APerfectMiss,
No hijacking happened...it is a good conversation to have for those that are still deciding on an Impact.@Sharroff and @SNOWBOARD223,Some question for you on your Impact:1) Have you tried to put a quick disconnect bipod on the lower rail?
Yes. When it is put on so that it doesn't move around, will it quick release? My Atlas would not.
2) Have you put a 1/8 MOA scope on your Impact?
Yes, 50yd min adjustment was too short (Nikon Monarch 3). Worked great for prairie dogs at about 70yds. I did go back to a Hawke SW for now. I don't think it is the scope .... I think the alignment between the barrel and scope mount aren't correct. The back of the scope needs to be moved up in order to get the alignment correct.
3) Have you tried low profile rings on your Impact?
Yes, too low for my comfortable check position Yep.
4) Have you done a barrel swap on your Impact?
No, I have yet to purchase another barrel. Plan on the .177 though. 4a) After the barrel swap have you tried resighting with the same scope?
N/A based on #4 ^^ 4b) After you go back to the original barrel did the scope setting for the initial sight in hold?
^^, barrel removal and re-installing same said barrel did not affect the POI. I think you will find you will need to change both the vertical and horizontal alignment between the barrels. Atleast between 25 and 30 they both need changed...it's not just fix the vertical.
6) Have you shot your Impact over a chronograph to look at shot to shot variation and extreme spread?
I have and had very consistent results on many different days. I guess the Impacts have variation then. I was not impressed with extreme spread and shot to short. I used sorted size and weight pellets that were lubed so it wasn't the pellet
7) Have you taken apart your shroud and inspected it yet?
Yes, be sure to have spare o-rings available due to sharp edges. Yep..that's my point.
8) Have you tried adjusting your trigger yet to make it like the ‘match’ trigger that was advertised?
I have and will say that the trigger is not what I expected, but still a great trigger none the less. I think it is ok for a hunting trigger, but good luck at getting the travel out of stage 2 and getting the weight down to a few ounces.
9) Have you used your power wheel significantly and looked at wear or do you just shoot it at the same setting?
Yes and I put a very small amount of grease on the cam to prevent the grinding against the parts(seems to work great). Another great point though. There should be a better design to prevent the gouging when adjusting.Point to make on this as well; be very sure the gun is not cocked when adjusting the power wheel. There is too much tension on the wheel if the gun is cocked and will create the greater potential for unnecessary gouging. Not to mention that turning that wheel when cocked may void the warranty
I think they should have used a harder metal for that wheel.
