I'm new to the PCP concept, so would be interested in your recommendations regarding making the business of refilling affordable. I don't shoot that often, so am not convinced that getting a compressor is cost effective ( £500-800)? Thoughts/suggestions?

    I had a play with one yesterday. The weight is incredible and the finish of the synthetic stock feels perfect for an all night ratting session. Never been overly attracted to the big name manufacturers but this one is definitely on my radar.

    I had a T12 a few years ago and this reminds me of it.

    Thanks Chris! Looking forward to a .22/600 FAC DRS review!
    The 500mm comes with the small plenum and the 700mm with the large one... it would make sense (performance wise) if the 600 came with a medium sized plenum. Hope that FX would consider that, if not them, then maybe a third party like HuMa or SaberTactical would step up and offer a medium sized plenum.
    Cheers!

    Nice review of the first FX I've ever been tempted to buy. Not too expensive, nice and light, decent shot count for an all-day carry, and really very good looking.
    Had to laugh about the 80~100m question though, sub-12 at that range and the slightest breeze has your pellet wandering all over the shop.

    Amazing rifle.
    Super light, super accurate, super quiet.
    Just got one from pickering guns. They also offer a 3D printed moderator that is super light and whisper quiet for only £60. My weihrauch XL was £120 & it's no quieter.
    (Not noticeably anyway)
    Mine stacks H&N barracuda 8 pellets. Which is excellent because they're very cheap. Better grouping than AA diablo field pellets & they're like £8 cheaper per tin.
    (£75 for 10 tins of 500 from Redbeck shooting supplies)
    Picatinny rail is also a must imo.
    Immersive optics 14X50 fits it like a glove. The huge field of view is so much better than traditional scopes.

    I love mine, but I do find it doesn't really settle down until about 180bar, above that it can be a little inconsistent.
    I also found the QYS Domed heavies are the best pellet for mine out to 35m. However once I push past 35m then the JSB Exact heavies are better. I tend to use the JSB's when hunting just because of the consistency across different ranges.

  • @dominicwhitehead8764
    @dominicwhitehead8764 4 місяці тому +3

    Accuracy and consistency are poor above 180 bar, once it hits 180 then it settles down and accuracy drastically improves.
