    FX Wildcat .22 power loss and other issues - Resolved by great customer service!

    Hi hsnmz I got a brand new rifle and did a quick review on another post. All good so far. Ron at Youngs is asking FX about the trigger seating. It is bad on the new rifle too at both ends of the trigger bar. I hope to get some advice info after the holidays. Cheers

    Wildcat=best platform for hunting?

    Hi Jclee I have the Wildcat in .22, with scope and long shroud, weights in around 8.5lb. I have taken a number of rabbits, hare, pest birds and turkey's with it, using 18gr JSB's out to 50+ yards. I think it is great in the field and very accurate, when the shooter does their part. I did make a...

    FX Wildcat .22 (Second gun) "Review"

    I really like this 22 wildcat I have. It loves 15.89 gr JSB’s and the 18’s are close enough to same that’s its hard to tell if it’s them or me. 50 yards generally gives me one ragged hole. Shooting with a Atlas bipod and rear bag. Hi Kitplanenut, I am hoping to improve my accuracy with more...

    FX Wildcat .22 (Second gun) "Review"

    Hi Poorshot, an old pair of socks with some rice? There are lots of alternatives to brand bought sand bags, as well as bags of sand, a pair of jean legs and again socks, preferably with no holes. I did get a Harris S series bipod and now looking at the FX barrel clamp to mount versus drilling...

    FX Wildcat .22 (Second gun) "Review"

    Hi Poorshot, I agree if the trigger linkage is a batch problem FX should send care packages. I am the only one who has said anything, on here at least, to my knowledge. I have not heard from Johan yet but will keep you informed. I wanted to give the gun sometime to settle in, I was 500 pellets...

    FX Wildcat .22 (Second gun) "Review"

    Hi Guys I thought I would follow up in the interest of 'keeping it real' with a review, of sorts. I had a few problems with my first WC and thanks to my retailer, Young's here in Auckland, New Zealand, I was given a new rifle. Johan from FX was also very helpful and had offered, subsequent to...

    Wildcat Issues

    I would say I am happy, so far but I have been here before. it would be interesting to see what was going to put 'fixed' on the other gun but I won't see it. It was a straight up swap so no chance of seeing these things after the care package has been sent. I would like a redesign on the trigger...

    Wildcat Issues

    Hi Poorshot, I am at about 10 magazines and all is well. It seems to like the 18gr, which is a blessing! I have shot 3 rabbits and a hare, plus a couple of Mynah with it. I have the same issue with the trigger, this time both the front and back linkages have popped out. It is not a major but...

    FX Wildcat for someone 6'5"

     I am 6'2" and the Wildcat in .22 shoulders really well for me. The .25 is same configuration just a bot longer. I put high Hawke mounts on with my Hawke TAC 30, they do the job. I do think there is a movement towards adjustable though and I feel that I would have benefitted from going to the FX...

    Wildcat Issues

    I was contacted by FX to have my gun repaired at my retailer. The gun was already on its way to be replaced, hoping this is still the outcome as it will be faster. Great service from Youngs and FX, Johan. I would like to have the gun returned to youngs and then we can send them a care package...

    Fx wildcat .22 problem

    Hi Drunk I absolutely agree with your comments re problems and how they deal with them. Both FX, Johan, and my retailer, Youngs Airgun Centre in Auckland NZ, have both stepped up. Youngs first, we are in the same time zone, offered to replace my Wildcat .22 with a new one. Johan, via email...

    Wildcat Issues

    I saw it. I am going to give Ron a call this morning and ask if he will test that one but he will need to put 500 shots through it or there may be no difference. It is all about logistics, gettin guns from Auckland to here etc. I will keep this thread up to date. Have you parted with your hard...
