The RTI Prophet 2 is the latest air rifle from the Slovenian manufacturer. As the name implies, it’s an upgrade to the successful Prophet model.
So, what’s different about the Prophet II?
Essentially there’s improvements in three main areas: barrel, valve and breech block. So, these are not insignificant changes. The RTI Prophet II looks very similar to the original Prophet, however there’s clearly some big improvements internally.
RTI says that Prophet II in .22 caliber is equipped with the company’s lightly choked proprietary barrel (RPB) which delivers improved accuracy with both slugs and pellets. They are fitted with a huge double transfer port for maximum air efficiency.
The new breech block includes an integrated 70 cc capacity plenum to increase Muzzle Energy. Theoretically, you could put two extended plenums on the gun and gain 44 cc additional volume, but it is not needed.
By comparison, he capacity of the first generation Prophet’s plenum was 57 cc.
This enhanced plenum operates in combination with a new valve which uses air from the barrel to close faster. RTI explains that the valve opens from zero to full in 1 millisecond. The result is that the Prophet II can achieve high power from low HPA pressures and with increased efficiency.
The regulator of the Prophet II Performance model can operate at pressures between 80 to 180 bar (1,160 to 2,610 PSI).
