The One Even my Veteran Fears...

June 22nd will be my fifth anniversary as a member of AGN. During that time I've extolled the virtues of products that worked for me and tried to pass my positive experience along to others in the sport....The Taipan Veteran and Daystate Huntsman are such examples...My personal favorites...However I have another airgun that pre dates both of my favorites by at least a year bought new about five years ago and in that time it has proven it's self, consistently, absolutely, no grey area, positively without a doubt to be THE gun I can shoot the best time and time again year in and year out, I shoot groups OFF MY KNEE that just make me giggle...think I replaced the breech oring once, pulled it out while cleaning years ago, been no leaks or issues...I did have a cracked mag replaced I'm the beginning. The design of this gun is genius the way it holds and fits and that smooth twist barrel is just amazing...I'm referring to the FX Bobcat Mk2...mine is in. 25cal. Worst thing I can say about it...It's UGLY (to me) I hate synthetic stocks and it is a "big boys gun" bench/target only, if someone can tote a Bobcat through the woods their a better man than me! Dead accurate on both power levels 650 on low 900 on high with JSB 25s shoots the 33s a little better on high at 775, high shot count 150 on low 90 on high...been years since I checked that...I don't post this lightly...I always regret buying this one as I prefere "show ponies with "pretty wood stocks"...This story needed to be told...I've shot the best groups of my life with my Bobcat and keep it on it's preformamce alone...but it will never be displayed on my wall...UGLY!!!
Groups are typical...the one hole in wood was years ago a"5 stack" best ever the

rest just a few examples @ 30 yards...can do it any time wind permitting...off my knee no bench.
 
Great to read something like this, I strive for the day 4 or 5 years from now I still have a rifle I have today, so far I've not been lucky, but I only blame myself. I have heard these bobcats JUST SHOOT! from many others as well.

Happy shooting and enjoy!
I had three other original smooth twist barrels two Wildcat Mk1s and a Streamline, there is something to these barrels I can tell you that...still hate selling the .22 Wildcat with the walnut stock...others must feel the same way cause you sure don't see many of 'em for sale...especially with the Laminate or Walnut stocks... you just don't see 'em!!!
Hangin' on to the Bobcat...!

I with you, many air guns come and go, but my "huckleberry" is my Brocock Sniper HR I bought myself as a retirement goodie 5 years ago. Never had an issue , always spot on and ready to go whenever I have to dispatch a pest (starling , cowbird, grackle) off the bird feeders . I can keep my shots within 1/4 to 1/2" at 45 yards. As they say, if it aint broke...........don't fix it.
