First, I'm really looking forward to this airgun arriving here in the USA. A lighter, semi-auto Matador is how I view this new offering. I'd really like to see a wood version offered in the future (stock, forearm, "cheekpiece") or if not possible then a synthetic alternative in brown, like canvas or burlap micarta. Something that would allow the gun to be taken into extreme cold Arctic conditions (-72c) and not just disintegrate like most platics will. That is also an issue with the moderator baffles. It would be nice if these also could be offered in aluminum or titanium or even carbon fiber.
And for the questions that I have. Will all calibers offered have a magazine that will allow using Predator Polymags? Not that I'd use Polymags, I will not, but to have the ability to shoot projectiles up to that length would be a big deal to me. Also, will Ed be making another hunting for Capercaillie/Black-Grouse video, using the Edgun Fenix to show us all how capable it is for such tasks? And finally, when can we expect the .30 caliber variant to be released?

Unless I am missing something wouldn't Artic conditions render any Airgun unless? I have taken Pcps to Western US States in January and all seals shrank so much they didn't hold air.

I live in WA and have shot in well below freezing Temps with my PCPs many times. Not sure what your issue was but would suspect something else as I've never had an issue

Being freezing is 32 degrees, I guess its all open to interpretation. I am speaking of 0 to single digit temps for hours upon hours. I would think Artic Temps would be more severe, once back in warmer temps no issues holding air. I am not an expert however it makes sense orings will shrink.
I have heard of people wrapping hand warmers to pcps, however for me why? I can just leave the pcp and take a powder burner.
If plastic exploding in the Artic cold is a concern than a pcp would not be my choice just my opinion.

I missed the -72c in the OPs post. Yeah I mean at that cold I wouldn't mess with a PCP lol hell wouldn't be outside either.

I took some Pcps to Oregon for my 94 year old Uncle to see and shoot, as he had never heard of such a thing as pcp air rifle. I had them in his house, checked to make sure they were fully charged, then we went on a day adventure riding around with them in my truck shell. Later in the day got them out to shoot and what a fricken disappointment!! Completely empty, needless to say my Marine Uncle was not impressed!! Lol!!
