- Certain airguns like the FX Maverick and FX Impact are so customizable there is a sea of choices. Here are the choices I made, and why I made them. Each rifle is exactly as I would want it, based on particular jobs I have in mind for them. If you are looking for advice on how to upgrade your guns, here is my two cents! If you would like to see these guns in action, follow the links below.

Thanks iggy!
Appreciate you taking the time to give us in site to the gear you use really enjoy the hunting but hearing about the gear helps with getting the right gear for hunting. Appreciate you.
Thanks Michael, its not as exciting but its the stuff that makes it all work
True that!
Thanks for taking the time to share. Love the videos.
Thanks matthew
Great video! Thanks for sharing all of this info on your setups. It gives me a lot of confidence that I’m making the right decisions when buying expensive gear.
Awesome man glad i could help
Totally!
Thanks for another great informative video 👍🏻
I need to get a 20MOA QD scope mount! I use to have a LaRue QD scope mount that I didn’t think I’d ever need again and practically gave it away. Now here I am shooting air and thinking about it every time I switch rifles. Love the content!!
Ohhh man been there. Thanks man
awesome review man. Thanks!👍
Great video Keith, and very informative mate, Cheers
Thanks Casper
Great gear video!
Awesome information. Thanks!
Thanks brother for another excellent video. God bless you. 🎯
Thanks heath!
Yeah man, when you find an excellent tune for the lead your slinging it's hard to mess with it. Good stuff Keith.
No doubt brother. Thanks!
Great video! Love seeing things along with your explanation on why you have the stuff you do! As for the lube... I was going to ask but now I don't have to!a🤣 thanks!
Haha thanks buddy
Good video very informative thank you
Thanks for the information Keith. Nicely explained. I am not to that level yet, but I can see that happening. Still shooting the dreamline classic and enjoying it. What would be cool is having someone in my area to shoot and learn how to tinker.
Absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying - classic!
From the UK massive thanks for your videos i look forward to your next one..
Thanks dave!
You and Norm have become my go to for air gun videos. I’d like to see a video that discuss the crown continuum vs the crown with power plenum vs the impact out of the box.... so many impact and maverick videos so little crown videos.... Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks david! We dont have a crown mkii yet so cant do that one quite yet!
Those are some sweet FX air rifles # 68 whiskey , can't wait to get my Maverick its on b back order , awesome product information great video 🎯
Thanks man!
Awesome video brother I need to go up there and shoot with you guys some day it will happen thanks for sharing bsafe guys
Such a bad ass rifle!!! If I had the extra 10 grand to get going I’d dive in head first for sure!
I saved for a few months, sold a few things, but I just wanted one SO bad. Bought a Maverick, Element scope, Donny FL, bag rider, and an Air Venturi tank for $3100. Local scuba shop fills the tank for $6. I don't regret a Damn thing! Do it! You WON'T regret it! :-)
The guys over at Outdoor Legacy are nothing but professionals. Great guys.
Early bird ! Thank you
Nice set up
Nice one
Hi, nice setup! Enjoyed the video of products you have found to make your shooting more efficient! Can you share a few brand names? I am interested in the detachable adjustable foot on the butt stock. Thanks again
Might want to give this a look-see. Started using Never Seize and Anti-Seize decades ago on lug nuts. Protects threads, enables max tightening force with the least amount of force yet releases without binding or lock-up
.
Definitely has its place, im always afraid they might vibrate loose with something like that on them though
Great video buddy, Buck says "where are the birds?"
COmin next week buck!
Awesome video Keith. For me it was like sitting in a Chinese lesson for the first time lol. So many unbelievable improvement attachments. Thanks for the video 🍺🍺
Great informative vid! Thanks for taking the time to shoot a vid like this, good stuff!
Thanks bro
Curious for more information for your single point sling connection point with maybe a close up shot of what you're using. I had a nice solution for my WC MKIII but need a good solution for an M3?
Great video Brother ! Now I’m scared to change my scope as I’m scared of breaking the screws . I guess I could look for some stronger bolts with the same pitch and size .
Thanks man. Yeah if you buy stainless ones they will hold up for sure
Yup, its worth washing & drying the pellets before lubing them, I use a very fine mist of 5/30 Mobil 1 car engine oil to coat the pellets, DONT soak them ! a light coating is all thats needed to improve the speed down the barrel.------------------IT WORKS !
like to get the /maverick but that's all i can afford keep up the good work guy's.
Keith. Great videos! Have you seen the Heritage Arms Cold Shot 300 moa adjustable scope mount that Chris at UpNorthAirGunner uses? Seems like it would fit right in with your long distance shooting.
I had a valdada that was really solid, but i just never used it. Fun idea though
Another great video. Very helpful. What single point sling do you use? I like the quick-release buckle. Mine has a metal release mechanism and it scratches the finish on my gun.
That was an old one from a company called “tuff gear”. They are still around but not sure if they still offer a sling.
Also do you have a part number for the bolt on rail, I could not find it on their website. Thanks so much
Fred
Awesome! Obviously everyone loves the killin vids but this was a nice change of pace just talking gear! Your killing me I've been saving up for a fx in .25 but now that you've explained the slugs and capabilities of a .30 I dont even know what to think! If you could only own one FX in one caliber what's your choice?
Absolutely 25. Listen to “the airgun podcast”. I do some q and a segments on just that!
Would also like to know what speed you're shooting the 50grn VK slugs on the M3 and if their still your favorite.
Thank you for this informative video. Two quick questions: please provide reference for the "oil" you pump on your slugs. Please provide reference for the maverick bipod.
We use br4 accutac bipods mostly. And the oil is silicon.
I am digging the caimanx behind you.
Its an awesome gun
I was wondering if you had a 500 mm FX impact barrel and you wanted to increase it to 600 mm can you just buy the liner and just get a barrel extender to save money?
I tried to make out the name on the can, but I couldn’t do it. Can you give me the name of the product you spray on the pellets, in order to avoid cleaning the barrel?
Does this stuff completely eliminate having to clean the barrel? If not after how many shots do you usually clean the barrel?
Wd40...... damn. I should have thought about that... lol 😆! Thanks for the Intel!!
Make sure its the silicone though!!!!!!
@@68Whiskey I will! Its the industrial spray! I can pick it up from work. Benefits of working in a part's store!
Perrrfect!!!!
I appreciate the vid. But was wondering if you could post a list of you mod/access along with model. Sounds like you shoot like I want to be Abel to do.
Hi .does fx Impact barrel kit fits fx maverick? Thanks
I love your setups, it has inspired me to buy an FX gun. Kieth do you think the Maverick .30 cal compact would make a good truck gun to shoot slugs out of for prairie dogs? The farthest I would be shooing is 130 yards or do you think the Wildcat compact .22 would be a better option? When I say Truck gun I mean I will be shooting out the bed of my truck out into a field.
Thanks in advance man. Keep up the great work.
Im always dubious of compact guns shooting slugs. It can work but it is hard to get them going fast enough in my experience. For slugs i would rather see a sniper version bullpuo to keep length down. But for 130 yards, a 30 cal pellet will do the job nicely. Lot easier to tune, cheaper to shoot, and more accurate most of the time. If you were into pellets id say get the mav 30 compact and have a blast killing out to 150
@@68Whiskey Oh yeah, I don't mind shooting pellets. I don't need to get the compact either. I was looking at the Maverick sniper version in .22 as well. Do you think a .30 cal would be better than a .22 for pigeons and ground squirrels? I'm not stuck on a compact I just thought they looked cool, lol. would a .22 be easier to tune for slugs and pellets than a .30? Sorry to bother you so much Keith, I just trust your advice. Been binge-watching your videos for 5 weeks now, lol.
These informational videos are EXACTLY what I'm looking for. There are a lot of hunting videos out there. Tuning, setup, gear and equipment!! And what to expect using them. Awesome work Bro!
Thanks brotha!
@@68Whiskey yessir! Watching you ,Gerhard Matt... between y'all, I'm quite happy with my choice to buy an impact! Though I'm nearly 7 grand lighter... I'd do it again.
Impact 35. 25/700mm barrel kit. Superior and heavy liners (square faced and .3 micron polish)
Nexus. Ronin. ST Arca rail. Eagle vision adjustable scope rings. Ebay atlas🤫. Kraford&lypt butt stock. Kestrel Elite and Sig Kilo 2400 BDX. Stikman fill station. ... and probably not done yet
Can I fill Fx Airguns Barrels with every Hand Pump? Or has the Hand Pump be from Fx?
Do you have a link where you got the rear adjustment stand?
Looking for the website for you guys speed loader on the FX Maverick Sniper Air Rifle
You're moving the can so much I can't read it! I saw WD-40 but is there a specific one? Or just regular WD-40? I just got my Maverick last week so I'm LOVING this content!! Thanks man!
It’s silicone
I use Eaglevision mounts, with copaslip on the bolts to stop them seizing and a very good torque wrench to tighten them down. Admit that I don't change the scope from one gun to another often but they work for me.
Good point. Ive never tried the copaslip. Will look into that thanks!
@@68Whiskey you are welcome, thanks for all the informative vids and well done indeed at RMAC
Thanks man! What a great event!
I see your camp (Matt/Ted/You, etc), use manual ballistic/ranging (kestrel)Element types scopes .. is that better than the automatic reticle/ranging/ballistic calculator such as ATN X-Sight/ABL?
It is because we can account for the conditions on hand and make our own choices. If its integrated then you just have to trust the computer and shoot. I like more control than that
Is that new liner the 1:26" barrel or the 1:37" barrel???? Im still waiting on my m3 30cal. I dont know if it will come with the new 1:26" or the older 1:37"....i heard the 1:26" is supposed to work better with the hybrid slugs
To be honest i don’t know. Mine has the faster twist
learned something new using the WD-40 silicone lube. going to have to try that. but first Im here deciding on the maverick or impact gen 3.
Get the …….lol. Tough choice!
@@68Whiskey LOL still haven't decided. leaning towards the Maverick, less fiddling with the pressures and tuning........ you think? although it is a impact gen 3.
I just ordered a Element with MRAD should I have ordered MOA? New and lost 😆
Great video I was wondering what a better platform is for bird pesting the Maverick or the impact?
Its a 50/50. They both have their benefits to be honest!
Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had you tried using different bolts on the eaglevision rings?
My FX Impact M3 in .25 from Utah Airguns just arrived and is getting set up and should ship sometime this week. I'm pretty excited. I have experience with PRS style shooting and am very interested in how similar airguns at 150-300 yards behave like centerfire shooting past 800-1000 yards. Any plans on a video on how you set up your dope and recommendations on using StrelokPro for airguns?
Yes that is definitely in the plans
@@68Whiskey Great! I look forward to it!
Thanks for this video, and all that you share with the community. I'm new to PCP, just bought my first rifle a month ago and I love it, a .30 Impact X w PP/600mm/580cc and a Helix on top. Understanding that you can definitively give me an answer without seeing it, Can you tell me what the twist rate is on stock .30 600mm barrel that come on new (Feb2021) Impact X MKII and are they called "Superior STX (slow)" barrels or something else? Thank you for your time.
Oh man you give me too much credit. I dont know the twist rate. I never really pay attention to be honest. I just try projectiles out of them and if the show promise i tune them to be as good as they can be
@@68Whiskey lol. I just want the value to input into strelok.:) I'm just going to put 34 in. it's not the easiest thing to find out, a few folk have said they don't know. thank you anyways. I like your channel btw.
Thanks man. Oh yeah if its for that 34 will work just fine
When tightening those scope screws what ft-bls are you guys tightening them to?
15 on the scope rings. 40 on the rail screws
Don’t have American defense mounts yet but I have LaRue mounts and those higher end mounts make huge difference when switching scope off and on and getting back to zero. Only issue like I had is on improper rails on air rifles like fx impact gen 1 rail was not a true Picatinny rail spacing. You could not us it with those any good mount of course FX addressed that issue.
I hear that buddy
Great video. I got a question or can you do a video on how you mounted bipod on FX WILDCAT or just tell what you bought and used and if your happy with it. I think I’m out to the stock is better than a clamp on device what’s your opinion?
I like the clamp ons a lot if they are good build quality We used saber tactical ones on our crowns and liked them a lot. The bipod attachment on the wildcat is an atlas 3.5” rail. I epoxy and screw it into the stock. But it does look a bit home done
@@68Whiskey ok great thanks a lot
Just got my Maverick after waiting almost a year for it. Can you tell me which specific rail you attached for the bipod to attach to? Thanks guys, love your vids.
Part number ST0025. Its the universal. Congrats on getting your rifle you are gonna love it!
Só fazendo inveja kkkk sucesso meu amigo ainda só nó sonho mais sempre na esperança de realizar um dia novamente muito sucesso à você todos dá turminha são show nos vídeos é sem dúvidas excelente atiradores com uma amizade esplêndida like garantido
so I see you use the firefly 8se too, my question is what settings you guys using for slow-mo, 1080/120 or 720/240? cause you footage is really clear and it doesn't look like 720 resolution ? really could use a tip :) Thanks and keep the vids going and your last couple of long range shots at 300 plus were f***king awesome.......
Thanks brother! Yes we shoot film at 1080/120. Plenty of frames for good slomo
Definitely a different video. I like not just sharing what you use, but the rationale. Am I right when I say you guys have only had this channel a year or so...if so I’d say you figured out the learning curve on how you present your content and how you guys edit it. What software or app do you use. Thank you. Looking forward to next weeks video. Love the Wall o’ Weapons. 😁👍
Hey bro, yeah i think we are going on a year and a half now. Appreciate the compliment ! I use cyberlink pro to edit
@@68Whiskey Yeah. When I started going back on your stuff, I was kinda trippin on that, because I have a buddy who’s pretty brilliant at that stuff, but it took years for him to learn. Granted from the 80’ and 90’s to now there’s been a huge leap in tech. Either way appreciate the video. Gave me some more ideas. Started baiting the back 5 acres. Those squirrels have just taken over. Maybe I can share a bit soon. Thank again.
thank you so much for the kind words sir. we appreciate you
Thanks again for the video!
Can you tell me what WD40 stuff that can was please?
I'm assuming it's silicon based?
Yessir its their silicon spray
What about the bag rider? I think you forgot to mention it. I just got one so I was wanting to hear if you felt it was a need or a want. Do you feel it’s a need or a want?
The bag rider is an absolute need when shooting off of a bag. If you use a monopod not so much. Just depends on your style. I like having it for whenever a bag is used
I saw Rick at Shooter 1721 shoot a 22 caliber FX impact and it penetrated 3/4 in of wood at 400 yds.
I'm going to purchase a FX impact Mark 3 with a 600 mm Barrel,slug power kit and FTX Barrel.
The question I have is will this 30 cal be as accurate and also be able to penetrate 3/4 inches of wood at 400 yd or is the slug going to be too heavy and lose too much energy at that distance?
The qd mounts r awesome no more ordering a $150 waterproof case and finding out your gun won’t fit with the scope on it.
Goood point i didnt even consider that!
What Accu-Tac bi-pod model is that?
Just to make sure...
Is that wd40 silicon spray???
Yes!
Awesome stuff for your CMR if you have one
would love to see a basic tuning guide on that caimen x. can't seem to find any anywhere.
Thats probably because they just shoot as is man. Or at least the two we have do. Not much going on. Point shoot repeat 🤟🏻
At 13:41 in the video you pick up a elevation/windage adapter. What is the brand/model?
That is the saber tactical monopod. Absolutely awesome.
What's the name of the hollow point slugs that you use? Where can they be purchased?
We use fx hybrids in the maverick. You can buy them at utah airguns
You guys use outstanding rifles and accessories. I am 74 and my pesting consists of shooting harassing sparrows from my three bluebird nesting boxes at 25-35 yards. The only PCP I have is a Gamo Urban which is super accurate. I need to use a rest to stay on target. Could you guys recommend an inexpensive gun rest? I usually use the corner of the porch, or the house to steady my rifle. I don't want to spend a ton of money on one, but neither do I want to buy a piece of junk either. I never miss one of your videos. You guys and Matt Dubber have some of the best on CZcams. Thanks for any help you can provide. 🥺
Geo from Kalamazoo, MI
Hey Geo, thanks so much! I really like the bog tripod they are around 250 the caldwell deadshot is more like 140 and not too bad either if you are gonna be shooting from roughly the same spot all the time :}
@@68Whiskey Thanks for your input. I am considering the Bog Deathgrip on Amazon for $124. I've read many positive reviews and some complaints regarding the 8# weight. I won't be carrying it into the woods so that's not a big deal. I just want a steady rest for pesting in the back yard. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks again. 🙂
What spray are you using?
Idk if you realize you said on the eagle rings you can tighten them as much as you want and they won't brake. That is why their are torque specs. If 80-90 percent bolt heads brake off , maybe you should try proper torque specs. Food for thought. I still learn a lot from you just a thought. Ex-tech sorry had to torque everything for a reason.
You are absolutely right. No argument i should use the torque specs. But i dont. I crank em hard. The eagle bolts break. The fx ones dont. Just an observation from use of many. I torque the scope bolts itself but not the pic rail bolt
What model of AcuTac bipod?
Keith ! nice job! where does one get the varmit knockers?
Just message dale on instagram! “Varmint knockers” is his user name
What would tune would you recommend for maverick 30 cal shouting jsb 44.75
880 fps. Final reg around 130. First reg 170 or so
@@68Whiskey thank you very much
If one was looking for the most power and shot count, which one would you choose?
Impact with an air marksman bottle on it
Is that just regular WD-40? I noticed the yellow cap
Also tell me about that 1 point sling?
Does the WHISKEYUA still work at UA for scope tape?
Yessir!! Certainly does when u call it in. Think it does online
have you every had the hammer spring thread move over a short period of time as mine seems to be doing ?
No greg i havent had that happen
What gun?
@@airenthusiast1071 It's on my Impact .....I noticed the velocity dropping as the hammer thread was moving which i assumed was due to the gun firing ? Since then a friend who has the same gun has noticed his doing the same .
Do I need 1/2x20 UNF or M20x1 moderator for my Maverick? I can not figure this out with tha google machine.
I think they are all 1/2 buddy. But do yourself a favor and call donnyfl. They are awesome people and will make sure you get exactly what you need.
Subbed. Just picked up a maverick .177 and I know absolutely nothing about them
Its awesome. Probably will shoot great out of the box. Not much more to know! If it shoots leave it alone! Thanks for subbing man, welcome
what kind of wd-40 was that they make lot different ones ?
Its the silicone spray thats yellow and black
Fx impact mk2 was .35 now.25 I got it with three slugs lodged in the breach. I cleared it but it will not hold air. It pours out the barrel as fast as I put it in. This model doesn’t have coverage like the older mk2. So it’s a little different. Also with the 720 mm plenum I can’t find any videos that address this issue. Can anyone please help At least point me in the right direction I want to learn everything about my rifles. Thank YOU I need help.
It sounds like a valve is stuck and needs a short powerful burst of air to reset it. Let me guess, you got it used and it was stored empty of air for awhile right? When they sit empty the seals relax and are hard to get going again. Usually a firemans bottle blast of air will seal. A compressor will never get it to seal
Like the last rifle best.
Its my baby
Is that the saber tactical rail extender you have on there?
The best
Have you done a video on scopes?
Should I go for the Nexus or Titan? Main use is primarily bench rest shooting!
While i love both, the nexus wins out for clarity when it comes to seeing a small hole in the paper at 100 yards. Thats what i used at rmac this year and it treated me very well
@@68Whiskey Thanks man I'll pony up the extra cash for the Nexus!
Good call brother
I've tried buying an FX impact for 2 years now with no luck.
Put a deposit down on a pre order only to be offered one quickly. I got a bad feeling that they built it from parts, got a refund.
I have read reviews from the BBB about people getting ripped and having bad dealings. Also , these rifles seem to be out of stock every time I look.
The only way I would buy one is to cash and carry it out. But, I have trouble with no stores in my state.
hello where can i buy all this accessories?
Thanks for a video...where can i buy this camera
Just search it on google. Not sure the carriers change often
Sorry about the beginning. I missed the WD40 product that you are using. What was it?
Its their silicon spray
@68. Whiskey. Thank you for your response. In the video you were moving the spray can alot and I couldn't see exactly what you had. I only caught the WD40 part. I can't believe you responded to my question since your video is a year old. But I enjoy your videos. I've taken the plunge and have been upgrading my Impact M3 that I picked up in January of this year. Just don't tell my spouse. Aloha!
