Introducing the FX Maverick

Looking good! Let us know how that extended trigger link and cocking link feels to you. I'm not sure I am correct on that, but that's what it looks to be like from my angle. The sales reps leave out the good stuff mostly.

I have never shot an impact but once you get past the crazy long 1st stage, I do like the 2nd stage. I don't find it to be a super crisp, clean break but I can feel the breakpoint and hold it right there with no problem.
Cocking feels fine, can feel the linkage play but works and is smooth for what it is.
Going to mess with the trigger setup to see if I can take about half the 1st stage out and maintain the light break of the 2nd stage.

I noticed one of the reviewers also didn't like the long first stage and decreased it successfully, I just don't remember which reviewer it was.

Yeah, I'm used to it now, but throws me off moving to my other rifles.
Good news tho, stock no tuning, can get nsa 26.8gr around 950fps and 29.5 averaging 920fps, power wheel on 7. I'll probably wait for the heavy slug kit before I start going 34gr+. Satisfied with that on the lighter slugs. Bet the fx hybrids just scream out of it.
Now just need the damn weekend to get here so I can hang some paper up.

What side should the cocking lever be on for right hand shooters? Wouldn’t it be harder to hold it by the grip and reach up to cock it with your left hand while shouldered in the field. Do you think they should design a model with the lever on the left for bench shooting only? Impact mark 3 maybe. What are your thoughts

A couple on insta/fb from upnorthairgunner. Seems to fit perfect. I ordered a bag rider and adapter for the new style fx grip today. I don't mind the stock buttpad, but will prolly get the saber tactical buttstock from 'santa'

Just saw this posted on FB group Airgunology :
I guess this is not the latest FX innovation, dual regulators. Been used in HW100 for years.

Yes, but if it is already used by others for years, you can hardly call it innovation ?!
Innovation is something new and better

It is a new innovation for an FX product. I think many may be missing this part in their discussions.

If it wasn’t mentioned already, two regulators have long been a thing in paintball.

So it’s hard to make the claim of innovative since it isn’t even a novel use in a new application. Both are airguns.
If it works great, that’s what matters. I just think people generally have a low tolerance for claims of creativity or originality when those claims are easily discovered to be false.

Got my compact .30 and started dressing her up for next summer of groundhog hunting. I must sling my guns as I use binoculars and trigger sticks when I hunt so I just added a quick disconnect swivel mount on the rear side butt panel. I used one for a M Loc application so I had to grind the backside flat, then drilled and tapped the two holes. The panel comes off with two screws so it was an easy off the gun procedure. I have a quick disconnect picatinny mount on the bottle band I ran on my crown. There is a problem mounting the sling swivel on the side with the fill probe. The fill probe sticks out too far and pokes you in the back when slung barrel up. But there is no problem with it slung barrel down. It would be better mounted on the right side as nothing sticks out there but I also mounted a 45 degree mount on the front side rail to run a red dot scope. I like this setup and did the same thing on my Leshiy 2 for those times when an opportunity pops up say within 30 yards and you have the scope on 12 power and the focus out at 100 yards. This one is the Sig Sauer but I prefer the Hallosun with the sleep mode and solar power. Got to get the bag rider and the power kit and I’ll be ready. Haven’t shot it yet so nothing to report there yet.
