The fact that the Swedish company FX Airguns is once again coming out with a high‑performance and exceptionally accurate PCP air rifle is not exactly a miracle. 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, however, is inserted as usual 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 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 when shooting. The air cylinder routed around the barrel also acts as a cover, a so‑called shroud, which reinforces the entire air rifle and reduces oscillations 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 whole 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 rifle is factory‑tuned to offer the best ratio 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, with a fixed cheekpiece and a fixed butt pad made of soft rubber. The cocking lever 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 hardly needs mentioning.
NOTE: The muzzle energy and muzzle velocity values were achieved with the 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 cylinder. We recommend keeping the pressure at approximately 150 bar or higher. If the pressure drops below the set regulator value, the rifle may be completely depressurised.
