so... seems the scuttlebutt the next version of the Wildcat will be with a bottle and external manometer.
FX Wildcat MKII next gen ....
- Thread starter farrahUSMC
- Start date
Any word on external adjustability? That would be the killer option. Wildcat has a baby with a Bantam.

I’m personally waiting to see what the Raw Chasis Mini/micro? Brings to the table. That may make my .177 short list for sure.

Bottled Wildcat? Ok I'm watching. Bottled Wildcat with external adjustments!?! You have my full attention! Steve @ AEAC did allude to something in the works that he saw on the factory tour. He also said that he thinks it will be out sooner rather than later. Maybe it will be a "Wildpact".

....oh, and make sure that the mag clip works well with slugs. Or include a dedicated slug clip and a sample pack of Hybrid slugs.

STOP IT! JUST STOP IT!! You guys stop encouraging them. Somebody needs to give Fred his meds. He's designing new guns and new versions of guns we already own faster then we can stand in line to buy them, Let alone afford them! This has got to slow DOWN! sylvan

Aeromat209, ENJOY, it looks class.
If FX release a Wildcat MK#, with a bottle and external adjustment, who would buy an Impact?.

i dont have a huge hang up with the bottle idea, BUT leave the rest alone! they already did away with the streamline. a perfect off the shelf gun. dont ruin a good thing. i say leave the wildcat as is!

I will admit that you have a point. My Wildcat (MK1) is the one AG of mine that I have never done any sort of tuning to. Never needed to. Heck, until recently I had not even cleaned the barrel - no need. But with a bottle and external adjustments my mind starts imagining the possibilities...... Keep a portion of the air tube for use as a power plenum, add an adapter and a bottle (not too big of one so as not to destroy balance), and KEEP THE WILDCAT LOOK. It also needs to stay in the Wildcat price point. Yes, I understand that this adds to the cost but keep it a Wildcat not a slightly less expensive Impact.
You are also right about the Streamline. I wish that I had one and would prefer a Streamline over a Dreamline Classic.

My little Wildcat Mk-1 is the most accurate PCP I've owned. It's a 22 and came off the first pallet of Wildcats received in the US by AOA. It's my go to gun and has 50K rounds through it. I've lost count. Tough little gun. rides around on the back seat of my truck. Thing is when it was new it would just stack pellets at 50 yards. One hole. Now thousands of shots later the groups have opened up to about an inch. Wondering if the barrel is wearing out. Was thinking of ordering a new barrel, but you suppose they even make the original ST for this gun any more? Be interesting to see. When I'm gone and the kids are cleaning out my stuff they will find this Wildcat and a 124 Fienwarkbau. sylvan

A gun like this already exists in the fx lineup. Its the dreamline bullpup. There is a version of the dreampup that has a bottle instead of an air cylinder as well as external manometers.

as much as i love my wildcat, i would never even consider the dreampup. the rear cocking lever is a deal breaker! and the robustness of the barrel isnt even close to the wildcat the way it floats. just not a gun for me is all.
