In my pcp collection that includes FX, Air Arms, Daystate, RAW, Kalibrgun, Weihrauch, and Brocock air rifles, my FX air rifles are among the smoothest, most accurate, most ergonomic, and powerful. They are an absolute joy to shoot and I have no regrets.
The bad news, they require absolutely the most maintenance. Within the last year, I have purchased a .22 Panthera 700mm, a .22 Impact MK3 600mm, and a .25 King.
The old .25 FX Royale in my collection is superbly accurate and has only been resealed once in all of the years of service.
The Panthera was back to FX 3 times within the first three months of ownership before they were successful in stopping the leak off situation that occurred between shooting sessions.
Me new King and Impact are virtually new and both are now leaking off. I have not developed the knack of successfully finding the leaks, and they are still under warranty, so they will both probably be going back to the very reputable dealers for repair in the coming weeks.
None of the other rifles in my collection show the propensity for so many leak issues, but I enjoy the FX rifles so much that I tolerate this, and have just come to accept it and expect it as part of owning them.
This is not a complaint post, just letting those contemplating such purchases to be prepared to have some patience.
