FX 400 or Daystate Renegade

Hawke Sidewinder 6.5 - 20 x 42 SF. If you buy a new Hawke you get a lifetime warranty, Hawke has excellent customer service. I contacted them 3 or 4 times over the last 5 years. Another scope I would recommend is a Sightron S-TAC SF with the MOA reticle. They have a lifetime warranty if you buy one new or used. 


Whatever scope you decide on get one that zeros down to 10 yds and shop around there are online stores that have good prices on scopes. http://www.hawkeoptics.com/sidewinder-65-20x42-20x-mil-dot.html

I shot and airwolf .177 its an awesome come.
​ even using the board that comes from the factory the shot count and power is awesome.
trigger is mazing too.

Raptaman,

On my FX 400 177 i use the Bushnell Elite 6500 2.5-16x42 scope. This is a TRULY amazing scope, who's only flaw is that it doesn't have more dots. I dope the gun and write the dope on the bell of the scope at 12x. so that I know exact point of impact out to 85 yards. Most of the shooting we do with the Royale's in .177 is for Starlilngs, Sparrows and Pigeons at Dairy Farms. We hunt ground squirrels as well with them for head shots out to 60 yards.

My friend uses the Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24 with mil dots. it's extremely sharp but has no side focus like the 6500. Our best pigeon hunting is at dusk as they return to the barns to roost.

The Royale 177's are incredible guns and deserve great optics.

The Air Wolf is water tight. Guys did a underwater test by taking an Air Wolf into a pool. Daystate warranties the Air Wolf for 3 years, if you had any water damage it would be covered. Electronic Air Wolfs have been in the market for years, I have not heard or read about water/rain issue.

If you install a custom board you will void the 3 year warranty and the custom board is not water proof like the original board. The custom board has been in my Air Wolf for about 18 - 20 months without a problem. I have not taken it out in heavy rain but have been out hunting/shooting and rain/moisture was on the gun. As soon as I got in I wiped everything down with Hoppes #9. The Air Wolf was fine.

I considered these two, and then went with the FX Royale 400. I guess mainly because of it reputation and the fact that it cost less.

It is due to arrive sometime on Mar 1.

Can't hardly wait.

Bought a .22 Wolf & Regal within the last two months. Both superb, topped with Bushnell Elite 6500 2.5-16*50. 



Couldnt be more pleased, the Wolf is perfect for 100 yard bench work and the Regal for portability. 
They both are laser accurate. 

"Raptaman"Delladog, beautiful rifle well done and thank you for sharing.
bltefft. good luck let us know how the 400 turns out for you.
Sam63, that is good news, no point in having an expensive gun that can't take the elements.

Will do.

The new FX royale 300 synthetic in .177 or .22 looks pretty awesome. Same gun as FX royale 400 except the bottle for people who prefer that kind of look.
