    FX .177 Long Range performance

    After much experimentation with FX Dreamlines and other Crowns with ho-hum accuracy, I finally got some really promising results with my FX Crown MKII Saber Tactical. I had a .177 600 mm barrel that I tried in another Crown that didn't seem to work well for me, so I put it in the Saber model...

    Shot show fallout

    So every year, the manufacturers introduce new guns with new features. It's mind boggling for sure. So do you think the new DRS Pro will shoot any better than my Crown MK2 Saber Tactical? I don't think my wallet can stand this.

    Accuracy Inconsistent?

    I weighed this tin of JSB 33.4 gr MK2 pellets. Maximum weight variance was 1.5 gr. If you want consistent accuracy, you have to start by weighing your pellets.

    The Next Breakthrough in airguns

    I had the privilege of shooting my friend's newly acquired Huben GK1 pistol. Needless to say, this thing is hugely impressive in many ways such as trigger, rifle like power and shot count. The thing that impressed me most is how efficient it is in air use. With reasonable power settings, you...

    Pellet traps

    Because I live in Wisconsin and am "trapped" all winter indoors, I shoot in my basement using a steel 22 cal rimfire bullet trap. While it is effective in containing anything from .177 to .30 cal pellets, it spits out lead particles up to 3 or 4 feet around it. I shoot a lot and am concerned...

    Utah/FX Warranty Service.

    I found a defective part on my FX Wildcat 22 barrel assembly and contacted UTAH. They advised me to send it in. In a little over a week, the barrel was returned to me with the replaced TP. Needless to say, I was floored by the quick turn around and repair. I thought FX-USA was pretty good...

    Gooey Scopes and Rangefinders

    I have a Tasco red dot sight and a Nikon rangefinder. Both are rubber covered and now have become gooey and sticky on the outer surface. I've tried cleaning them with alcohol and Simple Green detergent, but nothing seems to get them clean. The tacky surfaces seem to attract dirt and are not...

    FX New Bottle Installation

    When installing a new, empty, air bottle on a charged gun, is it necessary to de-gas the gun first?

    Black Friday deals?? Meh!

    I thought the offerings of Black Friday deals in the airgun world were rather disappointing. Mostly items discontinued or others with a minor discount. The only real deals were for Arken scopes, but that's been going on for a while. Otherwise, no guns or big dollar items that would tickle my...

    Mueller Optics

    I have used Mueller scopes for many years when I first got into air rifle BR shooting. Their 8-32 Target Dot scope works well and for less than $300 is a bargain. I now have gotten into more sophisticated stuff, but I would not hesitate to buy another Mueller scope. This new 6-24X50 scope has...

    FX Wildcat Trigger Pin

    I recently bought a new Wildcat MK3 Compact and when I received it, the trigger didn't work. After removing the stock, I found the trigger pin missing. I contacted UA who promptly send a replacement. Now, after several months of use, the pin fell out again and went south and I couldn't find...

    FX Wildcat decision

    I'm considering the purchase of a Wildcat MK3 VP in 25 caliber and replacing the aluminum bottle with a 480 cc CF bottle. I like the 600 mm barrel length. Those of you that have that combo and shoot slugs, what brand slugs and diameter does this gun like the best with the standard superior...

    Airgun Ballistics program

    Since big brother has decided to divorce us from Strelok and other ballistics program because we might shoot our eye out, why doesn't someone in this august airgun community take the bull by the horns and resurrect either Strelok or Chairgun and make it available through this forum or one easily...

    FX Wildcat MK3 Comp BT tune

    I have a 22 cal Wildcat MK3 Compact BT. It was set up fairly well from the factory, but I wanted to bump up the power a bit but still be able to shoot pellets and slugs without sacrificing much shot count. I found that the OEM hammer weight was 11.50 grams. I had some other weights from a...
