I've been looking for another rifle and the FX line keeps catching my eye because of the ability to swap out barrels to shoot different calibers, etc.
I the real world how many people actually have one platform that they regularly change barrels/calibers. Like shooting FT in .177 then EBR .25 and then hunting .30+?
Am I just deluding myself that I would change out instead of having separate dedicated rifles?

Not me it’s a pain to swap. I just buy another gun.

My experience get the caliber you intend to use the gun in, I have swapped from .25 to .22 then to .20, with my Escape UL I may go back to .22 as I bought a Talon SS in .20 ???

I have a few FX airguns and different barrels/calibers for each. Some can be a pain to swap calibers, but one is really very easy. The M4 Impact can be swapped in a matter of minutes. Just 2 grub screws, one for the barrel, one for the probe and you're done. Tuning to a new caliber is very easy as well, just a quick adjustment of the power wheel and valve adjuster and you can go from .22 to .30. I have 3 barrels, the .22, .25 and .30 all 600mm and actually change them more than any other FX I have.

The king of all caliber swaps is the Edgun Leshiy Classic. I don’t do
Any adjustments to mine when swapped.

Sounds like that is the ticket! I will have to do that to some of my Crosman 160 HPA clones, as I really like the simplicity of the platform.

I have 5 dual cal springers and a couple pumper pistols. I have them cause I can, no real utility. Just to have something different. Like a springer repeater, I had two Mendoza springer break barrel repeaters long before the Gamo Swarm ever came out. A collector thing.

The Edgun Leshiy's, especially the II's, are on my dream list, but out of my budget, as are the Impacts.
I was looking more at Dreamline price levels. The Avenge-X might also be a caliber swapable option.

Avenge x yes

I\d posit the FX Dreamline as beeing a valid choice.
Otherwise, i'm in agreement the Leshiy Classic is untouchable. Calibers available: .177, .20, .22, .25, .30, .35 - you have to search far and wide for the .30, .35, and .20, but they're worth it. I have .177, .22, and .25, and I logged regulator settings (turns) and velocities with specific pellets. I've shot .177 Ultra Shocks, .22 Polymags, and .25 Hades in the same session and got desire results (with understanding I consider the Leshiy Classic good to about 80 yards in my hands).
