My Maverick arrived today. Thank you for the honest reviews 🙏👍 My AEA HP SS+ is like a Ford Pinto vs the Maverick which is like a Bugatti Veyron in comparison. Thank you!
Oh I don’t think anyone doubts you on being able to put it in the center. You have proven yourself many times and are one heck of a shot. Love the videos they help so much in deciding on what to buy .
Nice demo! Thanks for not only passing along your experience but for showing it real time! I shot my 25 Maverick today got 106 shots at 125bar sending 33.95 JSBs at 870! 6 full mags +10 and ran outta pellets!🤣
I like the fact that you predict and explain the various conditions that affect shooting accuracy. I like real world scenarios, as we all experience them.
I like the way you give the facts! I'm still waiting on my new impact .30 cal but went ahead and ordered the maverick before Christmas. After watch you videos is why I went with the FX brand! Thank you!
@@experienceprecision5406 why not? If one is after precision as I do with everything in life. I finally got the impact 2 weeks ago. I want to shoot competition. Why not have a choice? I doing this before I retire in 3 years.
The maverick is a great alternative to an impact, especially in countries where power restrictions are strict, the impact is fantastic if you have the ability to use all the tuning aspects of the rifle, but in England and some European countries , the impacts have anti tamper devices on the gun to stop you from altering the power, so in my opinion there's not much point in paying the extra when you can't make the most of the gun.
It always makes me appreciate my shooting skill when I watch you guys across the pond, in the UK 11.5 fpe is the average legal power, and my maximum range for effective hunting is sixty yards maximum. I'd love to have the options you guys have.
@@pvegod1484 Yup quite right pal......BUT dont forget the doctors signed certificate also, without the police seeing this SATISFACTORY & SIGNED DOCTORS certificate YOUR DEAD IN THE WATER.........Also, YOUR ISSUING POLICE FORCE MAY not ISSUE A fac........In the UK right now, several police forces will not grant an FAC, if they do it will come with several very severe limitations........Good luck !
@@jamesbowskill362 I applied in March, got my doctors note within a week of requesting it for £20 and am looking at receiving my fac in the next month according to my firearms officer who also goes shooting. Also I’m in humberside which has one of the longest wait times. So I’ll stand by it not being hard. If you want it bad enough you can get it.
Just added a Tungsten hammer and slug power kit on my .25 vp. 44gr H&N slugs at 1090fps with 700mm barrel. Front reg 180, rear reg 150. It's a laser beam at 100 meters. You inspired me to move over to FX from the Chinesium, less reliable alternatives. Thanks for each and every video you make 🙏
I have this one on order for doing my Iguana & pest removing down in Florida. I have to say this is great info & think it is a lot better than the Ed Gun in the same caliber.
I ABSOLUTELY Love the fact you did it as is, as it comes. And with a VP. Thanks my man. I've been watching this gun for a month now. I just might get one! P.s. subbed last month. Keep this $hit up! :-)
I just convinced my wife I needed a FX Maverick compact .22. Now with your great marksmanship, I’ll have to figure out a way to run a Maverick VP .30 past her.
I just watched the Impact 600mm review, and was idly wandering what a rifle like this cost. I'm recently retired, living overseas on damn near nothing (Social Security) and have a Hatsan 125 sitting in Customs, seized in June 2021 and never released. (It's not an illegal item, I just didn't know only shops can 'import' an air rifle.) So I like to wonder about such things. Then I hear the price...wow! ....I'll never be able to afford such a rifle and am actually still paying on my credit card for the one held in Customs. But it's great to see people enjoying the FREEDOMS of America and sharing them with the world.
I love my VP Maverick first PCP airgun ever. Bought from Utah airguns. FX gets a lot of hate. But only see great things and passion form the company. Love the gun so accurate. Turning powder burners to airgunners now.
Another great video. The more I learn about the fix guns the more I like them. Almost 1000 FPS in the cold with a 30 cal? Plus a good shot count and very accurate. I’m going to have to save up and get me one. Great video Rick. Hope you didn’t get frost bite.
Heard this sat but glad I got to watch it today. Might be my favorite video. I've been looking for my first high end pcp and this is something to look at. Very good information.
nice gun, I want 1 bad ....7mm barrel with those 50g jsb =100fpe all day long....you must have heard me say I want to see the vp maverick review lol...
I've had one on order with airgun Depot since May 14th. The date of delivery is moved back every time I check the back order. I'm not expecting delivery anytime soon.
Rick as always enjoyed the video and the maverick, love the adjustability and can't wait till we get it up north in Canada. I've been waiting for a fx gun and wasn't sure about the impact as as much as that gun offers Iam kinda a wood lover. I didn't want to jump on the tactical bandwagon but it really does offer you endless possibilities. Oh well price once we get it and perhaps this will be my first. Happy new year and prayers buddy you have a better year health wise and keep coming
Wow!! Merry Christmas and Happy new year Rick. Nice setup and that vp pretty loud w/o donny. I'd keep donny on it if I can get one in same caliber like yours. Have you try heavier slugs may be can hold better even w cold wind like that. Think about.. may be make a quick call to Nielsen with deep dish base and hollow point. 👍✌🤩
Love your videos, great job, if you had to choose considering price point, value and just backyard plinking out to 100 yards, what would you choose, Hatsan factor rc or FX maverick VP or sniper?
For some time, I have been in search of the perfect .30cal airgun. I bought the Kalibr Argus 60 .30cal, but I had to return it, as it was not meeting the velocity specs (830fps with 44.75gr JSB). I haven't been a fan of bottle front guns, but the adjustability you gain with the Maverick is contagious! I have never considered the benefits of having an airgun with swappable barrels and calibers. I already have two Benjamin Bulldog .357s, and the Maverick is the perfect addition! Now I just have to decide between the VP and the Sniper. Some of the best airgun videos on the internet!!!
Could you get a chronograph reading at 50 and 100 yds and figure out the down range foot pounds of energy delivered to the target. It would be interesting to compare 22, 25, and 30 at a constant feet per second at the mussel. Thanks for the effort TOM
Watch Rick's posting of shooting the 22cal slug into cold clay at 100,150,200& he even got up to 300yds with extremely impressive results out of a 22.Now look at the difference posted of F.P.E on the 30cal compared to the F.P.E on the 22 and realize the massive amount of punch without even having to purchase massive blocks of clay for the 30cal...For me it's not about the speed it's about the consistency shot to shot with the most F.P.E. with the best coefficient of energy produced on impact...That's what gets the job done...
I must say.Your as impressive as the FX... I'd be dammed if I posted a video being that cold,so that being said I appreciate you man because I really want to get into this sport in a REAL way and so far on everything I've watched from you has been nothing less than (REAL) time good on your part... I Thank You very much,my old-lady not so much (YET)!!! Since she noticed one of my receipts for some PCP stuff I was stupid enough to have laying out on my desk when she walked in before going out shopping to ask me if I needed anything from the store.(Ut Oh The Cat Is Out Of The Bag) Needless to say she decided for that moment, I didn't need to spend any more money that day no matter how much I briefly tried to show her it was money well spent. LMFAO. So long story long,she returned when I had just finished up sighting my stuff in and let her have a go.Well that kinda backfired a little because I now have to get another one set up just for (HER), so financially I have to lay some of the blame on you for showing me the good stuff that works really well,and she threatened me that she wants hers to function as good if not better than mine.So I told her to subscribe to your channel to watch and learn once I get hers all set up good to go.(Side note I didn't tell her to click on the *Bell* so I can get your newest stuff first)...This is one of a few channels I look forward to checking on after just another Covid-19 day... :( Be well and stay healthy.... ;)
Awsome video review on this air rifle Mr Rick 1721! The FX line is outstanding for all I've ever heard for the price point. You did an Awsome shooting session showing just that! Ive been in the pcp air rifle buisiness for awhile now and you always nail it in your videos. I broke down awhile back an purchased the FX.30 maverick sniper version because of all the hype about them. Outta the box is amazing if you've never owned one. I'm certainly glad I got it. I found it to shoot the jsb 44gr in lights out fashion. I'm going to tune it the same as the model you did here. I've heard it maximizes the shots for consistency. Just an Awsome Awsome air rifle! As always , stay slinging that sweet air rifle lead! Ed the snippin backyard man💥👇💪😎
Nice video You’ve mentioned that the gun has been out in the cold like in the 30 I have an impact and where I live temperature is in the 30 to is it true you get less shot per full when it’s cold
Yes, it's physics. Air when heated compresses and expands molecular volume. Conversely, when air is chilled it decompresses and reduces volumn. Think of when you fill your airgun, it warms because the air is compressed. The cooling down of air in your gun will make your gauge show less air because of decompression.
Huh....Why was the overall sound dampened post moderator..? pellet speed was same or faster. Sounded like less "crack" and "bang" not quite understanding...Thanks for any direction.
I was wondering on power Rick of the Maverick and VP model.? For .30cal 600mm barrel im impressed and with your shooting of course. Way to read the wind!😊
Hey Rick- looking at the gun as sold by say pyraMID air, they say the .30 gets around 860 fps (with 44 gr pellets)- you are getting 960 or so- you got that number just by adjusting the regulators? Did you also have the tune kit for slugs to get that speed? Also can the 700 mm barrel be used on it? I woudl be looking at the .22 cal, but woudl like the fpe to be 70+ if possible? The accuracy just looks awesome!
I bought a FX Maverick in 30 700mm barrel shot 44.75 jsb 970fps first reg 160 second reg 130bar hammer spring almost to max but not, it has about 2 turns left, no power kit, just like it comes from the factory, I love it, I put the 49 grain zans slugs on it, shoots 945 to 950 almost 100fpe It's a monster!
@@markmtbrider the vp edition is to save money so if if can afford it don’t get stingy .I would put a carbon fiber bottle on my Fx boss if I could find one that fits .
Pyramid air , NSA and others have ballistic calculators. Plug in the projectile weight and the fps and they will give you the energy. With this set up, close to 22lr target ammo energy levels.
How do you tell if your new FX has 20 Moa as I’ve heard some did not have it even though it said they came with it. Help Thanks so much for your reviews. Their the best
Wait you can change the barrel and calibers?? And have adjustable power levels at a turn of the wheel? I was looking at the Air Avenger in .25 cal for $350 but if I can have an FX and one gun in 25 and 30 cal for another $1000 I may reconsider.
@@Boogerboys1990 judging by photos of the 700mm sniper, it should clear . but not much in it, what Donny do you have (width). How is your VP performing?.
I’ m interested in what kind of transferport there is in the Maverick VP you’ve got. The ones that are sold in Sweden where I live are regulated at a certain power Which)is a pitty. However there is a way too walk around that regulation. Please exc my poor language as I’not fluent in English.
The 1st regulator capping the pressure to the second one is why you're seeing a slow recovery during your velocity test. Maybe not a good gun for speed silhouette?
