villaman 9,979 Posted January 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Just nipping back to FAC air for a moment, I was in Pickering Guns today where the owner, Rob, is a keen FX user. I spoke to him about the Royal and although he doesn't stock them, he said the feedback he has had regarding them was very good. Now I doubt for one minute this would float your boat Mitch but I was looking at an FX Impact FAC that he had just taken delivery on today. I don't really like the look of them but the adjustment available to the owner makes this a very versatile piece of kit but sadly my pension will not run to one without selling a few more guns. The thought of switching calibre and power (30__12ft/lb) must make this gun the most flexible gun on the market today but at £1600 not something I could just buy to see if I like it. Phil Yep Phil ,had a look at these and the FX seems to be a better FAC gun than sub12 version , but for the price you pay you could buy a few .22lr for that price Quote Link to post
mark williams 7,549 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 To repeat a conversation of some 3 yrs ago, the gun smith said that he considered the Air Arms S 410 in F.A.C. and .22 cal one of the sweetest, most accurate fac air there is. Don`t quote me on it but I think he mentioned 30 ft/lbs for this rifle. Field Craft and accuracy trumps "power" with air weapons " Only saying like" atb Mark Quote Link to post

moxy 617 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 All this turning up and down of power like it's a radio dial. Can someone please let me know how you get along with consistently? And could someone also explain why a gun would perform better at FAC than sub 12? Quote Link to post
mark williams 7,549 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Ah, that`s different Mitch, you need extra range on open ground ? FAC air wont give you that much more range in reality. Charlie, or Moxy/ others are the lads to help out now with the powder burners. atb Mark Quote Link to post

I thaught same too set it up and leave it I think. If you want less power use a different gun. Quote Link to post

Mark you right with accuracy mark but you still need to be accurate with fac air.. and 100 yard shots are more than doable! atb si Edited January 6, 2017 by si brown Quote Link to post
