30fpe multipump air rifle

[alex77147]

I have heard that there are multipump rifles with 30fpe, anyone heard of a rifle like this?

[Pete]

the only 2 I can think off that could
fall in to that cat is the
FX Independence
Webley Venom
hope yer got very deep pockets.

I may be wrong, but I think the Webley is dead in the water.  Not sure if any of them made it to market.

Sad, I was really looking forward to getting one of those.

I don't know anything about the FX, but I'm going to look

**edit -- just found a piece on the FX at AA.  Holy...  Not wild about the stock, but everything else is just what I'm looking for!

The Mac-1 Benjamin steroid 392 Multi-pump...That gets close enough to 30 fpe.

I don't have one...but I hear it gets 25-27 fpe, which is very good!

My buddy got his .20 Sheridan "steroided" last summer and only gets around 750fps with a 14.3g pellet.  Not near the claimed velocity.

My steroid 392 has a max FPE of 26.8.

Perry I knew I was right I just didn't feel like debating with him, because I went and did research. Thanx for the confirmation, I read Tim said for max power to use 28 g. Eun jins with it.

That is great power for a pumper, or for an Airgun period

Might want to read up on Steroids at Mac-1.  I think the older Sheridans might not make as much power as the current versions.  Also it's not recommended to shoot them continuously maxed out.  Shortens the life.  Guess it's a case of use it when you need it.  Believe me, a Sheridan in .20 or .22 can do a LOT with six or eight pumps, more so if a Steroid.

[alex77147]

how much did you pay?

I read Tim said for max power to use 28 g. Eun jins with it.

Yep, he told me the same thing and it shot the Eun Jin 28.4 grain 653 FPS.

FX Independence

yup yup my dream gun.... technicaly a PCP with a pump built in.... once topped up it takes about 3 pump per shot to top the tank back off.... .22 cal 30 FPE gun... they say you can get 7 shots before velocity starts to drop.... also has that sweet new smooth twist barrel ...... I know there are fancier guns out there and guns that are more powerfull but if I had my choice of one gun to get that would be the one I would choose.... of course for 1700 bucks I dont think I will be able to get one any time soon LOL

[alex77147]

have you guys seen the quigley rifle?

[cole5169]

I have a Mac-1 Steroid 392, and it's a monster  
I don't have a hard figure at hand for FPE, though, sorry.

I like the idea of the FX, though; I'd much rather pump three times than 10-12!

[lillysdad621]

i saw an article on the quigleys... awesome, but one offs...

[airgunandy]

Nice thing about a pumper is if you don't really need full power you don't have to pump it all the way up. Five pumps will get mid 500's to just under 600fps and that's plenty for paper and plinking.
