FX Well, I did it. New DRS Walnut

About a week ago I have finally had enough of the pesky squirrels scampering around my yard. Can't blame them, as I have 9 pecan trees, but I have warned them too many times. So, I grabbed up my FX Streamline, (which I have let sit for way too long) and sent 3 of them to squirrel heaven in less than 5 minutes. Got another later in the afternoon. One thing I didn't like about my Streamline, was the flex in the barrel. During my searching for a barrel band, I came across the New FX DRS rifles. I was instantly drawn to them. So, over the last couple days I gave been on a quest to find out as much as I could about the DRS. I just couldn't decide between a 22 or the 177. I ended up going with a 177 in Walnut, as I have a bunch of JSB Heavies and also a bunch of other brands of 177 pellets I had bought when I first got my Streamline. Also, most, if not all of my shooting will be less than 20 yards. I have a barrel band coming for my Streamline, but the DRS looks much better, in my opinion, and it will be a few inches shorter. Now the wait begins on it to get here.

My 84 yr old father just invested in a new Walmut DRS and loved it. His only concern was the diameter of the barrel/air cylinde…

You should be very happy with the DRS. I got the .22 with 600mm barrel. And stocked it in curly maple. I have been handling it by the barrel as though it was a regular rifle and have had no POI issues. Yes the shot count isn’t great but adequate for a hunting rifle. I am now thinking of getting another in .177 with 500mm barrel just because I haven’t had a .177 and I like the DRS so much it gets all my attention now.
