I contacted JTS just after shot show and they said the Stealthhawk should be out this month.Yea, JTS previewed one at Shot Show that has the over barrel air cylinder and a more traditional wood stock, but haven't heard a thing about it since. It would be interesting to see an honest, side by side review of those two, since they should be priced closer to the same, i.e. half of the cost of the DRS!
I have the FX DRS 22cal in 500mm it gets about 30 shots per fill....thats it...it's definitely a great hunting rifle if your squirrel hunting or raccoon because it's so light....but for bench rest shooting...nah... The Barra and JTS might be more of a bench gun now if I gotten the DRS in 700mm then yes...curious how they are.. seems like I read 40 shots per fill on 22.. I'd prefer the old fashioned rifle configuration over the tactical, but it's very unlikely that I'd spend $1200 on the FX DRS traditional stock..
I've also been looking at the JTS that is supposed to be coming out.. so that would make 3 similar gun designs.. Barra, JTS and FX..
I don't plan on getting one soon, want to see how they get turn out..
I will say that Barra seems to have good customer service and parts.. most CO2 pistols are basically disposable but Barra offers rebuild kits for the Schofield.. and that's how it should be with everything..

That's what I read in comments on YouTube it should be out soon!!! But right now nothing but crickets.....I contacted JTS just after shot show and they said the Stealthhawk should be out this month.
I think Barra has the tan .22 in stock for $440, the other options said pre-order, but not the tan .22, that was on their site
From a few YouTube videos I seen I think it's better than the DRS....I have the DRS in 22cal....it's ok... kinda wish I gotten the 700mm. Maybe I would've gotten more shots per fill.....there supposedly coming out with a carbon fiber barrels for higher pressure fill so who knows????Yea, JTS previewed one at Shot Show that has the over barrel air cylinder and a more traditional wood stock, but haven't heard a thing about it since.

I thought it had a metal magazine and I read that Barra was going to have even all the parts available yet this year.. so I would think you could directly contact Barra for spare magazines.Welp, I went ahead and bought one in .22, should have it within the next week. Not a lot of reviews, but the few out there seem to be positive. I like the look of the cylinder around the barrel, I thought my first FX gun was going to be the DRS, but have backed away from that purchase. It’s been awhile since I shot a bolt action, no biggie though. Didn’t see anywhere to buy spare mags, ordered a few extras from CARM as it uses same mags as several other guns. We shall see…
Couldn’t find them on their site or Pyramids, they’re probably out there somewhere, I’m not the most patient person, besides I like CARM magazines.I thought it had a metal magazine and I read that Barra was going to have even all the parts available yet this year.. so I would think you could directly contact Barra for spare magazines.

I just got a 25 cal 250Z . The bolt binds up using both the magazines. It will allow bolt to push pellet into barrel but can't push bolt all the way in so I can drop handle and shoot. It binds so bad I have to wrap a rope around the bolt handle close to the bolt body and forcefully yank on bolt to retract it. I'm thinking it is binding on the metal side of magazine where pellet enters barrel. I would hone that hole a few thousands if I could find out how to disassemble/reassemble the magazine. Loads fine with the single shot adapter.Who got there Barra 250z and what do you think about it....??
Barra told me, in my correspondence with them, that they do now have spare magazines but they do not have them on their website yet. In fact, because I decided to fix my problem gun, instead of returning it, they sent me a spare magazine.Couldn’t find them on their site or Pyramids, they’re probably out there somewhere, I’m not the most patient person, besides I like CARM magazines.
I also saw Big Air(?) 15 shot magazine on the GTA, looks like a another good option for mags, 5 more shots than stock mag.
