FX Independence... pump built into the rifle!

A Twelve shot magazine and built in air pump, side lever action type.

It is interesting, .22 Calibre with ability to shoot all day without having to carry a separate pump looks nice.

From the Blog by Jock Elliot:  "it required only 9.3 ounces to take up the first stage, and at l lb .5 ounces, the shot goes down range. Sweet!

Over the course of 9 shots, the Independence launched the 18.2 grain JSB Jumbo Heavy pellets at an average of 849 fps (high 867, low 833), generating about 29.1 (average) footpounds of energy at the muzzle. Thanks to the shroud, the report is very neighbor-friendly, roughly as loud as someone tapping their fingernail on a plastic countertop.

The accuracy is what I have come to expect from FX. Shooting JSB Jumbo Express pellets, at 35 yards from a rest, I put five shots into a group you could easily hide under a dime. I bet that shooters will soon be reporting similar groups at 50 yards".

The Yellow?
That is the forum I have tried signing on to a number of times... no luck at all. Never takes it so I just stopped going there.
