    Benjamin Optimum velocity

    It depends on the type of pellet. I found that in my .22s JSB jumbos like to fly a bit faster at 900fps while the standard pellets like to go 850-890fps.

    N/A Do PCP rifles normally leak a bit over time?

    Then you could have either nicked one of the o rings or maybe they didn't seat properly while reassembling. If the gun didn't leak beforehand then you now know exactly which seals to check. Use some silicone grease and lube the rings and reassemble the gun. Also keep in mind that it's good...

    RAW Rapid Are higher powered PCP's more difficult to shoot accurately?

    I can get 5 pellets in one hole (as long as the wind or my nerves last) with most of my guns but yes, each one of them has a specific grip it wants to maintain. FX Crown = thumb up and trigger in the center of the pad of the finger, one hand under the gun, light shoulder mount Daystate Delta...

    FX FX DRS Won't Cock (How to Fix) Mag also stuck in gun...

    Did you set the trigger or the spring? Because it seems to me that sear is not catching the hammer but the spring itself or something else before the hammer (I didn't strip my gun yet so I'm working from past experience). It seems to me that the gun thinks it's cocked when it's not. That's...

    FX FX DRS Won't Cock (How to Fix) Mag also stuck in gun...

    You can see the probe location if you look at the rifle from the side. You ALWAYS and I repeat ALWAYS first check where the probe is located and if it's not jamming the magazine due to different reasons (usually a badly set trigger or maybe a probe screw that gets loose). Then you can shear...

    FX FX DRS Won't Cock (How to Fix) Mag also stuck in gun...

    How the heck do you mangle a probe this badly? Ok the gun doesn't cock properly. Pull the mag out. You can't pull the mag out? Hold the lever and decock and try again. You can't decock? Remove all air and start stripping the rifle to find the cause. This was some next level magazine hammering.

    N/A Which of your airguns would you choose for a 60yd target for only one shot?

    FX Crown MK2 every day of the week. Every one of my guns would do it easily but I would grab that one.

    N/A Scuba tanks

    It depends on the country and how you fill the tank but they won't fill one in a dive shop if it doesn't have a test and is old. They need to be tested every 5 years here.

    INTRODUCING THE NEW FX LEOPARD

    Fx really needs to hire some more diverse group of designers. I'm not asking for much but can they at least hire one left handed designer to help make the guns? I would love to purchase a Maverick as well as this gun but I don't like eating my mags for lunch. I prefer real food.

    N/A Yet another buying help thread

    Everyone has their favorite rifle but I'll repeat what another poster wrote... If you ever purchase one gun then purchase a FX Crown MK2. I wasn't sure at first as I'm not that into classic rifles but damn do I like this rifle. I have pricier and you could say better guns but this is the one I...

    FX Are expensive PCPs worth it?

    I'll say what I always say.... I have guns ranging from 300€ - 3000€ and there is a difference. BUT it depends on you. Each of my rifles shoots lead just fine. Each of them also hits whatever I want it to hit and does it well. Sure the more expensive guns can pull off a single pellet hole at...

    FX Brand new Crown Continuum MKII with issues...

    Then check the trigger screws. Something is off there and the sear is either not engaging (if you feel the spring when letting off the handle) or is stuck and is keeping the gun engaged (if there is no spring tension when you let go of the cocking handle).

    FX Brand new Crown Continuum MKII with issues...

    Cocking a Crown is really smooth so there is little resistance to it. Did you hear a click when cocking it? If the gun was pre-owned I would check the trigger. Maybe someone messed with it. This should be a quick fix. If the gun is new then just send it to a shop.

    EDgun Edgun Leshiy 2 Questions

    REPR or EAR = old external regulator (works fine on my gun) Raptor = new version of the regulator Wolverine and Raven, Valkyrie = variations on the look of the gun I hope this helped. I have a .22 REPR model in 350. The bark is not loud. It is for the shooter as the action is near your face but...

    FX Do FX PCP generally hold an air charge well in storage?

    Sometimes you get an oring problem which causes a leak. As long as you take care of your guns that should be rare and you can quickly take care of it. I have nine rifles and two of them had a leak from the start. One from the day of purchase (Leshiy2 - leak on the gauge oring) and a Flashpup...
