Such a amazing gun! *drools. Good info, now we won't have to worry about sighting it in by changing barrels.

Michael,
many thanks for taking the time and effort to aid us in our decision making. Now it,s time to plunk down some cash.

Nice Video Michael, pretty impressed, looks as tho the POI could have changed, but with so many variables it seems that 15 pellets stacked up in a little over an inch at 50 yards? I'll take that any day.

Michael,
Another great video; thanks!
Were you using the .30 cal barrel for the demo? Noted the foliage was moving quite a bit in some of the shots yet you did not bother with windage adjustment at 50 yds; impressive.
Thanks again.
Stephen

Good eye, Ronin001; thanks. Makes sense given how well the .25 barrel has been grouping for Michael.

Thank you for the well-thought-out video and for finding time to post for the us. Great to know that the POI change is safe from barrel changes. Keep up the great work...looking forward more info with great interest!

Michael, 15 rounds in a 1 inch group at 50 yards, looks like no need to re-zero the scope after "taking down" the Impact and putting it back in the case. Do you have any pictures of the FX Impact in its case?
Thanks
Thanks

all I see is "blocked plug-in" 
AH-HA! Fixed it!
LOL! That's great! I really liked fast forward talking and the target tongue! HAHA! Thanks for the laugh and the great info! Well done! Now, I've got to try the same thing with mine (once I get off work...)

I agree with ezerhonden 14 .My fx bobcat .25 gets one hole to dimes at 50 yards ! Quarter sized at most. From a benched position sand bag in back . With a vise and an 1899$ air rifle I would want no less regardless...

I do thank you and like your reviews! Inch group with scope cam is not bad. I have the same setup .You can get more parallax with scope came, do same test without scope cam to see if group still spreads to an inch.

The intention of this video was to see if there was any POI change when changing barrels. As you can see there was a fair bit of wind & other variables. The only way to truly test this theory would be to have the action locked into a vise & shoot in a controlled environment.
I shot the Impact at EBR and was impressed with its accuracy. In the Extreme event I shot a 447 with 7X during qualifying, then got duped by the wind in the final and fell to 13th place overall (still not to shabby).
So what made me want to shoot a brand new untested rifle at the biggest competition of the year?... This target I shot at 100 yards with the .25 caliber 33.9g pellets

Impressive.. That's why you give some of the best reviews.... your accuracy makes the review count..Did you shoot a group like that, ( in the pic you posted) with the same test in the video ? Could you shoot a group like that with the .30 cal barrel and the .25 with no scope came , just a cam set to the side of target and back view behind you, to which the scope cam would not affect your shooting ? (I know how much they do affect the shooting!) Pulling the barrel in and out like you did in your video ? Just would like to know if the rifle is going to spread an inch over 50 yards with same barrel just from taking it down and putting it in the case then pulling it back out to take a shot when i need it with it being test by you looking with your eye and your trusted accuracy ? I'm just saying get rid of the scope came and show us some accuracy with you natural ability..
