The fact that the Swedish company FX Airguns is once again introducing 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 have come up with something truly unique – an air rifle whose air reservoir wraps around the barrel.
Air rifles of the FX DRS series therefore resemble sniper rifles at first glance. This impression is further enhanced by the modernised HP power plenum protruding from the underside, making it look like a magazine. The actual magazine, however, 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 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 inner surface that minimises friction during the shot. The air reservoir running around the barrel also serves as a jacket, 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 optional 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 to make any adjustments. 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 equipped with a symmetrical polymer stock with an unusually fine surface finish, a fixed cheekpiece and a fixed buttpad made of soft rubber. The sidelever is fixed on the right side, as is the lever-type manual safety. On the left side there is a manometer indicating the current pressure in the air reservoir, and the fully adjustable trigger with variable blade position almost goes without saying.
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 air reservoir. We recommend keeping the pressure at approximately 150 bar or higher. If the pressure drops below the regulator’s set value, the air rifle may be completely depressurised.
