Have never held one. Leshiy on the other hand is just robust and has some uniqueness to it. Good luck making your choice.

Eagle vision infinity mounts. There’s about 2mm clearance over the offset mod. Works like a charm.

Good luck

I did watch that video and recall Ed saying that he got 40 ish shots but carried on shooting after the regged pressure.

Yes the stock washer is still glued into place. When I put the action onto the stock (without tightening the stock screw) it’s almost perfectly parallel ie. Whitin a tolerance I could live with.

Only when I tighten the stock screw, does the gap (between the offset mod and front gauge cap) slowly start closing in. I did try using a thin…Read more

Would just like to add my 2 cents worth… Here in South Africa, the fx impact sells for around US$ 3000, yes THREE THOUSAND US DOLARS…..

Did this fix actually work?

I get some great strings like 4-7 fps ES, Then the next string is 13 fps ES. Average speed around 903 fps.

Then after like 300 shots average speed goes down to 901, then 200 shots later, 898 fps average speed. Seems the HST backs itself ever so slightly….
