[HuntingCoalinga]

[srspower]

nice rifle but the big FX on the side makes it look a bit crappy.

[1456stanley]

[australianbowhunter]

[Airsoftangles]

Ummm, this looks pretty much like the marauder but more expensive?

[MrJohnny333]

whats the scope?

[d0gm34t]

hello nigel allen, you talk a bit like a homo dont you now sweet heart...

[qwerty134098]

what do you fill it up with air like do you need an air compressor ?

[shield400]

Beautiful rifle but I personally don't care much for their smooth twist barrels. 

[AirgunTester]

@shield400 Interestingly, the recent Benchrest competition at the Arizona State Championships was won with one (on an FX).

[richardschneiderKS]

Would be nice if they made a model for a lefty!.. Vision is terrible in the right eye or I would switch...........

[richardschneiderKS]

Would be nice if they made a model for a lefty!..

[cobyson100]

Nigel...I found it pitiful that your Gov't has rendered you to an air rifle..you know how Gay you all look shooting that next to our American .50 cal's that we can all buy (if you're not a criminal)...how shameful you must feel.

[thev652]

This gun sucks and you are a faggot.

[october3ful]

How do you fill the air? I have a Remington Vantage and i was looking to upgrade to a pcp if you can fill it yourself. Thanks, october3ful

[dashtidashtidashti]

how to upgrade the power or velocity of mine ?

[Pageyindahouse]

is it better than a rapid mk2?

[Pageyindahouse]

have u seen the btas hft400? if so wots it like?

[gggggeoff]

learn to tell some bad points about the air rifle you review oooo thats wright your not aloud to say bad things cause your getting payed

[AirgunTester]

@gggggeoff ?????????Thanks for the tip, ggggggeoff. bbbbbbut I didn't do this video for payment!!!!!!

[MultiSniper70]

@AirgunTester

do you know a place where i can get a 30lb pcp rifle like that because i

found one but i cant find the website for it

[AirgunTester]

@MultiSniper70 I don't know what country you're from, but FX Airguns does have a website which should point you in the right direction

[deeds1957]

looks like a superten.

[Xxoo0o0o0ooxX]

That is one cool gun!!!!

[MegaAbfuck]

could you please tell me what's the scope you're using ?!

[Pageyindahouse]

can you get the semi auto monsoon in the uk?

[sheyon1000]

@Pageyindahouse no u cant get it cause uks laws are stupid.

[Pageyindahouse]

hi, what scope is on that? what do you truly believe is the best pcp on the market??

[raguspag55]

How accurate are these PCP rifles as opposed to break barrel?

My Crossman Phantom 1000 is very accurate with a 10.5 grain .177

pellet, once Ive calibrated it with a good Leaper scope, something like a

Leaper 6-24x50. I regularly pop a1 inch target at 35 yards with it.

I get poor results with alloy pellets or anything smaller than 7 grain pellets.

[FXPIEPER]

Anyone who wants to see the FX Royale in action, shooting targets check out

[bobo01bjcroatia]

Thanks

[animator995]

what do air rifles shoot and how do the work??

are they the same as airsoft guns?

[MrFREDANG]

wat is the maker??

[silvertondevil12]

My name is Nigel Ryan (:

[aaronrushton1]

nigel, what was the accuracy of this airgun like? and what sort of price would you be looking at? also, do most fx gunbs have this sysytem of a butt pad which will slide with you or only the royal? i really like that idea as more than often i have missed a pigeon which i could have had with a better angle, thanks,

Aaron.

[AirgunTester]

Mine was the prototype, but it was very accurate. You could hunt to extreme ranges with it; I had a knock-down target over at 50m with repetitive regularity. I like sliding butt pads and wish I had one on my AirWolf. It's on all the current FX line-up. An adjustable but is also handy when you're shooting prone, too. Nige

[chrisxyz15]

thanks. i may be getting an fx airgun soon :)

[QRichTee]

what do people make of the .20? i thinking that or .22 on a rapid mk2 sub 12. does anywon know if there anygood for hunting cos .22 is great for sub 35 yards but .20 sounds like it would kill at 45yds. advice?

[AirgunTester]

Not used .20 that much. Personally, I find that if you DO manage to establish a good pellet in the bore, it's so near to a .22 that you ma as well go for a .22! (That said, I'm still a .177 fan beyond 30 yards!)

[QRichTee]

well i had a quick go with a friend and it seemed quite good, would be great at FAC but at 12 ft/lbs like you said theres no point. 30 yards? i find my .22 with be good out til at least 40. but i never shoot past that so i wouldn't know :-/

[Pageyindahouse]

@AirgunTester you should do a review on your airwolf

[katanaswordmaster]

very good review,but i dont like the rifle its ugly(me opinion).

[AirgunTester]

Looks are a matter of taste. Handles very nicely, though. I prefer the walnut to the synthetic - even at +£150!!!!

[GERGIANOS]

very very good video!!! 5*

[AirgunTester]

Thank you!

[feeble2009]

any idea how much the rifle will cost?

[AirgunTester]

It's £900GBP for the wood-stocked model and £750GBP for the synthetic one. (UK pricing from distributors, Deben.) HTH

[Pageyindahouse]

@AirgunTester what would you say was the best hunting pcp??

[AirgunTester]

@Pageyindahouse . Depends whatever suits you, really. If you're ratting, then you want a compact one. If you're after long-range stuff, you need one that'll take a bi-pod. Or if you walk lots, something light weight. I use a Daystate Air Wolf (heavy, but long-range accuracy) in .177 and a Theoben Elan in .22 (light and good for short range stopping power).

[Pageyindahouse]

yep i like daystate, but not the electronic ones. im either gettin a hw100s or a huntsman classic

[AirgunTester]

They're quite different rifles, Pagey! The Huntsman Classic is a very 'traditional', stylish rifle. Feels very sporter-like.Lightweight and great to handle in the field. The HW100 is a much heavier, more solid rifle. I prefer the T to the S... in looks and feel, but a couple of my mates disagree. I've got the new HW100K-T FSB (Fully Shrouded Barrel) at the moment. New-style thumbhole stock on it. VERY nice it is, too.

[Pageyindahouse]

u should do a review on it!! i got the hw80k yesterday from blackpool air rifles

[raymondo152]

nice video

[AirgunTester]

Thanks!

[raymondo152]

good job m8

[redgaridose]

nice

[ARCEYE78]

great video and very proffesional, and for a PCP its not a bad looking rifle, if your forthcoming live hunting vids are anything like this then they will be spot on and great watching...i look forward to em, 5*s:)

[sheyon1000]

how much does ftlbs this airgun has at the muzzle 36 or 38 i saw both ,not its that important because there aint that much, but i wish to know thanks.

[AirgunTester]

Typically it's around 38 ft/lbs maximum (on the high-power version), though it could vary +/- 2 ft/lbs according to pellet type. You get 60 shots/charge at that - and high power is only in .22 calibre. HTH

[lescooke82]

good vid! are you going to make more?

[AirgunTester]

Yep. Just got some (proper) new gear and doing a video-editing course... so please subscribe and watch this space. Hopefully they'll get better and better. Forthcoming content is likely to be mainly gun test/review (maybe the odd sneak previews) , with some how-to stuff. Takes ages to do... but I'm sure I'll get quicker the more I do it! Your feedback's appreciated. Cheers!

[krysks04]

Someone pay you for this?

Very good job,I like videos like yours!

5!

[AirgunTester]

No - this one done off my own back. You're welcome to send a donation, though!!! ;) I'll be doing more in the coming weeks/months/years - so stay tuned in. Glad you like it - hopefully you'll like future episodes!

[krysks04]

I'm sure -I'll love it.I just subscribe you and I will wait for another video.

Greetings!

[sheyon1000]

the only thing i would change on this airgun is a bull barrel to make it even nicer nothing more!

[AirgunTester]

Yeah, never really thought about that. You're right, though, it would look the business!

[TheShamtube]

great looking bit of kit..

[HighlandAirGun]

Sold! that'll do nicely in f.a.c

[AirgunTester]

Yeah, my mate's (above) is also buying one! I'm not a fan of FACs, but if it's half as good as it is in sub-12, you won't be disappointed. I'm hoping to get the full production model in .177 - THAT will be an awesome long-ranger.

[HighlandAirGun]

Sub 12ftlb'ers and f.a.c's all have there place in the field, and if there's a job to do and gale force winds id be wasting my time taking out the 12ftlb'ers.

[AirgunTester]

True. I tend to stay indoors on the very windy days - and do stuff in the workshop!

[AirgunHunterUK]

Great video, keep 'em coming! 5/5

[Jordenkl]

it is great video mate !

[AirgunTester]

Thanks, mate.

[AirgunTester]

Thanks, mate. I WILL keep 'em coming.

[jpcully47]

Roll on december issue.

[sheyon1000]

superb airgun i will but this one for sure,the sintetic model is nicer for me:P

[AirgunTester]

And £149 cheaper! Walnut version's lovely, mind you. I'd spend the extra on it - but I'm a fan of exotic walnut.

[MrUppercrust]

Excellent video. Very informative and professional. Will definitely look out for this one. Any more to come?

[AirgunTester]

Yep - I suggest you 'subscribe' and YouTube will automatically notify you when they go live. There's a new one on my FX Verminator rat shoot.

[TONYRB1971]

Ah mate that looks soooo much better on here. And honestly the royal really does look like its will be my vermy replacement.

Its precisely what Im looking for Rapid style bottle at the front and the quick sidelever. Its a pity its not the one like the vermy but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Spot on, love it, and good work sir

[AirgunTester]

I've got it for a week or so more - so pop round and have a look. I think it's exactly what you're after.

[jammy3boy25here]

Great video, i want this gun now. Cannot wait to read in Air Gunner. How long untill the next Video?

[AirgunTester]

New video now on. It's about my rat shoot with the FX Verminator. Why not subscribe to my videos? Then YouTube will notify you automatically each time I put a new video on.
