FX DRS Mk2 Compact Synthetic PCP Air Rifle
The FX DRS Mk2 Compact Synthetic takes everything that made the original DRS such a success and refines it into a more practical, more capable hunting and target rifle. Designed to blend traditional rifle aesthetics with cutting-edge airgun technology, the DRS Mk2 keeps its incredibly slim profile while introducing a series of meaningful upgrades that shooters have been asking for since the original launch.
One of the standout features of the DRS platform is the unique FX Air Pressure Barrel (APB) system. Rather than using a conventional air cylinder beneath the barrel, the air reservoir wraps around it, creating an exceptionally slim rifle that feels much closer to a traditional sporter than most modern PCP airguns. The result is superb balance, excellent barrel rigidity, and a rifle that feels natural whether you're shooting from a hide, a bench, or standing unsupported.
The Mk2 introduces a revised side lever system that feels smoother and more refined during operation, making follow-up shots effortless. Internally, the rifle continues to utilise the renowned FX interchangeable liner system, but now allows liner changes without needing to degas the rifle first. Faster, easier, and significantly more convenient for shooters who like to experiment with different calibres or barrel configurations.
Perhaps the most welcome update is the move to a Picatinny optics rail. Gone is the old dovetail arrangement. Every DRS Mk2 now arrives with a 30 MOA Picatinny rail fitted as standard, making scope mounting simpler while offering additional elevation adjustment for longer-range shooting. While 30 MOA may be excessive for close-range plinking or 10 metre target work, it is a huge advantage for shooters stretching the capabilities of modern air rifles at longer distances.
This Compact model carries the same barrel length as the original DRS Standard. If you owned and enjoyed the original Standard, this is the direct successor. Combined with the durable synthetic stock, it creates a lightweight, weather-resistant rifle that is equally at home on the range or in the field. For pest controllers, hunters, and shooters who need a rifle that can handle regular hard use without worrying about delicate woodwork, the Compact Synthetic is arguably the most practical version of the DRS Mk2 range.
