Can't believe the result, all that money for that amount of power and accuracy!
Great job again Phil very informative. Looking forward to the next vid. Quality content 👍
@Dave_18126 cheers mate, been struggling to get it in for the past few weeks with such bad weather, hopefully the gales hold off enough so I can get back to at least 1 video a week.
Great video! I really enjoyed it. For any end-of-the-world scenarios, I highly recommend learning how to shoot a springer cause that Vixen isn't going to help much if the power is out lol.
@PaulBeCareful hahaha thanks mate, I should've said "as long as you know how to knock up a 'power generating device' or use a hand pump,"......
Hahaha
Thanks for watching, please subscribe and take a look at the rest of our videos!
Cracking video again,had me worried for a second thinking you might have put it above the vixen 😅
@@shaunoshea9979 hahaha it was close, but there's too many negatives to the fx
I started my FX collection with the.177,crown mk2,synthetic version,and also the drs,in .22,synthetic version,and both have been awesome from the day I bought them,I also own a hw110,in .22, but it’s never been used since I got the drs,the king will be my next addition and great video buddy
Nice collection mate, thanks for the comment.
Please remember to subscribe if you havnt done already!!!
Hi Phil, nice looking rifle, great review again, so much choice in air guns ,and price,now if i could only win the lottery 😂😂 and get them all😂😂😂,looking forward to the next review 😊😊😊
@PSpringett hello mate!
Yeah, it is isn't it!....... and that's the issue, bloody money, even If I was loaded, I wouldn't buy most of them.... haha
The GRS stock is very nice and great adjustability too. I just think that for the price that FX put on their guns, they shouldn't come with the little niggles that they do, but they are of course down to personal perception.
Another good one Phil. Take care.
@@-DJ234 cheers buddy!!!
Great review as usual. Keep it up 👍
@lockie110 thanks mate!
Bahahaha! You are the quintessential whinging pom, brother! (I say this from 20,000km away of course... crickey - colonial subject...). No, but seriously. Quality review and highly entertaining delivery, mate. Chur bro! Cheers.
@MusicalInterferences hahahaha cheers dude, thanks for watching!
At some point you need to get the vixen, ghost and the FX out on the same day same conditions back to back and see what you think then
@roberttomlin3143 each gun gets used every day for at least a week before we do any filming.
The decision is based mainly on how the gun is all week, the target shooting is to attempt to show its capability.
We are going to get the top guns all in on the same day for a video, with our best shooters.
See which is best, like you say, in the same conditions.
Hi Phil,I’ve got anFX DRS and before that an FX dreamline and as you say with my fat fingers I’ve had pellets fall in upside down and it is a pain because you have to tip them all out! The dreamline was.177 but exactly the same happened!
@phillipmatthews148 it's annoying, other mags have a slot to drop 1 at a time...... far better!!
Thanks for the view mate, please remember to subscribe!!!
Great review as always Phil, was the FX DRS at 10lb. I wouldve sent it back if not over 11lb
Cheers mate.
It wasn't, but it got corrected by the owner before the test.
Since then we have heard that they are all coming in at that kind of velocity.
The good thing is, that they come fully adjustable, with instructions in the box..... so you can adjust the hammer spring and the regulator pressure easily yourself.
How about putting a sub £700 gun up against this lot? An RM8 or a Reximex or Kral?
We will be doing a series on budget guns next.
Krals won't stand a chance, because of the poor quality barrels....
Reximex are just krals finished better, with a few small bonuses (like spring guides) and the Rm8 is good, if you can keep it working for long enough.
(Just to add,.... I own a few of the guns mentioned above)
Look out for our budget guns list in the new year!!
Recently got my King FAC after 5 months wait. Why? No, not FX but the yank company GRS who make the wood stocks!! Anyway, love it so far, still testing slugs, a long process due to the low shot count of 24 in .35 cal.
@AntonyLD I'm glad they've now started making the synthetic stock, as the GRS was a bit pricey.
That's it, it's all about testing, tuning, testing and tuning....... many FX owners don't really understand that.
They're a lovely gun, I'm filming some hunting footage right now with the king!
great review again mate.
@@johngrazier6902 cheers mate!!
Hi..Phil ..Im a professional pest controller and an FX fan ..I’ve owned 8..never had a problem ..currently own an M3 .177..BUT.. I recently purchased the Dynamic take down .22 which didn’t meet my expectations !! Quite dramatic pellet drop off after a couple of mags and the reach was too long when wearing a jacket..my Brocock Ranger XR is more accurate out to 50m ( some say the cylinder is too small ..48 shots per fill..ever tried carrying more than 10 rabbits or a dozen squirrels any distance.. 🤔😆)..just ordered an M4 compact .177 so we will see how this performs ..great info again Phil more please 👍
@alanvaughan4143 hello mate, thanks for watching.
What's causing the drop off after a couple of mags? Is the fps going down or is it the point of impact?
There's always going to be the odd issue with guns made for the American market which get strangled down for us, rather than a gun that's purpose built for it.
I spend most of my time building, repairing and tuning airguns to make them run as they should.......
Most of the time the plenum size is off, the reg pressure and hammer tension is out of balance or the transfer port is wrong, causing all sorts of issues.
Thanks again for watching!
@@Airgunmarksmanofficial …not sure what the problem was ….point of impact was the primary issue but length of pull was the reason ..being under warranty I traded the Dynamic back in against the Mk4 Impact Compact .!! Being 3/4in too long with no further adjustment was a problem for me when squirrel popping as the stock kept hooking in my jacket … I still own a fully sorted ( sub 12) MK3 so I’m hoping the Compact will balance the same as most of my shooting ( squirrels) is free hand ( I don’t use bait stations) due to vandalism…will be testing any springers ??
Great video and shooting as always. If I’ve got my prices right and a Vixon is £1,300 and a FX King is £2,100, hard to see based on results where the £800 difference goes.
@milesrudge465 the vixen isn't for everyone.
It's OTT shroud and tactical minimalist style is hated by many.....
Look at the fx dynamic hunter, it's pretty much a king with a metal stock and it's about 1600quid, so I'm guessing there's a lot of money tied up in the woodwork.
Got it! Makes sense. I shot a King recently as well as a few other guns. Was the best gun of the day. Lovely bit of kit.
Yeah, you're amusing, but honestly you've made very relative vids. You've covered my own gun, ain't saying noubt, the gun I've ordered you've also covered. Now, I'm watching you, close , because you have my attention. Can you get a prophet on the table or as well the leshey.?
Point of interest , can you not put a line of bails alongside your range . Great reviews, And amusing. Be safe brother.
@BarrieCopeland-je6lh I have a Leshiy 2 on the range right now........... and I wouldn't bother with the RTI, I don't think they have managed to make a working regulator yet.
Haha yeah, I can get some bales, but as we speak I'm building a 2nd range next door, with higher banks, which is also narrower.... hopefully that'll skip the wind over the top!
Thanks a lot for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it.
Please remember to subscribe if you havnt already!
@@Airgunmarksmanofficial if you have a moment, have you ever taken a shot on a rabbit, and watched the death throws, of it die. Yeah we've all experienced that, however upon inspection I can't find an entry or exit wound. I was expecting blood in the ear, or a googly eye , nothing. POA just between the corner of its eye level with the base of it's ear temple shot .
Anyways, going to investigate further. Edgun, eh! This is an awesome gun, that is very capable of out-shooting, the shooter. Range wise it's short barrel shows the evolution of ballistics on PCP these days. I predict multiple bell rings, it is a clang however, when it comes to price. Great videos fella, sound advice is priceless.
Be safe.
My HW100 in .177 is far better than that. You compare with the vixen but the cost difference is a fair bit.
If you can get a Red Wolf in .177 or a Wolverine R, it would be good to see.
Cheers
@paulcarruthers1314 the 30m target I can believe....... I'd love to see it.
I call bullsh!t on that.
I have a weihrauch tuning company and in my 25 years of shooting a hw100, I've never shot one as accurate or consistent as a vixen or a ghost.... or even the king.
Out of all of the members at my range that shoot the hw100, none of them shoot as well, wind or no wind.
If you would like to show me please get in touch and we can organise a day for you to come down and show us how superior your vintage .177 hw100 is on out 100m range... at my expense.
It would make a brilliant video.
I love my hw100s, they are good, but that's all.
Thanks for the view, please do get in touch!!
@@Airgunmarksmanofficial please yourself
@@Airgunmarksmanofficial Nah I'm with Paul on this, my 100KT does 20p groups at 50m. I can't see why anyone would pay the money for the King based on these results.
For over £2k id expect a much more solid mag.
Bit of plastic takes the piss.
Lovely looking gun though - glad it shoots well 😍
Would be like having a fit bird and shes a shit shag 😂
@@stevepatrick3559 yep..... and those creatures are out there mate!
@ dont i know it mate…..they ought to be downrange for us 🎯
@stevepatrick3559 hahahahaha
fx are much better in fac i have an fx wildcat fac it stacks at 75 yards and my sub 12 choice is th HW100 I have tried so many air rifles over the years and finally settled on these two , love your reviews makes want to buy a bell lol
i do have steel gongs for my 243 but a bell looks more fun for the air rifles
@nigelhumphreysfsuk2833 I know exactly what you are saying, mate. It's something I repeat often.
The FX range were designed for accuracy at higher power levels, so strangling one down to meet UK sub12 is never going to result in the best performance.
But what I have noticed, is that modern guns designed for power tend to be more accurate at longer range than a 'traditional' airgun, like the hw100.
Eg, the AGT vixen will out perform the hw100 for accuracy at 75m, but sub 12 is useless for anything other than plinking at that range.
It all depends on what your use fpr the gun is.
Thanks for the comment mate, and please subscribe to the channel of you havnt done so already!
@@Airgunmarksmanofficial exactly right I use sub 12 for farmyard pests ever since my fac air rifle went through a rat and kept going until it hit a trough and put a hole in it flooding the shed lol 🙈
I am a new subscriber to your channel and I’m loving the content. Keep up the good work guys.
@@nigelhumphreysfsuk2833 haha..... brilliant!
Thanks mate!!!
Can you post the link for the forward scope ring ?
@@sarpilhmnos4738 that'll cost you £10
Like to see the difference if it was nearer the 12ft lb mark
@davidbooth60 yeah, I'm guessing the groups will be a smidge tighter, as they'll be less affected by external factors.....
In the original 1968 firearms act 10ft lbs was the max allowed in UK without fac , it was quickly changed to 12ftlbs to allow fo diesaling and the lack of knowledge in pellet weight effect in 1968 ,
Boring I know 😂
@manofkentcatapultsgunsando5069 yeah, that's it.
There's good arguments for both more power to be allowed, but also less..... looking at some of the comments I get 😉hahaha
Thanks for the comment mate.
Please don't forget to subscribe!
@@Airgunmarksmanofficial I subbed when you first started mate 👍🍻
@manofkentcatapultsgunsando5069 thanks a lot mate, I appreciate it!!!
Please do the BRK Ranger guys, pretty please.
@@billmasen3923 hahaha ill do my best mate....... just gotta see what gets offered to us when we put the feelers out next.
Thanks for watching!!!
Phil that plane didn't miss ya head by much lol. Why do u always say "safety first"? I was worried by that fx i really thought it was going to beat the vixen. Interesting next week as i have an hw 110k soft touch as well as a vixen long barrel.
Hahaha it was close!
I'm just always shutting the gate to access the range from the shed.
And telling people to keep it shut, stops people running straight out into the firing line.
@@Airgunmarksmanofficial cheers thanks for clearing that up for me. I was very surprised to hear fx usually run at the 10 ft lbs mark.
Daystate alpha wolf /Delta wolf performance any time soon?
@@Naughtyparson-lu7qx I'll happily do one if it comes up,.... but I don't know anyone who would trust them enough to waste the money on one in all honesty mate.
Oh dear so not very good then?
Interesting I've had my Alpha wolf for about 2 years now with no issues at all and when I brought it it came with a lifetime warranty.
Now I'm not sure what the big difference is in these new models so would be interested to see if any at all.
I really like the way you do things on your channel for example not everything regardless of price or name is AMAZING UNBELIEVABLE EPIC 😉
so keep up the great work please .
Final point you say you like air gun companies to push the boat out look to the future isn't what Daystate are looking to achieve in some ways? or is it genuine problems with electronic airguns for example your own experiences of them.
@Naughtyparson-lu7qx. yes, that's what daystate are doing mate 100%..... and they are the only company doing so, BUT not in the correct direction.
they really just seem to be overcomplicating things that don't really need innovation.
It's almost like they don't want to work on more effective regulators, better magazine systems, better barrels for slugs etc..... they are mainly fannying around with faulty electronics, which don't really serve much purpose.
They are a premium product but they just aren't as innovative or as reliable as many others on the market.
I never look at them seriously as a practical gun, due to their electronics, huge price tag and the general snobbery the brand tends to generate.
it just seems a waste of tech and money to shoot that thing sub 12..it's designed as an FAC slug shooter
Just no point in a review of a hw110. When you have done one on a hw100. Ones metal other is lighter metal
You are so wrong it's unbelievable.
The only part they share is the hammer spring.
Everything else is totally different.
I also run ONE-TEN WORKS, a weihrauch building, tuning and maintenance company.
The hw110 has a better regulator set up and more efficient breech block. It has a larger plenum and is built by much lighter modern materials...... all this makes them a brilliant modern gun, and I can let you in to a secret...... they perform better than their 30year old brother!😅😅
@Airgunmarksmanofficial that's your opinion not mine I went to the nec and they all said the same. No difference just a bit lighter. Same on accuracy. Same all out to 60 yards no difference hence why I said it
@johnfiore9390 😂😂 it's not an opinion, it's literally a fact.
I work on both of these guns, day in, day out.
Every single part is totally different, and they don't even work in the same way!
How is this hard for you to comprehend?
@Airgunmarksmanofficial like I said dick head. Does the same thing regardless of what part is better it still works the same. You sarcastic cunt
@Airgunmarksmanofficial dry ya eyes you stupid prick. Same gun.. won't do any difference if you have a better rubber seal on a reg lmao 🤣
Bet you don't get any difference in shootingbit to the other one. Your just a sarcastic little c**t
HW 100 and BSA R12 far better quality and finish than FX overpriced rubbish.
@nicholasrichards2402 if you are after a piece of furniture then possibly..... but if you are after a hunting tool, definitely not.
Ok so I guess you're busy. But where is the edgun leshiy review. You tested the ghost ,vixen and king. I watched them all, very good they were. But you told me the edgun was actually on the bench, as you were replying. Yet nothing , are you ok?
@BarrieCopeland-je6lh yep, had the Leshiy on the bench.
But as they only come in parts and then need building and need tuning correctly to make them half decent, I didn't see the point in doing a review, as the reviews are of how guns run from the factory.
I can tell you one thing, I'd not waste my own money on one.
@Airgunmarksmanofficial wow, I had no idea.!! But you're right, way too much arsing about.
So what you got better than the vixen? Or are we leaving it like that? I was out for a few hour tonight, the HW100KT bowled over a handful of rabbits as efficient as ever. Did you know you can't get a vixen until, January. For good reason, I guess. Just have to be patient.
Be safe, fella.
@BarrieCopeland-je6lh ahh, vixens often seem to be in short supply.
Well, at the moment, nothing seems to be better than a Vixen.
Ikk be releasing another video soon, see how that one goes.
@Airgunmarksmanofficial will keep my eyes peeled for it. Be safe fella.
