    FX Old FX Royale 400 still holds its own

    Ok sweet! Had never seen one before. Though here in Australia we don't always get to see the full range on offer.

    FX Old FX Royale 400 still holds its own

    @Gr8Recreation Did FX make bottle T12's or is this a custom? Awesome guns!

    FX Old FX Royale 400 still holds its own

    I love how the simple old FX guns just keep shooting well, and looking good while they do it! This old Smooth Twist, un regulated Royale 400 with its clunky old steel bottle will average half inch 50m groups all day, everyday. After a new pressure gauge, and replacing a few seals I thought I'd...

    Head shot thread

    I took this little bunny at 48m with my HW97k, was shooting 8.4gn JSB's. Gun is detuned to 12 fpe but still plenty enough power when placing the pellets in the noggin!

    FX Had to share this one…..FX Royale 400 .22

    I bought mine used many years ago and still love it! I have a huma reg in the cupboard for it, but so far just can't bring myself to mess with it and install it. So it's still running unregulated and with the old steel bottle. Great looking and shooting guns. Tried to find a decent pic of the...

    What's your favorite shot group you've had?

    My most memorable group, possibly my best group? I shot out of my older pre reg .22 FX Royale. I was in the process of selling a gun to purchase a gun and decided it was the Royale that had to go. Figured I'd just check the shooting velocity and accuracy one last time so that I could reliably...

    @keesbo With such a solid front rest have you thought about making a height adjustable rear leg? Looks solid. Looking like a benchrest gun

    Crap weather, backyard range, pellet testing my new Uragan 2

    @keesbo groups look good mate! I'm hoping for MOA at 100m too when I get the chance. Pretty sure it'll do it. That bag rider looks neat and simple too, looks great. I just got a little package of some more ZAN, NSA, Javelin and H&N slugs to try too so will see how that goes. How did you go with...

    Crap weather, backyard range, pellet testing my new Uragan 2

    Yeah I'd be happy with that too!! And I agree, as much as I'm keen to see how the bigger slugs perform with some extra speed, I'd prefer to not sacrifice shot count. Anyway, at 40m the slugs are punching right through my 1 1/2 inch pine board, and then still punching holes through the tin fence...

    Crap weather, backyard range, pellet testing my new Uragan 2

    I just ordered some Javelins and NSA slugs, so will see how they go when they show up. I have heard/read that some guns tend to favour the .218 slugs. At some point i'd love the increase the velocity and then see how the heavier slugs start grouping. Either way pretty happy so far. Just need to...

    Crap weather, backyard range, pellet testing my new Uragan 2

    @keesbo Looking like you have your U2 pretty well sorted? Did the accuracy improve or become more consistent after you polished the barrel burrs out? I've not even had the stock off yet. Interesting about the shroud affecting the accuracy. The shroud on mine isn't even a working shroud. The...

    Crap weather, backyard range, pellet testing my new Uragan 2

    Yeah, so our government and media love to carry on about how good our gun laws are, that we stripped the country of all guns and all gun violence. Reality is, it's actually fairly easy to get firearms here in Australia, but you do need a licence even for air guns. Air pistols are in the same...

    Crap weather, backyard range, pellet testing my new Uragan 2

    Will do. Yeah I am hoping so. My plan for this gun is a walk around hunting gun for possums, rabbits and wallaby's. It's my first bullpup, and first gun I'll be running slugs in so is kinda fun getting used to it. The bipod ends up in a poopty spot for offhand shooting I feel, so I'll get an...

    Crap weather, backyard range, pellet testing my new Uragan 2

    Terrible but very much needed weather down here in Tasmania, Australia this past week. A week ago the ground was dry as a bone heading into our Aussie Summer. We switched over to our last tank of rainwater which meant rationing the water, giving ourselves restrictions on showers and water usage...

    What did you order / receive airgun related today? Thread

    It is actually a 700mm. Here in Australia our government doesn't trust it's citizens with moderators on our airguns, and deems a shroud as an incomplete silencer. So while technically an airgun shroud isn't illegal, our customs has banned their imports. Short story is, the shroud stops at the...
