As I do every time b4 leaving the house to shoot squirrels, I checked my zero on my Impact Mk2 .22 600mm. This morning it was, as almost every other morning, a group anyone should be happy with. As I walked back from the target it occurred to me that I ought to take a picture of the group and share it with those of you on the fence of trying to decide if you should pull the trigger on buying an impact. I have had this gun for almost exactly a year now and it has been a true pleasure to own.
I almost passed on buying the Impact because of all the negative stories I have read regarding this air rifle. I know part of it is a "no news is good news" situation. With so many rifles sold compared to other rifles on the market, if even a small percentage of users post their issues it makes you wonder what the truth about these Impacts really is. My belief is the vast majority of users are like me, they shoot their Impacts often and they are accurate and reliable and a joy to own.
The group pictured is typical, not exceptional, from my experience (50 yds. NSA .218 31.2 gr. Superior Slug Liner at 850 ft/sec wind 5-10 L>R)
