FX guns

[rangur1]

Ok, let’s not go full fanboy / hater tit for tat as a lot of these posts do. It’s no secret I’m not an FX fanboy, however, I have bought many of their guns. 3 wildcats, 1 streamline, 1 dreamtac, 1 maverick compact, 5 of these have been sold. Now I finally have an impact coming. As with any other gun I will put rounds through and see how the “feel” of it is. My deal is these guns perform smoothly, but always felt delicate in my hands. The maverick compact has a nice place of it’s own, hopefully the impact proves irresistible. Anyways, no one can fault me for not giving FX a chance! Lol!

Which one did you get? I have found that the longer the barrel the more sensitive they can be, stock anyway. I honestly really like the compact version for hunting in the woods. Really easy to swing around and there isn't to much of a worry about hitting anything with the barrel.

What I will say is I have 380mm 22 crown for hunting and LOVE it!!!! This is my go to rifle....I compete right now with a 25 crown in a Saber Tactical stock and I have a 30 cal impact MKII for hunting. In 177 I have a Daystate Huntsman and I just got a 357 Bulldog to play with. I have gone through a bunch or rifles and if I can't 'Meld" with them they are gone....The impact is my least favorite, but every time I pick it up it hits right where I am aiming.

I found that the compact Impact is my preferred version of the platform as well.

The 700MM versions give excellent service as bench guns or stationary position rigs, while the compact FOR ME is capable enough for pesting out to my self imposed radius of 75 or 80 yards.

I also feel personally, that the Impact performs at its best, in any configuration, if it is not pushed right up to the edge of its capabilities..
Set up at a reasonable pellet velocity, or a mild slug tune, they are not so temperamental and quirky.

If your not chasing the high power the compact will definitely fit the bill. The shorter barrel is ideal for stalking through the woods while the longer one’s, for me, are better if in a blind or shooting from a bench. Again, just my opinion and experience. Hope you enjoy it…

I love my 25 cal Impact Sniper. It has the 700 mm barrel but I'm not using a moderator, so for me it's short enough. I'm shooting 25.39 grain JSB pellets at 920 FPS and even without a moderator, it is not loud by any measure. I'm getting 150+ shots per fill with the 580 cc bottle.

For my needs ranch working, meaning fence work rabbit hunt, water runs bird hunting, cabin work plinking and having fun . the M3 could not take the gentle abuse of side x side riding and constant field carry. but my local air rifle gunsmith made me a custom barrel tensioner and it works not 100% relievable but i have tested it at the gun range and tried pretty much any regular scenario field abuse and it only move the POI about 1.5". funny thing is the tensioner seems to bring the point of impact back to almost where it was within 2 shots.

I have to agree with the opinions saying that the Impact Compact is the best configuration in terms of being the most universal. I love my 30 cal Impact Sniper and really don't have any complaints about it. But, I find myself grabbing my 22 cal Impact Compact more on my own property because of it's compact size and very manageable weight. I love the Compact so much that next month I'm going to build up another one but in 30 cal. I love my Dreamline Tactical too but it's just too long for my needs which is why I put it up for sale in the classifieds.

precisely the reason i sold my dream lite bottle,
it was like carrying around a telephone pole lol

i can lay my compact on my front seat and it doesnt touch anything lol love that!

much easier to not have to put it in and out of the case when driving from one sniping spot to another at the farms i pest at

Friend who lives near me has an Impact. While target shooting at his place we did a "I'll shoot yours & you shoot mine". He shot my Boss & couldn't believe the buttery Smoothness, quiet & ease of comfort & handling on a classic style rifle. I, on the other hand, couldn't get comfortable with the cold "stiffness" , grinding metal sounds (to me) & the weight of his rig. BOTH were wonderfully accurate but I prefer everything about mine & almost nothing about his. To each his own, variety is the spice of life, etc., etc. I don't consider myself an FX FANBOY, more of a "certain type of platform" fanboy. (See thread about Daystate Huntsman)
