Maverick is a brand-new PCP platform that was designed from the ground up for shooting heavier pellets and slugs. The designers from the Swedish company FX Airguns have put in a great deal of effort, resulting in a high‑performance and modular air rifle that is literally packed with state‑of‑the‑art technologies and smart features.
The Sniper version is supplied with an extremely accurate Sniper Edition barrel with a length of 700 mm. It was specially created for precision long‑range shooting. The design of the rifle of course still allows for easy calibre changes (the 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 prepares it for the second regulator. Thanks to this solution, the second regulator is not subjected to as much stress and the rifle delivers consistent performance with a minimum of variation. Both regulators can be adjusted externally so that they work together in the greatest possible harmony. The manufacturer recommends keeping the difference between the two at around 30 to 40 bar.
The FX Maverick also boasts the largest Power Plenum ever available on an FX air 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 filling pressure is 250 bar.
The enhanced match trigger is adjustable and ranks among the best we have tested so far. The manual safety is located on the right‑hand side of the action, just above the trigger. The stock also features 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.
