    Side focus is really hard to turn.

    My Hawke scope was too hard to turn . I dismantled it and loosened the little screws under the green plate and that solved the problem. It is very easy to turn now.

    FX Anyone got there FX DRS in yet??

    for what it’s worth my 600mm .22 with the large plentum and reg at 135-140 and 13 gram hammer shoots the Monster Grands at 965 fps and they are still the best shooting pellet from 800 up to 965 fps in my DRS. But it is very hungry on the air. About 9 bar per shot so only getting 10 shots. I also...

    DRS Orion the Iguana Hunter Mini Magazine VS FX Mini Magazine

    Have you tried your large Maverick / Dreamline magazine in a DRS? I ask because my Maverick and Dreamline magazine fits loose in the DRS block but your mini fits nice and snug.

    What a difference without cataracts

    If you get a tear in your retina which is a natural occurrence with age, it may result with a lot of annoying floaters. I did and tried to live with them for two years. I finally opted for a fairly new procedure where they flush out the floaters . I have completed both eyes this year and am very...

    FX Any plans for different sized DRS Plenums?

    Do you know the sub 12 DRS plentum is a solid piece of aluminum. No air chamber at all. I don’t know if you can tune it sub 12 with the standard plentum. That is why I would make a blanking plate to eliminate the plentum all together and the make the stock solid . Or make a floor plate and inlet...

    FX Any plans for different sized DRS Plenums?

    I like what you’re doing too. I have thought of doing a sub 12 version in either .22 or .177 to use as a plinking / practice offhand shooter. I shoot schutzen and stalking rifle shoots which I have to reload my ammo which is time consuming and expensive. Just looking to get something to set up...

    What a difference without cataracts

    I got my new lenses three years ag and like all above was very happy . 20/20 again with amazing colors. Only down side is the sensitivity to bright light and sun light. I just wear sun glasses when I go out or drive in the daytime. Unfortunately a year after I got the caturacts taken care of I...

    FX Any plans for different sized DRS Plenums?

    This DRS topic has gone silent. I have ordered a new digital gauge so I can get a more accurate reg preasure reading. I’m guessing I’m in the 130-140 range. I had a Dreamline 13 gram hammer weight I had not used so I thought I would give it a try in the DRS. Wow what a difference. I gained about...

    FX Any plans for different sized DRS Plenums?

    Ok as above I put two 5/8” x 2 1/2” wood plugs in the large HP plentum. I didn’t do anything else . I found that I got 50 to 55 fps more on average . What I did find was before the JSB 15 gr Hades at 1020 fps were the best grouping pellets but now at 1070 fps they were the worst. Originally I...

    FX Any plans for different sized DRS Plenums?

    i got my HP plentum today. Pulled the plugs and there is some angled milling in the two top plugged holes to open more material between the vertical holes. Just no way to mill anything off the top of the plentum. I took my standard plentum off and the way it is designed there is very little...

    FX Any plans for different sized DRS Plenums?

    Yes I figured that would be the case. I will have my large plentum this coming week and will evaluate that.

    FX FX DRS question

    I have the classic with 600mm barrel. I turned up the reg to 145 bar and tuned the HS to shoot the heavy 25 to 28 grn. Pellets. They shoot well enough for hunting but the barrel still likes the lighter pellets like Hades and Predators and 18 grain domes For best ragged hole groups at 40 yards...

    FX Any plans for different sized DRS Plenums?

    I wonder if it would be possible to mill off the top of the large plentum down to a point where it would have 30 cc + - volume. Then cut the four bolts the same length taken off the plentum. I ordered the large plentum and will evaluate if this could be an option.

    Better wood on air rifles

    Your collection of German guns appear to be pre WW2 and have been refreshed. I also collect pre war sporting guns and refresh the stocks and metal. Most of mine have needed to be stained as I’m sure yours have. I hate to see a German gun of this vintage that has been refreshed but the wood not...

    FX Any plans for different sized DRS Plenums?

    This is what the DRS needs to be updated to. Hell it should have been designed like this to start with. I swear FX has engineers and designers that aren’t shooters less hunters and dont have the capability to think like us end users. Not an uncommon problem in lots of companies who grow fast...

    Better wood on air rifles

    there are many species of Walnut throughout the world. They all have their own grain and color characteristics. Some turn dark with just clear finishes but some like English or European walnut are typically stained a reddish brown before finish On gunstocks. I say typically because there are...

    FX Reinforcing a synthetic stock.

    The FX SYNTHETIC STOCK is not very strong and is made to fit the action and barrels pretty tightly so it is supported from flexing. Putting a rail on one should have additional reinforcement in a bar inletted and epoxied into the stock rearward and a screw anchoring it from the bottom of the...

    FX Fx DRS vs Dreamline for 1st PCP

    As stated above you may be able to tune the DRS up to some good power with all the added accessories but the shot count will be like one magazine per fill Compared to say a Crown . That is where the more expensive Crown and other bottle guns shine, still fairly light weight with variable...

    FX Fist PCP....FX DRS....What Caliber Should I Get????

    I have had all the calibers in pump up and PCP rifles . No springers. I have always been a pest shooter from birds and squirrels up to Groundhogs. For what I do the .25 is my choice for hunting squirrel to groundhog size starting with the .25 grn. Pellets and heavier. A noticeable difference in...

    Best looking air rifle you've seen, owned or shot

    I like my FX Dreamline GRS so much I restocked my DRS with a little GRS and a Little DRS classic in the design. Used a maple stock blank I was saving for the right gun. It’s not finished yet . I want to checker the grip and forearm and may take some wood off the bottom and slim it up.
