d this? Why wasn´t this stuff looked into a TON better by Reximex?
Details and just me being anal?
Maybe so. But that wasps nest right there.. the guys at Reximex simply can´t afford this - IMHO. Which IS a pity cause as i say.. absolutely FANFRIGGINTASTIC rifle on all counts!
Other way around, on closing, so... the put effort into that overkill diffusor setup. Spent time n money on that (which from a practical POW amounts to rather specific ZERO) but fail to drill n tap for regular M3 stoppies on the sear et al.
Right.
Just...
Right.
