Description:
The Reximex Daystar Pretensis Walnut Regulated is a pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle manufactured by Reximex in Turkey.
It's known as the Pretensis in markets like the UK and Europe, while it's marketed as the Daystar in the US. This model features a Turkish walnut stock, a built-in pressure regulator for consistent shot velocity, and is designed for activities like target shooting, plinking, pest control, and small-game hunting.
It's a versatile and powerful option in its price range, with the regulator ensuring stable performance over multiple shots without significant power drop-off.
Design and Build
The walnut stock stands out for its aesthetics and ergonomics, featuring a unique circular stippling pattern for improved grip and a sporter-style profile that's comfortable for extended use. The cheekpiece is elevation-adjustable to fit different shooters, and synthetic or laminated stock options are available if walnut isn't preferred.
The rifle has a classic look with modern touches like a shrouded barrel to reduce noise. It's praised for punching above its weight in build quality, especially considering it's often available for under £600 in the UK or sub-$1,000 in the US.
Performance and User FeedbackUsers and reviewers often highlight its accuracy at long ranges, smooth sidelever action, and value for money. In tests, it's described as one of the best sub-£1,000 rifles on the market, with excellent shot consistency thanks to the regulator.
Some note that the non-regulated version exists, but the regulated model is preferred for better performance. Drawbacks mentioned include occasional minor quality control issues typical of budget Turkish airguns, like needing trigger adjustments out of the box, but overall feedback is positive for its power, looks, and reliability.
If you're considering purchasing one, check local regulations as power levels may vary by region (e.g., detuned versions for Canada to stay under 500 FPS).
