FX DRS LIGHT?
Anyone know more, about the FX DRS Light?
How does the Light differ, from the Pro and Classic versions?

FX New FX DRS Classic, Pro, and "LIGHT" ?
- Thread starter Airgun Al
- Start date
More taste!
I called Utah Airguns, to clarify this.
I was informed that the light, is simply the Classic version with the synthetic stock.
And light is is!
FX's website says 5.2 lbs for the .25 version.
My guess would be somewhere between 4.9 lbs and 5.0 lbs for the .22 and .177 versions.

I'm sure they will have an entire line up of tactical configurations like the dreamline, should be pretty awesome.

DRS is shorter, lighter, and according to FX's website, it should be more powerful than the Dreamline:Drs clasic Power no more than dreamline
FX's website says :
DRS PRO
.22 = up to 72 ft/lbs with 30gr pellet at 1040 fps
.25 = up to 73 ft/lbs with 36gr slug at 960 fps
Dreamline
.22 = 910 ft/s and 30 ft/lbs
.25 = 890 ft/s and 47 ft/lbs
Perhaps I am overlooking something???

In theory a lot less O-rings. There is no transfer port adjustment, there isn't a power wheel but I hope the tactical version will have that just like the dreamline tac vs classic.

70 ft. lbs of energy in a short .22 seems over inflated to me.
Im in the market for a ACCURATE, SHORT, simple, powerful, rifle with a classic wooden stock.
A "to go" gun, to keep by the back door.
With its overall length of just over 36" and 70 ft. lbs of energy, the DRS is certainly checking all the box's for me.

The 72 ft lbs in .22 is listed for the pro with the 700mm barrel, big plenum and whatever else. Hopefully, the classic with the shorter barrel puts up respectable numbers, but I don't think it'll be anywhere near 70 ft lbs.

I’m going to get the classic in .22 with a match trigger and then decide if I still want to keep my Dreamline. This platform begs to have a custom figured walnut stock made for it. I like the American classic style stocks without rosewood caps and sweeping cheek pads That the European Airguns have. Although a thumb hole would be nice too. Shame it doesn’t have some kind of power adjustment to easily go between light pellets and possibly light slugs. But that isn’t a deal breaker, I might get another in 25 just for slugs If I like .22.

Im probably going to get a DRS Classic in 22 Cal too. If they make 50FPE Id be happy. Thats enough to max out a Hades and maybe 17.5g Nielsen slugs, which is all you need for a walk around hunter.

Perhaps with its modular plenum, FX will offer different plenum options....
1 plenum for pellets, and a different plenum for slugs???
Just thinking out loud here.

I will buy clasic if the power adjustable and more than dreamline at 177 cal

I dont remember where I saw it but FX mentions there are different plenum sizes depending on what model you buy. The fake magazine poking below the stock is actually the plenum. Not sure they will be swappable, but I dont think Id like to have the PRO plenum version hanging down so much on the Classic.

No that would look silly i think, IMO you cant go lower than the trigger guard on the classic.
I am still enticed not least as Utah do list 600 mm barrel being a option in the .177 caliber.
Even if you then read the test there it clearly say .177 -.22 only 500 mm barrel, so the confusion are complete.
But it is a mess, you almost have different options every place you find that have the DRS classic listed, FX them self only seem to have 500 mm for .177 and .22 and 600 mm only come into play for .25
FX need to CUT thru the BS, update their own site / listing with the absolute facts, and start shipping these out.
And if the .177 classic can not do +35 fpe with heavier pellets like beasts or slugs, well my interest taper off like in El Capitan level slope.
