I literally am waiting on my crown Mark 2 chassis rifle to show up and then this comes out!!!! I could have got this instead and it's cheaper!!!! This is my luck! 🤣🤣🤣
finaly, FX has found multiple regulators work better to step down pressure. At my work (laboratory) for 1 analysis we have 3 regs in series to step down the delivered 200bar N2 cylinders to eventually ~30bar. 1st step does roughly to 50bar and then the last 2 regs do the precise work. as slight increase in pressure can have massive effect on some analysis we do. Great to see this from FX, great competitor to the RTI Prophet/priest 2. with carbon bottles
I've been using double Regs even on my mig welder gas lol, it all started out because I thought I had a bad regulator so I had a second one and hooked it up in line now it just feels like I can more precisely regulate my gas and I have been able to use actually less gas I'm running at a lower pressure more consistently
When I first saw it, I thought it looked for all the world like a chassis wildcat. Woo-Hoo!!! Man, being able to lie in the grass and shoot! Not here. Central Texas. All Fire Ants, Scorpions, and everything stings here. I built a pcp hand gun equipped with a black light and green reflex dot sight just for hunting them. last summer I killed 1837 scorpions on my home range. They glow like bright green stars in the black light. LOL! When my own design hand cast HP's hit them they explode in a shower of green shrapnel. Love it@ Thanks for the vid. Matt. I'm excited over this new offering which doesn't happen very often. I am currently still testing the Superior liner that FX made available to me before the release to the public. I removed the choke and it shot even better! The Maverick looks like a handy light weight hunter. I'll be watching!!! KnifeMaker
Matt i bought your special FX slug gun . Got it 2 days before THANKSGIVING but only got 1 tube of slugs. ( rest on back order ) have a (HELIX SCOPE ) on it an going to NEXUS. THE GUN Deserves it. ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW WOW WOW . THE GUN deserves the same amount on optics as the price of gun. .. If anybody wants a gun with performance this is it !!!!!! U HAVE GOT. Thank u. For the time u spent on it an UTAH AIR GUN. IS THE SAME. If I can say one thing about these company's Is ALSOME GRADE A+ craftsmanship an professionalism the $ spent it WAY ABOVE THE PRODUCT U RECEIVE . 100 YARDS IS A WALK IN THE PARK WITH THIS GUN. Can't wait for the 25 an 30 cal for this. Thank u an the wait was WORTH IT. .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That just made our day Tom. Love the enthusiasm and we completely agree, our aim is that you get more rifle that you spend on it and that have a lifetime of enjoying it. We hope you enjoy your Impact!
Matt this is great! One of the best reviews of an airgun I have watched. I have been trying to decide what 25 to get and I am preordering a Maverick, thanks for this.
Thank you for all this information. Been holding off on the Impact because it seemed a bit complicated for a recreational shooter like me at 73. Have the Wildcat mk2 in 25cal. I think I can handle the step up in 22cal.👍
Thank you for such a great introduction to the MAVERICK. You do a great job explaining the differences between the Maverick and the impact thank you for all your hard work
That's great I got my impact one month before they started shipping with the power plenum I got my mk3 wildcat two weeks ago seems like fx waits for me to get something to upgrade it
I know your pain well, I bought my crown right before they changed over to the picatinny rail and like you when I bought the impact about a month later the power plenums were installed for the same price I have been months trying to get one but they are on back order in the US.
Truthfully, that's how most companies are working these days. Just look at cell phones. You can but the most top of the line model and three months later, is obsolete
@@cmac1100 I wouldn’t worry much if you already have a relatively new crown or impact. The only difference seems to be the new plenum and double regs. In theory it makes the same power as both, it just seems a bit annoying with 2 regs. A lot of people automatically move to huma regs so will we now have to strap 2 in the gun.
Having spent a year, and having bought each component separately to convert my Dreamline Classic to the Dreamlite I wanted, and am now waiting and waiting to convert it to a bottle gun with a power plenum, I'm not feeling very inspired to buy something else from FX. Maybe FX ought to do a better job of supplying the promised parts for existing guns rather than making new ones instead? Quite frankly, if AirArms would make my 510XS into a lightweight skeletal gun, I'd put money into that instead. It's just as accurate and practically the same power.
Yours is one of my favorite air rifle channels. I just watched Air Rifle Activities channel and he spray painted the backs of his slugs/pellets with fluorescent green (he said fluorescent orange is best) and when he showed replays in slow motion, the slugs were very visinle. A good idea that you should consider since you show slow motion replays.
Great presentation as usual Matt , A versatile gun with loaded features at a very reasonable price , excellent accuracy at such weather conditions. I did not understand how to alter the valve settings to get the best air consumption and timing. Thanks
I just bought the sniper in 25 cal,oh my God what a gun,it shot 1014 ft. Per second using fx pellets 25.4 gr. At 57.99 ft/lbs, this is going to be fun,and got over a 100 shots out of the 580cc bottle,and still had 1.1 of air in my bottle and still shot good at that Rev pressure, now I might buy a impact too,this is fun .oh yes I did buy a compressor too ,I'm going broke now.!!!!!!!!°
@@jaadmaan8156 Only the slug power kit. Other than that, stock, it was shooting 25gr JSB Monster Redesigns at 875 before the slug kit. Now I shoot 25gr slugs at 980 all day. Peep my channel for some low-tier videos on the Mavvy (compared to Matt here, no doubt)
Matt, you're one fantastic spokesman for the FX genre of air guns and do such a great job in your practical testing videos I hope they are 'compensating' you accordingly.....
Watched the video and ordered the gun 5 minutes later. This gun will be a game changer! Looked into so many other guns there always something I don’t like about them and couldn’t pull the trigger, but as soon as I saw this baby I simply had to have it. ......granted you are the reason I have an impact also.
Another fantastic appraisal Matt. I'm trying to decide between a dreamline tac and a impact, and now you've just tossed a grenade into the mix. Spoilt for choice.
Matt, your videos are great and I'm almost sold on one of these. They look to be a great rifle. What warranty do FX offer on them as I'm concerned there's a lot to go wrong..... Many seals!
Hi Matt, finally got my Maverick Sniper in .22. Did not change the factory settings. Its the newest model with the slug and pellet transferport in one and sadly with he new plastic cheek piece with all the magazine problems. Fixed that myself and did contact the dealer about it. Did not change the gun but modified some off my magazines. On hammer setting 5 it does 216 shots at around 267 mtr 50J with the H&N 21 gr 217. I do feel a slight puff of air when fired on the chin...so I might do the 2 hour ride to the dealer for having them checking that out.
That looks like a fantastic setup. Hopefully FX bring a Wildcat MkIV with a Wildcat style stock that will accommodate the carbon bottles and duel regulator to market soon.
The tins I have were all bad batches (not very concentric or consistent) and the 16gr I had were from a very good batch. So I used the pellets that I thought would give me best results.
I bought the Sniper .30 fantastic rifle, very easy tuning and repeatable , consistent from tune to tune. What I would like to know? : It shoots ZAN 54,63, 68gr. accurately on my HADES tune. Would it make sense to set it up maximum to shoot the 68gr. and use the power wheel to pull power away to shoot the HADES and FX Hybrid slugs. What would be the disadvantages. I realize there is no free lunch and will sacrifice some precision. Thanks
I was about to order another impact compact yesterday (my 1st had regulator issues) and they sold out 7 while I was online shopping, lol. Now seeing this, I'll just wait until they upgrade the Impact compact to MK3. I'M WAITING FOR IMPACT WITH 89CC POWER PLENUM & DUAL REGULATOR'S
Thanks for a great video reveal, just one wee correction, @14:25 you call it a Compact Impact, this is even better (lighter and cheaper) - a compact Maverick!! 😍 Thanks for helping show us what a Maverick can do, this rifle looks amazing! Cheers. Russ
Hi Matt: Sometime could you discuss the reason a longer barrel produces more velocity . With firearms it's obvious ,but with air guns it would seem once the air volume of the plenum approaches the barrel volume the pressure would gradually decrease to the point pellet drag would decrease velocity. Are plenum volumes that large that they come close to barrel volumes?
Firearms work with pressure "expanding gas" as do airguns. So it's still the same concept. Pressure is pressure no matter how you generate it. The expanding gas or air has more time to push the pellet in a long barrel. It has nowhere to escape but the front so volume doesn't matter with most modern airguns even with small plenums put out more than enough air you will never see a barrel long enough to reach its limits. The only time it comes into play is with spring pistons or gas pistons as they compress air to 3000 psi in a millisecond which just the right length is important. long barrels don't improve accuracy as once the pellet leaves the barrel it's just a ballistic missile on its own. Barrels don't control pellets like dog trainers control dogs.
Matt you really need to talk with FX and see when they are going to make a helium version of their PCP air rifle line the power difference is night and day, with smaller calibers it would probably extend the range to nearly 400m and up the foot pounds by probably a hundred foot pounds or more.
Being in Australia what sort of after market support is offered if something does go wrong ? Looks awesome and very keen but with al the extra components to build can only assume there is more to possibly go wrong ?
I just order the VP in .30 cal. Base on your experience what regulator pressure do you think is the best. I want power but at the same time shot counts and accuracy. A combination of everything. This will be my first FX. Thank you.
Thanks for the good review. I noticed the shot string velocity was bouncing up an down a lot fro shot to shot. Kinda defeats the idea of dual regulators. But I’m sure it just needs a little more tuning, which you mention. So when can we expect a follow up with that tuning and less wind? I’m looking forward to it already!
Nice presentation. This has so much potential!!! The Ted glasses increase your cool factor exponentially. Also once again, congrats on the lucky lady! Looking forward to your future vids.
Hey Matt, at around 15:00 you say that you would prefer the 700mm barrel and 580cc bottle version (I believe it's called the Sniper) for heavier pellets or slugs. I am currently thinking about buying the Maverick. I won't hunt with it, as it is not allowed where I live. It will be purely for recreational shooting to around 60m, so there would be no need to go with a high power setup or even slugs. I was thinking of getting a .22 and running it around 40joule/30ft/lbs, which is around what most standard air guns in .22 seem to produce. I currently own a dreamline in 4.5mm and 7.62mm. I'd like a bit larger caliber, but the 7.62 in the dreamline is just a pain because you only get around 30 shots per fill. I love the design of the Maverick and also the efficiency. With a moderate power setup, I could easily get 100's of shots per fill and still have a reasonably flat trajectory and decent speed with a standard weight pellet. Would you say though, that the Maverick might not be the best air gun for me? I suppose it is meant to be more of a high performance gun. I know this video is 3yrs old, so if anyone else maybe wants to chime in instead of Matt himself, any input and recommendations are welcome! :) Maybe even a rough tuning setup for standard JSB .22 pellets as far as reg pressure is concerned. Should I go with the compact over the sniper? The idea was that the sniper version has a much bigger tank and also better efficiency with the longer barrel. I almost exclusively shoot from a bench, so mobility or weight is no concern.
Math , nice and very informative , why is it that FX did not think to do maverick for left handed shoothers ? Are FX so insensitive not to think that there are left shooters out there ? Please if you can ask the management of the FX factory to maybe do some modification for lefties . There are a lot of left handed people that would be vry gratefull . Thanks in advance and keep up the good work . You and Ted Biers are the guys that inspired me to pick up airguning in the first place.
Great review Matt. I have the Crown Continiuum in .22 and .25. Like it very much. Got the Wildcat MK3 Sniper in .22. Love it. Shoots realy well at 100 mtr at 50J. And now the Maverick.....
Sure！ It is much cheaper than FX Impact, but in cost of the advantage of Bullpup-total length. So the highlight of this tiny monster is the shot count because of the bottle and the other I think it should be the powder potential due to the large integrated plenum. Whatever it looks not bad!
Just got approved for my pre-order I just can’t decide whether to go sniper or compact in .30 I mainly want to keep the length down but I also want the most power. Decisions!...
Fantastic instructive video made in Matt, I'm excited, I have a Maverick Sniper cal .22 for about 3 weeks at home, preparing it for the first shot as soon as the weather is better. It is clear that you used PW2 for JBS 16grains, PW3 for 22 grains FX Hybrid slugs. What was the PW setting for other projectiles? Did you use the same Power Wheel setting when shooting at 50 and 100m?
I doubt that I will get a reply being that your life is so busy but here goes. I like the MK3 Wildcat and I like the Maverick. I do pest control for my county and farmers. I need the adjustable nature of these two guns due to situations and they both have that. The Mavericks dual regs are intriguing to say the least but still…light, short, maneuverability, super accurate, .22 cal FAC… affordable. Which would you suggest?
Good explain Brother. Very interesting air gun. I got a feeling you still prefer FX Impact more than FX maverick ? But from your explained I'm like both of them. Thanks you so much for your video clips that give a lot of knowledge.
Just bought my first FX Impact MK 2 and loved upgrading and tuning it to my choice, now this little beauty is top of my Xmas list 😍 Wonder when it’s released in the UK 👍🏽
The FX hybrids have always been more stable for me at or above 970 fps. the higher 990 fps the better they grouped at 100+ yards. But still, the versatility of the Maverick is rad! I want one, Going to get one from Utahair guns with FDE cerakote. They also have the slug power kit which should make it more of a beast. We need an update video MATTHEW!!!
Hello, as usual...great video with planty of explanations and descriptions...following you from the other side of Africa...Algeria :) We will not tell TED you took his Sunglasses LOL Thanks and good luck for whats net :)
I'd love to see what FX could do as far as putting out a entry level gun like a $500 gun, I think it would be great for their business because once you hook a loyal customer a lot of times you can keep them for life,as far as a gun maybe something like the Avenger but with a little bit better stock a little bit better trigger and it doesn't have to be an impact level trigger just not plastic ,a real metal cocking lever simple things like that, it would get their name out there more also, I'm not saying sell it at Walmart LOL, but I'm sure they're going to Depot or pyramid hair would be delighted to have something with the FX name on it that they could sell in the $500 range
Hi Matt, just wanna say I love your videos they're absolutely amazing 😍 I just wanted to ask if ist possible for you to start ading prices on products and what they wil cost for us South-Africans please
Hi Matt i.m Brian from South Africa i been loving the maverick since i.m a beginner with fx air guns but for power and reliability fx for me is a a top of the pack especially now that slugs are becoming people,s number 1 ammunition because of ballistics and how much would an maverick. 22 with 800mm barrel two 580cc 300 bar bottles and sum performance upgrades for slugs coz i only shoot long range shoots so slugs are my best ammunition to shoot

finaly, FX has found multiple regulators work better to step down pressure.
At my work (laboratory) for 1 analysis we have 3 regs in series to step down the delivered 200bar N2 cylinders to eventually ~30bar. 1st step does roughly to 50bar and then the last 2 regs do the precise work. as slight increase in pressure can have massive effect on some analysis we do.

Over all which is better FX impact or FX maverick matt?
Great review, well appreciated!
If I understood correctly, are the barrel caliber change kits for the Maverick interchangeable/compatible with the FX Impact?
Wait so a budget impact? Isn't that just the dreamline? Also how is 1600 budget?
I'm assuming this gun doesn't have as many orings as the Impact. Hopefully it won't be as prone to leaking.
That looks like it could be a game changer for sure.

Hey Matt, at around 15:00 you say that you would prefer the 700mm barrel and 580cc bottle version (I believe it's called the Sniper) for heavier pellets or slugs.
I am currently thinking about buying the Maverick. I won't hunt with it, as it is not allowed where I live. It will be purely for recreational shooting to around 60m, so there would be no need to go with a high power setup or even slugs.
I was thinking of getting a .22 and running it around 40joule/30ft/lbs, which is around what most standard air guns in .22 seem to produce.
I currently own a dreamline in 4.5mm and 7.62mm. I'd like a bit larger caliber, but the 7.62 in the dreamline is just a pain because you only get around 30 shots per fill.
I love the design of the Maverick and also the efficiency. With a moderate power setup, I could easily get 100's of shots per fill and still have a reasonably flat trajectory and decent speed with a standard weight pellet.
Would you say though, that the Maverick might not be the best air gun for me? I suppose it is meant to be more of a high performance gun.
I know this video is 3yrs old, so if anyone else maybe wants to chime in instead of Matt himself, any input and recommendations are welcome! :)
Maybe even a rough tuning setup for standard JSB .22 pellets as far as reg pressure is concerned.
Should I go with the compact over the sniper? The idea was that the sniper version has a much bigger tank and also better efficiency with the longer barrel.
I almost exclusively shoot from a bench, so mobility or weight is no concern.
Matt that’s really good shooting for a windy afternoon
Another hit right out of the park! Great video Matt:-) Cheers.
Looks like a Maverick will be competing with my Impact . Thanks for the rundown Matt .
what an amazing review. Thank you so much!
Hi. Great video, thanks for the presentación. It is a beautiful airgun, greetings from Chile.
Love you Matt. Great video as always. I am sold. The shot count got me👍🏼👍🏼🤙🏽🤙🏽🍍🍍
Me gusta el FX Mavericks pero con el cañón más largo
Math , nice and very informative , why is it that FX did not think to do maverick for left handed shoothers ?
Are FX so insensitive not to think that there are left shooters out there ? Please if you can ask the management of the FX factory to maybe do some modification for lefties . There are a lot of left handed people that would be vry gratefull . Thanks in advance and keep up the good work . You and Ted Biers are the guys that inspired me to pick up airguning in the first place.
ANOTHER lefty
...AND, ANOTHER LEFTY!! I like the Maverick, but NOT a customer if I cannot do a 'switch-over' of the cocking lever! What a darn SHAME, FX!!
Looks great. Not soo affordable. But money pays for quality 👍
Great review Matt. I have the Crown Continiuum in .22 and .25. Like it very much. Got the Wildcat MK3 Sniper in .22. Love it. Shoots realy well at 100 mtr at 50J. And now the Maverick.....
You convinced me to buy one!
Aloha from Hawaii!!! Excellent review and assessment of the FX Maverick!!!!
Do you know when the new impact 3 is coming out ?
Great video Matt. Really considering one of these in U.K. FAC sniper version I reckon.
Sure！ It is much cheaper than FX Impact, but in cost of the advantage of Bullpup-total length. So the highlight of this tiny monster is the shot count because of the bottle and the other I think it should be the powder potential due to the large integrated plenum. Whatever it looks not bad!
Just got approved for my pre-order I just can’t decide whether to go sniper or compact in .30
I mainly want to keep the length down but I also want the most power. Decisions!...
Beautiful airgun bro... Nice
if only getting one gun, Maverick or impact?
Fantastic instructive video made in Matt,
I'm excited, I have a Maverick Sniper cal .22 for about 3 weeks at home, preparing it for the first shot as soon as the weather is better.
It is clear that you used PW2 for JBS 16grains, PW3 for 22 grains FX Hybrid slugs.
What was the PW setting for other projectiles?
Did you use the same Power Wheel setting when shooting at 50 and 100m?
I doubt that I will get a reply being that your life is so busy but here goes. I like the MK3 Wildcat and I like the Maverick. I do pest control for my county and farmers. I need the adjustable nature of these two guns due to situations and they both have that. The Mavericks dual regs are intriguing to say the least but still…light, short, maneuverability, super accurate, .22 cal FAC… affordable. Which would you suggest?
Great review mate. I just ordered one in 22 cheers
Good explain Brother. Very interesting air gun. I got a feeling you still prefer FX Impact more than FX maverick ? But from your explained I'm like both of them. Thanks you so much for your video clips that give a lot of knowledge.
I'm definitely buying the Maverick VP 💖LOVE IT CAN'T WAIT!
Excellent in-depth review as always Matt. My best regards.
what an amazing job you did explaining everything in this video matt.
Just bought my first FX Impact MK 2 and loved upgrading and tuning it to my choice, now this little beauty is top of my Xmas list 😍
Wonder when it’s released in the UK 👍🏽
Saw one in my local gunshop two weeks ago, seems wierd to get it in sub12ftlb in my opinion but yeah, felt good.
@@d4ngru5h83 totally agree, I’ve got it upto 50ft/lb and it’s slug on slug 100yrds all day everyday, take the plunge my friend you won’t regret it 🙌🏽
@@TMAdventuresT7 was actually at the shop buying an FX dreamline lite anyway haha, also a nice gun, lot lighter weight too
@@d4ngru5h83 excellent choice , cannot go wrong with the FX range, all the best Mac 🍻
The FX hybrids have always been more stable for me at or above 970 fps. the higher 990 fps the better they grouped at 100+ yards. But still, the versatility of the Maverick is rad! I want one, Going to get one from Utahair guns with FDE cerakote. They also have the slug power kit which should make it more of a beast. We need an update video MATTHEW!!!
Hello, as usual...great video with planty of explanations and descriptions...following you from the other side of Africa...Algeria :)
We will not tell TED you took his Sunglasses LOL
Thanks and good luck for whats net :)
I'd love to see what FX could do as far as putting out a entry level gun like a $500 gun,
I think it would be great for their business because once you hook a loyal customer a lot of times you can keep them for life,as far as a gun maybe something like the Avenger but with a little bit better stock a little bit better trigger and it doesn't have to be an impact level trigger just not plastic ,a real metal cocking lever simple things like that, it would get their name out there more also, I'm not saying sell it at Walmart LOL, but I'm sure they're going to Depot or pyramid hair would be delighted to have something with the FX name on it that they could sell in the $500 range
Hi Matt, just wanna say I love your videos they're absolutely amazing 😍
I just wanted to ask if ist possible for you to start ading prices on products and what they wil cost for us South-Africans please
Thats insane matt 😳 👏 🙌 😍 😭 now I have to save up for one wow awesome stuff thanks for sharing bsafe
Hi Matt i.m Brian from South Africa i been loving the maverick since i.m a beginner with fx air guns but for power and reliability fx for me is a a top of the pack especially now that slugs are becoming people,s number 1 ammunition because of ballistics and how much would an maverick. 22 with 800mm barrel two 580cc 300 bar bottles and sum performance upgrades for slugs coz i only shoot long range shoots so slugs are my best ammunition to shoot
When you are shooting in that much wind. Why not change the direction you shoot? Can you line up with the wind direction.
the rifle is very good, I would like to have a rifle like that, good luck
Great presentation
