Are they going to do this maverick in sub 12ft lb for UK Market if so when will it be in our shops and how much in pound sterling??

[@rudymsmith]

probably one of the BEST modern reviews of new airgun tech available. Great job!

[@kanarie93]

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

[@catherineharris4746]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@bertbccfu9564]

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

[@MORIDEUT]

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.

[@michaell397]

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

[@jerryking3208]

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.👍

[@sandyschupper8401]

Excellent Video thank you. I just got my maverick in 22 caliber a few days ago and so far I love it and I found your video very helpful

[@jonatham35]

I'm definitely taking your results with a gain of salt... Not because of the wind or anything, but because YOU were shooting and not ME! 😂😂

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

[@slowpokeairgunner4027]

That's an awesome little gun. I love it that they are making high quality guns more affordable, good stuff.

[@ariamaguila8549]

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.

[@khamishusain]

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

[@drmoss_ca]

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.

[@glenpaul3606]

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.

[@electronicdawg]

Does Ted know you have his sun glasses.

[@kc6kkn]

Now that Ted has to wear prescription glasses, I don’t think he’ll care all that much about those sunglasses.

[@indraaccuracy352]

Over all which is better FX impact or FX maverick matt?

[@andriessluiter4269]

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.

[@martolhunts1426]

I just brought the Helix EHR-1C. It should arrive tomorrow and I can't wait!

[@tomiliff7591]

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

[@waltradcliffe4482]

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.

[@cmac1100]

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

[@cdh3671]

@@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.

[@tomchowanski7704]

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.

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?

[@stevereese6488]

If you had the choice, would you pick 22, 25, or 30 cal ? Target practice to small game to pigeons.

Does it bring a case like the impact?

[@TechTrainerAbid]

impact m3 & maverick in these which is less maintenance & easy to repair if leaking air? i want to buy some one in these... what is your choice...? money is not problem if going to buying costly items.

[@heathhalfhill6867]

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?

[@yannicklmb1573]

Which would you choose? if u only can choose one? Impact or Maverick?

[@RareBreedMotorSports]

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

[@CrazyDanishViking]

Greate video, a little request, when you shoot the different pellets, could you show the can and pellet up in one of the corners of the screen?

[@scottmichael3745]

I like that idea!

[@artburhoe]

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

[@airshootist]

I've had mine for 5-6 months now and it is BY FAR the best, most accurate, Lambo of an airgun that I have ever owned!

[@jaadmaan8156]

Have you made any upgrades to it? Or is it great out the box? (After tuning)

[@airshootist]

@@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)

Hello Matt; you would tell me how much the first regulator is set and then the second I understood at 135 bars is that right?

[@vipseisun]

Matt, just got my Maverick, filled it to 225bar in the evening I got it, and the following morning it was already down to 190bar (no shots)... do I have a bad gun/ leaking gun?

[@deanflory4520]

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.!!!!!!!!°

Awesome to see you launch the Maverick! I’m definitely getting one

[@nobbyclark5093]

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 ?

Which is the best Suppressed for the Fx Maverick Sniper 700mm original/stock Donnyfl FX or Donnyfl Tanto ?

[@DJcampNfish]

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!...

[@tr4e279]

If I understood correctly, are the barrel caliber change kits for the Maverick interchangeable/compatible with the FX Impact?

[@finq0997]

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.

[@mrgp88]

Hello Mat en tahnk you for this good review ! So, what is the advantage to buy an Impact when I check the difference of price ???

[@Andrew-ut1yv]

I believe the things he mentioned are the trigger on the impact is better (watch at about 5:20 minutes in) since the linkage is at the trigger in the impact and near the rear of the maverick. True bullpup triggers (like the Maverick and Wildcat) have linkage (typically a long thin bar) connecting from the trigger to the back of the gun near the action, many feel this lessens the "crispness" of the trigger due to the extra parts. The Impact also has a transfer port adjustor and I don't believe that is available on the Maverick (or Wildcat). Take care, Andrew in AZ

[@travelly1]

Great review and I am very tempted to get one. What is the bipod on that gun please?

[@derrickmitchell39dm]

So, double regs will be the norm for up coming FX guns?

[@Barnsbergh]

I'll be looking out for a deal on the Maverick 700mm barrel in SA 😎 in. 22. Do you use the same barrel for pellets and slugs under 30gn?

[@MyBuster007]

Will they be making a left hand model ? Or will they do a left hand kit?

[@kevinoconnor164]

When you are shooting in that much wind. Why not change the direction you shoot? Can you line up with the wind direction.

[@midwestairgunner8500]

What was your second regulator set at and what was the hammer spring screw distance at for you to get that many shots? Mine is only getting 109 before it starts dropping off......

[@donaldlundy345]

Great video review Matt I have one of the Maverick VP 22 on order I can't wait to start shooting it and using it for hunting and pest control. Cheers

[@tonylor5534]

Hi Matt, I just got a .25 fx maverick so can I shoot it with slugs and pellets with the same barrel.

[@johandewet2588]

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.

[@andrewchapman4863]

Hi I what to get into the air rifle sport hunting. I'm thinking of buying the fx impact. Or should I get the fx maverick. It is a lot of money for a gun.

[@tonyklothos7093]

Thank you for another great video! Your reviews are detailed, and thorough! Does the original Impact not have the double regulator? I'm planning on buying an FX, but I'm split between the two. Than you!

[@swagonman]

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!

[@cmac1100]

This is quite cool. Hopefully we'll get a hunting video with the maverick soon! This video harkens back to the gun review days and I love it!

[@andychapman9687]

Great articulately well explained review, as always.

[@scubajeeper1]

I'm assuming this gun doesn't have as many orings as the Impact. Hopefully it won't be as prone to leaking.

[@aislerunner_605]

Hey Matt, do you have any advice on a Reg Settings for a Maverick Compact in .25 cal? I want it to be able to shoot 25.39 gr pellets on lower power setting and 26 gr Hybrid and 26.8 gr NSA slugs on a higher setting. I just purchased one recently and it is still on the tune from the shop (Utah Airguns). The test card says it shoots JSB 25.39 at 900 FPS at the shop (6,000 plus elevation). I chrono’d it at about 882FPS at home (at sea level in CA). 2nd Reg is at about 125 bar…I guess? (needle is in the middle of 100 and 150) Power wheel is at 7. I didn’t check the 1st Reg yet. It’s set at the shop. Assuming it’s about 30 bars higher. Thank you in advance for your input. As always, really enjoy your channel and content. Keep up the great work!🤙🏽

[@Igotknobblies]

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!

[@scottmichael3745]

Great question!! I want to know too!

[@deanflory4520]

They got a 5 year warranty, I just bought a 25 cal. Get a compressor too you'll need it over a 100 shots with 580 bottle and still had air left.

How adaptable is the Maverick for left-handed shooters?

[@marksun6247]

great video, do you know if you order a .22 or the .30 cal are the innards the same? does the .30 have more heavy or lighter springs and hammer weights?

[@FXAirguns]

Same internals for all calibers. There's a slug power kit for the Maverick for those wanting to push heavier projectiles. Consists of heavier hammer, slug pin probe, etc

[@inforgbay]

I could hardly tell the difference except for the hair and axcent.

[@MrRockstar1968]

Is there any video footage showing how to change the hammer spring and regulator pressure etc?

[@stevereese6488]

Do you only shoot down to the first stage regulator pressure or can you continue on to the final or second stage regulator pressure? In other words the first regulator set at 150 bar and second regulator set at 120 bar, can you shoot past the 150 bar until bottle pressure reaches 120 bar or do you stop at 150 bar?

[@qingyuhu]

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.

[@ultrakai1]

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.

[@ashleighpledger7088]
