FX DRS 500mm .22 The Back_Roads Experience

(1/10) > >>

Back_Roads:
 Well been one heck of a morning, had to ditch work to sign for this thing, first knock on the door gave me a religious experience I was not expecting on a Monday  :o ::) Then wat seemed like many hours later probably because it was, LOL, the Fed Man made his long awaited appetence :)
 Within minutes I had the outer box opened and was prying open the FX package, Ouch! Paper cut watch for sharp edges ;)
Take picture or it didn't happen, post it on GTA, run back down read instructions on how the mag works, loaded one up, oh no optics. Find the scope and mounts I had in mind, insert mag slip on weaver adapter, just clears the mag Yes!

 Mounted the  scope and get to sight in3 shots got me dead center with Norma 17.9gr. Ran a mag through and when satisfied with accuracy set up the crony, tag said 900 fps with 18 gr I am getting 900- 915 with the Normas, so close, more shots to see if regulator is working, will do a final reg test with weight sorted pellets.

 Trigger perfect, side lever buttery smooth when no pellets in the chamber, and not so bad when loading a pellet either.
On the other hand this thing is loud with the tune but still sounds efficient, I added a Rocker LDC to the end and that made it quiet enough for the basement test, but a barrel tube sized chubby would be nice ;)
 Now not to sound like I am instant FX fanboy, I have $300 or under rifles that will give this FX a run for the $, my DAR gen3 .22 will be going head to head with the DRS I bet it will be close.

 PS When I took my Crosman 362 off the rest I could not help but notice the  Unscoped FX DRS is lighter than the lightly scoped 362.

ranchibi:
James, CONGRATULATIONS! Beautiful DRS and have much fun shooting it!

Ronfiveo:
Congratulations on the new rifle, James.

Back_Roads:
 Thanks guys, lets see if I get spoiled and only go to the FX forum LOL

Back_Roads:
 Well I had enough time yesterday to see if it can shoot 30 yards accurately, yes it can ;) Hope to stretch it out today between rain showers.
