Dont forget the carbon tube for the barrel, and a better regulator, a spare $100 magazine and all the other things you will have to buy

Got my GK1 good to 50 yards and 2 FX’s I think I’ll hold off. Might look at the Leopard when it comes out.

At least some FX hate always trickles into these threads. My three FX rifles have been totally trouble free. I guess you stay with a brand until you are wronged by it. So far I am an FX fan.

Due to FX’s innovations and constantly pushing the envelope of accuracy distance and power and also making $2000 Airguns more mainstream and acceptable they have pushed the rest of the industry to better themselves in order to compete. 10 years ago you didn’t have $500 airguns that were relatively accurate and decent power @100 yards nor did you have any that could take out a Starling @ 200 yards. Now we do.
Even though I own 2 FX’s I am not an fx fanboy and will admit that they are finicky and their QC leaves a lot to be desired once you get past all that they are amazingly accurate, tunable and very modular. After saying all this I can’t wait for the AGT Urugan 3 to arrive in the U.S. so that I can get one or maybe the new FX Leopard.
Alas too many choices and not enough money.

wow never seen so much negative over innovation isn't this what progresses the air gun world?
i have roughly 10 air guns from 3 FX ,taipan vet2 Agt urgan 2, Brk sniper xr magnum etc.
my ghost hp supposed to be a very good gun according to reviews mine was unfixable after the 4th time back.
the dealer refunded me and now a new leopard 25 600mm bottle version will replace it.
my good friend with his new Agt Urgan 2 just had a catastrophic failure that split the main body when he fired it, dumped the tank in a split second
he ended up on the ground holding his head and will say i have never in my life seen this also1/2 the gun was frosted.
he is ok just rang his bell and now thinking 2wice about getting another AGT brand because of this, it's all it takes.
i told him it wouldn't hurt to try one of the new Day states he likes the black wolf hi lite he has had his eye on it for a short bit.
i really enjoy my 3 going on 4 pencil straw barrels cost me little over 100 and i can shoot slugs all day my old ghost
5-600 for a slug barrel and prey it works? fx makes their own liners or straws as some say and mine have been very accurate.
so why doesn't any other manufacturer doing it?
i like all my guns I'm not brand loyal but don't shame a company for innovation if it was not for innovation and technology from them there would be no new anything, they all have their issues don't care what brand it is
and not one gun i have purchased in any brand shot its best out of the box
if i have the funds and its reasonably priced is like to have another pistol beside my gk1
i like the fact they have barrel options along with a nice lite adaptable stock
on another Note FX needs to step up to the plate and get their version of the fix out for many m3 and m4 owners they have been promising and no results as of yet. But i don't condemn them this just more opportunity for other companies to do it and so far, i will say
that new single Oring plenum with the new Oring has been great in my m3 and m4s so i can't really complain other than it cost me some money and time
i could have spent 3500 for an air rifle that had that cold shot issue with no fix at all then what?
i don't know guys i guess i just rambled a little but what would happen if fx and day state went out of business then what?

I like it. Call it expensive…maybe, how many cheaper air pistols going to shoot as good? When you look at high end pcp’s $800 is kinda the entry price. I know someone will be like my P-rod will out shoot it for $500 or so dollars. In this hypothetical Price point I’m going to pay $300 or so extra dollars for regulator and all the external adjustability not to mention the well known accuracy that comes with FX as a brand. People often hating just to hate theses days; its like a reflexive “NO”. Time will tell but I’ll be saving my pennies for this one

I have to say FX is getting better , wow how many years I have seen the FX brand from the start in the USA, Lots of dealers would not carry them with the 98 % return rate with warranty,,, Stop paying money for the FX boys and turn your money back into your guns,,,
No FX hate here just watching ,

It's like the guy in the video didn't even know the GK1 exists. It better be way under $1250 or what is the point, unless you are a FX collector. It looks wide with a super complex loading/cocking mechanism. I'd take semi auto all day long over cock this, place a pellet, close this, then take the safety off, then fire system

I have one of those, which I really like. It is the PP700SA, but it's only $250. This FX pistol better be a whole lot more to be competitive with the PP700SA.

Theres always going to be that. There's those with some genuine grievances but usually it's people who couldn't handle the mental load of an over complicated fully adjustable airgun and maintaining many orings, or those justifying their purchase (usually for financial reasons).
The machining quality and adjustability are fantastic, it's potential in a box. The marketing tactics and rolling updates to clear parts shelves are a bit shady imho.
Soda straw guy has a bone to pick with them, and then theres the folks who just want it tuned out of the box that get overwhelmed and upset at the mental load after the financial beating they just took.
I'm still a fan and have figured out workarounds or fixes for every minor issue I've experienced. I DONT recommend fx to most people, just so I don't have to see misguided whining. I do like that the complexity gatekeeps a little when the expense doesn't do it first.
