Does the Flex come in .25Cal? Any reason behind it not being regulated? I love the thought of buy an American made Airgun, but going non-regulated seems like a step backwards, even with the up to date look and feel of the gun.

You can order it regulated and in any bore you want up to .308

Travis, Do you have a shot string of one in .308?

Nice groups Manny. Thanks for posting the video. The Flex must have a very nice trigger.

I am going to hold out to see what the .308 can do. I would really like to see the Flex in 357/9mm or bigger caliber for deer hunting.

I'm in the same boat as you on the .308, but I think Travis said the .357 is simply too heavy of a round for the power. I like it because of the adjustable stock so my son can shoot it.

The FLEX was in the woods today

But, for the rest of the story you'll have to go to the Hunting gate

LDP · « **Reply #169 on:** January 07, 2016, 01:27:31 AM »

Manny I got all excited and jumped on the hunting gate and I dont see anything in there

Well done and nice pellet placement!

Alright than, the FLEX is flying back to California so I might as well take a moment to give some final thoughts about this gun.

I had this gun for a month and a half, I shot 6 tins of pellets out of it ( 900 rounds )

I never touched anything in the gun, I never even bothered to clean the barrel.

I didn't baby the gun at all ( Travis will see that when he gets it back, sorry Travis

) I want to see how guns stand up under rough conditions, this gun got banged on trees, Jeep bed, doors and so on, spent a lot of time under the rain, I wasn't easy on her.

Never experienced any kind of malfunction, if something went wrong was all operator fault.

The gun staked pellets from day one to the last day.

The FLEX is obviously a no nonsense well build with a lot of thought behind, it might not have those fancy feature that make the marketing Flash, but all the important things are top notch,

Trigger is Phenomenal, very quiet, accuracy is top, air consumption is excellent so the valve is a solid design, barrel is tensioned, bolt action is simple and solid.

The platform itself again rock solid, capability of easy interchangeable barrels and easy tuning can take the gun down to 50 FPE and up to around 200 shooting cast .308 bullets.

The AR furniture make the Flex very ergonomic and the overall gun as great balance.

Lookwise I personally would prefer a tube gun but I know a lot of people out there thing differently.

Thanks Travis and Jim for giving me an opportunity to field test this new and I believe excellent product.

I think I covered just about everything from page one to now, but if you have any questions I'll try my best to answer them.

Manny you covered it all an gave it the test that this gun needed.
It is built like a tank.
Design of the power plant and the interchangeable dresses is nice. Plus now the 308 option and a reg. Retractable probe design works vs other designs that do work but are not the same.
Copied the retractor on marauder and it did make a difference.JMO.

Hate as all to see you part the pcp and that gun.
Many thanks for all your honest help with me in our PM's and all your posts. History you made and premonted PORK!LOL🙈🙉🙊 The cow🐂 thanks you !!💀

Well if this was your last PCP post it has been a pleasure living with you on your hunts in the tropical jungles . I for one will miss your posts about the different rifles you have used over the last couple of years. The springer world will benifit if you should start posting about the adventures in small pest hunting now

jakethesnake1023 · « **Reply #174 on:** January 08, 2016, 10:24:17 PM »

im drooling , had to look the gun up on the wickedairrifles website. i love it. would love to see what kind of groups it puts down

LDP · « **Reply #175 on:** January 08, 2016, 10:27:59 PM »

Manny good review and the fact it ended in a successful hunt puts the icing on the cake

I wouldnt think twice about buying this pcp if I was in the market for a heavy hitter. It looks the part and you cant ignore its performance so great job guys on building something that works as it should or better.

Yes Leland, this platform will make many happy people

scottyhazzard · « **Reply #177 on:** January 09, 2016, 04:46:52 PM »

Manny, thanks for all of the write up and photos of the Flex. The closest competitor to this gun that I see is the Impact. I find it curious that the Impact has drawn such attention from the market when it does not measure up to the Flex. I wonder if the Impact would have been able to endure such a real world evaluation?
I have saved and set aside my money to order the Flex but I am holding out for the next rifle planned from WAR that will be more compact. If WAR isn't able to make that gun then I'll get the Flex. This rifle in my eyes is just the pinnacle of air rifles to date. Truly a FLEXible platform that performs.

Nomadic Pirate · « **Reply #178 on:** January 09, 2016, 06:00:48 PM »

Man, with all the problems arising with the Impact I think I would have been very tentative to take it hunting,....need a gun you can rely on when in the field

KnifeMaker · « **Reply #179 on:** September 26, 2016, 03:58:58 AM »

I was very-very late to the party Manny, But I sure enjoyed the read!!!

Now to figure out how to get one of these bad boy's!
