The Swedish manufacturer FX Airguns presents the third generation of its highly successful Wildcat model. Compared to its predecessors, this version offers even more compact dimensions and a number of further improvements. Worth mentioning are the increased air capacity in the Power Plenum and the improved air flow. All metal parts are manufactured using the most precise CNC technologies.
Wildcat MKIII BT Sniper is supplied with a 700 mm barrel. However, thanks to the bullpup design, this does not affect the very compact overall length of the rifle, which is only 890 mm. Of course, the barrel can also be changed, allowing you to choose the type that best matches your selected types and weights of ammunition. The barrel is shrouded and at its end there is a 1/2 UNF thread for mounting an additional sound moderator.
Synthetic stock is lightweight and pleasant to the touch. The ergonomically shaped pistol grip fits perfectly in the hand and shouldering is really comfortable. The sidelever has a very smooth operation and its position above the trigger guarantees easy access.
A new feature is also the adjustment wheel at the rear of the rifle, which controls the hammer spring tension. It has a total of seven pre-set positions. The eighth position allows more precise adjustment using an Allen key. This gives you the option of perfectly matching the power to the pressure regulator.
The large carbon fibre air cylinder is located under the barrel and its capacity is 580 cm3. The maximum fill pressure is 250 bar. Pressure is checked using a manometer located opposite the fill port, just behind the cylinder. Another manometer shows the current regulator pressure and can be found on the left side of the rifle, under the cheekpiece.
The magazine has also been improved. It now holds a total of 16 pellets in 6.35 mm calibre and is compatible with magazines for FX Crown and FX Dreamline. The trigger is fully adjustable and has a very light pull. A manual safety is also included as standard. For mounting a riflescope you can use the 22 mm Picatinny rail.
