I have a chance to buy a Impact Mk2 Matt Dubber Edition, I also have an abundance on CPHP's, has anyone tried shooting them in a Dubber Edition? I know it doesn't make alot of sense to shoot cheap pellets in an expensive gun but I have them and would like to shoot them with acceptable accuracy out of this gun if possible.
Matt Dubber Mk2 Impact
- Thread starter Revin
- Start date
That rifle comes tuned for slugs, right? It features a slug power kit and slug liner, I believe. This .22 caliber Impact comes out of box capable of pushing 40 grain Patriot slugs at nearly 900 fps. I can't imagine 15 grain CPHP being accurate at more than 1300 fps.
You may have to perform some major mods to tune the MD Impact for pellets.

Lol CPHPs.
Brother, I love me some cheap pellets. Let me help you disposing them in a more efficient process: get a semi auto in .22 (any model and brand).

All hypothetical, but:
That slugger edition was created and tuned for POWER. Would seem that you will need to de-tune it significantly to get 14 gr CPHP's shooting below supersonic. And then you have to wonder whether its slug-centric barrel will work well with CPHP's.
Maybe someone has some direct experience, but seems to be a long shot.
On a different (but maybe related) topic, sometimes when I buy a used gun it has been tuned 'The American Way' - everything all maxed out power wise. I'm just a lowly pellet shooter so a maxxed out gun is a) absolutely no fun for me to shoot and b) generally has poor accuracy.
Shooting light pellets out of a Dubber (slugger) edition - just doesn't sound fun to me.

There is nothing wrong with shooting cheap pellets just as long your pcp shoots them well. My bantam xr shoots CPHP really good. If I could get CPHP to shot better the JSB 18 grains in any of my 22's, I wound run with them in competitions. Never switched over because all my pcp's shot the JSB 18's so good.

Thanks for the replies guys, all were kind of what I was expecting. Gun isn't really what I've been looking for but just popped of locally from a friend. I think I'll keep looking for something along the lines of a Wildcat, Veteran, or ???

A FX Dreamtac Compact is an excellent Crosman 14.3 shooter. Mine doesn’t have a Superior liner. It’s just a standard STX liner. Once you find the happy speed, they shoot quite well.

What a great sense of humor we have here and still keep the OP engaged. You are all the best of the best.

I have no idea how good a gunsmith Matt Dubber is. He does a lot of experimentation and developement. Personally, I would buy a new factory gun that is built on factory jigs and everything is straight and true. Plus you get a 3 year warranty. If you want to shoot powderburner power levels, get a powderburner. They're cheaper.

Get a Uragan they are discounted in a lot of places now with the arrival of the version 2 and Vulcan 3 and shoots a lot of ammo just fine out of the box.

It’s just a marketing ploy.
The guns shipped with that build and spec. I don’t think he ever saw them.

Matt dubber edition is just a factory MK2 with slug kit installed with custom color and slug tune by Utah air. Matt doesn’t touch the gun at all let along work one it. Why wouldn’t it be under FX factory warranty? FX has 3 year warranty on basically all their products for 3 years, most other brands have only 1 year warranty and getting warranty is another story on top of that with many are non-transferable. Crosman is the only except I know of with fantastic customer service.
