First Evening On The New Perm.

To be honest the Impact is very quiet and certainly quieter than the Rapid. I will look into a mod but it is not so simple as FX have a complete barrel shroud and mod combined at a price but I need to compare the noise with a normal sub 12 to get a comparison. I have not asked anyone else to fire it while I am down range which is the next step to see what the noise level is really like.

 

The jury is out on this one as yet.

 

Dave.

I zero at 25mt simply because my rfd has a 25mt indoor range and I pop in there several times a week so easy to check zero. I may well take it out to 50mt as zero now that I have some better area to do tests in but the East Coast is highly prone to wind so getting the day with no wind for testing is not so easy.

I found myself in the same postion after buying my air rifle which also has a full barrel shroud and built in mod ,the guy in the shop told me not to bother getting the after factory mod at the time .I didnt notice that it loud in fact I thought it was nice and quiet but found after several trips to my permission when I had shot one of several rabbits sitting out together, the others would move off, once they heard the report ,so I started to look up you tube at videos showing the type of my rifle firing with and without the extra mod even though I wasnt 100% sure I decided to buy one .What Ive found is there is quite a marked differents when I fire the Aas510 without the extra mod so Im pleased I did so .Ive put more game in the bag as a result .People have also remarked they hear next to nothing down range in fact they dont even know Im shooting which keeps everybody happy .You have made a great choice on the cal and make of rifle ,once you master it with more use Im sure you will be very pleased .ATB

 

I think perhaps you misunderstand, I bought the rifle in January but used it for a month prior to that in the range and have been using it for hunting pigeon ,rats, rabbits and crows with a few squirrels chucked in all this year.

Sorry Phil ,seems I did ,its a new permission not a new rifle you are posting about .That reminds of what I tell the Mrs when she asks " is that a NEW rifle you have there " to which I always reply" no had it for ages " even if I just brought it last week .
