Hate to say it, but im going with the Impact. The only reason is its got a boat load of orings and moving parts.
Edit: dont get me wrong I love the gun and hope to have a .35 someday! But theres no way it can be reliable, can it?

I vote impact. I had so many problems with that gun. It was a gen1 so that was probably the reason

Air Arms S510 . Had two of these beautiful rifles . Neither would hold a reliable POI. It wasn't huge , bit at 35 yards the PoI would shift very slowly but almost constantly. The were super accurate. But it would drive ya crazy . I finally gave up on AA PCPs .

Just watching the post I also will say Impact, They are the most complicated air gun out there ,,, And most people I have talked to will tell you they are not a beginners gun...

This isn’t in-line with the direction the forum is going so far but my Benjamin trail NP2 guns were both wildly inaccurate. Total waste of power.
To get back on topic... my gamo CFR and the ACCU both have a large rotary breech o-ring that causes my grief. I can’t find a suitable replacement that both works and will allow smooth rotation. It’s been one or the other with replacements so far. I suppose if I just bought one made for the gun it would solve that problem. It hasn’t caused any issues besides me knowing it has damage though.

My vote goes to my impact, it didn’t actually stop working but it was just so frustrating due to numerous tiny problems, mag sticking, mod clipping, reg creep to list a few, all of which I sorted but the one thing I could never resolve was the constant POI shift every single time I picked up the gun.

This one. Bsa hornet .177 carbine. Purchased from aoa when they first hit the street. Gun would have problems cocking. After three trips back to aoa finally sent to David Slade for repair. Now a sweet accurate gun. Never spent a dime with that outfit sense.

Had to do a spring plunger set screw mod to get the trigger to an acceptable level, and now 50%of the time the sear won't reset unless you pull the trigger all the way through its overtravel.
The other 50% of the time the mag will not index unless you cock the bolt like the thing is a Mosin Nagant. You have to remember to give it a determined tug at the rear of its travel or no joy.

Nova Vista Liberty. Inevitable leaks, mine would have weird POI shifts all the time, groupings were either horrible or great depending on the day, and the cocking cycle was extremely rough on mine.

It's a NO contest, the FX Revolution was the most unreliable and failure prone AG I've ever had. After 3 trips back for repair I demanded some type of resolution which at least resulted in being mostly satisfied the Royale I purchased, but that still cost me $500 over the initial price of the Revo.
The FX Impact for me was a hassle at first then after a friend fixed it it was okay. $600 loss on it.
I'm not selling my FX Royale because I've got too much money into it.
That's 2 out of 3 so I've got BAD feelings, NO more FX for me. And to think I could have bought a Daystate Regal for the lost $ ???!!!

In my limited experience my .22 gamo swarm magnum has to be the worst. Every pellet goes somewhere different. Has to be re-zeroed every time I switch. Cheap plastic moderator clipped by pellets and interns baffles crumbling after a few shots. Scope / rings it came with would not "zero" without a bunch of shims. This feels like a solid power plant surrounded by cheap plastic garbage that's put there to look tacti-cool but not really carefully engineered. Like a cheap toy.
it is very reliable in terms of being unpredictable
