FX DRS MKII Pro MDT Sniper 700mm Air Rifle

Precision, re-engineered. No compromises.

If you’re serious about sending heavy slugs downrange with surgical consistency, the FX DRS MKII Pro MDT Sniper is going to feel like it was built around you. This is not a rehashed hunting carbine or a budget field gun. This is a dedicated long-range PCP platform that starts with a rigid MDT aluminium chassis and builds outward with purpose.

Right out of the case, you’ll notice what’s missing: a bulky bottle hanging off the front. FX has wrapped the air reservoir around the barrel instead, dropping the rifle’s profile and shifting the balance rearward. That 310cc integrated reservoir keeps the gun slim, well-mannered on tripods, and far less awkward to pack in and out of hides or range bags. It’s a simple idea that transforms how the rifle carries.

Tuned for slugs. Built for distance.

The factory has set this up with slug shooters in mind. The Superior STX barrel liner is the slug-optimised version – smoother internal rifling, less drag, and noticeably tighter groups once you push past fifty metres. And because the liner system works without depressurising the shroud, swapping calibres or refreshing the barrel doesn’t turn into a workshop ordeal.

Underneath that clean exterior lives a 73cc high-power plenum. That’s a deliberate piece of engineering for anyone running heavy .25 or .30 cal slugs. Combined with the externally adjustable MKII AMP regulator, you can dial up pressure, wind in hammer spring preload, and push energy figures well past standard PCP limits. Depending on calibre and setup, we’re talking up to 170 Joules – serious authority for wind-bucking performance at extended range.

That MDT chassis changes everything.

Let’s be honest: a stiff chassis makes or breaks a precision air rifle. The MDT aluminium chassis here isn’t just branding – it’s a genuine foundation. The integrated Arca-Swiss rail runs the full length underneath, so bipods and tripods lock solid without adaptors. M-LOK slots give you limitless accessory placement, while the vertical pistol grip and thumb rest encourage a natural, relaxed trigger hand.

Adjustability is where this chassis earns its keep. Cheek riser? Adjustable. Length of pull? Adjustable. The match trigger itself offers stage adjustment plus blade positioning for height, reach and angle. You can shape the entire interface to fit your frame, not the other way around.

Power you can actually use.

Many “high power” air rifles sacrifice shot count or consistency. The DRS MKII Pro sidesteps that trap. The 73cc plenum feeds the valve a deep, stable air supply, so you’re not chasing pressure drop across a string. The side lever cycles smoothly without breaking your cheek weld, and the right-side fill port keeps refills straightforward with the included probe.

Factory tuning is perfectly usable out of the box, but the real value emerges when you treat the rifle as a tuning platform. Adjust regulator pressure externally. Dial hammer spring preload (stock removed). Swap liners. Add the optional FX slug kit and Super High Power plenum for absolute top-end performance. This is a rifle that grows with your skill level.

Who is this actually for?

Two groups. First, the dedicated long-range target shooter who has already outgrown bottle-guns with wobbly stocks. Second, the serious hunter who needs reliable slug placement past conventional airgun ranges. In both cases, you need a Firearms Certificate – this is not a sub-12ft/lb rifle. It’s a purpose-built precision tool for those legally permitted to use it.

The final word.

The FX DRS MKII Pro MDT Sniper isn’t trying to be everything to everyone. It’s focused, slightly obsessive about chassis rigidity, and unapologetically built for slugs and distance. If you value external tuning, match-grade ergonomics, and a rifle that feels more like a competition centre fire than an airgun, this is your next step.
