Since the .35 Cal FX Impact was released, anticipation for a barrel tailored to slug shooting has been highly desired. The long awaited .35 Cal STX Heavy liner as well as the perfectly paired .35 Cal FX Hybrid have arrived for those yearning to shoot .35 caliber slugs from their Impact.
Larger caliber slug shooting has until this point often been associated with subpar precision at standard distances like 100 yards. Shooters have had to be okay with groups as large as 2-3”, with assurances that a larger kill zone on game makes the loose precision acceptable. FX Airguns does not accept these standards. All calibers should be able to produce 1” groups at 100 yards and shoot at speeds that allow a flat trajectory that help accomplish this precision. This is particularly true when you pair the new FX STX .35 Heavy Liner with the new .35 Cal FX Hybrid Slug. (These were the same slugs many shooters were using at this years RMAC Big Bore Slug challenge consistently hitting targets out to 300 yards!!)
Extensive R&D and testing has taken place to ensure the accuracy and precision you expect from an FX Airgun in this new .35 caliber heavy liner. The FX .35 Cal Hybrid Slugs work particularly well with this new heavy liner and are available on the market. The liner can be purchased separately and added to any existing .35 Cal Impact.
This testing has also resulted in a new brass inlet on all .35 Cal barrels that will allow for even better accuracy for the .35 liner as compared to the previous design. This new design allows the slug or pellet to seat better in the rifling of the barrel. Note that the new barrel inlet only works with the updated FX Rear Power Block. (All .35 Cal FX Impacts now have the Rear Power Block and this updated inlet. Older rifles can be updated, see your local FX dealer or FX importer for more information.)
The STX .35 Cal Heavy Liner comes standard as part of the new .35 Cal Tensioned Barrel Kit. These barrels are available in either 700mm or 800mm. The tensioned outer carbon fiber sleeve provides rigidity that is perfectly suited to the additional energy and vibrations created by slugs. From a barrel harmonics standpoint, the tensioner system reduces the amplitude of barrel movement which results in better accuracy and more consistency. This aids both slug and pellet shooting particularly at the 800mm length.
The FX .35 Cal STX Heavy liner and .35 Tensioned Barrel Kits are shipping now to FX dealers. The new FX .35 Cal Hybrid Slug is also available now.
