FX Wildcat MKIII

[rcs9250]

Wednesday I received an FX Wildcat MKIII Sniper from Utah Airguns. Thursday I retired. Yesterday I mounted an Element Optics Helix on it and this morning at 7AM was at the range sighting in. First photo is first two shots at twenty yards. I thought the second shot missed the paper all together but when I walked down I could see the second shot was ever so close to a single hole. I zeroed the scope then moved target to thirty yards. Second photo is 17 rounds through that hole with JSB Diablo 18.13gn. There was a target paster there but the third shot drug it right through the cardboard. Last photo is four rounds at fifty yards.
I do believe I definitely own a shooter. Absolutely pleased with this rifle.

Very nice shooting gun, and even better performance by the shooter!

Double congrats - on you new Wildcat, and on your retirement.

Was this the Bottle version or Standard? Either way great groups...

Great shooting! What power settings are you using?

TMH, Thank you, looking forward to some serious range time.
Mikebeggs, the Wildcat is the aluminum cylinder one, not the new carbon fiber version.
Ronw828, total factory or Utah Airguns settings. Reg is 100 bar and the adjuster is the number 2 straight up at the 12 o’clock position.

I like the new cats and am getting close to pulling the trigger on one myself. You def got a shooter with that one however, at the end of the day it all comes down to the guy behind it. Great shooting and... congrats on your retirement!

Today I took the Wildcat back to the range. Yesterday I received a set of Vortex high rings so that I had a proper comfortable cheekweld.
Started sighting in at 20 yds then 30, then 40. Picture is two rounds at 40 yds using NSA 24.8 gn slugs. I had to walk down to see if what I was seeing in the scope was true. 50 yds was a little under 1/4” group.
I had cranked up the hammer setting on back of gun one click. That’s the only adjustment just to get a harder hit on the critters.
This rifle is awesome.

Just tuned up a Wildcat sniper MKIII .30 tube version for a fellow (PROSPECTIVE SON-IN-LAW) and wow at 50y it was running through same hole. The wildcats came a long way since the older models I owned. I say you will enjoy your new gun a lot, especially retired.

I got the compact in .22,shoots great with 18.13 grain pellets and 25 grain H+N slugs.
Congrats on retirement and a great gun.

I have an original WC. smooth twist and even after thousands of shots it is sd till a tracker to 50 and beyond.its 0nly limited by the smooth twist barrel.
Limited power and no tunability for heavier pellets and slugs
I jumped on the Maverick @ first release. Didn't know they were working on WC MARK 3! Still might!!,

I've had a .30 Wildcat 600mm for a little over a month. Bought it as a VP as I wanted the 600mm barrel and swapped the aluminum bottle for a 480cc carbon fiber barrel. Mine also wears a Helix (6-24) scope. Mine can shoot the .30 Hades pellets at 92 ft/lbs of energy on P/W #7, but I'm shooting it on PW #5 at 85 ft/lbs. Like yours, mine is scary accurate. I put a target out at 25 yards and fired 4 7 shot groups. The largest group was .280", the smallest was .129".

Had?! You still have that cat, right? The one you bought before RMAC?

 

[cmatera]

Still have. That's the one.

TMH, vielen Dank, ich freue mich auf eine ernsthafte Reichweitenzeit.
Mikebeggs, der Wildcat ist der Aluminiumzylinder, nicht die neue Kohlefaserversion.
Ronw828, Gesamtwerks- oder Utah Airguns-Einstellungen. Reg ist 100 bar und der Einsteller ist die Nummer 2 gerade nach oben in der 12-Uhr-Position.

Glückwunsch zum Ruhestand.
