Overview
The FX Ranchero is a Swedish precharged-pneumatic (PCP) air pistol chambered for .22 caliber pellets. Built by FX Airguns, it pairs a removable 65cc air cylinder with the company's Smooth Twist barrel and a single-motion biathlon-style bolt feeding an 8-shot rotary magazine. An adjustable two-stage match trigger, three-step external power adjuster, and walnut grip and forend make it a compact target and small-game air pistol capable of up to roughly 18 ft-lbs of muzzle energy.
