This is my .25 FX Wildcat
Missing the scope and charge kit, but expecting it delivered on Saturday. Tempted to skip a wedding so I can shoot this beauty, but I don't think the missis would approve..
The cheekpiece is not possible too turn around due to the magazine. Hoping FX Airguns will make a piece to swap out with the existing one.

Very easy to load and to attach 
Also only two screws to release the stock from the action. Very available screws loosened by allen keys.
I do not think it's possible to uncock the rifle without the magazine cycling, so double loading will occur if the magazine is not removed before pushing the bolt forward.

Edit: Do tell, how does she compare to your expectations? Any surprises?

It's as expected, only shorter than I imagined. The cheekrest is not to bad for lefties either so that'll do it for me. Very light and nice to hold. I'm a little unsure of where to put the rear stud for the sholder strap. Dont want to come in conflict with the screws holding the but pad. Havent been able to shoot it due to the fillkit not arriving at the same time as the rifle.
edit: only surprise was that the rifle was placed the wrong way in the box. Looks like it has been opened to put the scoperings in but they must have checked out the rifle before closing the box again.

Also, it's not weapons locker friendly as it builds quite a lot with the scoperings. Guess thats the life of a bullpup owner.
I had to put the rifle in sideways. Not a problem for me though as that rifle is the only rifle I have required to be put in a locker.
Edit: when drilling for the stud, choose a smaller drillbit than you would for wood stocks. It will sit a little looser in this synthetic stock than a wood stock using the same drillbit. I learned by doing... I think it will be alright though.

Epoxy the screw in place or take the screw out put a few drops of cyanoacrylate glue (crazy glue) LET IT CURE and put the screw back in. Should be good to go.

@P.Shooter71 No problem
@ahobie17 Aluminium. Has a slight weight to it. Easy to load, yet some resistance when pushing in the pellets. Has a quality feel to it.

I'll bet it is killing you that you can't shoot it! Didn't it ship to you with a charge in it?

It does. Hope my sorrow brings you some pleasure..
No, the retailer messed up so the scope (Sidewinder 30 6-24x56) and the FX Charging kit shipped separately two days later. It will most
likely be here tomorrow morning and hopefully ill get a few shots off before attending a wedding.
In other news I glued that stud with araldite, and now hopefully it will hold.

Please let us know how it shoots, the whole country is waiting! USA, that is. I would also like to know your opinions on the trigger and how smooth the action is, thanks.
