    Hooked

    I do have one issue. I packed extra pellets around in a little zip lock bag. I notices some of the skirts got bent. I guess I need to bite the bullet and purchase a couple extra magazines for hunting. Are most of the FX magazines the same? Any suggestions? Thanks

    Hooked

    Several months ago I was interested and inquired on PCP airguns. Several of you helped me and I landed on an FX Royale 400. I got set up and have recently had some time to get back to it. I am still amazed at this rifle. Shoots 1 hole groups at 50 yards out of the box. I have taken it...

    FX Royale 400 ARRIVED!

    FX mounts showed up today and I got the scope mounted. Cleaned the barrel which was quite dirty/oily or something. Adjusted the mounts, shot 3 rounds and got her close. I then noticed the power setting was on * so I moved it to ***. The instruction manual is pretty vague about stuff. Not...

    FX Royale 400 ARRIVED!

    Is the magazine supposed to "lock" in or is it just held in by the closed bolt? Seem like it could slide out easily??? Thanks to all.

    FX Royale 400 ARRIVED!

    OK I came to a screeching halt. My scope rings are too low for the magazine to clear. Will those FX No Limit rings fix that. I'm down until I figure something out.😥

    FX Royale 400 ARRIVED!

    OK guys, with all your help and opinions, I think I am ready to go. Got a big box in the mail today. I will put the scope on her this afternoon. Got my compressor, extra Tuxing air drier, pellets, and now the gun. What do I need to do with the rifle before firing for the first time? Clean...

    Newbie FX Questions

    My newphew's father has an FX Bull Pup style 22. I am like you as they look clunky to me. I held it and he told me to shoot it, but I didn't. Felt pretty good actually for the little I handled it. I was surprised. Something FX appears inevitable at this time. Most likely the Wildcat MKII. ...

    Newbie FX Questions

    I am pretty sure I have narrowed it down to two choices at this time. The Wildcat MKII and the Royale 500. Reviews on the Wildcat says it is pretty loud which is a factor. Is the moderator that come with it from the factory all that good or will I need to purchase a better one. No deal...

    Newbie FX Questions

    A lot of choices for sure. You all have talked me out of the Impact for sure. I don't need the complicated stuff. I was leaning toward the Wildcat II but then again I am a traditional bolt action rifle fan as I have several Anschutz high end .22's, 22 magnums, 17 HMR's etc. Now you come...

    Newbie FX Questions

    I am new to air gunning and my nephew had me shoot his FX rifle and it blew me away with the modern technology. I want to hunt squirrels around my place and I want 3 things. Accuracy, accuracy and accuracy. Not wanting to tinker, modify or build anything, just shoot accurately out of the...
