Reximex Myth

Mat Manning sees if this Turkish PCP really can deliver dependable performance for under £400

I must confess to being a late arrival at the Reximex Myth party. This Turkish PCP has been the subject of a lot of discussion on the airgun grapevine and has already won a strong band of loyal followers, yet I didn’t manage to get my hands on one until just a couple of months ago.

The Myth is unusual in that it has two air reservoirs—a cylinder up front and a bottle at the rear—and I leapt at the chance when UK distributors Range Right asked me if I would like to put it through its paces. I was a little sceptical as to whether a PCP retailing for just £399 could live up to everything I had heard about the Reximex, and I reckoned the best way to find out would be to try it for myself.

The Reximex Myth is a futuristically styled airgun that certainly leans towards the tactical end of the design spectrum. It is also pretty compact. Unscoped, it tips the scales at just a whisker over 3kg, which makes it a very manageable airgun. It is just 83cm long at its shortest—length can be tweaked—which means it’s a PCP that handles well in cramped conditions. As for build quality, the Myth feels very robust and everything on it looks neatly finished. The standard comfortably exceeds what I’d normally expect at this price point.

Conclusion

To sum up, the Reximex Myth more than lived up to all the positive accounts that I had heard before I got to try it for myself. It is a well-made, stylish airgun with performance that far exceeds its asking price. In fact, it’s hard to believe that you can pick up an air rifle like this for less than £400.
