The fact that the Swedish company FX Airguns is once again coming out with a high‑performance and exceptionally accurate PCP air rifle is no great surprise. Their air rifles are already renowned all over the world. This time, however, they have come up with something truly unique – an air rifle whose air cylinder wraps around the barrel.
Air rifles of the FX DRS series thus resemble sniper rifles at first glance. This impression is further enhanced by the modernised SHP power plenum protruding from the underside, which looks like a magazine. The actual magazine is, as usual, inserted into a slot in the middle of the classic 11mm dovetail rail for a riflescope and holds projectiles up to 11.3mm in length (0.45”).

Superior Heavy Smooth Twist X – As is customary with FX products, the barrel rifling is pressed from the outside. The result is an exceptionally smooth inner surface, which minimises friction during the shot. The air cylinder routed around the barrel also serves as a shroud, a so‑called shroud, which stiffens the entire air rifle and reduces oscillation during the shot. The outer diameter of the shroud is 34mm. For possible installation of a sound moderator, the muzzle is equipped with a standard 1/2UNF thread.
To maintain the sleek appearance of the entire air rifle, the adjustment elements of the AMP MkII regulator and the hammer spring have been moved inside the stock, which must be removed in order to adjust them. However, the air rifle is factory‑tuned to provide the best balance of power, accuracy, and air consumption with most commonly available ammunition straight out of the box.
This model is fitted with an elegantly shaped walnut stock from the renowned Italian manufacturer Minelli, featuring a fixed cheek piece and a fixed buttpad made of soft rubber. The sidelever is fixed on the right‑hand side, as is the lever‑type manual safety. On the left‑hand side there is a manometer indicating the current pressure in the air cylinder, and the fully adjustable trigger with variable blade position almost goes without saying.
NOTE: With this air rifle it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining pressure in the air cylinder. We recommend keeping the pressure at approximately 150 bar or higher. If the pressure drops below the regulator’s set value, the rifle may completely vent its air.
