. I think you will like it, I do own the Sniper XR in .177 and it is great gun imo, very accurate and always keeps the same POI from day to day. If you like to tinker and tune, it will likely be more work than with your FX. I haven’t had to tune mine, why mess with success.
My .22 Bantam HR not the XR has been solid from day one, almost three years and thousands of pellets down range. Zero issues, I regularly plink out to 102 yards on my home range. The XR is more of a good thing, not really a tinkerers platform but a no nonsense PCP that simply performs. It is very quiet with the stock shroud. A DonnyFl Tanto makes it quieter still but adds length and isn't needed. Two 5 shot groups at forty yards today, bipod, fist as rear rest.
Marko, I don't shoot for groups much at 100 yards. Most of my groups are shot from 40-60 yards, to confirm zero. My best ever five shot group at 104 yards was 1.5" ctc. sending JSB Exact Jumbo 18s. I have had four shots sub MOA at 100 yards and then blow the fifth shot out past an 1"-1.25" Almost everyday I plink at these two targets at 102 yards, always striving for and mostly getting first round hits. We know that even a mild wind will blow the JSB 18s around quite a bit at 100 yards. I bet a good shooter in good conditions, sending good ammo can get MOA at 100 yards, I just don’t think it is something to expect to do with regularity. The wind is subtly wicked at 100 yards.
