In 2012, Axelsson used the FX Boss air rifle to win the annual Extreme Benchrest competition held at Green Valley, Arizona, where 4 others out of the top 10 competitors also used FX air rifles. Since then, FX air rifles have become increasingly popular among competition shooters, with nearly 3/4 of the top 20 Extreme Benchrest competitors in both "Pro" and "Sportsman" classes using FX airguns in 2017.
