Well I maxed out my 22 cal 700mm drs classic with 34 gr pellets 970s my red wolf can do that I may have to look into making a brass hammer weight . Any one else shooting drs classic 700 that speed sound right I was hoping 34 gr slug would do that
FX Drs classic 700
- Thread starter Airgunmann
- Start date
Just goes to show how important a large plentum is for power. At stock set up these are fine for pellets and light slugs, which are what they were made for. Especially the 500mm . Don’t fault the gun, FX stated that this was a pellet and light slug slinger . My 600 x .22 i with the small plentum is doing 860’s with 34 grn pellets. I could probably get it up to 900 fps with the larger plentum but I want at least two magazines of air for hunting in the woods. The gun shoots Great with light pellets and slugs and can be tuned to the 900’s so that’s where I’ll probably wind up. Reminds me of some Target .22 rim fire rifles I have had that only shot target or standard velocity well. High velocity hunting ammo was awful so they had their limitations too. I have a Dreamline which offers more power, more shot count, and a power wheel so you can switch between projectiles quickly. I bought this DRS because I liked the looks and simplicity. Once I decide where I am happy with it I’ll leave it there and be happy. I have a .30 Wildcat if I need more power.

What is your reg set at ?
I would think that a slug power kit will be needed to get more FPS.
I haven't tried setting my reg above 155bar yet on my 22 700. That will shoot the .218 34gr H&N Heavy 945 fps.

.22 34gr pellet out of a drs at 970 blows what would be my expectations out of the water. Def sounds like great performance to me

Yeah it's good I'd like to step it up just a tad with out beating it to death is my goal though as far as reg setting it seems to fall off about 2000 psi or about 140 bar I tried higher but my hammer is tad light if I get any higher I'll be happy with about 900-930 with slugs would be nice

The DRS Pro has the slug power kit
If the DRS is like my M3 I gained close to 15fps with the pin probe alone.

Why doesn't fx make the rifles from the factory to shoot slugs? They KNOW people buying these rifles will typically shoot slugs, if not you can turn the power down. Just another way for them to squeeze money out of people. Same as the barrels they use.....need a carbon liner, then add more things that should be done at the factory.
Especially when you figure what these guns costs.

So far I found you can get away with the head of the hammer being 7mm wide and still cocks at full hammer spring tension the other thing I found is the hammer weight spring guide fits throw the adjuster if I wanted to make a little longer to gain back that 1/2 a gram I took off to lengthen the stroke of it
