interesting, new rifles, Take-down, folding.

Morning lads.... :D hope your all well and enjoying the better weather.

With all the new bullpups and new rifles coming to the market some manufactures are starting to listen to what Air-gunners may need out in the field, and for just fun.

I have taken an interest for some time now!, in light weight folding or take down rifles and bullpups not to everyone's taste,,, however they do have there benefits. it's bad enough carrying heavy dive bottles and pups around, along with other shooting gear, so a light weight rifle like the Air Arms TDR or maybe the FX, verminator.
Certainty has it's benefits.

I am amazed by the new rifles coming to the market however don't get me wrong I still love my HW100 and TX200, but it is nice for a change, and light weight is the way.
My TDR is great little rifle so light and handy, and the light weight, compact size has made this Little TDR one of my favorite rifles and the one that I take out shooting on most days.

Here bellow is whats to come in the take down, folding craze and I welcome it with open arms. These rifles have there place light handy folding take down easy to carry.
And very discreet.

Wow the FX looks different and the price is very inviting ,
just need to see some spec's like shot count etc, and whether the price will be that when they do come out.

the fx takes 45 seconds to put together. then takes 20mins to zero the scope every time you take it down and put it back together. you would think fx would know to keep zero the scope has to stay on the action.

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless.

It's unlikely that the FX take down will be available in it's current form.

The idea of being able to change calibre isn't new but would cause difficulties now manufacturers don't want you to have the ability to set power. They would have to make it so that the power reset automatically when changing calibre.
I would think there would be a market with a single calibre though.
