The new FX Leopard PCP air rifle is now in stock at Pyramyd AIR in many configurations.
HAM readers first learned about the Leopard in our report from the IWA OutdoorClassics show in Germany back in March.
In fact, the FX Leopard PCP air rifle is more of an airgun platform, rather than an individual model – there’s so many versions available!
The Leopard is available in two basic configurations – with “around the barrel” tube and – more conventional – bottle HPA supply. But the bottle version also incorporates the tube system, providing a maximum of up to 980cc of air capacity onboard.
Plus, there’s a 54 cc power plenum supporting the buttpad.
Of course, the FX Leopard is available in calibers from .177 to .30. Barrels are available in 500mm, 600 mm, and 700mm lengths. These numbers equate to 19.7 Inches, 23.6 Inches and 27,9 Inches respectively.
FX specifications show that maximum power levels start at 40 Ft/Lbs for the Compact (500 mm barrel) in .177. They extend to 123 Ft/Lbs Muzzle Energy for the .30 caliber model in “Sniper” (700 mm barrel) configuration.
It’s interesting to see the difference in power that barrel lengths make. It’s also interesting to see that these differences are greatest in .22 and .30 calibers.
| Caliber | .177 | .22 | .25 | .30 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Muzzle Energy 500 mm Barrel | 40 Ft/Lbs | 57 Ft/Lbs | 75 Ft/Lbs | 92 Ft/Lbs |
| Muzzle Energy 700 mm Barrel | 44 Ft/Lbs | 75 Ft/Lbs | 90 Ft/Lbs | 123 Ft/Lbs |
| Difference Due to Barrel Length | 4 Ft/Lbs | 18 Ft/Lbs | 15 Ft/Lbs | 31 Ft/Lbs |
| Difference Due To Barrel Length | 10% | 32% | 20% | 34% |
The short-barreled “Compact” model uses the Superior STX Liner. The longer barrels have the Superior Heavy Liner.
As you would expect, the Leopard includes FX’s externally-adjustable AMP regulator and Quick Tune system. There’s a two stage trigger and side-lever cocking too, of course.
The new rotary magazine is deeper, to accommodate slugs and pellets up to 13 mm ( over 0.5 Inch) long.
The Picatinny optics rail on this air rifle has a 20 MOA angle to improve accuracy at longer distances, and accessories that enhance the shooting experiences such as bipods, lights, lasers, and shooting weights can be added via the M-LOK and Arca-Swiss forend rail.
FX says that the ergonomic and textured UG1 AR-15-style grip provides added control and stability, and the ridged rubber buttpad enables comfortable control.
