Review:
Reximex Zone S 6,35mm

I am a gun license holder and own several short and long firearms. I've also been wanting to try out some PCP airguns. I chose this air rifle as a compromise between price, performance and size. The performance of the gun is very decent. The design of the rail for mounting the riflescope was the deciding factor in my choice. It is solid and holds in three points. No weakness. I know that a weak mount can devalue an otherwise decent gun with lower accuracy. Performance is sufficient when shooting at 100 yards using good quality diabolos. The air rifle also looks like a normal gun, not like diving equipment :-) (That was a joke). I understand that a larger air cartridge will allow for more shots per fill. Here the capacity is about 260 cc and that's also pretty decent.

Already at the outset I am forced to express my complete satisfaction.
First of all, I did not expect such accuracy from the 6.35 mm calibre. The conditions were not optimal, temperature around 12°C and wind, but I couldn't stand it anymore, I had to shoot the air rifle at least roughly. The cartridge was inflated to 250 bar with the aim not to inflate anymore, just to shoot, let the pressure drop to 100 bar and hurray home.
I started at a distance of 25 m, the air rifle easily breaks through the 2 cm plate. When I had done enough, I took the target to 50 m. I was amazed, I fit in 4 cm and the air rifle was still breaking through the plate. What can I say. Shot in the wind, no stool, no recoil, I'm looking forward to better weather conditions and having the gun at full power all the time.
I should also mention that I took the number of shots (55) listed in the specs with a grain of salt, but I actually shot at least 60 rounds.
– addition of the 100 m shooting test to the review
Measured muzzle velocity 247 m/s – 50 joule
The drop of the Jsb Heavy is considerable at this distance, which is probably normal for the weight of a 6.35 mm diabolo, but the bullet is more compact. It should be added that even at a distance of 100 m the air rifle still punches through a 2 cm thick chipboard, which is astonishing. To put this in perspective, a 5.5 mm diabolo fired from a 14 joule air rifle at a distance of 10 m will only penetrate this board to the edge, while a conventional cut board will go 1 cm deep. Particleboard is incomparably tougher than plain wood.
I am curious to see how far the Reximex Zone S can drive through this board.
Two years of using the Zone S and I'm back with an addition to the review. The 100m shot from the bench and under optimal conditions is 4×5cm. I haven't had to change the o-rings on the gun yet, the pressures still hold. The only recorded drop is on the regulator from 130 bar to 120, which I corrected by simply setting the regulator to 140 bar. The set screw is very sensitive, it needs to be adjusted with feeling. Also disassembly and assembly is simple, I peeked at the instructions on the Reximex youtube channel. The gun now has optimum performance. So in conclusion, I am still impressed.
