General Comments
FX Cyclone of Sweden , you have a winner. Owners of Air Arms 410's - look out.
Black beauty with synthetic ambidextrous sporter stock ( with rubberized, no-slip pistol grip ), 19.7 inch free-floated Lothar-Walther match grade rifled barrel with custom choke, removeable 8-shot rotary magazine, adjustable two-stage trigger weighing in at 5.2lbs. Removeable air cylinder! (200 bar). With built-in pressure gauge.
Very fast action with biathlon style cocking mechanism making follow-up shots easy and accurate.
3-stage power wheel with settings at 12, 20 and 27 ft/lbs. Using Crosman Premier 7.9gr pellets over the Shooting Chrony :
Setting one - 800fps
Setting two - 950fps
Setting three - 1060fps
Now that is something, accuracy you ask, at 10 yards one hole or touching holes and at 25 yards sub-one inch groups. Very flat shooting at power level three up to 40 yards, only one inch of vertical stringing!!
I have added a silencer (the barrel is shrouded) and at settings one and two barely audible. Also fitted a 3-10X44 UltraOptec scope, what a combination.
Also invested in the FX Pump, and I must say I am very impressed of how quickly one can recharge the cylinder, even getting close to 200 bar.
Have a serious look at this one guys, you will see more and more of them very soon.
