figgy Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Just watched the Matt Dubber video on the new brand of scopes, designed and developed by Matt, Ted Bier and Shane backed by FX Freddy. Looks very nice kit 34 mm tube for light and dialling clicks and very good reticle choices. My favourite is the mil hash Ret withy the Christmas tree and the gap and dot centre. Get ready for all the airgun YouTubers to be sporting them. Airhunters are using them. For sale via Krale in Netherlands and Sportsman gun centre uk and FX in Sweden.

Arron yeates Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Just watched this aswell and came straight on here and thought i wonder if its been mentioned lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted February 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 👍😉 they do look good, it whether they're actually better than the competition. But they will sell them to fans allover. If they win big comps with them then they're defy good enough. Wish my vortex had the same reticle as they have.. You got one on order yet Arron?

Arron yeates Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 No mate, but theret on theres looks like my Athlons ret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted February 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) I like the open cross with a small dot reticle. The large stadia at the sides are for low mag on the ffp scopes. Makes sense. These are the ones I like, not fussy and the dot is less intrusive. Edited February 22, 2020 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arron yeates Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 They look good scopes. All those that are advertising them at the mo though are all friends. Wonder if there as good as they say. Id have trust that they are. And wonder how much for the uk .arket.. probably double the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted February 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Krale have them listed now. Have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Magnum Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 Watched some videos on youtube and the chromatic aberration is bad... all the lads using them are on FX's payroll.. seriously a Sightron is a cheaper and better scope optically and turrets.

figgy Posted February 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 I noticed the chromatic aberration on the 68whiskey video. Its also notable on all their scopes when you watch the videos. Maybe the camera choice shows it up more. My Vortex ffp tac scope had chromatic aberration in videos, I can't see it with my eyes looking through it. I did think the same it's a FX collective singing the praises. Wonder how long before FX guns come in packages with them. When I see some true reviews on them comparing like for like, I'll be convinced they're good enough. Some good feature zero stop and good indicating turrets great reticles with illumination.

So your right they will all be pushing for the sale of these scopes. Dont get me wrong they do look good but if i get a nect scope or a replacement i will be looking at the ARKON EP4 FFP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arron yeates Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Yeah its a cracking scope mate. Cant get it in the Uk though yet i dont think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted March 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) Another to look at Arron is the Bushnell match pro only available direct to keep cost down. We'll worth a look. Vortex warranty has me, in case it ever gets damaged. Edited March 1, 2020 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telf Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Arkon should be available later this year (hopefully) , ffp only at first with possibility of sfp later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arron yeates Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 All mine are SFP apart from the bantams Athlon FFP which i would only stick to now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaman Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 More hype from FX camp and Dubber & co just read about the plenum which aren’t giving any more power with out doing other mods and installing a stronger spring apparently FX slugs which we haven’t got yet new .357 coming out very soon , probably for the American market only and I am a FX fan boy , but really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted March 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Villaman the power plenum comes with all the bits to up the power without maxing out reg pressure. All for around £120.00, I think that is good value when you look at what your getting. The 9mm will be interesting to see in use, I'm sure it will be available to order. If not straight away the barrel and probe mag kit should be. I like FX but know where your coming from, if your biggest market is USA you'd be a fool not to get product to it first.

figgy Posted March 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) Swfa are great scopes, according to the YouTube shooters. The milspec ones should be very good Edited March 9, 2020 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The standard power plenum kit doesn't give anymore power, it just allows you to have probably another magazine of pellets. The only way you will get more power is using the standard mk2 hammer spring in the power plenum kit as the one supplied cannot overcome 125barg reg pressure. To gain speed you have to take the reg over this, for slugs, mk2 JSB's , etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandre Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 What scope do you think is the best the Element titan or the vortex pst gen 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted August 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 I would have to look through both to decide as what I like you may not. Can you look through both? I like the vortex warranty and quality for the price of their kit, so would probably buy the Vortex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
