FIRST LOOK at the FX DRS Pro! | Shot Show 2024 

I saw the press release on the forums, I think I need one now.

How stupid are you if you want a gun that looks like a real gun buy a real gun simple stupid idea people will get shot as it looks like a real gun...

Poor capacity and what about the various tension around the barrel ?

The one in Brazil is also sold by Artemis M30! And having a new chassis, it looks very beautiful.👊🏻

Yes this is a SPA invention

It was done many many years before SPA did it.

Cylinder over barrel has been a thing for 250 years by now

you have to loose quite a bit to wall thickness to cope with pressure, and it seem to install with 4 screws from below, so if half of that external volume is plenum i think that's about it.

Agreed need the extra shot count!

The mdt grip on the rifle is adjustable

Yes, this is a very simple gun with few moving parts, which I like!

I suppose you could thread the fill probe hole and then screw a foster fitting in there, just not sure i would want that. Also i have no qualms with fill probes, actually 2 of my 3 rifles require that.

@@AirArmsHuntingSAbut has it a power adjuster or are we fixed

Definitely don't like fill probes

The fx impact is the best air rifle money can buy you sir are in good hands why do you think they haven’t came out with the M4 it’s because the m3 is perfect if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

Silly? This is engineering. This is innovation.

@@recklessjunkie It's reshaping an airgun to be shaped in the look of a powder burner. How is this innovating anything practical? It is innovating on looks only from what I see. Function over Form.

Fill probe really way to step backwards

@@bobmcbob4399 because it’s not been done before, well not to this extent. who’s putting the air cylinder around the barrel, and the plenum in the shape of a magazine If you want a traditional PCP, there’s a million out there. this is different it’s not for you obviously but I’m sure the bolt action guys the custom chassis precision rifle competition guys will appreciate it and I’m sure this will not be there main focus everyone seems to think oh no where’s the m4 oh no what’s gonna happen to the panthera this is just another offering from fx another option in the line up.

@@recklessjunkie Chinese made a reservoir around barrel rifle 3-4 years ago, also many years since i contacted FX and asked why they did not do reservoir around barrel seeing as they had " huge " shrouds around barrel anyway.

Yes it will be able to do this👌🏻

@@AirArmsHuntingSA Awesome! Any ETA on when they will hit dealers in the US?

I own a Panthera 700 .22 and it does everything the MDT-DRS does out of the box, at a much lower price point. The Panthera will shoot minute groups at 100 yards. The MDT-DRS is for that premium market who wants a chassis, probably around $3000-3500. That's is a big leap up. Don't get me wrong I adore a chassis. I own an MPA chassis for my RAW HM1000x and it shoots better groups with the chassis. These are rifles for different price markets. IMO

It was just the vibration of the tripod.

Probably will cost you your life as from a distance you can't tell if it's a real gun or a toy....BAD IDEA

Gun is a gun. Why would anyone loose their life?

I was thinking the same thing. Should be available soon since this is the direction things are going

I am glad in my country, as we are not in any way flooded with weapons, a airgun will not have to identify as anything.

The Impact and DRS are nothing like each other. They are built for completely different purposes, so I don’t think there’s a point comparing them.

@@AirArmsHuntingSA There is PRS shooting in my country ( 2 clubs ) but it seem to just be for hunters playing / practicing, i very much doubt i as a none hunter would be welcome there. Anywho while PRS centered the DRS pro would probably be fine on a bench too ( no benchrest shooting in any club here ) But i am also quite sure the DRS pro will be much too expensive, probably the most FX rifle so far relegating the panthers to entry level PRS rifle. So my eyes are on the DRS Classic, which i hope in .177 and 6 - 700 mm barrel will not be silly expensive.

"not too expensive".....you are kidding right 🤔

@@nigelbase1196 lol I've had a daystate redwolf, impact and now I got a AGT Vulcan. So maybe not more expensive than them

Just a basic panthera is nearly £2k. This is likely well north of that. Airguns getting ridiculously expensive to be honest. Hopefully the precision of the manufacturer and choice of build materials is second to none. I'm talking 2024 billet aluminium, titanium, chromoly steel etc. I don't want to be seeing any cheap pot metal on one of these or any future fx airguns. For the price it's what we should expect, not want.

This is gonna be $2700 minimum the acc elite on mdts website is 1600 alone how are they gonna make money if it’s 2000 I’ll be impressed…

@@The.Toaster Most of the FX airguns are made for the FAC market sadly, I doubt they will make a 'affordable' one, because they won't be able to compete with say BSA or most Air arms on being consistent and reliable. I agree too, most airguns are getting way to expensive, I saw an Air arms the other day that I have never heard of and looked awful was 2.2k. Yea, I know this new FX won't be cheap, the MDT stocks alone are over £500, let alone making one that can only fit this FX, and with it basically being a Panthera already, it will probably cost £2.5k if not more.

Up to (close) 100 Joules in .25 cal

I was fearing something like that, this will put this, wayyyy past my comfort zone Now hoping regular DRS will come in .177 FAC

Maybe 2 mags? That be my guess. Might only be one.

Just saw in therr stats on another post that it's one mag in 22 cal.

Doesn’t GRS stocks make standard rifle, action stocks chassis what have you?

Yes! they make firearm stocks and also a laminate stock for the Dreamline@@recklessjunkie

Haha are you serious it’s around the barrel that’s the whole point of this rifle!
