Walther Rotex RM8 Varmint PCP Air Rifle .177

WALTHER ROTEX RM8 VUC PCP

The Rotex RM8 from German company Walther is a British-styled rifle that is made in Germany. With solid and reliable engineering that makes this rifle feel great when you’re shooting. The Rotex RM8 has been a massive hit since its release and is now available as this Varmint version with a thumb-hole polymer stock.

The RM8 is based around a bolt-action cocking and loading system, with an 8-shot metal magazine to hold the pellets before they’re loaded. The Walther Lothar barrel has a 1/2 inch UNF thread at the end and is fitted with muzzle brake as standard, which can be replaced with a silencer.

The ergonomic thumb-hole stock is made from strong, solid polymer to withstand anything you can throw at it. The fore-stock has a weaver rail fitted for a bipod or torch. The large 200cc bottle provides up to 180 shots, with refilling done through a quick-fill probe. A pressure gauge ensures you always know how much pressure you have left.

This is one of those rifles that just looks right and performs amazingly.

This rifle is designed to deliver less than 12-foot pounds of power to stay within UK law. However, FPS depends on the pellet weight and quality, i.e. brand used. Each rifle will perform differently, so we recommend trying different brands of pellets to see what works best in your new air rifle.
