    Excellent accuracy is a hallmark of the Vet - not to mention the reliability and the robust nature of these fine air guns. Russell, you amaze everyone with your skill whilst shooting from a knee.

    N/A The Venom Arms Company Story

    Originally I got 17 ft lbs with JPS 18.13 Jumbos. I changed out the spring and now it's shooting around 14 ft lbs. Much less "jumpy" and easier to cock. Important for an old guy like me.

    N/A The Venom Arms Company Story

    A little late joining in on this post. I acquired this Venom Verminter from a member who lives in Canada and emigrated from the UK. Based on an HW77 .22 cal imported by Hull Cartridge - Made by Ivan in 1986 with polished custom internals, setback trigger, etc. smooth as frog's hair. Recently...

    FX FX guns WITHOUT POI Shift Issues

    My new Royale (the last walnut 400 made) is fine. No POI shift. The way I have the barrel in the tripod is for photographic purposes only.;) 5 shots 25 yds

    FX Old FX Royale 400 still holds its own

    I love mine. Special ordered it last year - the last FX Royale 400 in walnut ever produced. What an airgun!

    FWB 300 vs HW 55

    I've owned both an FWB300 and a 55M. The FWB is a heavy weight airgun but it shoots rings around any 55. Also, the FWB 300 has a superior trigger and is a side lever cocker where as the 55 is a break barrel and has a refined Record trigger that is pretty darn good too. The 55M is much lighter...

    FX FX Walnut

    I almost gave up on the entire project but Mathias in Sweden came over here to the USA to compete in the Nationals and whilst here he got things squared away with Pyramid Air. I have some suspicions regarding the whole matter but can't prove any of it so I'll keep them to myself. The Royale...

    FX FX Walnut

    Mine is so-so. However, it's the last FX Royale 400 walnut ever made. I know this because I discussed it with the bunch over in Sweden when I ordered it. You can see the packing box in the background.

    What is your FAVORITE Air Rifle?

    My FX Royale 400. Possibly the last walnut stocked one made based on conversations with FX in Sweden. Yes, it's a blast from the past but this particular airgun has a really great trigger, it's quiet to shoot and accurate as can be. I give it a slight advantage over my Taipan Vet .22 Std.
