Got my new FX Wildcat yesterday in 22 it is awesome.hopefully going to find time to scope it in tomorrow, then rabbits and rats look out, got the gun from Cheshire Gun Room Stockport the service we received was brilliant they could not do enough, we walked in morning lads would you like a cup of tea, we then got down to business and the sale went sweet, couple of freebies and we were back on our way home highly delighted.

AA S410 .177k Ben taylored HW100KT .177 HW100KT .20. FX Wildcat .22
Spoke to Simon on Thursday (I think) one phone call about them at that point & that was it was low powered, he sorted it out over the phone - looking good Still saving for mine
Put nearly a tin full of pellets through mine so far and no complaints!
Power was a bit low , but that was soon sorted!
Very happy with mine. I've put about 4-500 through it.
Very accurate indeed.
A bit squirrelly offhand, but I'm getting used to it, needs a different hold perhaps, maybe weight beyond the muzzle.
Mag cycles well, I put a smear of tippex on the outer diameter so I can track when my last shot is coming up.
Need to get extra mag and a barrel clamp and maybe extra baffle - not for quietness, it is super quiet, but as a means of putting extra weight as above.
Likes JSB exacts, but I've got a dozen samples from PelletPerfect to put through it next week.
Suits MTC Connect scope on low mounts very well.
Mine has also dropped power from 11.5 to 10 as it has settled in.
I'd also be glad to know how I can dial it back up, though I know the topic is verboten here, so I won't ask (hint hint, I like getting PMs).
Meanwhile, I'm enjoying the extra shots (well over 300 per fill) and extra quietness that comes with low power.
My knackered L shoulder has thanked me for buying a lighter gun and even in comparison to my HW100TK, this is much easier.
Though it is not quite as light as the spec says. My scales say 2.9kg (yes, I allowed for weight of air in cylinder).
The cocking position is perfect (fnarr-fnarr).
The mag has cycled faultlessly so far.
Of the limited .22 pellets I have at the mo it likes Air Arms DF the best, was ok with Superdomes and hates Logan Penetrators!
Initially put a Hawke Panorama on it but swapped to a Viper Connect which seems to suit the gun much better.
I did however manage to shoot my finger !
After the scope swap I settled down at my bench to put a few mags worth through it and being so short ,my finger was in front of the muzzle and not the air cylinder!
Lesson learnt there!
Ceep it coming folks. Pics would be nice. Gun and grouping. Distances. ??
