    Both are very good guns but make sure you handle them as I bought a Wildcat and sold it a week later as I just couldn't get on with the bullpup concept. I just couldn't get a decent cheek weld no matter where I mounted the scope including trying an MTC Connect.

    Steer clear of it, get a Quality Springer instead. I personally have not had one, and from what I have heard would not go near one. I also heard that a very respected shop have stopped selling them due to there reliability and bad customer service. One fella I know who works in another shop has always said they are trouble.
    Like every thing you will get people that say theirs is the best gun they have ever had, and love them, and others will say never again.
    Shooting Air Rifles is like being a pubic hair on a toilet seat.
    Eventually someone comes a long and P's you off.
    They usually have a PCP

    FX seems only to rule in the USA only with customers who never seen better. YouTube is full of their agressive marketing videos and their marketing forum is censored and closely monitored. I would Avoid really, they are overpriced for what they are and will become a headache soon after. You have been warned.

    You must have an agenda pal, in another thread you slagged FX off and when I asked for some solid evidence why people shouldn’t buy an FX rifle the silence was deafening.
    You have done the exact thing again.
    Would you care to tell us your experience with these rifles? Which types have you owned, caliber, model etc.

    LOL! buy a quality springer instead I had to laugh at that one sorry!

    Whilst FX may not be everyones cup of tea I personally have no idea why someone would want to own a spring gun, but each to their own.

    I have FX rifles but have not owned the particular models you mention, it's like anything you get good and bad ones and you like them or you dont!

    Really? You're the first person I've seen criticising the reliability of FX Wildcats. Sure some like them and some don't but I thought they were pretty much universally respected as being high quality and reliable rifles? Up to now the worst criticism I've read is that the mags are only 8 shot.


    Any Wildcat owners out there to comment please as I'm thinking of getting one over the Galahad?
