    cleaning barrel on FX Wildcat mk1

    After a few hundred rounds my accuracy degrades & I can see a build up of lead on the smooth twist. So, I scrub the last few inches of the barrel with JB non-embedding bore paste from the muzzle end. Works fine.

    Ballistic app

    I use both StrelokPro and ChairGun Pro. Strelok for the powder burners and ChairGun for the air rifles. Sadly, ChairGun is no longer supported by Hawke. I really like the projectile graph and overlay capabilities in ChairGun.

    Which Moderator?

    I have a Weihrauch on a 15 ft-lb Marauder pistol and it is very backyard capable - per ft-lb it might be the best in my stable.

    I went to the range the other day thinking I had my Atlas attached to my Wildcat. Turns out the Wildcat was wearing one of my Atlas rip-offs from Utah Airguns. For range trips the clones are fine - the Wildcat was perfect. Nevertheless, in my opinion the Atlas is a superior product in fit...

    Thinking you want her in a PCP, so this suggestion may not fit. Put her in an HW30. She will be able to cock and shot that rifle well. My girls started on an HW30 at roughly the same age. If she looses interest, you still have a great gun at a reasonable price.

    Slow Build Marauder vs FX Dreamline

    Great comments by everyone! I'll simply add another point of view. I have all three caliber Marauders and an FX Wildcat. All four rifles are really fun to shoot and all make me smile:) If you want to go "one gun and done" get an FX. My Wildcat is so sweet to shoot...trigger, accuracy...
