I think all the FX rifles are pretty much the same quality wise, which is to say top of the line.  My Cyclone was an outstanding rifle, and is probably the one I most regret letting go of.  It's about the only rifle I've owned so far that I fully intend to get another one when I can afford it.

I'm a little confused by one thing, though.  All the info I've seen leads me to believe the Typhoon is a single shot, not a repeater.  The T-12 Whisper, which is based on the same action, is a repeater.  Both of these are fixed power.  By stepping up to the Cyclone, and I believe most of the other FX rifles,  you get a 3 step power adjuster.  Very slick and foolproof.  Bottom line, with FX, you just can't go wrong.  Later.

its the same gun as the logun solo,its fixed power....its a good gun but the weak thing about this gun is the soft alloy breech becomes loose overtime ...i have one b4 after 3000 shots the it wont hold zero the poi wud always shifts due to the soft alloy breech
