FX School me on the FX Wildcat mk1

[bchannell]

I'm thinking of buying a WC Mk1. I've heard some chatter about the barrel moving around and poi changes. Is it anything to worry about? Any other problems?
I'd like to hear from anyone who has experience.

I have an MK3 and if i lean the rifle against anything even the slightest amount of pressure against the barrel causes a half inch to 1 inch shift horizontal for me. So now I store it on a caldwell rest when not using and the poi does not shift. Just be mindful of something when buying this rifle: it is ridiculously accurate in .30 cal at 50 yards (my max range)but does suffer from poi shift

I have had a WC MK1 .25 for many years. I bought it used - second owner. It has been the most dependable air rifle I own. It just simply WORKS. I have not had any issues with poi shift. I would not hesitate to buy a MK1 (for a decent price) but keep in mind that the MK1's are going to have a few years on them at this point and may need a reseal. Think I'm going to go out back and shoot mine now.

MK2 is rock solid. Hope to use it more, it’s a favorite. Lightweight, accurate, smooth, quiet, great ergos, looks awesome, just a favorite.
