The FX Dynamic Express 500 is a PCP air rifle that gives you superior power for peak hunting results while leveraging the groundbreaking innovations of earlier models to give you extreme accuracy and control. You get the same consistency from each shot you’ve come to expect from their past airguns, plus increased air capacity that gives you a higher shot count.
This version of the air rifle gives you a 500mm barrel for the shortest and lightest option on the platform, meaning you get excellent maneuverability. You’ll enjoy the performance you get when shooting pellets and lighter slugs because it comes with an FX Superior STX barrel liner, and you’ll also appreciate the large number of shots per fill you get with the 480cc carbon fiber bottle.
The FX Dynamic Express 500 gives you powerful shots thanks to the Dynamic Block, with its short impulse, high power valve that gives you efficient use of air. It also gives you incredible consistency because of the Dynamic Plenum, which leads to a stiffer barrel because it surrounds it with steady pressure.
You get fast and easy tuning capabilities with the externally adjustable AMP MKII regulator and the adjustable hammer spring power wheel, and the two stage adjustable match trigger gives you the custom break you’re looking for. You also get an ergonomic textured grip for a hold that won’t slip, plus a molded cover for the bottle that gives you a cheek rest and a ventilated rubber buttpad for better control.
Knowing how every shot is going to perform is no problem because of the dual angled pressure gauges on the block that make it easy to see the regulated plenum pressure and the bottle pressure at all times. You’ll also like long range accuracy because of the 20 MOA cant on the Picatinny scope rail, and the 14.5″ Arca-Swiss forend rail with M-LOK slots makes it simple to add helpful accessories.
The FX Dynamic Express 500 is based on the FX Panthera, but features a larger bottle size and a different stock and grip. The bottle has been upgraded from 300 to 480 cc to increase shot count, and now connects to the action directly. This bottle has a stock built around it, of which the shoulder piece can be adjusted vertically. Compared to the Panthera, this new set-up increases the length of the rifle with 40 mm. Another change is that the zero angle grip has been replaced with an angled AR-15 grip.
Impressive engineering
This powerhouse is built for optimal airflow, meaning that air will flow as fast and efficient as possible as soon as you pull the trigger. For this, all parts are perfectly in sync with each other. Let us pick out the highlights for you:
• Regulator – the single AMP MKII regulator has its own pressure gauge and can be adjusted meticulously. It lets you lower the pressure coming from the 250 bar bottle (480 cc and sporting its own pressure gauge) to create the perfect pressure inside the plenum to match your chosen ammunition.
• Dynamic Plenum – inside the plenum, the already regulated air is at the ready for the next shot. The plenum is available in different capacities and the bigger the calibre and the heavier the projectile, the more capacity you’ll need inside the plenum. Available plenum sizes are: Macro (62 cc) and Magnum XL (156 cc). The FX Dynamic Express 500 sports a 62 cc Macro around the barrel.
• Dynamic Block – an extra-large breech is featured inside the Dynamic Block, allowing for slugs up to 13 mm in length. A smart move, as the FX Dynamic Express 500 is specifically designed to use slugs. A newly developed High Power/Short Impulse one-piece valve ensures a large and extremely fast airflow.
• Quick Tune System – to tune further, the hammer spring preload can be adjusted with a macro adjustment wheel in numerous numbered steps. Finetuning is then done with a micro adjustment, also with a clear scale to see what you’re doing. This makes choosing a setting a breeze.
• Superior STX – the famed Superior STX barrel system features a changeable Superior STX standard liner into which the rifling is pressed from the outside. This is done to keep the inside of the barrel as smooth as possible and to ensure perfect sealing around the projectile.
Functional design
Everything on this FX Dynamic Express 500 is designed for ultimate accuracy over medium to long distances and ergonomics are an important aspect of this. The adjustable match trigger of the FX Dynamic Express 500 is known to be very refined and its blade is adjustable in both angle and height. To make the air rifle operable ambidextrously, the short throw cocking lever can be switched from side to side. The PCP rifle also features a 17.75” Arca rail over the full length of the fore-end with M-LOK slots into which optional balancing weights can be attached. There’s also a barricade block for perfect repetitive positioning.
Being a thoroughbred long distance PCP air rifle, the FX Dynamic Express 500 is -of course- featuring a 20 MOA Weaver/Picatinny scoperail. This slightly forward slanted rail really enhances the adjustment range of your rifle scope when shooting over long distances. The front of the fore-end has M-LOK slots in top, sides and below and is ready for optional Weaver/Picatinny accessory rails. This makes mounting a bipod -for instance- a walk in the park.
Please note: The FX Dynamic Express 500 comes pre-adjusted in an average state of tuning for average use. The maximum power stated in the specifications can be reached by using the multiple adjustment options on this air rifle, combined with the optional available tungsten hammer.
