    FX Maverick strikes again, trash pandas exterminated

    I had a feeling I wasn't done with the trash pandas. The two little ones were spotted about a week ago on one of my security cams, so I knew it was only a matter of time before they'd get introduced to Mr. Maverick. Last night they came with momma, which I strategically took out first with a...

    Another trash panda down, big one this time!

    Been trying to get a shot off on this guy for about a week now. Finally got the opportunity last night and took care of business. First time I've needed to send a follow up shot in awhile. Distance was about 40yds, used my 25 caliber Maverick shooting FX 34gr at 915fps. First shot was to the...

    Eliminated entire trash panda family!

    New record for me, took out 4 racoons back to back to back to back. Saw the family stroll into my yard so I got set up and waited for a clear shot on mama. I wanted to take out the biggest one first as I assumed the rest would run away. Turned out I was wrong lol. I was able to dispatch all 4 in...

    First Groundhog this season

    I had seen this guy about 3 weeks ago run through my backyard, so I've been on the lookout since. Last year I had a serious problem with a family of groundhogs eating and destroying my perennial flower garden but I eliminated every one of them. Can't say I was too surprised to see one again this...

    Barracuda Hunter Extreme 25 caliber out of stock?

    There must be a serious shortage on these pellets, I can't find them in stock anywhere! I've been searching for almost a month now and when I first started looking, a couple retailers had them listed as "coming soon". I hoped they would have arrived by now, anyone have an idea when new batches...

    RTI Prophet Performance POI consistency?

    For those of you with an original Performance or Performance Compact, how's the POI consistency? I've read about early versions having reg creep issues after sitting for a bit. I'm shopping for my next rifle and reliable POI is a priority. I'm leaning towards a Taipan Veteran Long since I know...

    Taipan Veteran Long .22 25.4 MRD?

    Question for those that have had, or still own a Veteran long in .22 caliber. Does the gun shoot the 25.4gr MRD pellets well? I've read mixed results from searching in here. I'm trying to pick out my next .22 rifle and would prefer a gun that can shoot the MRD's well. I have a bunch on hand so...

    List of PCP's with adjustable power/easy to tune

    I'm interested in picking up another 22 caliber PCP. Right now I'm leaning towards a Taipan Veteran standard or long with the donnyfl speed dialer. I'm wondering what other quality guns offer easy to adjust power? I love the power wheel feature on the FX guns and know Brocock offers a similar...

    Field mouse vs 25 caliber Atomic pellet

    Took out this small field mouse at 30 yards with my FX Maverick in 25 caliber. I had just installed the Saber tactical butt stock and was outside at night getting it adjusted for use with my Oneleaf NV100 night vision unit. Low and behold I see a tiny set of beady eyes staring at me in a...

    25 cal Atomic pellet performing well!

    Recently I've been using the Atomic (fx hades) pellet for my small game needs. My 25 caliber FX Maverick is tuned to shoot them at 935fps, and they group very well at 35 yards. The FX 34g heavies definitely group tighter at the same velocity(one hole) , but I like the potential expansion of the...

    Cayden velocity drop

    When doing some chronograph testing yesterday I noticed my velocity had dropped noticeably since my last test. Last time I tested was after about 1000 pellets had been shot from new. I was getting an average of 890fps with FX 18's in 75 degree weather. Yesterday after at least another 1000...

    Maverick power wheel FPS drop?

    A quick question for other Maverick owners. Just wanted to know what FPS change is normal between power wheel settings with an "ideal" tune. Mine is a 600mm 25 caliber and I'm seeing a drop of 30-40fps from PW7 to PW6 etc. Trying to gather all the information possible to help me nail down as...

    FX Maverick 25 caliber 34gr pellet tune question

    Question for those who shoot the 34gr pellets from the FX Maverick in 25 caliber, even better if it's the 600mm barrel. I'm curious what velocity and tune that you use? I've been playing around with the tune on mine with the 600mm barrel and 11gr hammer weight. Right now my regs are 160/140, not...

    My first black squirrel!

    I was in the middle of re-tuning my 25 caliber FX Maverick when I heard my bird feeder being raided. I turned and looked, surprised to see my very first black squirrel. Unfortunately for Mr. Squirrel I don't take kindly to them destroying my feeders. Typically hades are my go-to small game...

    Are Taipan Veterans pellet picky?

    For those of you who are lucky enough to own a Taipan Veteran, I'm curious if they are picky about pellet selection? I'm extremely interested in one of those guns but was curious about that. For example my FX Maverick with the standard superior liner shoots most things really well. I really...

    Groundhog final boss defeated!

    Today was the day, I finally got a shot opportunity on the groundhog that's been eluding me for the past couple of weeks. He's been SUPER skittish, running away before I could attempt a shot. I think he's the last one remaining as I've taken out the rest of his tribe over the past 4-5 weeks. He...

    Huggett Snipe moderator question

    I'm shopping for a 25 caliber moderator and think I have narrowed it down to the Huggett Snipe. My question is do I get the 22/25 caliber size, or go one size up to the 30 caliber? It will be going on an FX Maverick 700mm barrel. Thanks for the help!

    Atn x-sight 4k pro 5-20 owners

    A question for any of you that own the ATN X-sight Pro 4k in the 5-20x, how's the picture quality when looking through the scope in the 10-20x range? I'm interested in the scope, but have concerns it will be lacking for daytime shooting. Anyone have any screen shots at those magnification...
