RTi Arms

RTI Arms

• Origin & Location: RTI Arms is a Slovenian company specialising in high-performance air rifles.

• Specialisation: They are best known for their pre-charged pneumatic (PCP) air rifles, designed for competition, hunting, and precision shooting.

• Recognition: RTI has made a name for itself among airgun enthusiasts for its modular design, accuracy, and innovation.

Products & Key Models

• Priest / Priest II: One of their tactical / modular PCP rifles. The Priest II offers an adjustable pressure regulator (80–180 bar), an adjustable trigger and other performance-focused features.

• Prophet: This is RTI’s “race gun” — designed particularly for Extreme Benchrest (EBR) competition. The Prophet features a long Lothar Walther barrel, a 57 cc plenum, and a side-lever cocking mechanism.

• P-3: A newer, high-powered PCP rifle available in multiple calibres (4.5 mm, 5.5 mm, 6.35 mm, and 7.62 mm). It has a 70cc plenum, a fast “assisted valve” system, and a side lever for cocking.

• Mora: A precision rifle with a 60 cm barrel, adjustable two-stage trigger, and a high-capacity air bottle. Models are available in .177, .22, .25, .30, and .35 calibres.

• Mora Compact: A more maneuverable version of the Mora, with carbon-fiber air bottle, twin regulators, M-Lok rail, and a compact form factor.

Technical Strengths & Innovation

• Modular Design: Many RTI rifles are highly modular, allowing changes of barrels, calibres, and probes — giving shooters flexibility.

• Regulator System: Several models (e.g., Priest II) come with externally adjustable pressure regulators, enabling fine control of the rifle’s power without draining the air bottle.

• High-Performance Valve: The P-3 rifle uses an “assisted valve” design that closes very quickly (in ~1 ms), improving efficiency and power delivery.

• Trigger: RTI rifles often have a two-stage trigger with very fine adjustment, enabling precision shooting.

• Suppressor / Sound Reduction: The Priest II supports RTI’s “Hušh” suppressors, available in aluminium or carbon fibre. 

Market & Reputation

• Competition Success: RTI gained major recognition when their shooters performed very strongly at the Extreme Benchrest (EBR) competition in 2019. 

• Global Presence: They are distributed internationally; for example, in the UK by specialist retailers. User Feedback: Owners praise the accuracy, build quality, and modularity. 

Challenges & Considerations

• PCP Infrastructure: As PCP rifles, RTI guns require access to high-pressure air (e.g., scuba tank, high-pressure hand pump, or compressor) to fill their air bottles.

• Complexity: Their modular design and advanced regulators may make maintenance more involved than simpler air rifles.

• Price: High-performance features and precision engineering mean RTI rifles are a premium product, so they may be more expensive than entry-level PCPs.

Summary

RTI Arms is a Slovenian airgun manufacturer focused on producing high-end PCP rifles that excel in both competition and hunting roles. Their key strengths are modularity, precision engineering, and innovative valve and regulator systems. With rifles like the Prophet, Priest II, P-3, and Mora, RTI is regarded as a leading brand for shooters who demand performance, flexibility, and long-term tunability.
