Description:

The Reximex Daystar Pretensis Red Fire Cerakoted Non-Regulated is the unregulated variant of the pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifle from Reximex in Turkey.

Marketed as the Pretensis in the UK and Europe, and Daystar in the US, this model lacks the built-in pressure regulator found in the regulated version, which means shot velocity and power can vary more as cylinder pressure decreases, typically providing a shorter string of consistent shots. It's suited for target shooting, plinking, pest control, and small-game hunting, with similar build quality and aesthetics but at a potentially lower price point (often £100 less in the UK, or equivalent savings elsewhere).

Compared to the regulated model, the lack of a regulator results in a "sweet spot" for peak performance (typically around 180-190 bar), after which power and consistency drop off more noticeably.

Design and Build

The synthetic features the same ergonomic sporter profile as the regulated version, with circular stippling for grip, an adjustable cheekpiece for customized fit, and options for synthetic or laminated alternatives.

The rifle maintains a classic aesthetic with modern elements like a sidelever action and Picatinny rail. Without the regulator, it's slightly simpler internally, which can make it lighter or cheaper to produce, but build quality remains solid for a budget Turkish airgun.

Performance and User Feedback

In tests, the non-regulated version delivers strong accuracy and power in its optimal pressure range, with tight groupings at 25 yards comparable to the regulated model. However, without regulation, velocity variations increase as pressure drops below the sweet spot (e.g., under 130 bar), leading to fewer consistent shots overall—around 80-90 at full power versus 130+ for regulated in similar tests.

It's praised for value, smooth action, and reliability for casual users, but some note the need for more frequent fills and potential trigger tweaks out of the box.

User reviews highlight it as a great entry-level high-power PCP, especially for those not needing extended consistency, though the regulated version is often recommended for serious hunters or target shooters.

If purchasing, verify local laws—e.g., detuned versions for Canada limit velocity to under 500 FPS.
