AGT VIXEN - what's it really like to own

[@michaelholt7963]

I personally put my mags in a little bag in my pocket I work on a farm and on a sunny day the dust you can see in the rays is crazy and will soon find its way into the mags. That holder looks very childish it's as though your playing army games with a plastic machine gun, I've had a hold of one of these guns it felt amazing just the handle let it down but see you've sorted that issue out. My hw 100 is starting to get on my tits now, cracking gun but to bloody heavy may trade in against a vixon. Good show thanks

[@karlmaddox1209]

I own a hw100k and I bought a vixen for exactly the reason you stated...the weight. I love my hw100 but when I'm hiking around my permission that weight takes its toll. The vixen so far has been a revelation. So light and it just feels right. Just my opinion of course but I'd definitely recommend it

Can’t say a better word about the AGT vixen brilliant air rifle i also have the fat boy fitted . enjoy your content keep them coming 🫡

[@huntingwithairguns92]

Thankyou buddy really appreciate that 👍👍

[@lindsayheyes925]

This is hilarious. Your Vixen is like the ship of Theseus. It was preserved in Troezen for centuries, so it needed so much loving maintenance that the philosophers of Athens argued about whether any part of it had been used by Theseus. If you still own the Vixen in ten years, at your current mod rate, only the barrel will be OEM... or will it? A very entertaining and informative video. Don't let me curb your enthusiasm in any way, you've got a like from me.

Well presented video mate well done have subbed I Love what youve done with that Vixen as well you got me thinking to have a deeper look I Just recieved a GK1 in 25 so will have to keep it from the wife If I get one to be on the safe side :) Look forward to watching more of your content soon 👍

[@huntingwithairguns92]

Thank you mate really appreciate your comments and thank you for subscribing i hope you enjoy future videos 😀

[@karlmaddox1209]

I bought a .177 vixen a couple of days ago. I was actually going to look at another rifle at the gunshop, an airmaks katran, but i happened to handle the vixen while i was there and I was sold. After a brief pellet test it seems to like jsb heavies and jsb express but im looking forward to more testing. Love it.

[@huntingwithairguns92]

Great guns mate give zan 10g slugs a try if using for pest control i wont go back to pellets now 👍 thanks for watching buddy 👍😀

[@karlmaddox1209]

@@huntingwithairguns92 aah OK. Thanks for the heads up. I'll give the zans a try.

[@karlmaddox1209]

@@huntingwithairguns92 I've not got around to trying the zans yet but could I ask if you get any noticeable power drop using them? I'm no power merchant. I'd happily use 10.5ftlbs if they were laser accurate. I was just curious. I'm guessing no or you wouldn't use them yourself

[@huntingwithairguns92]

​@@karlmaddox1209hi mate mine is shooting roughly 10.5 flb at around 680fps but the power the slugs keep at distance is a lot better than pellets i cant ever see me using anything else for vermin control from now on thanks for watching buddy

[@karlmaddox1209]

Ah OK thanks. I'll get some ordered then. I'll take the accuracy and energy retention over a 30fps velocity drop every time

[@richardleonard1487]

Great shots on the rabbits. What pellets were you using pal? I’m guessing Streamlined 9.56. Or JSB Heavies. Thanks. Ricardo.

[@huntingwithairguns92]

Thanks mate Zan 10g slugs bud

[@bertpoppy94]

It's a bit like Triggers brush from only fools and horses. new regulator .new barrel shroud .pistol grip . Cocking lever.metal hand guard. Rail.magazine holder.😅😅

[@memememe2674]

I agree with what you say here about the vixen, I have the 177 long. Mine also likes bara 8,,s and qys streamline heavies best. Will get a form grip when funds allow. Can I ask what trigger lock that is? Looks a perfect fit. With qys I got 0 deviation with 16 shots, with 3 mags I got 0.1 dev. Forums are saying the fx pocket chrono I have is no good. Funny because it gives varying results for my HW95 and r10!

[@huntingwithairguns92]

Hi mate the trigger lock is a jack pyke one off amazon and as for the chronograph i use the fx one as well 🤔🤔

[@memememe2674]

​@@huntingwithairguns92in case I was not clear, they poo poo the fx chrono when I say how good the agt is BUT it does not give the same close results for the HW95 and r10, so the chrono can not be that bad.

brilliant review, great looking rifle, is this the short or long version, cant tell with the Donny on the end? cheers

[@huntingwithairguns92]

Thankyou mate its the short buddy 👍👍

[@Phunkitup]

Awesome looking rifle. I got one myself FAC in .22. No power limits here. Does the huma reg also increase the power output? Also, like to know where you got budstock and aluminium rail from? Could you share the link? Keep it up, great channel. Looking forward to seeing more. A subscriber

[@huntingwithairguns92]

Thankyou for your comments mate you can get a FAC huma reg which actually goes higher the aluminium hand guard was from vector-air.co.uk buddy so glad you are enjoying the vids 😀👍

[@crazycressy7986]

Thank you cant wait to get mine ,apart from the rail being plastic. Is there any reason to change it? I've been getting feedback about it upsetting the POI shooting off hand ? But I've also been told the plastic one does not move ?

[@huntingwithairguns92]

The plastic one is ok tbh i solved the poi shift by putting a small black washer behind the shroud and action i mentioned it in my first vixen review buddy

You need the pro mount to fit the pard 008s bud and a riser block otherwise you need to remove the front lense cap like i had 2 have a look on airgun101shop.co.uk thats where i got it from bud

[@zebedee4]

Great vid. Don't get why you've only had the gun not even 6 months and spent £90+ to change Reg when it's under warranty and you've probably voided the warranty???

[@huntingwithairguns92]

Thanks for your reply i never use the warranty and wanted to fit a huma reg and not another agt one i like to tune and tinker myself thats why i went for the huma reg and 90% off the things that will ever go wrong with a rifle i can probably sort my self 👍

[@zebedee4]

Unfortunately bud, your not really giving an accurate review of this rifle. You keep saying it's absolutely brilliant, so accurate, so reliable etc etc yet you've had to replace/change one of the most important, vital parts of a regulated air rifle. Someone less able than your good self could of had a mini nightmare trying to get this sorted. If you've had to replace the regulator and modify the gun to take a silencer because they are renowned for being quite loud, is it really that good at £1200-£1300.???😮 AGT IMHO should be ashamed of turning out a gun with a massive shroud on it that's about as much use as a chocolate teapot.

[@huntingwithairguns92]

@@zebedee4 not really a untrue review pal the gun is really accurate yes i had to change the regulator and add a silencer which you have to do with most rifles 🤷‍♂️ i also owned a fx impact which cost me £1800 and the reg faild does that make it any less of a gun? To say it is not a honest review is a bit unfair i spoke the truth the gun is one of the most accurate i have owned thats why i said what i did sorry it wasn't up to your standards 👍

[@zebedee4]

Didn't say it was an untrue review, said it wasn't really accurate. Big difference! I'm not calling you a liar bud, far from it. It's refreshing someone giving an honest review on what they've done to get the rifle shooting how they expect and want it to. As for FX we all know as you probably do that FX was renowned for issues when the Impact first appeared. Indeed many of the rifles that FX bring out seem to have issues at first as do SOME but not all other manufacturers. As regards your comment regarding silencer's, yes especially PCP rifles need Silencers but most manufacturers include a thread on the end for fitting them unlike the Vixen. Most reviewers would probably agree if out of the box that they'd had to fit a new, different type of regulator to the gun and rely on another company to come up with a way of even fitting a silencer that gun would probably get a few black mark's against it.😊 Enjoy your Vixen or what's left of the original gun😊👍

@@huntingwithairguns92 thought so, i got one fitted to my hw100 with the pard 008p, and plan on getting the zulus to replace the pard, did you use the screws that come with the zulus mount to fit yours 👍

@@davidr4310 am not 100% sure if you need the zb mount that fits the pard s mate thats the one that i got told to buy i would also recommend getting the riser block to lift the scope up of the mount a bit i had to remove the scope cap to fit i had to use different bolts because the zulus ones are to long but with the riser block they might fit hope this helps buddy 😉
