The FX Leopard Sniper Bottle is a bullpup airgun that offers precision, power and adaptability. It features the latest FX innovations that excel on their other platforms, brought together in one compact and high-performance package. A new unique FX Leopard feature is that it now incorporates a 54 cc power plenum inside the butt stock.
To cater for different user preferences, the Leopard comes in a bottle and tube variant. This FX Leopard Sniper bottle variant is best suited for long-range and benchrest shooting. It brings the following to the table:
- An additional 480 cc carbon fibre bottle for increased shot capacity
- A Weaver/Picatinny accessory rail for attachments
- A total of 890 cc’s of pressurised air, reducing the need for frequent refills
FX Leopard features:
- 54 cc Power Plenum – has now been hidden away in the butt stock and functions as the buffer between the regulator and the valve. It contains the amount of regulated compressed air needed to thrust out one projectile.
- AMP MkII regulator – regulates the amount of compressed air that enters the power plenum and can be adjusted externally to match the pressure to the preferred ammunition and achieve higher accuracy.
- Quick Tune System – lets the user further fine-tune airflow through macro- and micro-adjustments to the hammer strength.
- Over-barrel PCP reservoir – this shroud air tank reduces the air rifle’s bulk to improve shooting positions and transport. Its pressurised air capacity amounts to 310 cc’s.
- STX Superior Heavy Liner – has a slightly modified choke and groove to be optimal for heavier pellets and slugs. It features smooth 1:18 rifling that has been pressed in from the outside to minimise friction and maximise the seal around ammunition.
- 20 MOA mounting rail – inclines forward in a 20 MOA angle to provide more rifle scope adjustment range for long distance shooting.
- Adjustable two-stage trigger – can be configured to perfectly match the shooter’s ergonomic preference.
- FX UG1 grip – has a soft, grippy surface and finger grooves for optimal ergonomics. Can be swapped out for other AR-style grips.
- Adjustable butt pad – can be moved up or down, without the use of tools, to perfectly fit to the shoulder.
- Rotary magazine – cycles smoothly and is deep enough to fit projectiles of up to 13 mm, so it can fit heavy slugs.
- ½x20" muzzle thread – provides the possibility to attach a sound moderator to reduce muzzle noise.
- Dual-sided safety switch – engages the trigger safety mechanism to prevent the Leopard from firing.
