FX IMPACT TENSIONED SNIPER TUBE KIT 5.5MM STX 700MM
The FX Impact Tensioned Sniper Tube Kit 5.5MM STX 700mm ships with a Heavy Superior Liner included.
The advancement of slug shooting and the enhancements to the FX Impact have shooters wanting to use heavier slugs at faster speeds. This requires a more rigid barrel to handle the additional energy and vibrations created by these projectiles. The new FX Tensioned Barrel System adds the firmness needed to let you reach the potential of the FX Impact with heavy slugs. All while maintaining the extreme accuracy everyone expects from an FX Airgun.
Conceived and created by the famed airgun engineer Hein Frommann, who perfected it through a global collaboration with some big names. Johan & Fredrik Axelsson (Sweden), Matt Dubber & Roelf Vorster (South Africa) & Ernest Rowe (USA). The result is really showing off the brain trust at FX Airguns.
From a barrel harmonics perspective, the tensioner system reduces the amplitude of barrel movement. This results in better accuracy and more consistency. Secondarily the rigidness of the barrel becomes more temperature stable and will further hold zero regardless of conditions. Furthermore, it helps to handle knocks to the barrel during hunting, PRS courses, etc.
700mm Barrel
To push the boundaries of what small bore slugs can do, FX is introducing an 700mm Slug Tensioned Barrel for the FX Impact. This barrel will allow the FX Impact to shoot heavier slugs at the speeds needed to create a higher BC. Therefore, it enables the Impact to shoot at further distances.
All FX Tensioned Barrels allow the shooter to use a moderator. 1/2” UNF threads come standard on all but the .35 Calibres, which use an M18x1 thread. When installing the tension nut, tighten until the nut is flush with the carbon fiber housing. Then tighten an additional quarter turn. Additional torque is not needed. Note: The tensioned barrel is not really needed for those shooting pellets. Pellets use less pressure and produces less movement to the barrel (except for the .35 calibre that does benefit from the tensioner).
About FX Airguns
Fredrik Axelsson founded FX Airguns in the small picturesque town of Mariestad, Sweden in 1999. As a passionate airgun enthusiast, he was constantly on the look for the best airgun available. When Fredrik didn’t find what he was looking for, he started on the journey to create the airgun of his dreams. Two decades later, he has more than succeeded.
The highly skilled FX team relentlessly introduce cutting edge technologies. FX Airguns propelled the airgun industry into a new era, where they are globally considered an industry leader. As intricate as their guns are, the philosophy behind their creations is quite simple; to provide the most exceptional airgun in every possible way; and so, they have.
A team of over 50 Swedish craftsmen and engineers that have honed their skills to perfection lovingly handcraft FX’s airguns; and airgun lovers worldwide have rightfully come to expect much from them. An FX Airgun won’t leave the factory until it has been thoroughly tested in all aspects of its masterfully engineered capacities. FX Airguns provide superior accuracy, dependable consistency, as well as being remarkably quiet, efficient and extremely powerful.
A trailblazer for the airgun industry since its inception, their merit list is long. They have more patents, unique innovations and are more technologically advanced than any other airgun manufacturer existing today.
The backbone of FX Airguns has always been and will always be their deep passion for the airgun sport and their drive to outperform yesterday.
