FS/FT: FX Verminator MKII Extreme Regulated 0.25 Takedown Air Rifle/Air Bow
This is the updated version of the venerable pellet/air bow take-down platform from FX. There is nothing wrong with it, it’s just time for some new toys and I can’t justify adding any more guns to the safe without moving something along. I’d consider a trade toward a Maverick, Impact, or possibly a Dream-lite or Dream-tac compact bottle.
In addition to the typical FX advantages like boringly consistent accuracy, exceptional trigger, smooth action, and exquisite engineering, this version is regulated and multi-power. It’s also the ultimate prepper’s tool, with tool-free disassembly for transport/storage into a briefcase-sized case, and you can swap the 0.25cal smooth twist barrel for an airbow barrel (also tool-free). The 500cc reservoir offers a huge shot string, especially at the low or medium power settings. Run it as a compact, high-power hunting rig, or add the included extension/moderator at lower power for backyard or even indoor friendly plinking.
Includes:
It shoots ragged hole groups at 35yds and 50yds with the usual suspects:

It shoots ragged hole groups at 35yds and 50yds with the usual suspects:
- JSB King 25.39 (Level 2 power 697FPS/27.4FPE - Level 3 power 873FPS/43FPE)
- JSB King Heavy 33.49 (L2 605FPS/27.3FPE – L3 777FPS/44.9FPE)
- H&N Barracuda Hunter 27.47 (L2 671FPS/27.4FPE – L3 843FPS/44FPE)
- Polymag 25s (I didn’t gather chrony data on these due to scarcity)

It also shoots everything else I’ve run through it at 1/2 – 1inch, but those four are my go-tos for consistent accuracy at all power levels and ranges, especially the polymags and heavies. I typically practice for windage and elevation holds at 35 and 50 yards using the King 25.39s on level 1 power (I don’t know the FPS) for great accuracy and a longer shot string than I care to count.
This is the perfect if-you-can-only-have-one PCP rifle. The gun is in perfect functional condition and has some cosmetic scuffs from normal field use. Asking $1500$1400 TYD or best reasonable offer.

35 yards, two power levels, 3 different pellets (lower power POA is 2 inches higher)
