Fx wildcat mk2 problems solved?

ribbeschoer · Dec 23, 2019

fellow airgun enthousiasts,

i am looking into a new bp in .22 , with forward cocking ( i like a sidelever the best ) , i love to have a beautiful wooden stock ( walnut or laminate ).
i would really be happy with metal magazine ( that do not damage the anodizing on the breech ) and maybe the most important is the build quality! hate the idea of elecktronics in a airgun.

long story short, a had a long list, but the only BP that meet my "demands" is the FX Wildcat mk2

but i have seen a lot of comments and YouTube vids about problems with the Wildcat mk1.
but i am not so enthousiastic about FX anymore. ( mostly about the many problems with the Impact! for instance, how is it possible that the famous C3 part on the impact breaks so quickly?! it is a 2000 euro gun... )

i really love the looks of the Wildcat!

what are your experiences with the Wildcat mk2 ? what problems i can expect? or are the new models without problems now?

thank you for sharing your experiences with the WC mk2 !

I’ve got the WC in 30 cal and have been happy. It’s powerful, relatively light weight, very smooth and accurate. Only shortcomings I found is it can be subject to POI shift from a bump to the barrel and it won’t accept Predator Polymags. For the price (let’s call it 75% of an Impact), it’s a lot of gun.

The only problem I’ve had with my Wildcat MKII is the hammer spring adjusment nut came loose after 50 shots or so, and started backing out. I could have returned it under warranty, but ended up just buying a special “jam nut” from FX USA for $15. It’s been good ever since.

I have a MK1 WC in .25 and absolutely love it. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.

Picked up a hardly used 30 cal last March. Loved it so much I just picked up another used one in 25 caliber. My 30 is currently at 87 ft lbs and my 25 is at 55 ft lbs.

if you have your sights set on buying one, get it. You won’t be disappointed. If you don’t mind buying used, go back thru the classifieds at least 10 pages. There’s a couple for sale currently, but maybe they sold, I’m not sure. For awhile there there seemed to be around five being sold at the same time. That’s when I picked up my 25 cal.(thanks Rangur1!)
