    New game. 50 metres, 100 shot groups!

    Okay guys and girls. As much as I love seeing people post pics of their best 5 or 10 shot groups, how about we change the game a little bit. I sat down this afternoon to see how many shots per fill I was getting from my Royale 400. (Just fitted a Huma regulator and a 500cc carbon fibre bottle) I...

    18.13 JSB Differences

    Hey guys. Just opened my latest shipment of 10 tins of 18.13 grain JSB pellets and noticed a big difference in pellet shape. Specifically the rear cavity being a lot deeper and the lines left from the mould more pronounced than an older tin from my last lot. The stickers both say 5.52 head...

    FX Royale 500 question

    Does anyone know the approximate power levels and shot counts of the later model Royale 500 with carbon fibre bottle on the 3 power level settings? Plenty of info on the 22 but nothing on the 25 cal. Thanks.

    How many Aussies on this forum?

    Hey guys. Which members live in Australia and are on this forum? I would love to follow a few more local fellas on here but its a bit hard to sort between all these great people. If you could post on this forum and say where you're located it would be great. Ill start. James from Toowoomba...

    Slugs vs. Pellets Noise

    Hey guys and girls, With all of the new, wonderful craze of slugs going on, I have a question for anyone who has been involved in it to any extent. I live in one of the countries where an air rifle is classed as a firearm, along with any kind of sound suppression being extremely, ridiculously...

    My low power pellet design MK1

    Having had both a Royale and an Impact, I found myself with a Wildcat which lacks the power adjuster which I love for low power pesting inside sheds or in the backyard. It got me thinking that there are probably a lot of people out there that only have one gun or have a favorite gun that they...

    Who said Cats and dogs don't get along!

    My chrony mate, Rocket. It takes a special kind of dog to get along with a Wildcat.

    I'm sure you have all done it but this is weird!!

    Hey guys. So I hear my wife yell out from the laundry those words that I'm sure most of you have heard. "I found pellets in the washing machine again". Whoops! I went and collected the culprits and found some crazy results. All pellets are JSB 18.13 grain .22 cal. But a bunch of them came out...

    Fx Bobcat 22 questions

    Hey guys. I was going to buy another Royale since I really miss the power adjuster and original Smooth Twist barrel combination but there are none left at the Australian dealer/importer and to order one would take forever. Enter the Bobcat Mk2. I have looked at these for a long time but just...

    FX manufacturing lineup

    Hey guys. I have owned 3 FX guns so far (Royale 400, Impact X, Wildcat) and am going to go back and get another Royale at some point (shouldn't have sold mine). Does anyone know which models if any will be getting dropped soon? Are they still going to make regular smooth twist barrels (my...

    Can you wear out an airgun?

    Wondering what you guys think is a high number of shots for an airgun? Particularly pcp multi-shots. Apart from normal maintenance, has anyone actually worn out a breech block or other major component on a side lever/bolt action airgun? Mine have only had a few thousand each through them. What's...

    Crown magazine in Bobcat?

    Was just doing some pondering and was wondering if anyone has tried an Fx crown magazine in the Bobcat? I thought I remembered someone jokingly putting one in a Royale without a scope but maybe the tolerances aren't quite the same. Might be a useful large magazine for Bobcat owners?

    HW77K out to play

    Hey guys. Just got a bit bored and have been neglecting my Weihrach lately due to my love of PCP guns. Got it out for a play and it was shooting wonderfully at 25m even with my hand as a rest and in the wind gusts so I thought I'd run it over the chrony for fun. Pretty impressed with the shot...

    Fx crown questions

    I have a couple of questions for the crown owners out there. What's the point of the transfer port adjuster wheel if each calibre barrel has a different transfer port size? I'm about to pull the trigger (so to speak) on another FX royale 400 in 22. I love the 3 stage power adjuster on the...

    FX Royale synthetic vs laminate

    Hey guys. Quite a while ago I made the hard decision to sell my synthetic Royale 400 to a mate of mine who loved it. I used that transaction to fund another high end pcp (Impact X) and have really enjoyed the experience. It's a hell of a gun and I had no problems with it but I just miss my...

    FX Impact magazine modification

    Thought some of you Impact owners might have been interested. I found it a little annoying on the Impact that you can't see how many pellets you have left in the magazine. Especially when out hunting and may need a quick follow up shot. So here is a little modification I worked out. I'm sure...

    X Barrel Cleaning Recommendation

    Hey guys. Had my FX Impact X .22 for a while now. Got the hang of tuning it and having a wonderful time. I had a regular smooth twist 25 cal barrel on for a while and just changed back to the 22 X barrel. 22 is such a sweet all round calibre IMO and is definitely my favorite. Anyway, I was...

    Impact makes an impact

    First hunt with the Impact! This is the result of a 2 hr walk through our crops. JSB MK2 at 860fps does the trick.

    FX barrels. I want some thoughts on an idea.

    Okay guys. I have an idea, dare I say an itch that needs to be scratched. My first pcp was a Royale in 22 and have recently upgraded to an Impact X in 22 and 25. I really loved the power wheel on the Royale. I could shoot hares and rabbits at 70m on high then walk inside the sheds and shoot...

    Rangefinder for hunting?

    Hey guys. Looking to get a rangefinder for PCP hunting hares/birds etc. And would love some input. I don't need millimetre accuracy at 2000m or the price tag that comes with such a unit. I would think my requirements are the same as most of you guys which are. Good accuracy under 200m...
