That's a plus I'm still saving and stashing in my piggy bank when I priced the total setup bobcat it was 36 hundred bucks

what should be my first fx air rifle
- Thread starter bobby
- Start date
For what it is worth, I purchased a new FX Bobcat MKII .25 about a month ago and previously had only been shooting ~$200-$300 springers, in the air gun world. Holy moly. The Bobcat is extremely precise. I am sure the .30 is great. But the .25 is a serious slug of pellet in my opinion. I stayed away from the .30 as I wanted more shots per fill. My goal was to have something I could shoot 40-50+ shots out of before having to refill. Something I could take to a farm or two and clear out a couple barns of pigeons without having to pump. I bought the latest and greatest Hill pump and it is a great pump, but pumping sucks. LOL
I have not given the gun a chance to get to the 40-50+ shot mark yet but once I have some home remodel projects wrapped up, I will be doing so and setting up the chrony.
In short, I have smacked a woodchuck and a couple of squirrels so far and the impact damage is significant. I would classify it as catastrophic. .25 or .30.....you will be in love. The FX gun is very expensive, but even after owning one for only a month, it is worth the money. I own some pretty nice long range firearms as well, some that cost less and some that cost more than the Bobcat. I am totally happy with my purchase and my only concern is running out of targets! I waffled for some time about making such an expensive air rife purchase....now that it is done, no regrets.
Best of luck to you on your new purchase!!

I seen one on aoa for 400 under retail used but yea I'm going to try to go see Dave's I probably will go with the 25 cal for more shot count

It'll get about the same shotcount as the Boss, since they're both regulated and only have a 20cc difference in their air tanks.

I noticed how you said pumping sucks. It does, I have to do it too. But what if you didn't have to pump, instead you could use a compressor. That's what I'm gonna get. I'm getting the Omega Super Charger from Airguns of Arizona. Yeah, it's $1800, but it's gonna make my airgun life so much easier. I figured if I'm going to get serious about airgunning, I'd better get a compressor. I can't wait till I save enough $ to get it! Plus, even though that's not the cheapest pcp compressor, it has so many safety features, which are essential when dealing with high pressure air.

Go for the Bobcat .30....... You will have best of all worlds: powerful, accurate and short rifle!!!!....... Someone could tell you to wait for something that will eventually be in the market, but the hunting already is there!......Take the rifle now that you can, and enjoy!...... You wont be dessapointed....... I have and Indy and a Rainstorm II in Cal. .30, I like them so much that I just ordered a Bobcat in Cal .30...... For hunting from rabit to coyote and turkeys, there's nothing better!

I would wait for the impact. In the meantime I would tune that Marauder and get it shooting better or send it out and have it tuned.
