Great review Nate. This gun has lots of features for a lefty. Bolt on left and mag loaded from l or r. Another Bucket list candidate.

RTI Arms PRIEST 2 (Review) Worlds Most Accurate Airgun? ...it's one of them!
- Thread starter kaylaindy
- Start date
Ever since I saw Fredrik Axelsson shoot with a left handed charging handle I have been obsessed with left hand charging. Fredrik was doing some straight gunslinger stuff. I also learned the other day that Fredrik aims for the next target before his last pellet hits.....that is = he shoots, and then before his pellet even hits the target, he is already aiming for the next target.
So when I finally get a RAW LRT in Laminate grey, it will have a left handed charging handle. Hopefully, holding the gun with 1 hand, I can do some crazy fast shooting with it.
Thanks for watching guys! -Nate

This review is excellent! And I have the same conclusion as you Nate, I'm glad you reviewed the standard version because if this is great imagine the HP version. Cant wait for The Prophet to be out, I think it will be hard to beat. I'll probably have one RTI on my iguana killing arsenal!

Received mine yesterday, first shots what i realized is that my regulator takes to long to return to the assigned pressure on each shot!!! Someone can help me?

A lot of these new guns are well made and extremely accurate. My big question is does RTI have parts and repair support in the USA?

Incredible support for someone so far away. I had an issue and was shocked how well and fast it was handled.

Thanks for all the encouragement guys! I know I say this every 5 minutes...but get that Performance model..it has like $800+ in upgrades included. I want one pretty bad! I'm about to open my Uragan .25 cal (I actually own this one!) ...so after my review of that I have a feeling it's getting sold and the money will be going to a Preist 2 Performance.
The Priest 2 would be a great gun for someone who wants to own 1 airgun! Actually hitting what your aiming at never gets old! Plus you can change calibers. A priest with all 4 calibers? Now that would be a serious "bit of kit!"

P.S. I hate Facebook and Instagram...but I'm opening a Facebook and Instagram account this week for all the people who don't hate it. I'll see you guys on Social Media soon!

I was testing some slugs out of my .25 Priest. The 29gr NSA showed the most promise. Testing was cut short by hunting season. The 29’s were shooting the best but not what I would consider accurate enough to move to 100 yards for more testing. I didn’t have the chance to play with the velocity to see if I could tighten things up at 35yrds. My decision is the same as with my other guns, if I decide to convert it to a slug gun, I will make a slug barrel for it. Slugs shine at longer distances. My 35yrd groups must look like one ragged hole or it isn’t worth it. I don’t like choked barrels for slugs anyway but I figured I would try.

Sounds like you need a replacement reg. Contact RTI. Read they have been responsive with support. Post back here your experience.
Just picked up a .25 Priest 2 myself. Plan for it to be my reliable go-to lightweight hunter.

Mine has only had reg issues in cold weather. I've bought a temporary replacement metric paintball reg for $18. I'm going to swap it out, then replace the o-rings in side the original regulator with more expensive ones that can hold up in cold weather. The whole ordeal will be less than $25. I've gone this with several other regulator already. Believe me, it only the o-rings, not a problem with the reg itself.

Just found out that AoA, who is the only US retailer for RTI, no longer sells the Priest. They told me the Prophet is basically a Priest 2, but now there is a Prophet 2. With that said, I'd still like to get a Priest 2. Any thoughts on how to get one?
