    Tuning So the newer impacts have two transfer ports you can choose from?

    I purchased my FX Impact MK II 600mm STX w/PP .22cal back in March. Mine has the two transfer ports. In fact, recently after cleaning and reinstalling the barrel, I inadvertently installed with the smaller transfer port down. I thought I has broken the rifle as FPS was dramatically reduced. I...

    air rifle vs. rimfire

    Interesting topic. I have many 22LR rifles. Ruger 10/22, X-Ring with Ridd match barrel and trigger on a Magpul synthetic stock and a CZ 455. The Ruger 10/22 is a plinker, not a hunter or target quality. The X-Ring was an experiment and it's a shooter. It will easily shoot 1/2" groups at...

    FX Impact Group POI Shifting

    Ok, I see what you meant now. Yes, I screwed the shroud down completely and snugged it up by hand. When I looked earlier at the shroud, the opening where the shroud fits onto the liner sleeve, it appeared that there was some kind of adhesive dried up on the inner surface of the shroud. This...

    FX Impact vs Mavrick???

    4 ounces, wow that would be too low for me. I’m use to no less than 2 lbs (16 ounces) on rim fire pistols and rifles. So the FX Impact’s trigger feel very light to me.

    FX Impact Group POI Shifting

    For now my only purpose is to eliminate as many fuzzy tail tree rats as possible and every once in a while a crow or two. I don’t have immediate access to large tracks of land to shoot on everyday and I’m not interested in hunting larger game so I’m good with a single air rifle at this time for...

    Wait, maybe I don’t want to know. You might ruin my opinion, lol.

    FX Impact vs Mavrick???

    @ Odoyle, what’s is wrong with the Impact’s trigger. It’s no different from the trigger on my FX Streamline. Both are very crisp and light.

    NEW FX MAVERICK: Any thoughts?

    I’m not sure what niche FX is attempting to fill with the Maverick. I guess only time will tell if it’s a winner for both the buyer and FX. At $1599 for the Compact and $1699 for the Sniper both are still out of the hands of most folks. If the price for a FX Maverick vs an Impact is the...

    FX Impact Group POI Shifting

    I’ll try again tomorrow with the shroud removed to see if it’s cause by lead fouling or if the shroud is still causing the POI shift. This brings up a question, is the shroud glued onto the liner sleeve. If so, what glue should I be using, Loc-Tite Blue or something else? I looked at Ernst...

    FX Impact Group POI Shifting

    I believe I have identified the issue. First, I cleaned the liner. To be clear, I’m calling the liner the part that has the lanes or rifling that the pellet engages. I removed the outer-shroud and then I removed the liner from the inter-shroud I used a combination of a bronze 22cal brush...

    FX Impact Group POI Shifting

    At Odolye. This is not my first rodeo. There is nothing wrong with my Hawke Airmax. I have used it competitively in 22lr BR matches and on high power NRA matches out to 600yrds. The MTC scope is new and was purchased to go onto the FX Impact. I might be somewhat new to the air rifle world but I...

    FX Impact Group POI Shifting

    I’ve only used patches but I do have a 22cal bronze brush and the JB bore cleaner. I’ll try that and report back this afternoon with the results

    Does anyone have a torque setting for the grub screw that holds the barrel to the receiver?
