Marvin I hope it all works out good for you thats alot of money to get a bad product.

The velocity wasn't consistent so it may have been the regulator . To be accurate the velocity needs to be consistent. I feel sure they will make it right.

In a earlier post I said 789 at 170 bar. That was suppose to be 889fps.

Scalf · « **Reply #23 on:** September 17, 2016, 05:14:08 PM »

If it had stayed 889 that was fine but when I filled to 200 bar velocity was about 100 FPS slower. From 150 to 200 bar should be about 890 to 900 FPS according to AOA and people on the Internet. Someone that is real familiar with PCP guns probably kows what was wrong.

I talked with AOA Sat. and it appeared that they could do something quickly. I am leaving Friday for the winter. I can go Saturday if I have to if they can have me a gun by Friday. That will give me one day to get it scoped in. I have places to squirrel hunt this winter but don't have a bench to shoot from and I don't want to ask landowners if I can target practice. I am lucky to have a couple of places to hunt. Don't want to wear my welcome out. I need to have gun ready before I leave.

AOA are taking care of the problem. Should have new gun soon. So far they have been very agreeable and very nice.

People on the Internet are claiming 890 to 925 FPS for 18 grain pellet. One half inch groups at 50 yds. That I would be happy with.

I just received my replacement FX 400 .22. The first had finish issues with laser splatter on the receiver, a tiny screw that fell out of the gun from the inside and a leak that could not be found with soap bubbles as it was internal. The great news is that Jim and Nancy from Precision Airguns took care of the issue with AOA and I received a brand new rifle in a week. Its not that you have problems its how they are solved.

To your point - my first gun (both regulated) shot 902 with the 18.13 JSB, my replacement gun shoots 880 with the 18.13 JSB. Another gun that we tested at Jim's shop shot 862 with the 18.13 JSB. Jim said that 880's give or take is really where you want to be. This guy has a good review on the 400 and look at his chrono reading, they too are in the 880 range. His shot string shows higher but I question that - the actual readings in the video I believe are representative of what you should expect.

My replacement rifle is perfect by the way and exactly what I had hoped for. Hope you can get your issue worked out to your satisfaction.

They were out of 400 so I got a 500 on the way. Should get it wed. How did Pecision Aiguns help?

I bought the gun from them, they buy wholesale from AOA. So they had to talk with AOA to determine how my case was handled. Interesting the first gun had a serial number in the 43K range. The replacement was in the 47k range so clearly much newer. Even the finish looks different so I am very happy how it turned out. The first gun really had issues but the second is perfect. So all in all I am very satisfied and it shoots way better than it looks, which is really good too. I was able to get the laminated stock and that is utter perfection.

The 500 I am getting has an upgraded stock but that is all I know. I don't even know what it looks like. I hope it shoots good and the velocity is at least 860 with 25 grain pellet. Does precision airguns do things like adjust regulators and tune PCP airguns.

Jking · « **Reply #31 on:** September 20, 2016, 06:12:23 PM »

I think you'll enjoy the 25cal. I've mine for a year and half or so. It was unregulated but I had AOA regulate it. I just got a 400 a couple of weeks ago and I'm having a couple of issues also. If I can't figure it out it's probably heading back to Arizona as well. Sounds like FX is having a quality control issue with the 400's as of late. It's a shame when you spend that kind of money.

Is that laminated stock still light, and did it come with the larger carbon fiber bottle?

Yes it is. I had the opportunity to shoot the black, walnut and laminated and there wasn't any noticeable difference in weight. It may show on paper but not at all in hand. Mine came with the 480 cc carbon bottle and regulated. Couldn't be happier now that I have my replacement.

I've had trouble with the breech O-rings leaking and the groups not being as good as they should be. It might put two pellets in the same hole and then the next one might be 3/4" left, right or high. Aggravating to say the least.

I blew the breach seal out on the one i had about the 50th shot. I had the bolt closed I am pretty sure. Put it back in and it blowed out on the first shot. It was broken into. Put another one in but it didn't sound right. Groups not that good. My Mrod 22 shot better. Velocity was 797 or so and at 170 bar velocity was 888. Something was wrong with it but I am sure they will fix it. Got my replacement this evening. Got a FX 500. About 880 to 9
890 FPS. Plenty fast to suit me. Shot 4 groups of 5 shots each at 35 yds with 2 or 3 MPH cross wind. Smallest was .18 inch and the largest was .35 inch but the largest group was all horizontal indicating wind. I think this one is a keeper if it stays like it is.

Scalf · « **Reply #38 on:** September 21, 2016, 07:37:43 PM »

Just shot first group at 50 yds. Wind has quit blowing . 4 shots went .25 inch but one shot caused the group to open up to .4 inch. Still pretty good.

Good news on the new rifle, by the sounds of it, seems to very accurate also.
