Well Said Z, as Always. Unfortunately Most of us are getting ripped off, and we put up with it for whatever reason.
I wonder why people make a bigger deal of issues with the FX Impact that with other guns.
I think in some cases there is some jealousy involved. That is to be expected with an expensive gun that certain people have made very bold claims about (like “the most accurate ever”). There are also people (myself included) that are getting sick of the general poor quality control in expensive air rifles and lack of high end fittings. This doesn’t just apply to FX though.
My memories might be a little rose-tinted but I think there was a time where paying $1,500+ for an air gun meant you were buying something high-end. For the extra cash you could expect nice Walnut, hand finishing, careful quality control, a pristine appearance and factory fine tuning etc. You would certainly not worry if it could hold air or not. A $500 Marauder can hold air.
Lately I have been wondering what we are paying the extra $700-$2000 for over an entry level PCP rifle. At least the FX Impact is a new design so you can put some of it down to teething issues. The Ataman Ultra Compact, while new to America, has been out for years and has the worst quality control I have seen on a PCP rifle at any price range. It really is appalling. My Cricket 25 needed 3 parts replacing in the first 6 months (from new). The inletting on every Mutant Shorty stock is not cut straight. The wood on a Vulcan is a plain as the most basic entry level guns.
We need manufacturers across the board to start testing their products properly. I usually find an issue within seconds of opening the box. It’s not rocket science. $1500 Guns that don’t work should never see a customer. Also, if they are going to use wood on a $1,500 air gun, it should be a nicely figured Walnut, not the $15 plain junk most of them are using.
Thats impressive
.22 with 18 grainers
125 bar I have an after market smooth twist on it that 3 inches longer than stock berral for extra power and shots
That is great, is it a 25 or a 22? The reg is set to what pressure?
Vulcan shooting perfect now 930 FPS 41 shots all is good
we know that. just like when you messed with your reg on the Vulcan. I told you to sell the reg tester
some guys just don’t listen.
now you have got a 1700$ worth of a headache/ticking Impact timebomb.
That was me I was having trouble with accuacy. I’ve solved my probelm though. That was dumb idk what I was thinking. I had a screw loose loctite it and everything is all good.

Years back I was jumping on every new pcp (I admit it was stupid but it was what it was)…
Then after a lemon buy, a really terrible experience where I’ve thrown my money literally out of the window I said now it’s finished.
Since then I wait patiently for real field reports and genuine customer reviews and finally ONLY IF ALSO the price is reasonable and not a rip off then I put it on my wish list.
One thing to remind, new airguns will never end, so no reason to hurry.
