The Priest …. it is a new BP .. plz welcome to the new BP
Guys…i just received details from a friend from Slovenia…there is a new BP made in Slovenia which i see there are many similarities between this Priest Rifle and FX Impact…starting from the general design goes to almost all other features…here is the like ..plz share your feelings…and opinions
Edit: BTW: the price of the Priest is almost a half price of Impact
… i think this is a better choice between FX and Priest… since they are using CZ 450mm barrel…

the gun to weight 2.9 lbs. plus the weight of what ever size of scope one wants to put on it . The thought of a carry teetered
air source is a new concept in PCP airguns for hunting and shouldn’t be looked at lightly . Many bench rest guns are teetered
and everyone considers this set-up as normal , why not a lite weight teetered PCP gun for hunting ? After all it could also be
carried in a back pack as well . Easy to change out different caliber barrels is also a good feature . At 27 51/64 inches long still
better than a carbine size gun . However , I would like it to be between 24 ” to 26 ” long , maybe that in the future will be
possible . It’s a new PCP gun and like all new guns we will only know how good of a gun it will be by the buyers who are brave
enough to buy it as it is now . Only time will tell .

I think a well balanced 8# gun with scope is ideal for trekking through the woods. Key word here is balanced. In a real hunting situation how many shots do you take?? A dozen or so shots maybe? Given that low shot count needed, I don’t see the need for a tethered bottle. Paintballers need a tether since they take a ton of shots. Same with bench rest shooters. If you’re hunting and are worried about air, bring a small CF bottle but I wouldn’t want to be tethered to it while walking around. The instant your tether gets snagged on a branch and ruining your shot you’re going to realize it’s not all that great of a feature for a hunter. Accuracy and balance are much more desirable features.
As long as it doesn’t have an affinity for young boys with that name. 😛

Maybe a nice gun with the thought of having the air bottle worn at the waist and having the extra 4 lbs. off of the gun making

It’s 999 Euros so $1131 USD plus some shipping probably.
Just for grins and giggles any able to convert that over to US dollars?

At a fraction of the price. 😉
It has potential but I’ll be brutally honest here. The way the bottle is attached looks too weak and is a problem waiting to happen. An aluminum bottle is definitely not as light as a CF one however reduces cost but the way it’s threaded into the trigger guard looks poorly designed. At least on the FX Impact it looks more secure and being a lighter bottle means less stress on those threads. I also get the idea of being able to tether the bottle with a foster fitting but I don’t know why more manufacturers can’t implement the fill probe concept.
The buttpad or lack of one needs to be addressed.
I can’t tell if the magazine is the spring loaded type or not but more manufacturers need to get away from the spring loaded type. And if it’s not spring loaded, I don’t see the need for the extra casing? It just makes it harder to load pellets.
Didn’t take them long to pirate the Impact design :suprisedn: :suprisedn:
Cool. I wonder if it will make it here.

Looks very promising….110 shots in .22 with 320cc bottle… Would replace with CF bottle right away. I just hope AOA will not import them or you will see it sell for $2,000.
