All of our FX rifles have had poi shifting issues. Some worse than others. A couple were so delicate we had to re-zero after taking them out of a case or leaning them gently up against something. Most have been fixed after upgrading, I think FX should be selling solid rigid barrels for the prices they get. Part of the waffling of the topic I think has to do with what some people do with their rifles. If you are only shooting paper at close ranges in little to no wind at similar temps, poi may never be an issue. But for many of us a 0.5moa shift makes the rifle useless, and in many instances a thin barrel can be several moa poi. Then there are things like barrel length, fpe, climate swings (temps affect barrel material deflection) etc. For some reason this subject gets kinda heated, with many people insisting others dont have the problem of poi and its just user error. I think we sometimes lose the ability to be objectively critical on the things we are invested in and are attached to. I really love all my FXs but they have plenty of design flaws to whine about.
Impacts 500mm/700mm needed CF Sleeves and Tensioners, one of them still needs to be re-zeroed occasionally.
Wildcat 500mm needed a Barrel Band, but was the best out of our bunch to begin with.
Maverick 700mm, I need to do more testing but it will likely need all three upgrades.
