Mito Findings (so far)

My personal opinion is that the channel for the magazine location is the wrong way around. Being as, tight as they are, it would have been better to have the locating channel on the mag and the raised strip on the block.
Having the thin raised bit on the plastic mag is only a matter of time before it fatigues, wears or falls off.
Even better not have that system at all and use the end of the barrel/tp as a locator?
 
I also have a pp750 in .22 with a Carm single shot pop-out loader that I use for close quarter ratting that I am considering moving on due to having the 2 Mito's

Would you say the Mito is better? Not sure if the smk has a reg or not!
 
I originally would have said the PP750 was better because it was about half the price but now as they near as dammit the same price I would go for the Mito S with the included stock. To me the walnut feels exactly the same in the hand as the synthetic version so the only considerations are what will you use it for? My 177 is for targets and the 22 for close up ratting. I use a T-Eagle 2x28 micro scope on my 'S' version.

Are they still on sale ? Looking for a mito s with stock for son in law
 
There will be loads on sale second hand very soon I expect as some people would have bought them on a whim and because they were so cheap
 
There have been many questions recently regarding the best scope for a Reximex Mito and I think that I have found the ultimate and best solution. If you can't hit the vermin by shooting it you can simply twat it with the scope. Do people think that a 10-40 scope is a bit much for a pistol?

With the right mirror and close up lens you could probably check the air cylinder pressure at the same time with that.
 
Quick update after a play this morning.
I've been struggling to get consistent groups with any pellets - get a decent group mixed with huge 'flyers'.
I started concentrating on the trigger as while good it's a fair bit heavier than my other pistols and bingo -
20230104_103604.jpg


the centre is 2x mags, single handed at 10m with a LOT of concentration on trigger technique (to the detriment of sight picture which is all I normally concentrate on - trigger on my other pistols is barely a twitch). I have lightened off the trigger a bit but will be looking for a longer grub screw and lighter springs when I get time. The other I noted was whilst the grip is comfy if you hold it slightly offset or weaver style, holding it target style I found the ridge at the back digging into my hand after a short while, I think this is made worse by the lack of palm shelf to help support the nose weight - a Bob-P one may be on the cards.
I suspect the trigger is fine if used in mini-carbine form or weaver style, but with adjustment available with the current screw/spring set up it's very easy to drag or push the shot single handed. That said it definitely is a very capable pistol - just needs a bit of refinement
 
Got my single shot side loaders in 177 and 22 today and hope to test them this week
 
Replacement Mito S in 22 arrived from Ronnie Sunshines, looks good.
First time using the 22 Mito S with stock fitted on range and used single shot loader. Using a Discovery FFP 4-16 scope zeroed it at 10 yards and re-set elevation turret cap to zero. 20 yards was the same, dead on the cross hairs. 30 yards was 10 clicks more 10 shots gave 15mm group. 40 yards, I think that is the maximum for this gun, was 36 clicks up from zero to give a 25mm group over 10 shots. Tried 50 yards but after rotating the turret over 360 degrees gave up as a bad/impossible job.
Will try Mito W 177 with pistol scope tomorrow.
Turning that trigger screw has made both guns very usable. Thanks to Mopane for that information
And thanks to Ronnie Sunshines for sorting this mess out.
 
The Mito 177 W fitted with 2-8 pistol scope using Carm single shot loader and HW100 moderator.
Zeroed at 10 yards and using JSB Exacts 8.44 - 4.53.
Excellent grouping and 20 yards is nearly the same point of aim. Past this you have to add clicks but all is good to 40 yards but not beyond (as expected).
Have tried various pellet makes and shapes but still settled on the JSB 8.44 as the best suited.
A few pellet types didn't probe through cleanly and all that did this were not accurate. Tried some high quality flat heads and these were excellent at 10 yards but not beyond (again as expected). Getting on for about 100 shots per fill which is much more than I expected.
After about 150 to 200 shots the accuracy fell away, the pressure was OK so I cleaned the barrel, bloody filthy. All OK again after cleaning.
I will now start weighing out approximately 150 pellets and clean the barrel after using them all.
All in all, I am very happy with this pistol (and the 22 version).

I bought my S last year at full price before the discounts started - was a bit miffed to say the least but I'm still happy with it.

Popped a red dot on it straight away and with the stock and mod it makes a nice little setup.

Accuracy (0.177) is good and no issues at all.

Only 'weakness' as others have noted are the magazines.

Very tight fit and quite fiddly, but it's something I can live with. Still happy with my purchase and definitely worth it at the discounted price.
 
I looked at and instantly gave up on the supplied mags. I only use a Carm single shot loaders in the 177 and 22 now.
I have bought a couple of 3D mags from this forum and they are infinitely better
 
Quick heads up for people following this thread and haven't seen this thread Pistol For AGF comp there are some discussions on tuning the trigger. It does make a marked improvement but a quick word of warning (copied from my reply on that thread) :-

I switched out the adjustment screw on the trigger blade with a 12mm grub and started to play. Wound it in until the sear would not engage then backed it off until the sear could engage and then backed off a further 1/2 turn. Shot a quick card and massive improvement - whilst still a bit heavier than I'd like (until I can get the plate off and swap springs about) I had a lovely crisp single stage and this showed on the groups - finger nail sized for 10 shots with just a pair of pulled shots that I knew were me. HOWEVER, what I hadn't noticed until I was giving it a final check over was that the safety was now disabled and the pistol could be fired with the safety in either position. Played with the adjustment until the safety would function and it was a fair bit of backing off and the trigger whilst better than original wasn't as good as when the safety was disabled. Now this is not an issue for myself as apart from the HW45 none of my pistols have safeties and I rely on proving any gun is cleared and decocked before putting it down (old habits from range officer days), but it may catch someone out if they assume the safety is still functioning after doing this work.

I found the same issue but careful adjustment of the screw got it sorted. Not so much a problem as I now only use Carm single shot mags
 
Anti Tamper!
Has anyone else noticed that the rear most barrel locating screw and HST adjuster lock screw have shear bolts fitted? They certainly aren’t making it easy for anyone to mess with the factory settings, or swapping barrels. I’m not fussed myself as I’m getting an average of 5.1 ft/lbs with AirArms Diablo 16gr .22‘s, but for those that want to tinker it’s going to be a bit awkward. I only noticed because I partially stripped the gun to polish and lube the trigger sear faces.

I noticed this too on mine. Going to be a pain in the neck if the probe/breech and barrel o-rings need replacing. 🤔🤔🙄🙄
 
Interestingly the exploded diagram doesn’t even show the HST locking screw so I’m guessing that was an afterthought for the U.K. market?
Item number 49 is the shear bolt on the barrel.
