    FX How to FX maverick tune?

    The post is a bit old but I thought I would add a few comments. First, I can vouch for the the Shooting w/ Phil Quick Tune System. It is a game changer for tuning the Maverick and completely repeatable. You will want to upgrade your reg pressure gauge to a digital gauge at the same time...

    What ever became of the fancy new FX ammo?

    I’m no FX hater (I have three of them) but FX should be embarrassed by this marketing hype. I see an announcement from FX and my first reaction is “I’ll believe it when I see it.”

    More scrutiny towards the airgun industry??

    I think more scrutiny was inevitable once the airgun industry started pushing slugs and building airguns with the capability of pushing them to 22LR power. If I tell someone I’m shooting a fancy pellet gun they think nothing of it. If I describe it as shooting .22 caliber slugs at near 22LR...

    New to PCP, How often do FX guys tinker vs shoot?

    I have three FX airguns, a Royale 400, a MK1 Wildcat and a Maverick Compact all in .22. The Royale is my favorite and is mostly a set and forget. I just shot it over the chronograph for the first time in about a year and could hardly believe how consistent it shot. Not only were my 40 yd...

    Tuning FX Royal 400 repair, still a very trusty platform. Video

    Napairgunner, Sweet looking Royale. I absolutely love mine and I’m never getting rid of it. That CF shroud, where did you get it? It looks like a nice upgrade. Thanks

    Tuning Reg creep and the Power Wheel

    Corvid Hunter, I have a Royale 400 that has regulator creep, it also has a power wheel. The first shot of the day is always a dry fire on the lowest power setting (so I don’t waste as much air and less noise). That one shot is enough to relieve the excess pressure of the reg creep and all...

    JSB Hades Ballistic Coefficient?

    Ronmcc4, A few people used their Lab Radars and were able to determine the BC for the .22 Hades to be .023 which happens to be the same BC StrelokPro has for the JSB Exact 15.89. I found this gave me good data out to 110 yards with an initial velocity of 905-915 fps out to f my Wildcat MK1. ...

    FX Royals

    I’ll second the Royale 400 as being a wonderful airgun. I’ve spoken to some of the guys at AOA and they thought it was the best gun FX ever produced (their opinion not mine). I’ve handled the Huntsman a few times and I would love to own one. You certainly can’t go wrong with either. ...

    How to choose a PCP having never touched/shot a PCP?

    I own an FX Wildcat and a Royale 400. They are both excellent guns. If I was just plinking in my backyard I would shoot the Royale. If the Continuum was around when I bought the Royale it probably would have been my choice. I’ve handled the new Brocock Bantam XR and it feels excellent in...
