Classic or Tactical? Which do you prefer and why?
- Thread starter North East Airguns
- Start date
I have the Classic, but really like the look of the tactical! Very Black Rifle-ish! 
Will that Tactical plenum fit the Classic? What size is the Tactical Plenum?

Neither......
I'm mostly done with wood stocks and or classic/sporter styling. Many other options for better ergonomics and materials
Tactical? In this case Id be more interested if more aftermarket AR stuff would fit it directly. Dont get me wrong, I love the AR platform, just cant see being locked in the "Henry Ford model"..... (yes Im aware I could have it painted, cerakoted or dipped, but that only solves one aspect).
While these arent my cuppa tea, gotta hand it to FX for their understanding of the markets, and willingness to bring these lines out.

Ooooooh Ahhhhh, I love the look of the Classic but Tactical usually offers more options to better fit different users. I'd go Tactical.

Seriously at roughly $1000 each a serious airgunner could buy both for less than the price of other "popular" airguns. Or your could buy 3 for the price of one of them fancy overpriced English airguns.

I like the traditional style, I also like both wood and synthetic stocks, I don't particularly care for the tactical version.. the one thing that would make me a lot more interested in getting one is if it was available as a traditional rifle..real traditional as in good old fashioned open sights..
yes you could put open sights on the tactical and while that would be easier the stock being straight line, you have to have very tall open sights and that basically defeats the purpose..I like sights or scope to be close to the bore and that just doesn't work out with the tactical..

Gonna go Tactical here. I like the stocks adjustability for different shooting seasons. Coat in the winter, t-shirt in the summer.

just looking at your picture.. I'd guess you would prefer classic.. traditional wood stock.. would definitely fit right in this picture.

I have to say I prefer the tactical.
I am tired of the old bolt action rifle style like the 250 Z yeah the reviews show it's a very excellent rifle , but if it had the side lever I would buy one. I love wood as well but like the grip on the Hatsan
Sniper long very nice. I'm thinking bullpups are are kinda crossbreed between the Tactical , and the Classic. Love me a wood bullpup , but like the Zelos as well. I do like the new Avenge XL tactical look though.
