The AirGun Technology AGT Vixen .177 cal PCP Air Rifle - Hawke Optics Vantage 1-4x20 Set-Up & Review

In this video PJ has mounted the Hawke Optics Vantage IR 1-4x20 scope with the "Turkey Dot" reticle and walks through the process of confirming the zero at multiple distances in anticipation of an iguana hunt.
In the process he shows groups at 15, 20, 25 and 30 yards, performs a trigger pull test and talks through the features...both pro's and cons.
If you haven't seen the first series on this pre-charged pneumatic airgun please be sure to check it out as some details about the tune vary from what you will find in a factory direct version. The tune on this one is getting about 40 fps above stock, and as a result the shot count is a bit lower than what the some retailers claim.

One thing not mentioned in the video is the airgun's overall weight. With the Hawke mounted, it's between 6-6.5 pounds on the postal scale. Very nice for walking around looking for Iguanas.
This video was filmed on a closed, private range with all applicable safety measures in place. The subject of the video is an air powered pellet rifle. No firearms are shown, displayed, fired or otherwise used in this video.

AGT is one of the best rifles made.

Hi, UK vixen owner here. I bought mine a few months back as I was finding my hw100k a little heavy and wanted something lighter so after handling the vixen I bought it. Absolutely love it. A couple of minor negatives. No fill port dust plug...come on agt. Easily rectified though via ebay so no big deal. The plastic handguard really should be metal of some sort but apart from those two things....superb. An interesting thing I found accidentally is that I initially fitted the lowest scope mounts I could using a 44mm objective lens scope but found the head placement uncomfortable so bought some high mounts which were much more comfortable for me but I found that this mounting height allowed me to aim dead on give or take a mm or 2 from 20-35 yards with a 25 yrd (peak trajectory) zero using jsb 8.44s sub 12ft/lbs. I'm guessing that this is due to the scope height giving a sightline down the trajectory of the pellet as it drops.

@@karlmaddox1209 I think you are right. I wish there were more in person retailers here in the US. This is one of those Airguns that is great once you get your hands on it.

@@WiscAirGunners definitely mate. Superb quality apart from the 2 issues I mentioned. The trigger is sublime as is the cocking action. Really solidly built. I don't even know how many shots I get cos I've never shot it down to empty but I would guess at 150ish maybe more. I use a hawke scope on mine too, in fact all my scopes are hawke. Never had a problem with any of them.

agreed!

How do the 10gr hades shoot/group in that gun with that tune? Those would cause extra damage on those iguanas.

[@WiscAirGunners]

@@cliffb.2416 I tried them, and they were not as accurate, and I didn’t have time to tweak the tune, so I stuck with the domes.

Do you guys import and sell AGT rifles ?

[@WiscAirGunners]

@@Light_357 no. Utah Airguns carries them.
