Thanks TED for taking the time to share this. Can't wait to see your full video review of both the guns.

I shot both guns at 60 yards yesterday. Winds were up, so I could not do any "official" analysis. But, all signs point toward these guns being as good as the rest of the FX fleet. I was whacking 1" spinners, shooting off a rolled up sweatshirt on the hood of my truck. 
All FX guns use the same barrels, and all barrels are made in-house. There are no "grades".

Really appreciate your contributions to the community! Can hardly believe how much excitement this bullpup is generating. Looks like it is lining up with expectations and then some. =D

WOW! AoA's review states the Wildcat is getting 75 shots at 32 FPE out of a 230cc air tube. I'm no expert, but that sounds extremely efficient to me.

have to say the crono string aoa produced was less than impressive (in regard to it being a regulated pcp).
do it need time to settle inn like some off the check made pupps ?
good to see the video Ted

That sounds really good and according to the expectations. Nice report from AOA thanks to Fearnload and great great news from Ted! Damn i can'y wait to see your the full report and the days to pass to finally have it on my hand. I sold my 22 some month ago waiting for the wildcat to arrive and the wait is becoming too long, haha.
thank you again

How many rounds does the .25 magazine hold? Anybody? It may have been covered but I missed it if so.

So both the .22 and .25 mags hold 8? That doesn't seem right. They look to be the same size. Ted, thank you sir for the pics and video.

I got my BAZOOKA in the mail today! LOL! The box is twice as big as I thought it would be but, that's because there's a Wildcat case in there too!
I'll post pictures tomorrow. Or, tonight if possible but, it's been a VERY long and expensive day so, I may not have the energy. I'll also post some chrony #'s tomorrow. It;s a little early and maybe the regulator ha to settle but, It should give some an idea of what they might expect.
Happy Deliveries!

UPDATE: ....then to bed!
This is what was in the box. (Minus all the dang peanuts!)
Case opened. I'm sorry I thought I had gotten a pic of the outside. I'll post one up tomorrow. You can see in the picture above that the FX name is (screenprinted?) on the top left corner of the box. You can also make out the texture a little at the bottom below the FX logo. I also got some ST pellets and thats the scope I'll be using.
Also in this pic, is a guest appearance from La Muerte Peluda himself, Franklin!
.25 Wildcat and related paperwork. I also ordered a second magazine and fill probe adaptor.
Well, someone screwed up somewhere! I'm not sure how this is supposed to fit into that tiny little case! EDIT: They sent me the wrong size case. Simple mistake and the right one is on the way.
And there she is dressed in a scope.
It's QUIET! Not "Marauder quiet" but definitely nice and quiet. It's also nice and light! That was one of the things I didn't like about the Bobcat was the weight. This one takes all that away!
Something I've been wondering and finally was able to answer for myself.... You CAN load the magazine while it's in the rifle and you're shooting, up to 2 at a time. Excellent news because now, if I know I'll be shooting for a long time, I can keep loading and shooting without having to take the mag out.
I'm already impressed. I hit a metal T-post at about 50 yards, shooting offhand, standing, with terrible posture before I even attempted to dial the scope in! And, I did it quite a few times!
It's soooo nice to be back shooting .25 cal again! Happy!
