fx 500 royale or hatsun bt 65 both .25 cal ?

[carlos69]

Good day all

Here we go again. Wanted to know if the FX 500 royale ( .25) (non regulated) is able to be adjusted / tuned to Fps / velocities as the Hatsun Bt 65 (.25 cal)?

Want to venture into mid to long range shooting, and I have the option of both mentioned guns in .25 cal only. Love the power of the bt 65 (as I will be hunting large doves /foul / duck / rabbit and maybe small antelope on rare occations). Also the bt 65 is less pricy, which is not THAT important  , (although truth be told, it does sit there in he back of the mind - have conned myself that I am venturing into the PCP game so a good investemnt is justified as a single gun owner). Most of my hunting will happen with no aid of a rest or stand for the gun.

On the down side the bt65 is:
1) a very heavy gun
2) low shot count as compared to the Fx 500
3) louder

On the up side the bt 65 is:
1) good power
2) less costly (lets be hornest) than the fx 500

On the other hand with the Fx 500 up side:
1) lighter
2) quiet
3) great shot count

The down side of the FX:
1) not that powerful (as the Bt 65.... anyway)
2) pricy ( again I have justified the price another way .... the FX will give me 70 -80  shots (full power) ..SO... I dont need a scuba tank -which I will need to buy if I go for the bt65- the seller can refill the gun for me after those shots. And 70 - 80 shots are plenty..

So to cut to the chase....if the Fx could shoot at the same power as the bt65, and the price justified as mentioned, I would go get the fx. Can these Fx 500 be easly adjusted to shoot at that power

Did you ever get an answer?  I had mine tuned by Allen Z. but I had it tuned to a lower FPE due to limitations in my backyard.

What did you end up going with?

I don´t have any Fx, but i do have a BT65 in .25 and love it for it´s power, but i would buy a fx500 every day of the week, better build and better accuracy and the shotcount is better!

Thanks for the feedback Jorgen - I think the FX 500 is excellent too!

If the price isn't a problem, go with the FX
