Which would you choose and why?

I like the wood stock a lot better. Both are very accurate. It is really a toss up as to which is better.

Excellent rifles. The main difference between the two are the FX Tarantula costs a bit more and the FX Cyclone has a bit more power. The following web site may be of more help.

Had Tarantula, loved it, but too nice for me, and I did not like the PCP part-tanks etc. and missed recoil.

But, you could not find better shooter in my book. Mine had full non US moderator that made it too long and still was too noisy for me and the neighbors, woods and all. At 1250 FPS full poer, breaking the sound barrier still makes a crack...

But, if your are into PCP, Tarantula is the best. As for wood versus composit, I like the latter as being lighter and not so likely to show nicks etc. Your choice! Either way, those Swedes make one dazzling rifle.
