FX is very innovative. Looks like they came up with another nice rifle

Very impressive. Not sure the price on that baby but I bet it ain’t in my price range.

Right at $2,000. I'm tempted

Looking forward to your review. Maybe links to others, as these get into shooters hands? Caliber choice?

These look great but are still way out of my wallet range.

Right now, it looks like it's pre-order. I'm leaning towards the 30 caliber, but I won't be getting one until after September.

Can I ask why your thinking 30 caliber over 17 or 22 caliber?

Hi there! Please note the envelope icon upper right. You have a PM.

I get that this outperforms my $349 Avenger but I just don't see how it $1700 outperforms it. I think FX is doing some amazing stuff, but they keep adding another $300 to the tag every model they release.

They've figured out their market will support it (my opinion), and they are still trying to find the corners of that envelope.

Totally agree. There are many companies competing for the leisure dollar of a shooting sports person. Some will buy a $3k STI, others a decked out AR, some a high quality air rifle. Some will opt for one of each!

I have 7 airguns, but more powder burners, and seem to spend most of my "big ticket" items on firearms. I would have a hard time dropping two "G's" on an air rifle....nice stick though.

I'm just a little surprised that the electronic valve stuff hasn't made it to the airguns from the paintball world. It's like difficult to find a NON electric paint marker these days, I'm shocked that Daystate is the only one I've seen in the pellet rifle world.

Oh I like that!

Well just just got information from FX last night from the Shot Show that they are coming out with a new one that will be retailing around that 1k mark they know people don’t want to drop that 2k will keep posted with picture and details.

I think pricing is probably in the right ballpark. I just built up a .22 for my son that is NRL22 capable - Just going with a Tikka T1x base model, KRG Bravo Chassis and Arca rail that is basically the same configuration as the panther, it cost around $1200. The air rifles do cost a little more up front but your long term ammo costs are way lower. If I had known about these before I put his rifle together, i may have gone the air route instead.
