    The final chapter :- Two new Impact Mk3 guns arrived today at the rfd, both were checked for power through the chrono, 11.5 average. 200 JSb pellets and my good friend is over the moon with pellet on pellet grouping...........................................thank fcuk for that so on the ferals tonight.

    The final outcome. Sportsman could find no fault then after a further chat with my pal, they went back into their test range and the gun was producing a shotgun pattern. They changed every part they could but nothing stopped the issue to the point that FX told the Sportsman to scrap that gun. Two new guns are being sent to the rfd next week and my pal is to pick one of them. I have to say that the rfd has not done a good job in terms of reporting the issues as Sportsman tech team were unaware of some of the problems. With a bit of luck, this should be an end to this on going saga w

    Ah, I didn't know that, I thought it was normal power, pretty stupid is that if the idea was to let them grow into a full size stock but only half the power. I am sure when I chatted with the BSA rep in my rfd, he never said they were reduced power, I bet they dont sell many in that case. Phil

    They do make the Ultra in a junior version as well, a normal size stock can be bought when needed.

    Love shooting ferals and so it seems does your grandson who appears to be holding on to your hw rather tightly me thinks NP. ? I picked up a couple of pigeon deeks which have been painted with more white areas just like ferals often are and with a telescopic pole and tree hangers for lofting deeks, we can just reach some of the barn gutters, they really work well. going to try it with crows next time as we get plenty of the buggers which clear off after one shot so perhps it may help, we will see.

    As fans of FX Guns there is no alternative to Sportsman, ASI the previous importer were excellent in their after sales service but this lot can simply afford to give big orders to manufacturers like FX, CZ, ATA, Pard and others more is the pity....... Phil

    The saga continues, the Impact returned to the rfd today with my pal and myself waiting. First job to test through the Skan chrono, first couple of shots reading 9.6fpe but then went up to 11.45fpe average for another 10 shots, all looking good. Tested Exact 8.44 then Heavy at 10.34 but both produced poor groups, now this was a surprise to say the least as Sportsman Gun Centre had send back three targets shot at 25yds as as tight as can be, about the size of my little finger nail. Utter bollocks, what gun they used is unknown but it was not my pal's gun. between the two of us we sho

    In the UK, Hatsan are not an expensive gun in fact they are very much an economy based gun and not worth messing about with. It would be cheaper and much more effective to simply buy another Hatsan in .22 as the task would need good gunsmith to carry out the work, just not worth the expense. Phil

    Went to the rfd with my pal as the gun arrived back from Sportsman Gun Centre with all the issues now sorted.............................NOT. First job to test groups with different pellets at 25mt, all rather like a shotgun pattern with the exception of JSB Exact Heavy which were better but not good more like just about passable, 20mm group !!!!. I took my Snowpeak .22 to rezero and was getting tight cloverleaf groups and on a gun that cost me about £450 so compare the results to a gun costing £1850 and needless to say I rezeroed my Wildcat fac with pellets again, single hole groups w

    Are you available Mitch, may be needed sooner rather than later. ?

    Tell me about it Jimmy.

    We have just picked up a new rabbit perm which has the most prolific warren area I have ever seen so last night I popped over there, this time on my own with both the Wildcat fac and my Tikka .22lr rimmy, not to bore you with details, it was only a short session but still had 17 in just under 2hrs and before darkness kicked in. This afternoon, my wife was out seeing friends (ladies that lunch) so after tinkering with my pal's pistol, I decided to pop round to my dairy farm to shoot a few crows that along with the pigeon get stuck into the cattle feed. First shot on the barn roof, nothing,

    You have a point mitch........

    Oh my god no, we are old farts so hand pumps would likely give us a heart attack ?. We have several air tanks each so always use them. It has a max pressure of 250bar and the air cylinder is not so big so if you don't have a tank, a hand pump should be fine.

    It looks superb Jimmy and so much more detail in the wood showing on the big screen rather than the ones you sent to my phone. The only issue with this gun is the stock...................... no thumbhole................... ? Phil

    My pal just bought a Snowpeak PP750 pcp pistol, we checked it a the shop on the skan unit, 5.2fpe. I fitted a laser torch on top and set it for 10mt, amazingly accurate, 6 shot mag, pellet on pellet rested on a bag with the slide out stock thingy pressed against my gut, staying very stable. My pal works in a rural site office where the rats and rabbits come through the surrounding fence, already taken several rats and a rabbit eating one of his plants just by the fence so roll on the cold weather as the rat population increases as they come for the bird seed fallen on the ground. I really e

    It was shooting the wmr barrel all the time at first when my pal owned it but I only have the hmr barrel on but from what I recall, the wmr barrel shot well.

    Not used the .22lr for a while preferring the .22 fac air but started to use it again with a smile on my face. I think I am going to sell the Sako Quad HMR/ Wildcat mod with spare .22 WMR barrel as it is just used, not one shot this year. I have always fancied the .22 10/22 semi auto but heard bad things about them jamming etc. Phil

    I agree with you Jimmy, I would never buy a sub 12 version, what is the point of all that adjustment for sub 12, it is a gun designed for full power not 12fpe. Phil

    My .25 fac was as good as gold as well.

    Welcome to the mad house. I don't think he will take much notice as the thread was started in 2008, dorment since then and I don't think he is on here any more. Phil

    Well the gun is now back with Sportsman to sort the issues including an air leak somewhere, not impressed and it was not mine but my buddy who the gun belonged to is so pissed off, he waited 6 weeks to get it then sending it back doubles the pain. Fingers crossed they will sort it.
  25. philpot
    Can't agree with you regarding fac versions Jimmy...........................anyway how are you doing mate.
