Thank you for this video. It is so timely for me as I ordered a 177-500mm in Walnut, yesterday. Can't wait for it to get here.

Thank you, Chris, for a wonderful review. I cringed when you started reading out our responses. I am an Italian living in America, and sometimes I forget the source of the great videos I watch. Thank you for sharing

Hi Chris, another fantastic detailed review and looking forward for more on the DRS, I have the .177 also and love it very easy to handle, looking forward to your reviews big thanks Rob.

I had a play with one yesterday. The weight is incredible and the finish of the synthetic stock feels perfect for an all night ratting session. Never been overly attracted to the big name manufacturers but this one is definitely on my radar.

Once again a great review and now you guessed it I own one now. You gotta stop doing great reviews. You cost me a fortune 😂

I had a T12 a few years ago and this reminds me of it. Light, nothing complicated and really accurate. The only fx I own at the minute is a fac panthera but I'm really tempted by this. Great review by the way 👍

maybe one to add to the collection 😛. Hope you get the FAC 600 soon so we can compare. Also hope FX adds a dust plug on future guns. A plastic plug won't brake the bank 😁

Great review Chris I would say a bonus having a pressure gauge on the side.

@hankvana2149 Ай бұрын

Thanks Chris! Looking forward to a .22/600 FAC DRS review! The 500mm comes with the small plenum and the 700mm with the large one... it would make sense (performance wise) if the 600 came with a medium sized plenum. Hope that FX would consider that, if not them, then maybe a third party like HuMa or SaberTactical would step up and offer a medium sized plenum. Cheers!

Nice review of the first FX I've ever been tempted to buy. Not too expensive, nice and light, decent shot count for an all-day carry, and really very good looking. Had to laugh about the 80~100m question though, sub-12 at that range and the slightest breeze has your pellet wandering all over the shop.

Try using H&N field target or AA Diablo pellets I find they work awesome, so much better than the jsb’s

Amazing rifle. Super light, super accurate, super quiet. Just got one from pickering guns. They also offer a 3D printed moderator that is super light and whisper quiet for only £60. My weihrauch XL was £120 & it's no quieter. (Not noticeably anyway) Mine stacks H&N barracuda 8 pellets. Which is excellent because they're very cheap. Better grouping than AA diablo field pellets & they're like £8 cheaper per tin. (£75 for 10 tins of 500 from Redbeck shooting supplies) Picatinny rail is also a must imo. Immersive optics 14X50 fits it like a glove. The huge field of view is so much better than traditional scopes.

I love mine, but I do find it doesn't really settle down until about 180bar, above that it can be a little inconsistent. I also found the QYS Domed heavies are the best pellet for mine out to 35m. However once I push past 35m then the JSB Exact heavies are better. I tend to use the JSB's when hunting just because of the consistency across different ranges.

FAC sounds good. Might get one just for kicks 😊

You can get a picatinny adapter comes in low and High with a 20moa that is sold separate £60/70 ish i have one fitted to mine gives you a bit more play with scope mounting..

You don’t need it though

@unclebob8139 Ай бұрын

@@bennyboytwin If your sticking a day scope on it yeah no reel need for it, but if your putting NV on it you may need one IMO, also nice if you can take a scope off and put it back on with little shift..

@dominicwhitehead8764 Ай бұрын

Accuracy and consistency are poor above 180 bar, once it hits 180 then it settles down and accuracy drastically improves.

@mohba01 22 күн бұрын

180 bar is very high for the reg.
