when your 750 euro AIR ARMS S510 outmatches your fx impact by far with slugs and pellets reliability consistency and accuracy (.177)...i sold the impact straight away
That’s funny in the Extreme Benchrest and RMAC competitions
2015 FX guns dominate Boss is 1st Bobcat is 2nd
2016 Impact takes 1st
2017 Crown in first Impacts in 2nd and 3rd
2018 Impact takes 2nd, 3rd
2019 Mostly Daystates and a Raws here but the Impact was there as well
2019 RMAC Impact sweeps 1st, 2nd,3rd place in the pro competition.
2020 Lockdown so it’s hard to say what guns won but I expect it was Daystates, Impacts and Raws once again.
I did not see a single S510 even entered in any of these competitions. I wonder how could that be?
Many have trouble tuning the Impact as it can be difficult so they just give up and get rid of them and get another gun. Not a problem and looks like it werqed out very well for you congrats on your great shooting gun. Air Arms makes some very nice guns.
But never think the Impact can't shoot if it winds up in the hands of a decent tuner/shooter. Mine with a 10 shot spread of near 7 and an SD of under 4 shot mostly .5 inch groups at 100 yards for quite some time until I changed out from .25 to .22 barrels now it shoots one hole groups a fifty yards. I have not got it out o 100 yet still tuning.
i think the bottom line is 'unless' youre into top tier competition there are much cheaper options that will perform steller around the home .. unless you just fancy having the best equipment available for that destructive little sparrow haha .. nothing wrong with wanting nice stuff, just be sure its for you .. real easy to get caught up in the online impress somebody thing, ive been guilty, its what 'everybody' does these days ...
