Built to Perform. Built to Last. Built for the Field.

You're set up behind the grain shed just before first light. The pigeons are already working the roof ridge, and you've got one shot - maybe two - before they scatter. This is exactly the situation the FX DRS Synthetic 5.5mm PCP air rifle was engineered for: precise, repeatable, and ready when it counts.

Swedish Precision, South African Conditions

FX Airguns has built its global reputation on one principle - uncompromising quality in every rifle that leaves the factory in Mariestad, Sweden. The FX DRS Synthetic carries that DNA into a practical, field-hardened package that handles the dust of the Karoo, the humidity of the Lowveld, and the wind of the highveld without complaint.

The synthetic stock isn't a cost-cutting measure - it's a deliberate choice for durability and weather resistance. It won't warp, crack, or absorb moisture. It takes knocks. It keeps its zero.

Regulation That Matters in the Real World

The built-in regulator is the heart of what makes the DRS a serious shooter's tool. By maintaining consistent air pressure behind every pellet, it delivers the kind of shot-to-shot velocity consistency that translates directly into tight groups at distance. Whether you're shooting your first pellet from a fresh fill or your last pellet before a top-up, the rifle performs the same way.

For field target competition, that consistency is non-negotiable. For pest control on the smallholding - rats in the feed room, sparrows in the rafters, pigeons on the water tank - it means you're not guessing where the next shot will land.

The 5.5mm Advantage

The 5.5mm (.22 calibre) is the most versatile hunting and pest control calibre in the South African airgun context. It delivers meaningfully more downrange energy than .177, making it the preferred choice for:

• Rats, mice, and urban pest species at typical suburban ranges
• Pigeons, sparrows, and starlings around farm buildings and grain stores
• Hares and rabbits in open bushveld and agricultural settings
• Guinea fowl chick management on game farms
• Field target and precision plinking disciplines

At these tasks, a well-placed 5.5mm pellet from a regulated PCP is decisive and humane - exactly what a responsible shooter demands.

Shrouded and Neighbour-Friendly

The integrated barrel shroud on the FX DRS significantly reduces muzzle report - a practical advantage whether you're shooting in a suburban garden, a farm outbuilding, or a formal range environment. You stay focused. The quarry doesn't scatter before you cycle the next shot.

Multi-Shot Capability - Stay in the Game

The side-lever action and rotary magazine system keep you cycling smoothly and quietly between shots. No fumbling with single pellets. No breaking your cheek weld to reload. In a pest control scenario where a second or third shot opportunity presents itself in seconds, this matters.

No Licence. No Complications.

In South Africa, the FX DRS Synthetic 5.5mm operates below the legal energy threshold that triggers the Firearms Control Act licensing requirement. That means you can own, use, and transport this rifle without a firearms licence - making it accessible to a wide range of shooters, from experienced hunters to junior competitors developing their discipline.

Who Is the FX DRS Synthetic Built For?

• Farmers and smallholding owners managing pest species around buildings and crops
• Suburban shooters dealing with pigeons, rats, and garden pests responsibly
• Field target competitors who need a regulated, consistent platform

• Junior shooters developing marksmanship fundamentals on a quality platform
• Precision training enthusiasts building trigger time and technique
