Thx guys.

Well, on the trigger. That´s just the point isn´t it? The Lyra, Pretensis, Zone, Ixia and so forth.. all got the (more or less) same trigger group really. Which with a little hands on TLC tossed into the mix works really really well IMO.

On the Meta though them parts are out of steel (they´re not on the rest of the bunch) and as noted..
The caveat here being that it MIGHT very well be that MY rifle is where an oversight has been made, cause the instruction manual for the Meta sure tells there´s an adjustment screw in there.
Thus.. it MIGHT be just my rifle.
Dunno if that´s better or worse such a case scenario though?

No matter however as it got sorted by me installing that screw myself and what´s more that first up slip collar i made for the first stage spring in turn (which is on the actuator rod) made for wonders - and in turn the "re-balance" of the weighed trigger group certainly did its fair share as well.

Am i on a whole talking well of Reximex as a brand?
For the most part their guns are in what´s best described as a hornets nest price wise IMO. Competition is fierce to say the least, and indeed Reximex IS a new brand to the market..
But.
By now they´ve been around for a little while and if there´s ONE "general" complaint i´ve got it´s their QC as far as making sure their units are torqued together as should. I´ve due this made it a downright habit to pick the guns entirely apart (always do anyways, with ALL PCP´s i get on the bench) and then put them back together, and it´s been more than once i´ve run into fasteners that simply hasn´t been installed as should.
That however does not detract from the "base" impression by these units.

Indeed a sorts of "higher end" take on the Krals to be honest (from what i´ve gathered was the intent), and they DO pull it off. One thing that i´ve come to take to heart especially is their extensive use of close tolerance pins instead of threaded counterparts, making for that tolerances can be kept really really tight - and they´ll stay that way over time. A both smart and good call in my book.

The Meta Premium the i guess is exactly that. Reximex Premium model, or intended to be at least. As such something as my complaint there on the trigger simply isn´t acceptable. Reximex needs to sort that out, and that in a hurry if they want to have their "flagship model" priced even where it is as of current.

Build quality on a whole though, as well as design and execution thereof, is way way above their weight class on the Meta Premium in my opinion. The fit and finish leaves rather precise nothing to come down on. Impressive in my book seeing the hang tag of these things.

What´s more Reximex to my knowledge is THE only Turkish brand that holds any sorts of aftersales. They do keep a Facebook forum and i´ve seen end users pop up presenting issues and Reximex has been there like hawks sorting it out at the drop of a hat.
This day and age it´s in my opinion not Reximex doing it right as much as it´s the other Turkish brands doing it wrong. Hatsan for instance.. FOR a joke in comparsion!
(Btw. Just bought me an Aselkon/Interarms MX-10 for a song at an auction. Going to be very interesting picking that apart too as it shows up)

But yes.
There are spots to the sun here in the case of the Meta Premium.
Reximex being absolutely clear of what i do, i have written them on the subject of their mags for instance. The 12fpe crowd in its own rights, utmost respect for that, but the rest of the world is pointing one direction and one direction only..
Higher and higher muzzle energies being the norm and thus to keep it subsonic that brings..... heavier and heavier pills. It´s just the name of the game i guess. Seeing that, the limiting factor to the Meta Premium is the limited depth of the mags.

For the 22cal guns i´ve worked around this in two way. The one simpler than the other.
1/ I put the acrylic lid on the lathe and shave approx 1.5mm from its inside. Yes. This will make "see through" a memory but it WILL hand that heavier (read - longer) pills can be used.
2/ The Reximex and Kral mags are absolute dead ringers for each other, with the only difference being that the Kral mags are approx 3mm deeper. As it turns out this Meta will handle that need be, the probe being that retracted that you can shave them 3mm from the rear wall of the mag well need be.

I´ve thus put to Reximex that it might be an idea offering "high performance" main blocks that take the Kral mags for those so inclined. The 700mm barrel in combination with the 90cc plenum speaks loads as far as intent...why i at least came to pick a 25cal.
Reason being that for the given platform that brings i can get "decent" ME´s without breaking a sweat.. But as that keeps increasing (power output that is) the 25 will be limited at a certain level too, of course.

Is the Meta a contender vs the high end boys?
Where we´re at, no. The platform needs a bit more tweaking to accomplish that as far as i´m concerned. Can it however be BUILT into being such a contender? Yes. Yes it can, there´s no doubt in my mind on that one.
Ergo that should really be on Reximex, shouldn´t it? If they can tweak that Meta Premium platform into what i describe per above i´d even state it kind of becomes a no-brainer really.

Huh?
Yeah well.
IMO many a PCP shooter "over shoot" their needs, and this by quite a fair margin. For hunting and general plinking for instance is a regulator NEEDED? For the average hunter my take on that is.. no.
For more in depth use and target practice and what have you? Yes. Sure, but my point still is that for the general "mass" of PCP shooters.. not so much. Simply as they won´t go about firing twohundred and oumpty shots on a row without a revisit to the scuba or compressor.
Is a reg NEEDED for accuracy, as we´ve grown accustomed to being a reality out of PCP´s? Again no. Very very high levels of accuracy can certainly be had sans.

Be that as it may (or not) it still is a simple reality today that more or less all PCP´s sport a reg and as such arise the next issues. First up, is the reg design any good? Does it work as intended, cause all sure do not. For the FAC crowd and the rest of the world, is there plenum volume enough to make the most out of the reg use?

I believe by that you see where i´m going with this. Loads of what goes down can sure be chalked up as trick of the week, and seeing where his is heading.. Well.

So a tricked out Meta is the bees knees then?
Is that what i´m saying?

Let me put it this way.
The higher end puffs do carry a hang tag that makes them out of reach to if not most at least many. For whatever reason really.
As we dwell on certain solutions and narratives it´s only natural that the effects of this "dribble downwards" and we see the midrange segment sport the same features the more expensive guns did just like a year or two back.
I truly believe that if Reximex sorts this out they´ve got a winner on their hands, but that said.. it HAS to keep the approx same price range such a case scenario.

Mods coming up for my own unit?
Yep.
Already made me one of my latest design moderators for it, and it sure works. This one still on a 28mm tube though and seeing the performance level here i´m going to mimic the exact same thing on a 35mm tube, in essence to handle the larger volumes of air better (read - less violent within).
Next up, i already reamed the hole for the power adjuster out to 9mm flat with a reamer. Going to redo that, setting it to 10mm flat as i believe that´ll hand be better resolution of the dial in case.

Long term? I´m already looking rather die hard at the more "massive" parts the gun is made up from, trying to figure out where i could pull lightening cuts on the Bridgeport of mine. This IS a heavy gun, and IMO to no avail really.
Yep. This will entail the install of a CF bottle too no doubt - as every gram counts as far as i´m concerned. Yes. The Meta Premium is indeed available with a CF bottle it just isn´t imported up here to my knowledge.

This entire novel done then....
Yes. Yes, it is an amazing piece of kit the Meta Premium seeing what it costs.
