villaman 9,983 Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Picked up my new FX Impact yesterday .25 FAC 700 mm barrel . Pellet testing and setting up with a fine tune yesterday afternoon with AA FIELDS 25.4 gr and JSB heavies 34 gr . AA fields running @ 990 fps just over 55 ft/lbs and 34 gr running@ 892 fps 60 ft/lbs REG SETTING 145 bar on both pellets IMO THESE IMPACTS ARE ONE OF THE BEST FAC AIRGUNS , if not the best . HOW MANY OTHER GUNS CAN YOU TUNE LIKE THAT, APART FROM THE CROWN AND DREAMLINER !! 6 2 Quote Link to post

And that's the problem with fx there are other 25 fac airguns that just don't need to be messed about with adjusting regs and hammer springs different barrel liners they shoot good strate out box Quote Link to post
villaman 9,983 Posted June 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Before buying another impact I looked at other FAC guns but nothing can any where near Fx impact 1 Quote Link to post
villaman 9,983 Posted June 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 I just love The adjustability of it yes they can have issues but all airguns have something which could be improved on 1 Quote Link to post
Rabid 1,936 Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 I’ve often considered one but cannot see what it can do compared to the cricket, and the amount of problems I’ve heard just puts me right off them. As you say, all of them have areas to be improved upon, you makes your choice and if it suits you all well and good. now get out there and enjoy it. 1 Quote Link to post

villaman 9,983 Posted June 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 I think this the last air gun I will be buying for sometime , might be even the last one ever as well . my next adventure will be rimfire guns , and that’s been a mine field to what to choose, but some much cheaper than top end pcp airguns 1 Quote Link to post
