PCP What do ya think of this rifle?

[BBGunn]

I know..., it's another budget-class air rifle but it will likely be affordable for many of us.

I'm not usually fond of bottle rifles but I kinda like the lines on this one.

That video showed some good power hits on the targets. I didn't watch enough to see if he showed what the rifle is producing but it looks descent and has a regulator. The wood design looks comfortable.

Did you find a price range and or specs?

No I haven't. In fact, I haven't found it available here in the States any place. Hmmm???

Don't know what the availability is but it apparently was introduced at a shot show in 2024. At that time, the price was anticipated to be in the $700 range.

It looks like a take on the FX King, it even has FXR on the side of the block, bad form, but a cool looking rifle. I like that the stock isn't as heavy and blocky as the GRS stock. It sure sounds loud on the video, if the shroud wasn't for show and was supposed to be doing something, it failed.

What I think about it, is that it's vaporware to me. If you are comfortable with a one-off foreign product buy, and prepaired to do all your own support work, then go for it. That would actually be a fun hobby in and of itself. It could also get aggravating really quick too. When I first got my P15 I had to order parts from "Julie" in China, it was an awkward process to say the least. Don't spend the money or the time on it if you can't afford to lose both, because it's a real possibility. It could be a ball too, you just can't know until you try.

"Julie in China"! Not sure why, but that cracked me up!

Looks like FXR is an airgun distribution company. The company imports numerous brands, including JTS. I would guess if JTS decides to make the Shawlawk available in the US it would not have that FXR logo.

People on the forums were joking that "Julie" was just a codename they used for customer support and that seems to have been the case. Besides the time it took, it did work. I really like SPA products, generally speaking.

That's funny
My employer has facilities around the world, including China. All of the folks at the China site have adopted an "American" first name that they use in all correspondence with us. For whatever reason, "Julie" is remarkably popular amongst the ladies!
