Walther Reign UXT

A few months back I bought an FX M3 Impact and I have gotten used the FX's excellent target trigger pull. The Reign on the other hand is more of a hunter or military pull, even adjusted, still better than most of my off the shelf rifles, a couple lighter return springs would make it feel $500 better. My opinion hasn't changed much, this is a great gun for the price.

Pros
I bought a 22cal Reign a year and a half ago as a start into PCP air guns. I'm still pleased with this gun. Its small light and quite accurate and seems to fit me, overall nice to carry with a small scope. It seems to love pellets and slugs in the 16-20 grain weight range including the FX hybrid at 20 yards one-hole groups are common. Head shots on squirrels are easy but keep in mind pellet drop at different ranges, 5 yards more or less can be a miss. Practice, practice, practice!

Cons
This was louder than I was expecting, and it still is, both muzzle blast and the hammer drop together will send birds and squirrels into high gear. Not very sneaky. Unfortunately, Walther has made the moderator permanently attached and has to be cut off if you want to replace it with something quieter. I suppose that might make it legal in some more draconian autocracies but it's not helping us with tinnitus or close by neighbors. Please MR. Walther may I suggest some more baffles in the thing. My other gripe would be I run out of air way to quickly when I'm having fun. I could see a 500-600cc bottle would be a nice improvement.

Pros
Awesome gun--just buy it! See my review at the Walther reign and Umarex compressor combination deal page: https://www.airgundepot.com/walther-reign-uxt-pcp-bullpup-air-rifle-combo-25-caliber.html

Buy it you will love it. I saw a review and it asked where you can get extra mags I got 3 from krale hope that helps ed from ma.

Pros
Just got mine yesterday LOVE IT.very accurate hard hitting ,magazine is easy to load, weighs 7 lbs. With scope attached. I fill it with my nomad takes about 3-4 mins.

Cons
Wish The mod was removable

Pros
A real joy to shoot. Every thing is very smooth, good balance and shoots straight and hits hard. Love this gun....

Cons
The stock could be better .. but it works well just could be a little more quiet.

I'm not going to repeat all the comments previously made by reviewers; I agree with most of them. Overall I'm very impressed with the Reign and its accuracy and ease of operation. I'm especially happy with the cocking handle on the left side and the lefty safety! Overall a great buy!

Pros
I like the compact size, I LOVE the trigger (best on any bullpup I've shot - airgun or firearm) and being a lefty, the ability to swap the cocking lever to the south side is golden! A hidden "Easter Egg": the safety can also be reversed to lefty operation by simply flipping it over and inserting it from the left side (being EXTREMELY careful not to lose the spring and ball detent which will fly across the room when you remove it from the right side, and sometimes when you try to insert it back in the left side. Even though the procedure isn't documented in the manual, a local gunsmith figured this out and it shouldn't void the warranty because you aren't modifying anything any more than swapping the cocking lever to the other side.

Cons
I'd like to see the moderator be removable; it'd be fun to experiment with different baffles, shapes, etc. But then, that might open up warranty voiding issues... I'd also like to be able to purchase a spare magazine or two.

Just purchased a new .22 Reign...what type of material has anyone used to "sound-deaden" the Reign..?

Pros
All the reviews point to perhaps the best bang-for-the buck PCP Bull Pup available..

Cons
Slight concern regarding noise from "hollow" stock.

I'd like to apologize to AGD as I bought the Reign on line from a BIG RETAILER, found it about a week before this appeared on your web site back in November. I have now cancelled them for their anti free speech anti American attitude.
I still want people to know this is is a well thought out product, I think Bull Pups will be the future of long guns and I'm looking forward to see what comes next.
The report is still louder than I would like, but quieter than my older pump and break barrel pellet rifles. I think I'll rap some carpet over the end of the suppresser and see if that absorbs more of the pop. This is a great gun and value. It works better than other fancier guns at twice the price.

Pros
Very easy controls, ergonomics everything fits or is in the right place. Cheek piece is the correct height for the scope. Very light weight, slightly butt heavy. Accurate with pellets over 18gr going through the same ragged hole both JSB Exact Jumbo Heavy 18.13gr and Monster 25.39 landing 1/2"and 1/2" lower at 25 yards. Baracuda 21.14gr about the same . RWS superdome 14.5gr buzzing out to 3.5" group. All ten shot groups. This gun likes heavy pellets. The two stage trigger is not as nice as the $300 custom I installed on my 1022, but if if the 1022 was as good as the Reign I wouldn't have put on there in the first place. I'm told a ball point pen spring will get it there.

Cons
I don't like polymer stocks much, yes they reduce production cost, but they feel cheep and ruff and noisy. Have Packmayr spray the stock with that rubbery stuff they put on their stocks and charge $10 more, it will be even more ergonomic and help with the noise deadening . I did have one magazine problem when the spring pulled out of the hole and I lost tension and pellets wouldn't rotate. These are miner complaints and should not reflect on the gun but are suggestion for future improvements.

Pros
I have the .22. Very comfortable to shoot. The trigger is very smooth, has a solid wall, and a crisp let-off. There is no lose or sloppiness in the trigger linkage. I don't have a pull gauge, but I have no reason to adjust it as it came from the factory. The cocking effort is one of the best out there. I have several PCP's and it second best on the list of 9. The cocking lever is easy to change to the left side, just took a few minutes. The magazine is easy to fill and very easy to install in the gun. It can be installed from either side. I don't have a chronograph so I can't verify the speed or the shot count, before any "fall-off". I also shoot offhand, so saying that it's a one hole gun isn't possible, but, it is VERY easy to shoot offhand and at about 18yrds., with a red dot sight, I can get a magazine full into a group just slightly larger than a quarter. The pressure gauge is on the side of the gun, next to the fill socket. Nicely placed, and protected.

Cons
The gun does have an odd sound with the "hollow" plastic stock. But that's an easy fix. I put some sound deadening material in the back. Now the odd sounds are gone, with just a couple of oz's of material added. The factory silencer does, a "reasonable" job of cutting the bark. There is no easy way of adding a different or second silencer. The gun is slightly front heavy from the grip as center. This does not affect offhand shooting at all, and should benefit bench shooting. Very easy to hold solidly on target. Fun, easy gun to shoot.
