The fact that the Swedish company FX Airguns is once again introducing a high‑performance and exceptionally accurate PCP air rifle is no great surprise. Their air rifles are already famous 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 HP power plenum protruding from the underside, which looks like a magazine. The actual magazine is, as usual, inserted into the 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 rifling is pressed in from the outside of the barrel. The result is an exceptionally smooth internal surface, which minimises friction during the shot. The air cylinder running around the barrel also serves as a shroud, the so‑called shroud, which reinforces the entire air rifle and reduces oscillations during the shot. The outer diameter of the shroud is 34mm. For the possible installation of a sound moderator, the muzzle is equipped with the classic 1/2UNF thread.
To maintain the sleek appearance of the entire 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 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 an elegantly shaped walted wood stock from the renowned Italian manufacturer Minelli, with a fixed cheekpiece and a solid buttpad made of soft rubber. The sidelever is permanently located 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 cylinder, and the fully adjustable trigger with a variable blade position hardly needs mentioning.
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 vary.
NOTE: With this air rifle, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining pressure in the air cylinder. We recommend maintaining a pressure of approximately 150 bar or higher. If the pressure drops below the regulator’s set value, the rifle may be completely depressurised.
