Swedish manufacturer FX Airguns introduces the third generation of its highly successful Wildcat model. Compared to its predecessors, this version offers even more compact dimensions and a whole range of further improvements. Worth mentioning is 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 Sniper is supplied with a 700 mm long barrel. However, thanks to the bullpup design, it does not affect the very compact overall length of the rifle, which is only 890 mm. Of course, the barrel can also be exchanged, allowing you to choose the type that will best match 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 light and pleasant to the touch. The ergonomically shaped pistol grip fits perfectly in the hand and the shouldering is really comfortable. The sidelever has a very smooth action and its position above the trigger ensures 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 preset positions. The eighth position allows for finer adjustment using an Allen key. This gives you the option to perfectly match the power output to the pressure regulator.
The aluminium air cylinder is located under the barrel and has a capacity of 300 cm3. The maximum filling pressure is 230 bar. A manometer located opposite the filling port, just behind the cylinder, is used to check the pressure. 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 .25 calibre (6.35 mm) and is compatible with magazines for FX Crown and FX Dreamline. The trigger is fully adjustable and has a very smooth action. A manual safety is also included as standard. To mount a riflescope, you can use the 22 mm Picatinny rail.
