monsoon or revolution
I would like a 25.cal semi, but i think a 22. is more practical . can i get some feedback from some of you who have them or have shot a semi auto? thanks…

I’m not certain I’ve ever seen a .25 caliber semi-auto offered by anyone.
The .25 caliber phenomenon is a fairly recent event, just the past couple of years, so the better air rifles in .25 have only recently begun to make a significant market appearance.
Might take awhile before you can get your hands on one.
Also, I noticed last night that Cometa picked up a U.S. distributor but I failed to make note of who it was. They might have something to offer. I’ll check back to see if I can find who it was and what they have in stock.
Meanwhile, remember it’s a good man that, under pressure, can keep his eye focused on the front sight! I don’t know that it means much now with ACOG…ACLOG…whatever!
UPDATE: Here’s the address for the Cometa guy…http://www.straightshooters.com/cometa.html
Here’s a really detailed performance chart on the Cometa performance with various pellets…extremely informative! http://www.straightshooters.com/cometa-lynx-v10-.22.html
Nice looking rifle, except it’s a single shot. But then, so’s an Edgun. I do like the fully floating barrel.

Own both a FX Revolution and a Monsoon
both of course are .22
both of mine run Extremely well with an edge to the Revolution
the problem is both rifles are designed to only run pellets in the 15 grain range
you start using heavy pellets and that carefully balanced action will go into failure mode
another HUGE issue is folks trying to adjust the trigger
if it fuctions well leave the adjustments alone
same is true with most high end semi auto AGs
the FWB C5 has a bad rap and all of it is due to assclowns trying to crank of the velocity from the factory settings
if you have large hands the synthetic Monsoon stocks thumbhole is a bit cramped
featurewise the Revolution comes threaded 1/2×20, the Monsoon does not
The Revolution comes with a gauge, the Monsoon does not however you can have one fitted
The Revolution has a much better shot count due to being a tanker, the Monsoon is a tube gun but FX does offer an extension
both rifles use typical FX probes to fill
My friend has a monsoon…
In the beginning the accuracy was not good.. Not good at all..
Now, he wanted to compete with me in 100m competition and all laughed with him, because his first time he was.. last.. 🙂
But then we started looking at the gun, we build a single shot tray for it, bought a regulator and set it at 170 bar and tried to get the trigger a bit lighter and tadaaaa.. he was 8th at the next competition.
Now, last week, he came to my shootingrange and.. He shot better then me.. ok, I was not that good last week, but he shot almost 1″ groups at 100m (109 yards) and that is…. CRAZY!!!
but if you want this accuracy, forget the magazine 🙂 and semi 🙂
I had a Sweet 16 back when, Logun that is
The thing was a tank, heavy as hell
had a built in LDC, shot pretty damn nice
If you het a semi, make sure to have lots of
ammo on hand, it goes away quick
SAW
Not really why they would have been built for 12 ft/lbs because semi-auto air rifles even under 12ft/lbs are such a grey area over here in the UK that they are pretty much classes as illegal.
I haven’t shot either however check out Ted’s Youtube channel where he looks over some semi auto airguns

And these videos of his
Well, I went shooting with mu buddy who had a semiauto FX…I think it was a Monsoon. It broke and wouldn’t function. Therefore, I didn’t get a chance to shoot it. 😥 Furthermore, an airgunsmith told me that FX has designed those guns to operate at the 12 ft/lb level. When they get dialed up for us crazy Americans, they don’t beef up the parts. Those parts break from the extra stress and strain that’s put on them. So, the guns break regularly…and FX doesn’t care. That’s the way it was explained to me. I find that explaination disappointing. Those guns are expensive and I wouldn’t be very happy with a broken FX. Supposedly it takes months to get parts from Sweeden.
Somebody else speak up and tell me I am full of shit. Those guns look like great fun. The Youtube videos are cool. However, if what I have been told is accurate, then it isn’t worth it in my book. Let us know what you find out.
so none of you guys have either of these guns?no one has any feedback?

thanks for the info,i will not be geting either one of these,i like to shoot long distances,and 15grs are not my choice for that,from what i found they dont shoot as accurate past 35-50yrds.
