Hi all.
I have recently picked up a new to me Reximex Pretensis in.22. The guy who sold it wanted a good bit less than new price, included a Edgar Bros 3-18x50 ir scope a bag and a tin of pellets.
All in all a bit of a bargain for the package. The gun was chrono'd in April 25 by Reximex, so only about 10 months old and going by what the guy who sold it told me it had only had a few mags through it. That was Thursday evening.
Friday morning off to the range with my new toy. I had looked down the barrel checked it over at home and dry fired it a couple of times.
Anyway, the pellets were off to the left and on trying to move the windage right found it was already wound over as far as it would go. Carried on playing swapped mounts around made sure that the scope rail was clean, centred the elevation and windage and was shooting bloody good groups just about 4 inches to the left of POI. Thought to start with issue with scope. Ummm
Got fed up and got my Lyra out all was good in the range.
Fast forward to yesterday morning. Had a read on here about issues with Pretensis and so.................
I took scope off and run a straight edge each side of the weaver rail to find that the barrel was over to the left by about 3mm which at 20 or so metres equates to the 4 inch issue I had on the range.
Following the advice found on here I released the grub screws on the barrel band the barrel sprung over and hey presto it was pretty much central. Tightened everything thing up refitted scope and put a target at about 15m in the garden and sighted it in, all rather straightforward to do.
Put up another target and the put 12 shots down all in the 9 and 10!
This morning removed the trigger sears and polished them as the trigger operation wasn't as smooth as it could have been, once the paint that had been liberally applied when the gun was assembled had been cleaned off and a thin layer of grease had been applied, I put it all back together and now can't wait to get to the range with it once more.
