I have one in .177 and it's super accurate. I get dime size groups at 25 yards. I have the fusion black. The stock is beautiful. It can be a bit of a tough one
to lock the barrel up. It shoots 7.9 grain cphp's around 970-980. Any other questions?

Sometimes cocking mine can be a bit tough but it's never too bad.  Pretty much always needs a good slap to break the barrel open but I can't complain because it's one accurate and powerful rifle

Ty
have you tried puttin some moly on the chisel detent so the lube can get pulled into the hole in which it works? this will help smooth your cocking effort up, it may take a little time to do so , so add the lube as needed.

I own a fenix 400.22 for a year so we might be taking about my bash that came from spain in june or may of last year.Be careful with the fenix 400 as far as the fusion goes i havent heard anything wrong with there cocking yet and im waiting for one as we speak in .22 i love them plenty.They are very accurate ,powerful ,not noisy, useable in your yard .The new ones are beautiful as the stock goes however i hope the action stays the same cause out the box there great shooters .If u decide to get one u wont be disapointed at all ....jorge

Crow,

   I would personally wait to see if they can get the trigger issue resolved. I have 1 of the first 3 Fusions to ever come into the US and 2 of the 3 have the same problem, so it defiantly isn't just a batch problem. These were pre Manou bros guns. I personally would wait till they come up with a warranty center. Right now everything comes from Spain and parts are not cheap ask Gene. I inquired about a replacement stock for my Fusion that was cracked during shipping and it was better than a third of the guns cost so is was repaired and works great. Now what I will say is the Fusion is well balanced feels good has good accuracy and power in .22. If your buying the gun because of the looks same your money and buy a 34 and spend the rest on a tune. JMO

i have 525 to spend on a gun
i have a scope already and mounts too
i do like the looks of the Fusion with the air stripper and the lines on the stock but if it has trigger issues i will wait a bit
i was thinking of getting a rig i could get into FT with but tha may be years befor i am capable of that kind of off hand accuracy and if they have any FT matches within 500 miles of me.
so mainly i was a 50 yards target and pest removal gun.
i was and still am looking at an HW97K blue lam but i dont know yet if i want it

I didnt know it was fusions also since i didnt hear about them i never suspected that they had same issues .I hate when that happens and they might know that a problem exist and wont have but if they do why not help the bunch that do have the problem cause to spend more money on the issue that came from there shop is ridiculous....geewhiz

Those are very fancy and excellent shooters from the reviews i have read in hear and other forums as well ,the tx200 are good as well however rws german made airrifles are excellent and are great shooters out the box i own the 350m.22 and had the rws48.22 another great shooter as well but a rws 34 is one i wouldnt mind getting .There are many great shooters out there and so little time to shoot ....jorge

I believe there is a FT club on Long Island. Don't remember for sure. The 97 is an excellent choice and if you are trying to dual-purpose the rifle .177 would be the way to go. Save the extra and get a regular stocked one the extra money can go to better mounts or put it away for a full FT stock.

I haven't had any trigger issues with my Fusion so far.  The trigger is probably one of my favorite things about the gun.  If you have that much money to spend though, why not step up into something like a TX.  From what I've heard you just can't go wrong with one of those!

If FT is just a thought why not get the 97 in .20cal you would have an all around gun. Still could shoot FT and could hunt with it too.
