Excellent review as usual, lovely looking rifle.

[@jaytee8188]

Congrats on the new rifle. We’re all different and the Vixen wouldn’t be my choice, I do like the Vulcan and Uragan though and I’ve heard impressive comments about those CZ barrels. Even if this one isn’t for me your review was so well done and put together I was very impressed, well done Rich.

[@williamwilson2624]

Thanks for another great review. That looks like a super nice rifle.

[@lefizz55]

Been looking at these over here in Spain. A little bit cheaper and we get 24 joules non FAC. Unfortunately renovating my house means a purchase will probably be a few years off but if I had the dosh today this is what I would buy. I like the looks and the weight and AGT guns look stunningly well made.

[@mcyclecollector3226]

Snap just bought one a few weeks ago in Fac excellent Rifle Looking forward to you using it in the field. Great videos as usual.

[@chrishigginsdrums]

Taste is in the eye of the beholder. I'm new to high quality air guns, so I'm no expert. I bought the Vixen 177 Short. I love it. It's accurate and quiet, if you need to pest control without alarming the neighbors. I'm a sucker for cans and this one has the most obvious can out there. Great review, one of the best I've ever seen.

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Thanks very much Chris, and thanks for watching.

[@justingreen9262]

Excellent review Richard.I really love the AGTs.The Vulcan 3 would be my choice.But that vixen looked lovely with the chunky shroud.Brilliant quality guns. Many thanks and Atvb.👍🏻👍🏻😀

[@georgegandara6054]

Very informative review,well explained, and clear ......planning to get one of those in the long version in 22 cal regards from a new subscriber from Chile.

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Thanks very much George. I too have the Long version - great rifle!

[@terencewilson3200]

Brilliant reviews again Richard at the back of the long shroud you can put a 2” washer at the back with a 16 mill hole and that stops it moving & loosing its inaccuracy when resting it on anything & also if you need to silence it you can go an Eagle Vision silencer adapter for the front I have put one on mine so easy to fit

[@robertclarke7274]

A very nice well made rifle well worth the price

[@jbhk7977]

I think the Vixen looks awesome, but I get a little "restless" when I look at the 3 small M4 screws. They hold on the back piece where the manometer sits and the bottle screws on. There's a whopping 300 bar pushing on those 3 "tiny" screws.

[@noodles8638]

Fantastic rifles.

[@steveplows9996]

Hi, I have the Vixen long (sub 12) & can't fault it tbh 'Vector Air' do an aftermarket fill port plug and yeah I did buy the mag holder too

[@albertsmith1048]

Swapped my side lever over the other day, easy as stated.

[@J0b0baggins]

you could always pop a foam ear plug in the filler port,squash it down and it should expand to fill the gap,might not look pretty but cheap and effective,and they come in pairs (obviously) so you'll have a spare should you lose the one you use

[@pliashmuldba]

I shoot 70 - 100 M with my .177 FAC Vulcan 3, using 13gr slugs of course, shoot just as well as my Maverick with a 200 mm longer barrel.

doing a good job

[@The-Ratbasher]

I enjojed that Richard. A couple of quick questions. Can you fit a higher capacity bottle, and how do you fit a sling to the rifle ?.

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Hi. I'm glad you found it interesting and thanks for watching. I'm sure you would be able to fit a bigger capacity bottle - The Rat Works offer a tuning service for the AGT Vixen so they might be able to help. Bear in mind though that the bottle is also the stock so fitting a longer bottle will alter the length of pull and overall balance. I'm sure there's a sling mounting method too but I'd need to look at my rifle to be sure and I'm on my hols at the moment! Again, it might be something The Ratworks can help with. ATB, Rich.

[@The-Ratbasher]

Cheers Rich', and enjoy your jollibobs. 🙂

[@Qwcgvv]

A long term test & review would be appreciated,was considering getting one at one point but I've heard a few concerns about the vixen for me to keep hold of my money for a little bit longer

@@alphamilitaria2756 hi there! Love your channel. I’m new to air rifle shooting so learning a lot thanks. How have you got on with the Vixen? Any issues? I’m very keen on buying one, would appreciate your opinion now you’ve had it a while. Thanks for your time

[@jonathanlee8942]

Hello Richard,great review I'm going to the British shooting show but can't decide weather to buy the vixen sub 12 or s510 ultimate sporter,what would you say is the best out of the two I'm after. I would like to wish you and your family a happy new year.

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Hi Jonathan. Thanks very much and a happy new year to you too. The Vixen and S510 are both excellent rifles, but very different - one being light, compact and tactical and the other a traditional sporter style (unless you go for the S510T of course). They are both regulated and very accurate. Things to consider with the Vixen are that it is left-hand cocking and although it is possible to fit a silencer it's a bit of a faff. The huge shroud does make it pretty quiet without a silencer. The S510 will serve up fewer shots, although still well over 100 to a fill. The Vixen is a lot shorter and much lighter too. As I've said before, there's no wrong decision between two great rifles. If you can, try and pick them both up and see which one feels better for you. I don't own an S510, but have shot plenty of them and they are very impressive. I do have a Vixen (the Long model) and I absolutely love it. Sorry I can't be more helpful. All the best, Rich.

[@jonathanlee8942]

@Alpha Militaria hi Richard thanks for the reply, I'm going too the bec shooting show so will take a look and hopefully be able to make my mind up. I've just got too keep the wife away so she doesn't see how much iam spending. Look forward too more reviews from you in the new year all the best.

[@MrGrabowsky69]

Can you double load this gun?

[@terencewilson3200]

Hi Richard I wandered if you could give me your expert advice please I have the vixen short & thinking of exchanging it for the Reximex Myth which of the two would you prefer do you think I am doing the right thing thank you

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Hi Terence. The Myth is a great rifle, especially for the price, but I'd stick with the Vixen if it was me...Or, better still, keep the Vixen and buy a Myth 😂

[@MudMaxMetalDetecting]

Looks great. I can never get my headaround resting on a butt/bottle combo but I am sure they're a lot sturdier than they look to me. ATB MMMD

[@MrRockstar1968]

Was expecting it to be a bit quieter given the size of the shroud it has. Are you able to detach the bottles whilst they are full for packing away and and then reattach them when wanting to use the rifle?

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Hi Stephen. I don't believe so...My rifle is a 30 ft/lbs FAC. Not sure how loud the 12 ft/lbs rifle is. Eagle Vision market an adapter for a silencer. But I like mine the way it is!

[@facatube]

The same scope and gun is the one I'm going to get please let me know height scope mount you set up thanks

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Hi. I think they were medium mounts, from Sportsmatch. If you go to their website - sportsmatch-uk.com they have an excellent guide to help you choose the right mounts for your scope.

[@user-dr3sc6kl1i]

Hi ,can you or any one tell me if you need to loosen the but before filling the bottle with air .I been told they can break when filling as the bottle expands .

[@alphamilitaria2756]

I'm not sure who has told you that. It's nonsense. Just insert the probe and fill as usual. I go to 250 bar.

I watched multiple reviews and seems no one adressed the main point of this product - silencer. How loud it would be without one?

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Hi Andrius. The rifle used in the video is not fitted with a silencer so hopefully that gives you an idea of the sound level. I don't know how else I can tell you other than inviting you to listen for yourself.

[@AndriusKamarauskas]

​@@alphamilitaria2756 quite reputable channel of "AAR - Andy’s Airgun Reviews" ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGacf4eBh8uDidE) states that this is indeed a silcencer and he managed to tag few pests without alerting others. it's quite bold statement which i'm unable to confirm or deny.😕 Would you have time/interest to shoot from Vixen and any other similar power/caliber pcp to compare the apparent sound signature?🤔

@@scinner28 Hi Bas. If we're being honest with each other, I don't know what rifle an Origin .22 is. Do you mean an Original model 22 (which I don't believe has ever been made)? Or perhaps you mean an Original rifle in .22 calibre. If you do mean a rifle made by Original, then it would be a springer, and an old one at that. If that is the case then I simply do not believe you can hit one hole groups at 30 or 50 metres with anything more than one pellet.

[@alphamilitaria2756]

Hi Gary. What pressure is your dive bottle showing? Always best to fill according to the gauge on the tank rather than the gauge on the rifle as it will always be more accurate. The Goldstar pellets are 5.53 so yes, they may need a poke to seat. 5.52 works just fine. And some rifles do make a noise when you fill them. As long as no air is escaping (I did have to rotate the probe a tiny bit a couple of times) then you should be good...
