I owed an Impact M3 and was pretty impressed with its capability to shoot slug accurately. But when it comes to holding zero day in day out, my M3 does do a good job and it's a bumper trying to rezero my gun any shooting session. Just few clicks like 5 to 7 ckicks but I don't like the idea of zeroing every time I go hunting.

Has anyone with a slug shooting RTI prophet (either 1 or 2) can confirm if your gun could hold zero time after time? I'm shooting 27gr to 30gr .22 at 950fps or 33-35gr .25 @950fps that's all I need.

Thanks a bunch!
 
My p1 with rpb barrel never has poi shift. And shoots several different pellets and slugs accurately. All 3 of the impacts, mavericks, and wildcats I have had did have the poi shift. Had to adjust the scope a few clicks every time I took it out to shoot. But once adjusted they held on target for that shooting session.

Resurrected this thread for a related subject. I’ve owned an M3 for a couple years now. I’ve set it up to shoot both .22 and .30 pellets but am seriously thinking of exploring slugs. The M3 is a fine air gun but I am not a hard core air gunner. I find it is over complicated for my more humble use. I find myself just using the regulator pressure for tuning and leave the other adjustments alone. If I’m going to go through the hassle and expense of setting up a gun for slug use I can’t help but wonder if I might want to purse another horse to ride? I have never handled a P-3 but it sure seems simple, basic and effective? Very serious what you guys think? Reliability, consistency and ease of maintenance are more important to me than getting 1” patterns at 100 yards, 2.5-3.5” is fine :)

Reliability, consistency and ease of maintenance…

…then what you want is a Prophet Performance v1 … and simply add an RPB barrel in either .22 or .25.

Then you have the most simple, reliable and maintainable Prophet with the best barrel for slugs.

I’ve had 3 FX Impact M3 sold them all The P3 is the most accurate PCP that never shifts on POI…. crazy accurate takes about 15 minutes to adjust to your liking and speed with the FX impact. You got a constantly fiddle with it and the POI constantly shifts from day-to-day grab one from talent tunes. You’ll be very happy you did happy new year to you.

I have three P1's - two with the newer RPB barrels ( .22 and .25 ). The third one has a .177 barrel in it (Priest barrel I guess - bought it from AOA as a kit). All three shooting slugs - .25 / 33g javelins, .22 / 25g H&N's, and the .177 / 13g jsb ko's. All three have smoked plenty of pigeons, starlings and woodchucks at my dairy permissions. :) I've "won" (tied for first place actually) a couple of extreme FT meets with the local FT group that I shoot with using the .25. It's accurate.
