Harley is the most sold because a lot of older guys wanna get away from their wives and would look funny on a crotch rocket.I dont even know if factory sponsorship is done in air rifle competitions, but let's just say that it is. I seriously doubt that every competitor shooting any brand of gun is sponsored.
As for why are they chosen? Partialy because of performance, but mostly from marketing, and not an isigificant desire for bragging rights. Not all that different other popular products.
As an example, Harley Davidson is without a doubt the best selling motorcycle in this country and it is not because of the brands superiority.
I bought the Bobcat from AOA when it first came out, also in .25, was my first PCP. Amazing gun! All my FX guns have been amazing. I must just be lucky.Has been for me since '18...5 shots 49y. Bobcat .25....been doin' it from new. View attachment 458789

I gave up 2 wheeled vehicles after the ever increasing amount of distracted drivers. I watched a guy get pancaked into the median by some dumb girl on her phone driving down the highway. That was it for me.I'm an old guy and I ride a Honda.

I'm a long armed knuckle draggier, I look like a Shriner riding a minibike when I sit on them crotch rockets.....HaHaHaHarley is the most sold because a lot of older guys wanna get away from their wives and would look funny on a crotch rocket.
Especially the old solid mount pre evo motors. They used to rattle themselves apart!Harley=Milwaukee vibrator.
I’m 55 and my street bike is a super moto. But I wear a full face helmet so I only get funny looks when I pull in somewhere and take off my helmet.Harley is the most sold because a lot of older guys wanna get away from their wives and would look funny on a crotch rocket.
Doesn’t have to be full sponsorship. Just perks can be good enough.I dont even know if factory sponsorship is done in air rifle competitions, but let's just say that it is. I seriously doubt that every competitor shooting any brand of gun is sponsored.

They are good rifles, however, there are others that are competitive too like RAW, Thomas, and Daystate, but they don't have all the knobs that you can twiddle the hours away with, Your results will vary.
I live in England and most of my rifles are FX. Air arms haven't changed most of their stuff in 25 years and I find it very dated...............Their springers are nice, but I'm not interested in springers.Deciding if the hype is real is an individual decision. Nobody can answer that question for you.
I think it is in the American market. FX has the power and the endless options we want.
If I lived in England where power is limited I would probably buy an S510 and pass it down to my grand grand kids.
Lucky for us there are a lot of great companies and products to choose from.
