Thanks! I was hoping for better, especially as so many reviewers have made a big deal out of it. Seems that FX aren't all they're cracked up to be. Shame really. All the best
I bought a Drs .22 back in June. I’ve just got my hands on an airforce one muzzle mount chrono. It’s reading 6.1-6.5 ftlb. Not very happy!! It’s as it was out of the box. No fiddling from me
Just some info for anybody buying this rifle. First of all it does have hammer adjustment which is easy to do although you have to do it with the action out of the stock make sure you chrono it to stay below 12ftp. The so called plenum that looks like a magazine isn't its just a blanking block and does nothing on the sub 12 gun. I do agree that the quality control on the power setting doesn't seem to be good but you can correct this.
Hi Nicholas...and here lies the problem. Legally speaking, by allowing someone to adjust the power level of an air rifle past 12ft lbs with no restrictions such as anti tampers, you've actually handed that person a firearm which is against the law. The police could take that rifle from you and you'd never get it back. You could also face prosecution
I'm glad you're happy with them. They seem strong enough but they are awkward to load against other types / makes of magazines. I guess the larger versions are easier to wind up. Anyway, that said, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Happy New Year to you!
Hi Alan...scores wise, no but only by a whisker! The KalibrGun Cricket II carbine beat it by 0.1 stars overall. That said, the HW100 is still an amazing rifle and the one I tested was a decade old as opposed to the KalibrGun which is brand new. I prefer the HW100 for loading/indexing, but the Cricket has it on its 300 BAR cylinder (larger shot count per fill). Cost wise, there's not much in it between the two. I would happily own a HW100 if I could convince my wife to let me have one! Regards S510 Core...if I can get my hands on one, I would happily compare it against the other two. Let's see what AA has to offer?? All the best and happy new year to you!
@ yeah I’ve got a recent HW100 at 20 joules (I’m in France) and it’s superb, but I’m looking for something different for the collection (it’ll only make 2 at that point 😃), but the barrel just puts me off this one, cos of the way it looks (I know that’s shallow of me). More like a punt gun 😃, but I’m juggling between an S510 ultimate sporter, or a really good springer. Also, I’d be really interested to see a wide pellet comparison. I’d only just learned air arms pellets are made in the Czech JSB factory, but I wanna learn more about all the quality options out there, solely for target work and accuracy on paper. Hope the cold gets better 👍
If it's a springer, then Weihrauch are amongst the best. I know the TX200 from Air Arms has a massive following but I prefer the HW77K. It's the gun that everyone else copied! And thanks, still got the cold but slowly getting better
The pellets are spinning you can see them fly .. . If the stock is as fexibel as a dreamline synthetic ..its hard to shoot accurat from the bench . Its a entree level gun from fx like the dreamline .needs tuning .and maybe a bad liner in that gun .thats a fx problem
Gonna watch it In bed ( it's where I'm stuck for the next 6 weeks, coz of motorcycle accident) later, Mrs owns one, gonna see if her/ your findings concur, can't reply on telly, so will do tomorrow on phone.. It'll be VERY interesting to watch...
Good idea...should get you off to sleep in less than 3 minutes! Ha! Hope the recovery is going well and that you have a much better 2025! All the best to you both and hope to see you at the GBSS this year!
Great review buddy 👍 Had expected more from the DRS. There are not many PCP's that outperform the AA 400 series Cheers!
Thanks! I was hoping for better, especially as so many reviewers have made a big deal out of it. Seems that FX aren't all they're cracked up to be. Shame really. All the best
Enjoyed a fair video unlike a lot of sales rep's 👍
Thanks! All the best

It doesn't surprise me. Hope you get it sorted out. Let us know. All the best and thanks for taking the time to comment

I have a Dreamline with almost identical magazines. I love them. Worked flawlessly for years now and I shoot a lot. They could have supplied two yes.
I'm glad you're happy with them. They seem strong enough but they are awkward to load against other types / makes of magazines. I guess the larger versions are easier to wind up. Anyway, that said, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Happy New Year to you!
I've got used to my drs mag now , yes it was an annoying fiddle to start but I soon learnt 😊
FX makes their synthetic stocks inhouse.
what are great review thank you
Thank you! Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!
Does the HW100 still come top for shooting (ignoring cost)?
Are you getting hold of the S510 “core” any time soon?
