I love the rifle Toney FX contacted me. You can adjust the reg in the chassis. I’ll show how in my next video. I have a bunch of slugs to try. Hopefully, I’ll shoot today.
Hello Sir , The MDT chassis does not have to be removed for the tuning as you can access the regulator true the slots on the side of the chassis ( small logo ) and the hammerspring adjustment can be done also with the chassis on you just need a ball allen key to adjust both .
That is great news I will be shooting it this afternoon I have a bunch of slugs to test. I will correct my mistake in saying the chassis has to come off. I have a question in one of the Utah airgun videos they are showing tuning the DRS classic lowering the regulator pressure turning the regulator clockwise with out degassing the regulator. Is that safe to do?
@@myairgunrange That would be nice if you could correct that 😉 it’s no problem to turn the regulator down under pressure as long as you do it max 1/4 turn at a time with some shots in between to cycle the regulator.
I've been shooting my DRS Pro .25 700 and I think it is Awesome! I have been shooting the H&N 40gr heavy slugs @975 fps with the reg set at 147bar. It has the match grade trigger, slug power and 1:16 slug liner already installed. The trigger is very nice. Way nicer than my M3 trigger. I was able to take it prairie dog shooting this weekend, it is so much nicer to carry than my M3 .25 700 as it has QD swivel cups built in to the chassis, just put on a sling. I don't shoot out to 500 yards like Andy does, but I did take down pdogs at 200 yards. This rifle is perfect for me as I am a set it up to shoot and shoot it guy, no messing around with it, Just Shoot It !
*** NEWS FLASH *** A lot of people want a simple, light weight PCP to just shoot. Seen numerous COMPLAINTS about FX PCPs being too complex. The DRS is the FX offering to that market. Think that FX is also working to address the barrel rigidity concerns that some people have. Many people liked the FX Royale for its simple reliability, I have a 500 and totally agree. I also have a Crown, an Impact and a Panthera and enjoy their tunability. That being said, I have a DRS on order because it is a simple PCP (that can be adjusted to a particular projectile without major disassembly) and shot casually. Just an observation, there are many disciplines and interests in the airgunning world and the manufacturers cater to all of them. It's not realistic to presume that every airgun was designed to your requirements and get "disappointed" when you find out (after you have made a purchase) that it is not ideal for your specific application. Do diligence and your research before purchasing (and a bit of checking how things work - or not - before recording a video on a new to you product). I'm just asking, if you want to shoot really heavy slugs, would a .30 not have been better? Think that the DRS is designed primarily a classic PELLET GUN and that market (hence, the smaller low profile magazine which would allow mounting smaller lighter scopes - YAY!). Think that the PRO version is available for the "maximum crowd" because the (Panthera) valve system can develop the power to drive heavy slugs long distances accurately. It definitely has potential. The DRS might be a good "project gun" for you, for me it's the ideal light weight, simple pcp for stalking squirrels. Sorry that the DRS is not designed to your specifications, each to their own eh! Cheers!
Sorry but I laughed at all the fuss about not shooting the longer slugs. 😂 If you're buying it for a particular projectile (specifically slug), you better DAMN well do your research. 😜
@@WeissRC my girlfriend said I look liked a spoiled kid not getting my way lol. You know the saying when you assume something. AVS is making me some heavy slugs that will fit another video will be coming soon
Orion the Iguana Hunter makes Awesome magazines ! They will allow you to use a longer slug than the FX magazine. I have a .25 700mm DRS, the FX magazine easily hold a 46gr H&N Heavy slug, which has a BC of .133 I am shooting the H&N 40gr Heavy slug at 975 fps with the reg set at 150bar.
I love the FX rifles I have , but I will not be getting one of them drs's in the near future . In time they will either figure it out or lose costumers . Too bad , I love the other rifles because of the easy adjustment . I'm shure in a few generations they will give us the one we want . Or someone else will .🤔
@@timchamberlin9280 so in a year or so when FX comes out with a better version of it. You will not get it or have buyers remorse for getting half of what you wanted .? How many other fx guns have you gotten in the first generation offered ? None of mine are in the first generation offered . I waited till bugs were worked out or aftermarket parts were available to get it right .
@@timchamberlin9280 sorry to hurt your feelings , is is a great rifle . But it will be better in a few months time . Whats better than a great rifle ???two !
I’m getting one for damn sure I know exactly what fx was trying to accomplish with this rifle and I’m in. they’re trying to cater to a larger audience, a simple rifle, no adjustments that can get knocked or bumped set it and forget it The powder burners will appreciate it just watch matts video. It’s not that bad. Tune it naked. And be done.
I mean, that’s kind of annoying, but it’s like setting the first reg on the M3 right? Taking the bottle on and off to get it just right and once it’s where you want it the headaches over not the end of the world now the smaller mag situation that’s weird anyway I’m sure you’ll get it shooting great and your next video will be a positive one
If you put the angled guage bracket on with the guage, how do you adjust the regulator, it looks like you would have to remove it so you can take the chassis off, then reinstall it to adjust it, then remove it again so you can install the chassis again and then put the angled bracket and guage back on, that really seems like a pain in the ass
I hope you get around to trying the Epic Two. I am having good fun, and that is in the limited .177 caliber that have its own set of unique challenges, not least no choice in size. But the folks able to shoot larger stuff seem to have a good old time.
@@myairgunrange Sweet. I had a mishap with a bad LW barrel with a huge choke in the middle of it, changed to a CZUB and its now smooth sailing. Taking the .177 to 130 M / i assume that's like 150 yards or so But first need to finish the new shot shed that will enable that distance. Hope to inaugurate it on July 4 with a shoot a palooza of epic proportions.' That be just us 2 shooters, but then some nice burbon for my M8 and single malt for me, and then a little later some chilling around the firepit.
Fx is making expensive Airguns and putting less options on them, I’m happy with my M3, they should have external adjustments on these for what they cost but I think they’re sacrificing adjustability for the look of a real powder burner, definitely not for me, not worth it in my eyes
Wow almost 3 grand for that airgun and it can't hold 4500 psi 😢 l will keep tuning my 800$ aea challeger pro 25 cal it holds 4500psi easily. And it will shoot 100+ fpe with a 600mm barrel
I got the angle block which my gun and my mdt chassis is to smal i can not get it seperate them. So my plenum is dammaged and paint dammaged the Hammer spring give it one pull a bit harder dan it will turn .and my fillprobe is lekking 😡😡😡😡 but stops over 200 bars
You are very right. You never again the best package that they can give you. They make you buy all the upgrades so instead of spending 3000. You have to spend four. A karma red panda is 18:10 2000 You got everything you could possibly ever need nothing needs to be upgraded. That’s why FX is the worst company on the planet.😮
@@bcml8 This one yes, but the ones with the synthetic and wood stock, no, that is meant for casual shooters and small game hunters. They did NOT think well. Initially there are same diehard fx fanboys buying it but in the long run I think it will not do as good.
@L.V-Rider Not every rifle is for everyone. Otherwise , FX and other air rifle manufacturers would only make 1 rifle. I have a DRS, and it fits my needs for an air rifle perfectly ! Solid, accurate, powerful, well-balanced, and easy to set up !
I have no interest in fx anything. If you say Taii PANi or vulcan I'm listening, Buying an FX is like listening to a car salesman, you're getting ripped off And lied too.
I concur, i had a impact and it was a leaking $2000 POS. and the service i received from AoA on my purchase was absolute Shit! Send it in for repairs only to get it back leaking somewhere else. I sent it to Ernest he fixed everything and i got rid of it. There barrel stabilization is trash, then to wanna sell you a kit to tighten up a 2K gun is absurd! They got over 2500 from me. Never again will i buy anything from that Swede. Or AoA.
@@myairgunrange it was damaged no manometers and when you mount the block and manometer it dos not fit anymore in his box . I am so diaponted i am going fore the karma no more fx fore me those barrels are to thin
If you can Andy,try to get an epic air rifle in your hands,I have the .25 cal with 700mm barrel,so far I can get a little over half inch at 100 using 43 grains slugs
When the DRS was first announced I was interested, the first FX I was interested in. Then came the specs and the fact that it cannot be externally adjusted, no regulator / plenum gauge, low pressure reduce the shot count. Now this is the last pcp I am interested in. Matt Dubber is full of shit. First he went on about how adjustable FX rifles was, now he is all of a sudden about "simplicity" and no need for all that stuff. But he himself added a aftermarket gauge on his drs. He is just marketing FX for brownie points and his pay check.
Can’t believe they excluded the same things on the pro model they did on the basic one. Shameful especially for the price of this thing. I own four fx rifles and they 150% suck azz for how they brought this one to the market. However consumers are to blame. Eh I’ll order it and pay extra. Sure why not.
Il buy a rti mora en intead off that or the p3 you don't need some thingston hammers carbon sleeve or anything to improve just out off the box and shoot it maybe some reg adjustment or Hammer thats it
The fact that the DRS is in high demand might mean that your requirements and definition of "POS" might not be the same as what a lot of people think. People who shoot at extremes of distance and projectile weight are a minority and the DRS seems to be perfectly fine for most folks. Each to their own.
Great video! We appreciate the kind words and look forward to more reviews. Thanks again TalonTunes.
