FX Airguns

FX Airguns – PCP air rifles from Sweden

FX Airguns was founded in 1999 by Fredrik Axelsson and is based in Mariestad, Sweden. Today FX is one of the best-known names in PCP air rifles – rifles powered by compressed air from a built-in cylinder or bottle.

We carry FX rifles in 4.5 mm as well as stocks, scopes, chronographs and air cylinders. Many models we order in for you.

The Smooth Twist barrel

FX is known for the Smooth Twist barrel: a barrel that is smooth for most of its length and has rifling close to the muzzle. Smooth Twist X, introduced in 2017, made it possible to swap barrels.

The FX series we carry

• DRS and DRS MKII – FX's DRS platform in its first and second generation. Available as Tactical, Classic Synthetic, Classic Walnut and Redline, and in Compact, Standard and Sniper lengths.
• DRS with Saber Tactical stock – in bronze or grey. The stock is also available on its own.
• Impact M4 – FX's well-known bullpup rifle.
• Leopard – available with an air bottle or a tube.

Accessories for your FX rifle

We carry the FX Pocket Chrono, which measures pellet velocity in m/s, the FX Digital Manometer, FX air cylinders in carbon fibre and aluminium, and FX scopes. The Saber Tactical stocks give your DRS a completely new look.

How a PCP rifle works

PCP stands for "pre-charged pneumatic". The rifle has a cylinder or bottle that you fill with compressed air in advance. When you fire, a valve releases a portion of air behind the pellet. This lets you fire many shots on one fill, without cocking a spring between shots. You can follow the pressure in the cylinder on the gauge.

What you need

• Compressed air from a hand pump, a scuba tank or a filling station.
• Pellets in the right calibre – test your way to the ones your rifle shoots best.
• A riflescope and a mount that fit the rifle's rail.
• Ideally a target and a place where you are allowed to shoot.

Air for PCP

A PCP rifle must be filled with compressed air – from a hand pump, a scuba tank or a filling station. See PCP accessories, or use our PCP calculator when you need to work out air and filling.
