The fact that the Swedish company FX Airguns once again comes 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 have come up with something truly unique – an air rifle whose air cylinder 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 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 standard 11mm dovetail rail for a riflescope and holds projectiles up to 11.3mm long (0.45”).

Superior Heavy Smooth Twist X – As is customary with FX products, the rifling of the barrel is pressed from the outside. The result is an exceptionally smooth inner surface, which minimises friction when firing. The cylinder routed around the barrel also serves as a shroud, the so‑called shroud, which stiffens the entire air rifle and reduces oscillations during the shot. The external 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 clean 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 in order 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 equipped with a symmetrical polymer stock with an unusually fine surface finish, a fixed cheekpiece and a fixed butt pad made of soft rubber. The sidelever 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 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 differ.
NOTE: With this air rifle it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining pressure in the cylinder. We recommend maintaining the pressure at approximately 150 bar or higher. If the pressure drops below the set regulator value, the air rifle may completely depressurise.
