Thought it's time I do my first post here with an Indian Myna taken this morning at close range (26m).

I have the FX DRS Tactical .22cal FAC version in 600mm, topped off with DNT Zulus v2, shooting 18.13gr JSB pellets at 914fps. Had it out on the range the other day and it shoots like a laser....

Daytime longer distance and nighttime rat hunts coming soon....😎

From Cape Town, but living in California. I have a standard Plano case from Utah airguns for mine, but think I will have a look into having something custom made like yours (I'm sure it's pretty affordable in SA compared to the US). Looks sick.

Shaunper's case that he linked looks to be a Vevor 42" hard case by the way. I just got one myself lol. I'm quite sure that it's also what RTI ships their Moras in, just with custom foam.

Sweet! Checked it out and seems like a good quality product for the price. You happy with yours?

Very. Here's my Katran in it. Air Shootist gave a review of it on his channel comparing it to the Harbor Freight case if you feel like going through a referral link to help him out.

Mmm interesting....I'd be keen to hear about your slug experience... Shot count for me was way too low, like 14shots....and I don't like filling up every few shots...

Reg anything from 150-160 and then play with hammer... I tried Zan 20gr, FX Hybrid 22gr, Javelin 18gr (the pellet liner love these, however, they're not yet commercially available, only test phase, so we buy in small batches), and then also tried Javelin 21gr and 23gr....

got the gauge for my plenum.Apx ~115b on the 500. I went 23 clicks up from the 18.13s 880 at ~92b~

Now its 21.14 baracuda match 5.53@ 901.
Getting still ~32shots per fill. Still pleasant sounding. Good accuracy.

Sounds good.... I just decided yesterday to order the SHP plenum and side bracket for the regulator guage. Lots of benefits coming from the bigger plenum according to my research.

I'm going to tune for 21, 23 or 25 grain slugs, as this is about the limit for the pellet liner... but also because I don't really want to go slug liner in a platform that is meant for pellets and lighter weight slugs...

I'll be sure to post again with some feedback.

I spent many hours. Many fills many shots seeing just what my gun can do. And searching for a good slug tune.

125b
16 clicks up from.115

JSB knockout .217 25.39. 860-863fps stacking them in one hole at 25. But that's as far as I can shoot in the dark. Its shooting these just as well as jumbo heavy.
It did cut my shot count significantly. At about 24-25 shots now

Have you done this tune with the SHP plenum installed or just the standard HP plenum?

Was 115 bar the reg pressure out the box? Trying to get back to where my hammer and reg pressure settings were after I sent my rifle back for a service due to the stuck trigger issue... Was shooting 18.13's very consistently at about 880fps before the service.

Factory setting on most DRS Tactical regs (fac) is 90bar. Seen this on many platforms and discussions. The reg pressure in my gun, is my own tune

Thanks! Mine is at 115 bar now. They definitely messed around with the hammerspring and reg pressure settings when it was in for repairs then.

The more I tinker around with the gun, the more I'm finding FX knocked this one out of the park, why I've decided on the Leopard 700/22 and to sell my Impact. I saw the claim of 75-80 shots with 15.89 at 900. Its more than true. last night I lowered my regulator to 80-82 bar. I'm at very very low hammer spring settings. over 80 shots at 895 fps with the Jumbo Exact, Considering this is being used as a close to medium range bird/squirrel zapper that's perfect. I've ordered a good amount of light projectiles. the Benjamin 14.3 single die, jumbo exact, Atomic/Hades. Im buying the DRS pro base and dropping into the tactical furniture. The DRS/Dynamic system is really a step up for FX. Great system.
