    .25 or .30 cal?

    .25 is cheaper, uses less air to get the same fsp (more shots). I say only go .30 if you plan on yote or pig hunting. You can still do that with .25, but you need to be more careful of shot placement.

    FX FX Maverick Compact .30 Cal - First shots review

    Got some FX Atomic and JSB Hades. Shot the Atomics with the same setting I used for my slugs. They are shooting crazy good. Only shot at 30 yards but they are going hole in hole. Second shot I took with them I though I missed paper because I only saw one hole lol. I'll try the Hades some other...

    What was your first PCP?

    First one was an avenge-x (.22), great gun. I just started with PCPs beginning last year. And now I have three.

    N/A Anyone sell just air gun "uppers"?

    It seems Krale sells the dreamline action (dreamline base as they call it). I may go with that. Edit: Seems they also sell the King and Crown as a base.

    N/A Anyone sell just air gun "uppers"?

    The DRS is a bit more (price wise) then what I was looking for (they also seem to be sold out of 22 and 25). It would be an great platform to start with. Only real problem I see with it is that there doesn't seem to be a way to connect your own air supply, I would be stuck with the over barrel...

    N/A Anyone sell just air gun "uppers"?

    This might be a stupid question, idk. But does any air gun maker sell just the main portion of the gun.... Like no stock/chassis or barrel. Just like the trigger, action, and/or the internals. Or anything similar to this sort of thing. The only thing close I could find that was close is pyramyd...

    FX FX Maverick Compact .30 Cal - First shots review

    Shot a little at 53y today, this is as far as I can shoot in my yard without moving some things around. With the tune I listed above, I was shooting inside my 1MOA circle targets. I did try the Zan slugs. They did not do very well. I don't blame the slugs, I think they are better suited for...

    FX FX Maverick Compact .30 Cal - First shots review

    I ended up getting the quick tune system, glad I did. It is way better then that power wheel for fine tuning. Shot some paper today. Had close to zero wind, almost never happens where I live, with a little rain. I wasn't going to shoot any today because of the rain but it's going to rain all...

    FX FX Maverick Compact .30 Cal - First shots review

    I'm having some trouble loading the mag now and my last mag I put in made the cocking really stiff. Has anyone else had this problem? Edit: Might not be all that clear on what I was saying. The trouble is loading the mag into the gun not loading pellets into the mag. It takes quite a bit of...

    FX FX Maverick Compact .30 Cal - First shots review

    I'm really thinking this will be my first mod I buy. I honestly don't care for the power wheel thing, but maybe I'll change my mind once I really play with it. Weather here looks bad this weekend so I won't likely have an update in a while.

    FX FX Maverick Compact .30 Cal - First shots review

    Yeah, I was a bit tired when I wrote this up. I knew going in that it wasn't going to be a long range shooter. I live in a high forested area, the likeliness of having to shooting 100+ yards is unlikely. If it can shoot at 50-70yards decently well, I'll be happy. I chose the 500mm because, as...

    FX FX Maverick Compact .30 Cal - First shots review

    Before I start this review. This is my first "expensive" PCP, all of my previous experience is with guns under the $1k mark. For all I know this gun is crap compared to guns at the same price range. Also, this review is from very little experience with the gun, it is a "first shot review" for a...

    FX Are expensive PCPs worth it?

    I agree, but the poll is not for the normies out there. The poll was asked on an enthusiasts forum looking for enthusiast's opinion. If you asked if a bicycle was worth $10k here, you would likely get a no from most people on the forms. But why would you be asking about bicycles here? It's like...

    FX Are expensive PCPs worth it?

    My state is odd when it comes to hunting with airguns. You can hunt almost everything with them except deer and turkey. Turkey here is only legal to hunt with shotgun, no clue why. There was talk about letting airguns into deer season but they couldn't figure out what part of the season they...

    FX Are expensive PCPs worth it?

    I got it in .30. I don't have it in front of me atm but I believe it came in with the reg at 110-120 bar and the HS is set at 7. I'm likely going to get the quick tune kit. Seems like a much better system for fine tuning then the power wheel that is on the mav. I did hear about the problems...

    FX Are expensive PCPs worth it?

    I want to thank everyone that voted on this and all the comments, way more of an outcome then I expected when I posted this. I ended up getting a maverick compact (along with a DonnyFL Koi mod). I looked at quite a few guns and this checked all my boxes. I haven't had the chance to shoot it...

    FX Are expensive PCPs worth it?

    I plan on hunting them at night and where I hunt at isn't that far from other homes. I like my neighbors (they are hunters as well and will let me hunt their land), so I rather not bother their sleep. I want to use a suppressor but don't want to be on the books for buying one, nor pay the extra...

    FX Are expensive PCPs worth it?

    One of the things that are drawing me more toward the FX then the Vulcan is that I like to tinker with stuff. I know many people would rather just get a gun and shoot and that is fine. But I love to mess with stuff. Having an external reg along with aftermarket parts is a large plus for me...

    FX Are expensive PCPs worth it?

    The only reason I put FX in the subject is because that is currently what I am looking at. The question itself is for any gun that is considered in the high price range. I'm trying to get a feel for how the community feels about expensive PCP rifles. I'm not just looking at FX rifles, just that...

    FX Are expensive PCPs worth it?

    If I do get a VP, the first thing I will do is replace the bottle with a Carbon one. I already have a spare laying around, so no real extra cost to me.
