A striped orange and black rifle rests against a tree on grass surrounded by fallen leaves. The background shows a blurred, leafy landscape.

If the standard FX DRS is the affordable estate car you recommend to your sensible friend, this particular version is what happens when that friend ignores you, ticks every option box, then asks what else is available in the catalogue. The FX DRS Saber Tactical Enhanced is not subtle, not restrained, and absolutely not apologising for it.


This was one of our AAR members-only competitions, meaning entrants answered a knowledge-based question, and then left the final outcome to the cold, impartial judgment of a random name generator. No bias. No favouritism. Just fate and a spinning digital wheel.


The Prize Everyone Wanted

The FX DRS Saber (spelt the American way) Tactical Enhanced is what happens when you take an already capable DRS platform and bolt it into a full CNC-machined Saber Tactical aluminium chassis finished in Boulder Grey. It keeps the traditional DRS layout but adds serious adjustability, usability, and long-range intent.


Adjustable cheekpiece. AR-style pistol grip. Metal thumb rest. Bag rider. QD sling points. Integrated ACD bubble level to keep things honest. Up front, you get ARCA and M-LOK for tripods and bipods, plus a lower Picatinny rail for the traditionalists who still trust metal and screws.


And crucially, this setup includes the extended 30 MOA Picatinny rail, which brings us neatly to the question that decided everything.


The Question That Sorted the Shooters From the Spectators

To be in with a chance of winning, entrants had to correctly answer:

What does MOA stand for?

The options were:

  • Minute(s) of Angle

  • Maximum Optical Adjustment

  • Muzzle Offset Angle

The correct answer, of course, is Minute of Angle. A name so confusing it feels deliberately designed to annoy beginners.


For context, 1 degree is 1/360th of a circle. Each degree is divided into 60 minutes, and each minute into 60 seconds. At 100 yards, 1 MOA equates to roughly 1 inch of spread. Technically it is 1.047 inches, because imperial measurements love being awkward.


Yes, it sort of makes sense. No, it is not especially intuitive. And yes, this is why we would happily see manufacturers move fully to MRAD instead, where 1 MRAD at 10 m equals 10 mm exactly. Clean, logical, and mercifully free of historical nonsense. But enough ranting.


A Very Popular Competition

This turned out to be one of the most correctly answered competitions we have ever run. Which means a lot of you knew your MOA, and a lot of you then had to sit nervously while the random name generator did its thing.


After all that anticipation, here are your winners.


🥇 1st Place: Andrew Wood of Gateshead - FX DRS Saber Tactical Kit

🥈 2nd Place: Jayne Granell of Bolton - APOLLO PMC Gun Bag

🥉 3rd Place: Paul Sells of Newbury - APOLLO PMC Gun Bag


Congratulations to all our winners. Excellent answers, excellent prizes, and hopefully a very smug walk into the shooting ground.
