Maverick is a brand-new PCP platform that has been designed from the ground up for shooting heavier pellets and slugs. The engineers from the Swedish company FX Airguns have really gone the extra mile, and the result is a high-performance, modular air rifle that is literally packed with cutting-edge technologies and smart features.
The Sniper version comes with an extremely accurate Sniper Edition barrel with a length of 700 mm. It was specifically created for precision shooting at long distances. The design of the rifle naturally still allows for easy calibre changes (Smooth Twist X technology). The barrel is shrouded and its muzzle is equipped with a thread for an external sound moderator.
This model uses a dual AMP regulator system. The first regulator reduces the air pressure and preconditions it for the second regulator. Thanks to this solution, the second regulator is not stressed as much and the rifle delivers a consistent performance with a minimum of deviations. Both regulators can be adjusted externally so that they work together in the highest possible harmony. The manufacturer recommends keeping a difference of about 30 to 40 bar between them.
The FX Maverick also boasts the largest Power Plenum ever available on an FX PCP rifle. Its capacity is 89 cm3 and, in combination with the dual regulator system, it delivers highly consistent results. The oval carbon bottle can hold up to 580 cm3 of air and the maximum fill pressure is 250 bar.
Improved match trigger is adjustable and ranks among the best we have tested so far. The manual safety is located on the right side of the action, just above the trigger. The buttstock is fitted with a height-adjustable buttpad. The rifle’s modular design allows the installation of a wide range of accessories using a total of four 22 mm Weaver rails.
