    Ruger Impact Max

    jimziky, No dovetails. The plastic is a critical component for securing the rear barrel screw and nut. No way to eliminate it.

    Ruger Impact Max

    So true jimziky. Ignorance is bliss! Your Ruger appears to be slightly different than mine. These Impact Max rifles have very nice wood stocks. You said you mounted the scope directly onto the barrel/piston assembly. I can't do that because there is a nylon piece that holds the assembly to...

    Ruger Impact Max

    Appears your knowledge of electronics has paid off! About the recoil, airgunners warn that the recoil will destroy the best of scopes no matter the price if it was designed for center fire weapons. I put a Tasco 3X9X40 AR on mine. Works great for me. Larry

    Ruger Impact Max

    Hi atfsi2 I can't answer your question about the gas piston but concerning the scope I ordered a dot sight but had to return it. The dot wasn't a dot, it was a splat and made it impossible to acquire a target. The only thing to keep in mind is the Ruger Impact Max Elite has a recoil that...

    Ruger Impact Max

    atfsi2 Welcome to affordable air gunning. The Impact Max Elite is a powerful hard hitting and accurate gun and after tuning up the trigger and putting a decent scope on it it will serve you well. The trigger can be tuned-up without removing the trigger assembly from the barrel. I bought my...

    Ruger Impact Max

    Good choice WillieB. You will find the included scope and trigger will need some improvements. Don't let the rough trigger discourage you. To make it smooth a very inexpensive modification will tune up the trigger which involves replacing one of the springs. I found the RWS Superdome 14.3gr...

    Ruger Impact Max

    Thank you Homer, you expressed perfectly what I was thinking. You would think these individuals would welcome anyone into the sport regardless of the price tag on their airgun or country of origin but that appears not to be the case. Very discouraging to young shooters (or any shooter) that ...

    Ruger Impact Max

    Ruger Impact Max

    Were you able to tune your trigger? I got my spring from Tacoma Screw, cut it to length and installed it. The trigger pull is excellent, very smooth and light. I just got a Tasco airgun 3-9 power scope. Waiting for better weather to shoot it in. The Tasco scope (TASCO 3-9X40 AO Air Gun RS...

    Ruger Impact Max disassembly

    Update on my disassembly issue. I finally was able to disassemble my Impact Max without damaging anything. The rear barrel screw threads into a nut inside the stock. By prying out very hard on the barrel while turning the screw it finally backed out. I discovered the screw was stripped due...

    Ruger Impact Max disassembly

    I have the Impact Max .22 and want to remove the trigger assembly for a tune-up. It appears that there are 2 screws that hold the barrel assembly to the stock. I can easily remove the front screw however the rear screw just turns without loosening. I suspect there is a nut that needs to be...

    Ruger Impact Max

    I am somewhat new to airgunning. As a teenager 50 years ago I shot a Benjamin .22 and it was quite impressive for it's power and accuracy. Recently I decided to purchase a Ruger Impact Max .22 at my local Wal-Mart. I never realized a break barrel airgun could deliver the speed and accuracy of...
