Shooting .3 inch groups after dark and no wind seems to the normal for this gun. I am tickled to death with it. Haven't shot it on medium or low power yet. Almost afraid to move the power knob.

I'm really happy to hear it turned out well for you!

I have had my FX Royale 400 in .22 for about three years. Consistently 862-867 fps between 210 and 160 BAR with Air Arms Diabolo Heavy 18gr. It makes jagged single holes, but due to space restrictions, my longest shots are between 30-40 yards. I have never shot anything that I can say is as accurate and such a joy to shoot!

+1 on enjoyment of shooting, everything is exceptionally smooth. I ordered the single shot tray and it too works very well.

I've been hemming and hawing over this gun for months now. How would you rate the quietness, high power, with factory moderator? Backyard friendly? I've got a Marauder that does everything I need it to do, except it's kind of an ugly duckling, and clunky. But I love the quietness of it. Any comparison?

Scalf · « **Reply #45 on:** September 22, 2016, 06:47:59 PM »

It is very quite. Much quieter than my 22 Marauder. You hear the pellets hitting more than the gun. Seems like it is going to be very accurate. I am new to airguns and the affect the wind has on pellets really shocked me. 2 MPH cross wind at 50 yds really moves the pellet

After 250 pellets down the barrel the size of the group doubled in size. Cleaned barrel but didn't help. It shot great at first. What is going on with FX guns. Other people are having accuracy problems also. The test group that came with gun was slightly larger than the pellet itself. 50 yard 5 shot groups were all .26 inch to .4 inch the first night that i shot the gun. Now it shoots .6 to 1.25 inch. Thats awfull. What is going on? I would buy another one from AOA but after 2 bad ones maybe i should try one from some place else.

Hope you let us know how it goes! I love my FX Wildcat in .22. Ridiculously accurate and powerful. Shoots 18.13's at about 875.

Scalf · « **Reply #48 on:** September 23, 2016, 09:01:11 PM »

How good is good. 50yd groups what size is normal with no wind. I will keep buying till i get a good one that will shoot less than half inch at 50 yds.

Scalf · « **Reply #49 on:** September 23, 2016, 09:10:59 PM »

I want a gun that is close to the size of the FX Royale 500. I would send this one back for them to see if they could figure out what is wrong and just buy another one but i am afraid all the new ones not so good. If they get it shooting good i could sell it. Some 500 owners have posted that .3 to.5 inch groups are normal. The POI seems to change on this gun also.

Sorry to hear about your troubles hope you can get it all sorted out...
I know I'm personally hoping to go with a RAW for my next rifle they are custom built and tested thoroughly before they are sent out.

Scalf · « **Reply #51 on:** September 23, 2016, 09:45:53 PM »

Do u know anyone that has one. How about the 25 cal. Have u seen it shoot. How much are they?

farmerjoe99 · « **Reply #52 on:** September 23, 2016, 09:59:51 PM »

Off the top of my head only Motorhead comes to mind but there
are a lot of them as they have really grown in the last few years especially in bench rest and FT
cost is up to you as they have a bunch of breech, stock, barrel, LDC's and shroud options
depending on what you get but +-$2,000 is a close guess. I have been doing a ton of reading on these rifles and in my book
they are pretty much tops, I've only found one negative review and the only other gripe I've found is they are a tad heavy but,
they are very solidly built and I think that's partly why they are so reliable and accurate.
they are popular in BR(which is definitely a good sign for accuracy and trigger) and I'm seen quite a few on the FT courses.

As to shooting them I haven't shot one myself yet (though I hope to soon)
But I've seen at least half a dozen on the FT courses as well as shot along with Dottie from RAW(She is a top notch shooter!)
and she was shooting a TM1000.

AEAC on youtube has some excellent reviews on their rifles as well as a factory tour,
as they are made here in the USA.

Give Martin a call tell him what you are looking for and he can probably build it.

I hope to own one myself someday but right now I can only afford good deals on used guns...

Dairyboy · « **Reply #54 on:** September 23, 2016, 11:01:28 PM »

I'd +1 to the RAW would love to own one someday as well and more of a guaranteed

Scalf · « **Reply #55 on:** September 24, 2016, 12:08:18 AM »

Going to check on the RAW. When u have spent as much as i have on Fx and Marauder whats another 2 grand.

Dairyboy · « **Reply #56 on:** September 24, 2016, 12:44:59 AM »

I say get a refund on the FX to make up some money

Scalf · « **Reply #57 on:** September 24, 2016, 12:57:56 AM »

Going to do something but not sure what. Going to put a new scope on it and see what happens. If it dont shoot like it did when i first got it i will probably just send it back and let them try to find out what is wrong but i want it to shoot as good as it did when i first got it. I am hoping the scope is bad but the chance of that is slim. The scope is less than 2 months old. It is really strange that it stacked pellets for 250 shots and then groups doubled in size. Makes no sense at all. What could have possibly happened to it. I quess i am just not lucky.

Hopalong Cassidy · « **Reply #58 on:** September 24, 2016, 12:06:24 PM »

My $.02, take it with a grain of salt. Come back to 25yds. and see what happens. If you're good, extend out, and see where things start to fall apart. Change pellets. When I'm zeroing a scope, I always have someone else shoot the rifle, and see if there is any consistency. What are you using to rest the rifle on? Maybe change that. There are guys on the Yellow Forum that seem to be experts on this gun, maybe ask them, they rave about this gun. I've been thinking about buying one of these, so I'd be interested in the outcome.

AG72 · « **Reply #59 on:** September 24, 2016, 12:56:32 PM »

I read somwhere that Mr Axelson didn´t recomend cleaning the barrel on FX, if there was an accuracy problem, a dirty barrel wasn´t the cause, so try put another thin of pellets trough her and see what´s happends, and if the gun is brand new, you need to shoot a bunch of pellets to brake her in so to speak
