Pre-Orders are Becoming a Way of Life!

To find a high-end air gun in stock is becoming more and more of a miracle. This is because there is no USA manufacturers making them; so that leaves quality foreign manufacturers like Air Arms, Anschutz, Beeman, DayState, Evanix, Feinwerkbau, FX, IZH, RWS, Sam Yang, Sumatra, Walther and Weihrauch (Y-Rock).

Something a lot of people don’t know is that practically all of the countries in the world have power restrictions of approximately 12 foot pounds… about enough power to put a pellet through a piece of cardboard or maybe drop a barn swallow or a small rat.

These foreign manufacturers are tooled up to make these 12 foot pounders for a huge already established European market. At the same time they also have to try to make special high power models for the unrestricted US market. Top that with growing firearm restrictions and the scarcity of live ammunition and you have more and more people world wide turning to air guns. As a result, oversees air gun manufacturers are having great difficulty keeping up with the massive flood of US orders.

Orders are placed by the US distributors and then appear with little or no advance lead time. It does no good to constantly ask dealers for a projected delivery time because they honestly do not know for sure.

The best defense against this growing demand is timing. The “I want it now” mentality can actually work in your favor. Those that are not aware of what is going on will wait for the elusive “bird in hand” and wind up like the punk who forgot his Fortune Cookie. Getting on the front end of the demand curve by paying up front (placing a Pre-Order) will let you outsmart the short supply. Placing a Pre-Order does not guarantee delivery but it does increase your chances because there will be those who will drop out and push you higher up the waiting line. Before you know it, I will be sending you the tracking number and you will have prevailed over the status quo. Timing is everything… It is a simple matter of the law of supply and demand.

The robust FX Wildcat MKII Compact is the perfect answer to many shooters desire for a more compact .25 caliber FX airgun without sacrificing power. The MKII Compact was conceived and built with the hunter in mind. It takes all the power of the standard .25 caliber Wildcat, reduces its length and weight to the more compact and well-balanced size of the .22 caliber Wildcat.

Picatinny rails have been added both for the scope mount as well as an accessory rail. To keep things quiet, a 5” moderator has also been included. The result is nothing short of spectacular. 47 ft. lbs. of muzzle energy from a compact bullpup weighing in at just 6.25 lbs. and just 26” in length (31” long with the moderator).

Much like the standard Wildcat MKII, the Compact features the new FX Interchangeable Barrel system. This system (as first introduced on the FX Crown) allows shooters to upgrade the standard FX Smooth Twist Barrel that comes with the Compact to an upgraded Smooth Twist X Barrel of their desired twist rate and specifications. It gives airgunners the ability to shoot a wider variety of slugs and pellets to suit their individual needs.

The FX Wildcat MKII Compact is a phenomenal option for such a well-priced, premium bullpup. It is a perfectly proportionate, light and whisper quiet gun; yet it still remains an incredibly powerful airgun that is an ideal companion for an early morning game hunt or for turning heads at your local shooting range.
