The Airgun Show - Feral pigeons in the farmyard, PLUS the new FX Maverick…

Спорт

Feral pigeons can cause major problems around farm buildings, where their droppings can contaminate foodstuffs and also pose a disease risk to livestock and workers. Andy Watkins is in action bringing the winged rats to book this week, and makes a decent tally over two visits.
In the second part of this week’s show, Mat Manning takes a look at the brand new Maverick from FX Airguns. This innovative PCP bullpup features a twin regulator system, which promises remarkable shot to shot consistency. Tune in to see what Mat makes of the latest offering from the Swedish airgun supremos.

    Back in the early 80s as a young teenager, a airsporter rifle was good enough, would hit most targets no worries, with 4x32 scope, 500 tin of pellets would only last the weekend, happy days 😀

    Good shooting Andy. I’ve got the Walter Reign and been very pleased with it. I’ve got a Wildcat in FAC and a Dreamline Tac but they’re no more fun to shoot. There’s something very straightforward and functional about the Reign and I’m losing interest in paying ever more money for the tiniest of insignificant modifications. Its called it the law of diminishing returns. I think we forget we’re shooting ( in the main ) sub 12ftlb air guns at 30/40 yards not military snipers taking out bad guys at a 1/2 mile. The Maverick has 2 regulators but that group was no better than what can be achieved with the Reign and 2 regulators = twice as likely to go wrong and it costs twice as much. I’ll stop preaching because I’m totally taken in by all the innovations and I’m too easily parted from my money with all the hype that surrounds new guns but the Walther is definitely underrated £ for £.

    Things seem very overhyped , probably got to be to justify there high price , 2 regulators, two small metal cylinders turned down on a c n c machine , probably 50 p to make , and a few metal tubes and some plastic , oh and a small carbon fibre bottle , guess the guy at fx can get himself another Ferrari , when a few of these have been sold ,, 1400 quid , not outta my pocket that’s for sure , I’ve come across people at the gun club with 1000 pound guns and guess what , they can’t hit anything more than I can with my Kral and hw97 , and think you should have put that target out to at least 60 mtrs , Matt, my cp2 could have done impressive shots at that range cheers shane uk 🇬🇧
