The FX Wildcat MKIII BT Compact is new and improved, possessing more power and air capacity to handle slugs and heavier pellets. The build and function of this airgun made it the favorite off-hand hunting PCP for the last seven years. The increased power is thanks to the large 89cc Power Plenum found in the stock. This plenum truly caters towards slugs and heavy pellets, effectively extending the muzzle energy and therefore the range in which you can use it. (Note: if you prefer classic sized pellets, the standard Wildcat MKIII is the airgun for you.)
Dual FX AMP Regulators are what tame the massive power center and refine overall accuracy. The first regulator is found just after the carbon fiber bottle (aluminum bottle on the VP version); its purpose is to reduce the initial pressure in preparation for the second regulator, providing less stress as well as allowing the use of 300 BAR bottles. The second regulator regulates an extremely precise amount of air, which is an important factor in making each shot consistent. Combined with the FX Smooth Twist X Barrel System, shooters can be assured their rifle is at maximum accuracy.
The Wildcat MKIII BT offers extreme adjustability with the externally adjustable regulators and the rear power adjuster. Shooters can shift from higher speeds necessary to a long outdoor shot to lower power for backyard target practice. The rear power adjuster also allows for quick micro and macro adjustments to fine tune the ideal speed for the projectile you’re shooting.
The FX Wildcat MkIII BT comes in three configurations: The Compact with a 300cc carbon fiber bottle and 500mm barrel, The Sniper with a 580cc carbon fiber bottle and 700mm barrel, and the value priced VP with a 400cc aluminum bottle and 600mm barrel. Additional barrel kits in calibers .177 thru .30 are sold separately and are easily interchangeable.
Also available to Wildcat owners is the FX Wildcat Slug Power Kit (sold separately) that allows for additional power and velocities tailored to heavier projectiles. The ability to shoot slugs and heavier pellets with the Wildcat MKIII BT ushers in a new generation to the brilliance that is the FX Wildcat.
