Nobody say you have to upgrade, the impact x and the mk2 are great guns, IMO most people would not even notice the difference between the two or the new liners

New FX liner
- Thread starter spyde82
- Start date
Posted this on the other thread but wanted to make sure you guys saw it as well as I think it explains well the rolling development and - constant quest to improve upon what we thought was formerly perfection - (See Centercut, the oxymoron was way more catchy and fun 
)
The Superior was conceived and created by Fredrik and FX Sweden to improve upon the existing. The tech really shines and was developed for the standard Superior first which absolutely shoots the pellets better in side by side, and the Hybrids side by side. Then the tech and secret sauce was applied to the existing slug liners and the Heavy Superior were born.
Keep in mind that in Sweden there isn't necessarily stock of all the various different manufacturers of slugs to do heavy R&D testing with. So we agree if you already have a Slug A liner that we at FX aren't here trying to say throw that away and pick up a Heavy liner. But we know what we have done has improved the overall liner, so of course we're going to make the inline change for those in the future that will pick up a Heavy Liner, or those that want to compare.
R&D with these new Heavy Liners (as they start to come in) will commence here at FX USA with Ernest leading the charge. And I'm sure at dealers like Utah Airguns, SPAW etc that are curious so you can have real world information before doing anything.
The only item on the market right now is the .25 standard Superiors, the rest is coming as an inline change as we have moved away from the old way of making STX barrels to this new and improved way.
No sales gimmicks or marketing as I'm sure everyone can see (if that was our angle, we wouldn't have created the forward thinking STX Interchangeable Liner system to begin with, much better to have a "new rifle with proprietary barrels that would make old rifles obsolete" if our goal was sales rather than the ability to upgrade rifles that are years old for the cost of just the liner).
Besides we have our hands full manufacturing! We just can't stop good progress and innovation when it happens. We just roll it out to provide the best shooting experience we possibly can.
Hope that helps clear up things a bit. Definitely more information to come as we get more testing on all the Superior Liners. Appreciate this forum and all the good customers (and you die hard FX'ers... and even you die hard FX-haters... it's fun to see you slowly converted
).

Centercut...I thought the same thing...wait how can one improve upon perfection?? LOL
I bought my .25 Liner A a month ago and now they are out with the Superior. D'Oh!
Think I'll wait until I see some comparisons with "huge improvements" or else I won't worry about it.
