What makes FX different

FX designs nearly everything in house, including its barrels. The Smooth Twist barrel and later the interchangeable STX liners let shooters change calibre or barrel type more easily than on most rifles. Many FX rifles also have a power wheel or adjuster so you can tune them for different pellets. In the UK, any rifle must shoot under 12 ft-lb to be held without a firearm certificate, so the adjustment is mainly used to get the best accuracy under the limit.

The models worth knowing

FX Impact

The Impact is a compact, modular bullpup-style PCP and one of the most popular high-end rifles of recent years. Versions include the original Impact, the Impact X and the Impact M3. They are very adjustable and very accurate, but there is a lot to learn about setting them up.

FX Crown

The Crown is a traditional-style PCP with a sidelever and a choice of stocks. It is accurate, quiet and well regarded for hunting. The Crown MKII added further improvements.

FX Wildcat

The Wildcat is a short, light bullpup that is easy to carry and popular for hunting. It shares many parts with other FX rifles.

FX Dreamline

The Dreamline is a modular rifle that can be built as a bullpup or a traditional rifle with different stocks and cylinders.

FX Maverick and Panthera

The Maverick is a newer modular rifle aimed at hunting, and the Panthera is a premium rifle built for accuracy and long-range shooting.

Older FX rifles: Cyclone, Typhoon, Royale, Verminator, Boss and Independence

Older FX rifles turn up regularly and can be excellent value. The Independence is notable for having a built-in pump, so you can top up air in the field. The Royale and Cyclone were popular hunting rifles in their day.

What to check on a used FX rifle

  • Settings: ask exactly how the rifle is set up, including the power wheel, hammer spring and regulator settings. A rifle that has been badly adjusted can shoot poorly until it is set up again.
  • Power: because FX rifles are so adjustable, confirm the rifle shoots under 12 ft-lb, and check how easily it can be adjusted above it. A rifle that can be readily adjusted over the limit may be treated as a Section 1 firearm.
  • Barrel or liner: ask which barrel or STX liner is fitted, and whether spare liners are included.
  • Leaks: fill the rifle and leave it overnight.
  • Regulator: check shot-to-shot consistency. Ask when it was last serviced.
  • Accessories: check magazines, fill probe and any moderator are included.

Common questions

Is a used FX Impact a good buy?

Yes, if it has been looked after. It is a superb rifle, but it is complex, so buy one with a clear history and ask for its settings.

Are FX parts easy to get in the UK?

FX has UK dealers and service centres, and many parts are shared between models.

Do I need a licence for an FX rifle?

Not in England and Wales for a rifle under 12 ft-lb if you are 18 or over. See our guide to air rifle law in the UK.
