FX Airguns Bobcat MkII PCP Air Rifle: A Proven Bullpup Performer

The FX Airguns Bobcat MkII PCP Air Rifle is one of the most respected bullpup air rifles ever produced by Swedish manufacturer FX Airguns. Designed for shooters who demand exceptional accuracy, compact handling, and reliable performance, the Bobcat MkII builds on the success of the original Bobcat with meaningful improvements in air efficiency, consistency, and overall usability.

Although newer FX models have since been introduced, the FX Airguns Bobcat Mk2 PCP Air Rifle continues to enjoy a loyal following among hunters, pest controllers, and precision shooters thanks to its proven design and outstanding field performance.

The Bobcat MkII was engineered to provide full-length rifle performance in a compact bullpup platform. By positioning the action behind the trigger, FX created a rifle that is easy to manoeuvre while retaining the accuracy benefits of a full-length match-grade barrel.

The FX Airguns Bobcat MkII PCP Air Rifle remains one of the most successful bullpup PCP rifles ever produced. Its compact design, factory-regulated performance, Smooth Twist barrel, and exceptional build quality continue to make it a sought-after choice among experienced airgun enthusiasts.

Building on that success, FX introduced the MK2, refining the original platform with mechanical improvements, a smoother action, and enhanced consistency. Today, both rifles remain highly sought after on the used market, and many shooters still debate which version offers the better value.

FX Airguns Bobcat MkII PCP Air Rifle

In 2012, we developed and brought into production the Bobcat air rifle. The design team at FX looked very hard at the competition’s bullpup offerings and found most cocking systems very hard and uncomfortable to use in the field or on the bench. In typical FX tradition, following was not an option, so with the knowledge of features that airgun shooters desire, the FX Bobcat was born. The Bobcat is a hybrid that sports the best of two action designs. Short and quick to handle as a bullpup and easy to use with high power and accuracy as a full-length rifle. The overwhelming success of the Bobcat has charged the factory to improve on this fine shooting platform.

Enter the Bobcat MkII. This new version comes standard with a competition-grade regulator and a dual pressure gauge system that reads regulator and air supply pressures. The probe filling port has an integrated twist-open dust cover that protects the inlet valve from debris. Also new on the MkII is a cocking lever in billet aluminum. Internal improvements have also been made to increase the reliability of the rifle. The famous match-winning Smooth Twist barrel is fitted to a single-piece breech block that houses a valve and power-adjusting system which provides very consistent velocities and one of the highest shot counts per air volume in the industry.

The Bobcat MkII provides high power, match-winning accuracy with quiet operation nestled in a synthetic soft-touch stock for maximum comfort in all weather conditions. The Bobcat MkII will set the standard for high-precision air rifles and will not disappoint the most demanding airgun shooter.
