Early thoughts on Impact / First 50 yard group

[Eric.G]

So I received an Impact yesterday morning and all I can say is WOW. So far it really is living up to most of the things I've dreamt of for my version of a perfect air gun. Some guns just "feel right" and for me, this one does more so than any other I've ever shot. I wasn't expecting this considering the form follows function design.
I haven't really got to put her through her paces yet, but after mounting a new scope, and taking a clips worth of sighters/warm ups, this was my first group. Ten shots at 50 yards off of a bag placed across the hood of my Bad Boy buggy.

Very nice. Good testimonial for the Impact.

Nice shooting Eric, I can't wait to get my hands on the Impact... It's seating in UPS processing center 5 miles from me and can't deliver until next Monday due to Thanksgiving holiday.

Excellent group! Looks to me like 0.5in, CTC and considering that it was 10 shots too! Can't wait to see you post at 75 and 100 yards.

Black or silver gun? Post Pictures, i want to see final production gun. I'm thinking of getting silver, but seeing michael's silver gun on youtube, it doesn't have the black lettering on block... fire/safe/max fill, fx logo. There are recessed impressions but it isnt colored in. I hope it is colored in on final production gun.

Jack- I feel your pain, I was worried the same thing was going to happen to me,but I got lucky. 

fe - I'm going to go back out to the ranch on Friday and shoot some longer distances. I'm pretty unlimited out there on range so we'll see how far out she can reach.

 

[Eric.G]

Jclee - I got black, I was torn between the two and ended up just going with what was available. I'll take some better pictures tomorrow but here's one I had on my phone for now.

That's so bad ass. And it comes with the case, correct? 

I'll be 3 months before I can put money down on mine, but woo wee that is nice. I was thinking silver, but now that I see that black... PSH

Nice shooting
So what did the extra barrel and probe end up costing? I got a ball park figure when I last talked to someone @ AoA.
By the way the Cricket .30 I got from you is very nice and super accurate. Thanks for everything.

Pretty sweet!

Are the combo-caliber packages (.22/.25, etc) readily available, or you had to order them specified with two calibers? How much was the entire package if I may ask?

 

[30cal]

AWESOME!!!

 

[Eric.G]

Swing - Yes, they are all coming with the hard case. Though it's a lot better than what most manufacturers supply (ie. nothing) in all honesty I can't say I'm overly impressed with it. It's fairly flimsy plastic with low density cut out foam and egg crate foam in the lid. I would rather have payed slightly more up front and ended up with a high quality Pelican type case with good high density foam. CMR & Fe - I bought mine as a package deal from one of the dealers AoA distributes to (I'm hesitant to name names as I think they may be a non sponsoring dealer and I'm not clear on the details with that here) so in my case I don't have an exact price break down. However, I think the $440.00 per extra barrel + $90.00 for a large magazine has been pretty well established. If you break it down, I that's what I payed + the $1900.00 base + scope & rings etc. Happy to hear you're enjoying the Cricket Chris. I can't wait to get a .30 barrel for the Impact as it's become my favorite caliber and I'm without one at the moment.

Eric, What's that Fx pouch in the gun case? Did Fx supply the Impact with tool kit too?

 

[Tominco]

That's a pellet pouch that , I believe, attaches to your belt for carrying in the field. 
Don't know if they're included or not.
