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 big surprise. Their air rifles are already renowned all over the world. This time, however, they came 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 enhanced by the modernised HP power plenum protruding from the underside, which looks like a magazine. The actual magazine, however, is inserted as usual into a slot in the middle of the classic 11mm dovetail rail for a riflescope and holds projectiles up to 11.3mm long (0.45").

Superior Smooth Twist X – As is customary with FX products, the barrel rifling is pressed from the outside. The result is an exceptionally smooth internal surface, which minimises friction during the shot. The cylinder routed around the barrel also serves as a jacket, a so‑called shroud, which stiffens the entire air rifle and reduces oscillations during the shot. The outer diameter of the shroud is 34mm. For possible installation of a sound moderator, the muzzle is equipped with the standard 1/2UNF thread.
To maintain the sleek look 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 to adjust them. However, the air rifle is factory‑tuned to offer the best balance of power, accuracy, and air consumption with most commonly available ammunition straight out of the box.
This model is fitted with a gracefully shaped walnut stock from the renowned Italian manufacturer Minelli, with a fixed cheekpiece and a solid buttpad made of soft rubber. The cocking lever is fixed on the right‑hand side, as is the lever‑type manual safety. On the left side there is a manometer indicating the current pressure in the cylinder, and the fully adjustable trigger with variable blade position hardly needs to be mentioned.
NOTE: The muzzle energy and muzzle velocity values were achieved with the air rifle set to maximum power and under ideal conditions. Actual values may therefore differ.
NOTE: With this air rifle it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining pressure in the cylinder. We recommend maintaining pressure at approximately 150 bar or higher. If the pressure drops below the regulator’s set value, the air rifle may be completely vented.
