FX Wildcat .25 Thoughts

- Start date
Well. Norway here too.
got mine from Børselars today, but it is the .22. Already have the .25 Bobcat.
the w.cat in .22 is just an awsome gun to hold in your hand. Absolutely weightless! This "rifle" deserve a lightweight scope, and I will start with a compact 4 magf. Illuminated sight - just to keep the weight down.
this is what to expect: (in .22 that is......)

Were the magazines for the Wildcat available for purchase from the shop where you purchased your air gun? If so, how much?

Hi nelo64, yes I see the pix is removed....?
by the way, I ordered a spare magasin but got it in Bobcatversion. Have to return that. I didnt' order a filladapter, but it came along with the rifle. A foster which I connekted to my quickfilladapter (daystate and bobcatconnection) with a male. There was a leak between the foster and the male connektor, so I had to put in a washer - the metal type with a rubberringwasher in the center you know.......
here is a couple of the pix -
No success. Using my dropbox then: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0one2b4ljsxynv9/2015-05-22%2016.36.45.jpg?dl=0
Not quite bullseye for this topic, but here is a fotocomprison between the bobcat .25, the wildcat .22, and my weihrauch HW 45 - just to see the diffrence. Took the wildcat on the test today and zeroed the scope. Yes I'm very, very pleased! Quiet, accurate, very easy to handle - this is more like a toygun, but it BITES!!

You did say that your Wildcat was the .22 version right?
I have been looking at the images you posted and it looks like the barrel is a bit longer than the one in the FX publicity images for the .22. Can you tell me if they are offering different barrel configurations?

Sorry Phil, can't confirm wether fx operates with diffrent barrelversions on the .22 wildcat.
So the reason for the longer barrel I really can not explain.
In the Industry announcements fx give the specs on overall length to 76 cm. I have now mesured my wildcat, and the overall length is 78 cm (30,5 inches I would belive).
http://www.fxairguns.com/cat/news/ Yes, there is a difference, and it is not a shorter cylinder that cause it.......
But maybe this is not a drawback. Considering this has become a remarkable quiet gun.

@Gunnertrones
No need to be sorry there Gunnertrones. I will say that the one you have looks a darn sight better than the one pictured on the FX site. I had mentioned elsewhere here that the barrel on the .22 looked just a tad too short for my liking, but that one of yours sure does look like it will fit the bill. Thanks for posting the photos.
What's it like shooting?

Sent you a message Phil. Mabye you have to go to your profile settings to get it - not sure about this direct messageposting.

Got it thanks. It sounds like it is going to stand up to all the hype. Hope so. I think it is also going to be interesting to see what Ted thinks about it, hopefully he will do a video on it in the near future. Yes Ted, that's a hint, nudge, whatever you want to call it. LoL
