FX I simply can’t resist new tech! FX DRS

Likely I'm missing it?
Having the barrel housed in the airtank looks solid with no need for barrel clamps?

It may strengthen the outer barrel, but remember there is still a gap between the barrel liner and the outer housing. That is why FX also sells the carbon sleeve.

Yes! And that is why I always install/epoxy carbon sleeve liner. At least to me it fixed all the issues I had with orings.

It’s unclear exactly how the DRS is coming tuned from the factory. I received my .22 cal 500mm DRS shooting the 18 grain pellets at 900 ft./s, others received theirs shooting the 15.9g or 14.3g at the same velocity.
So I figured I’d put mine over the chronograph to see how many shots I’m actually getting. Looks like exactly 30 shots off a 230b fill with an average of 898 fps. I think thats pretty good considering it only has a 200cc cylinder.
Looks like it dropped off the reg about 135b.
I wonder what the shot count is with either the 15.9g or 14.3g pellets at the same speeds?

Nice, very nice! Thanks for posting Michael!
I'm looking for a light, quick handling airgun for off hand plinking and as a carry-around stalking rifle for squirrels. Been mostly using springers in this role, figure that the DRS will be an ideal PCP for this job.
For most cases I prefer picatinny for mounting scopes but recently had a problem mounting a MTC COPPERHEAD to the Avenge-X. The picatinny on the rifle and rings, plus the short tube on the compact COPPERHEAD scope severly limited where the scope could be mounted.
The bad news is that I needed to get a standard scope for the Avenge-X, the good news is that I already have a nice, light scope for the DRS. Glad that the DRS has a Dovetail!
Planning on getting a .22/600mm DRS when they are available in Canada. Figure that the extra 100mm will net me a bit more velocity plus more volume in the tube for a slightly higher shot count.
Cheers!

Keep in mind that the carbon fiber barrel tube should give another 9 or 10 shots with a 250 bar fill. I know more money but I think it is worth the extra $. Hopefully there will be a medium size plentum too.
