The Walther Rotex RM8 stands out for its elegant looks, sophisticated engineering and accurate performance in sport shooting, recreational shooting and hunting.
In appearance the Rotex RM8 adheres to a classic tradition: English style, with an Italian wooden stock by Minelli. It’s not only handsome all around, but also easy to handle. Non-slip checkered areas on the forearm and pistol grip ensure a firm grasp, and the rubberized butt plate provides shoulder protection. This way it always stays on target regardless of the weather conditions and even during sporty use.
Inside, you’ll find a reliable, precision-manufactured compressed air system, made in Germany. Pellets are fired from the 8-round aluminum rotary magazine by operating the generously dimensioned cocking lever. The 500 mm barrel, made by Lothar Walther, ensures a stable trajectory and has a muzzle brake with a ½" UNF thread for mounting a silencer. Energy is supplied by a permanently installed 230-bar compressed air cylinder with a built-in filler valve and pressure gauge. The first-stage travel of the trigger can be adjusted to suit your individual preferences.
The Rotex RM8 is built for use with a telescopic sight and therefore has an 11-mm dovetail rail. An open sight is not provided.
