In my opinion, it boils down to the dual regulator system. As long as the barrels are the same. Also, I like the impact trigger better. What do you all think? I’d like to hear personal experience.
MK2 vs. Maverick….which is better?
- Thread starter Maizen
- Start date
I’ve had 2 mk2’s, and now own a maverick. The mav is simpler. Even with the dual Regs. Less orings, simpler Valve. I don’t notice much difference between triggers, and the mav was substantially cheaper.

U can add a huma reg to the mk2 if you want 2 regs and there is more accessories for mk2 I don't have a maverick but from what I've read they seem good to a used mk2 goes for about what a new maverick goes for I don't think you can go wrong either way

With a little machinist know how. The MK2 can be upgraded on par with the m3
Mine already has the 720pp, and ppl are machining part to adapt the m3 second regulator.

Dual reg is better if your reg set point is low. If you set reg to high like me then it’s pointless mostly. Impact has the ability to fine tune more especially at lower power and for shorter barrel with valve control but if you have long barrel then difference is minimum unless your really push the power. Maverick is simpler and you will spend less money to upgrade but down side is as a toy it’s a bit on the boring side.
In short:
Impact = better/more expensive toy
Maverick = boringly awesome and cheaper

Agree with all the opinions suggested here.
My experience with the Maverick, Wildcat MKIII and Impact's (MKI, MKII, M3), would share the same evaluation as you all.
I have chosen the Impacts' to be my choice for reasons I will describe, as the Maverick and Wildcat MKIII are gone.
The Wildcat MKIII and Maverick were intriguing at the time for their interchangeable platforms with liners and probs. The Maverick had the "New Dual Regulators" set in a close too Impact platform. What could be better!!!...Well, after I got an Impact MKII and M3, I began to understand why the Impact was superior in my mind. Two main design features that set the Impact apart from the Maverick and Wildcat was the shot cycle and the harmonic balance. For me, it was the difference between "great everyday airguns" and a "precision air rifle". The FX Impact, regardless of how many O-rings it has, is superior in its platform and performance compared to each of the others. FX has designed each of them to fit a performance and price point exactly as intended and I have no complaints, they are all wonderful.
