I think the Vixen looks awesome, but I get a little "restless" when I look at the 3 small M4 screws. They hold on the back piece where the manometer sits and the bottle screws on. There's a whopping 300 bar pushing on those 3 "tiny" screws.
Hi ..The bipod has a ring to attach a sling but the rifle doesn't have a stud at the butt end. single point slings or ones with a loop for the butt end would probably work best
I am a month away from getting one ,I do like the short ,was there any reason you went for the long ? I was told with air rifles barrel length dont really make much difference to accuracy? ,sorry, being an ex power burner shooter length is better ? And are you still enjoying the Vixen?
HI there. I`ve been shooting air guns for I guess about 40 years now, and in my experience I would say that barrel length does have some influence. Particularly in muzzle velocity. We are not talking huge amounts here of course.. sub 12 air rifles after all. Accuracy... well different people will have a varied opinion on that subject. I personally I chose the long kind of automatically. I have always had better results from a standard length barrel. and I like to look of it if I`m honest😁 I love my Vixen. I have fitted the metal foregrip and an AG-43 pistol grip. I am waiting for a carbon fibre barrel shroud too. I think that with the Vixen, Long or short is merely a matter of personal preference. They are both extremely good looking and excellent performing rifles 👍
@yorkshireoutdoorsmen2746 also I do like the short as I can shoot from my pickup cab without worrying about length, just got to remember to open the window lol had a m8 take his window out once
I have just bought a vixen short because of my shooting in a confined space I e. In a hide. It is a brilliant rifle and the accuracy is superb . I have two other rifles, both Brococks and I love them as well but the vixen just said come and try me . Hooked 😅 👍👍
So did I...at first.. not illegal as such. That is to say there is nothing in current legislation. but frowned upon...PC gone bonkers. Mind you, I didn't see anymore of those in the racks when I went last week.
@malcolmdonnison3987 strange ,this was about 15 years ago ,might have just been the range we was using, and to be fair, it was very clicky and ran by idiots
