Lightweight FAC Rifle

[crowbar]

A old FX Gladiator could fit the bill with it's high air capacity .

I agree with the greenanchor, my one is 12fp but is good for 280 shots, and they are light weight and compact.

The best FAC air rifle for my money is the Edgun. Its regulator and firing valve are just SO efficient and it is a pretty compact bullpup design. Mine was a .22 running at 40 ft lb and delivering 40 shots with a 200BAR fill to a fairly compact air tube. I sold it only because as a left handed shooter, the magazines stuck in my face. The Rapid and Air Ranger are also excellent rifles at FAC power levels but are inevitably larger and heavier than the bullpup Edgun.
I agree with the post above regarding the FN19-it is reasonably light and certainly very cheap to buy. Also very reliable and easy to work on.

If weight is an issue-it usually is- I have made a lightweight Rapid which weighs in at around the 3 KG level with scope. That is about the same as a Falcon Lighthunter with skeleton stock. Mine is a regulated .20 with a short barrel, high spec firing valve and skeleton stock. With a 280cc bottle I get around 3 magazines (36 shots) regulated at nearly 900 ft sec (25 ft lb with the JSB Heavy pellets) in .20. This is a very effective, light, compact and powerful air rifle and is my go-to gun most of the time.

Hi £ 1500ish

.25 Impact money mate.
I use one for pesting around golf courses and farmland on foot. Shooting 34grain heavies at 52ftlb.
I fancied one of the Daystate bottle rifles until I shouldered one, I couldn’t see the end of the barrel it was that long

For a Lightweight rifle I would opt for a Daystate Huntsman at 30ftlb, or get a carbon bottle fitted to your Ranger, it cuts the weight, perfects the balance and will save a one for one variation on your FAC.

Hi £ 1500ish

if you are spending that sort of money. Has to be a fx impact. Nothing comes close. Just changed myself from a fac air ranger to a fac impact.

The crown is lighter and all most the same gun as a impact . Impact is a fantastic gun in .25 but like I said the crown is lighter and cant wait for mine to come

What he said.

[Spitzer]

Rapid mkI with quick fill, 30 ft/lbs around 100 consistent shots with NO regulator, tuned trigger, and a good bit lighter than a Daystate cannon.

Heavy = Steady
Are you walking around? 90% of my FAC air shooting is out of a truck or off a bi-pod.

[p.j.]

Daystate Regal, mine has the standard cylinder, good for 30 shots.

BSA Hornet (scrap the BSA reg and fit a HuMa reg) or BSA Scorpion with a HuMa reg.
