First Impressions 700mm smooth twist X

[hvack]

I just got my 30 cal 700 mm x barrel on my impact, and have got to do some shooting . I must say I am very impressed so far . Hammer on max valve limiter on 4 reg at 140 bar. I get the 45 grainers moving at 920 fps 50 grainers at 875( 84-85 foot lbs). The 45 grainers are a little tighter groups. It is stacking them in one hole at 50 yards. I will take it out to 100 yards and beyond later. The standard dev is a lot better than my 25 cal regular smooth twist and it is more accurate ( 10 shot group es 2 sd 8 ). Has more of a kick as well .
What are you guys experience with your x barrels ? What speed have you found to be the most accurate ?

Thanks for the feedback. Waiting for a 700mm .30 barrel and there is little feedback on the forum. Looking forward to seeing your results at 100y. Thanks

Ya I know ! lol Before I bought one I kept searching for feedback and you are right not a lot. That's why I felt compelled To start this thread . Hopefully this will fill up with more feedback as people start getting there barrels in. I will get a slug liner when they come out as well ! I have never had a 30 cal air rifle before . Always had 25 cals. Man oh man is there a lot more power and kick. Kinda feels like firearm territory ! lol I've have other fx guns with smooth twist barrels , like bobcat and the longer x barrel feels different and you can see the groups are definitely tighter not just maybe but definitely . Like a laser beam. I will update on the longer ranges later .

I just ordered a .30 700mm from AoA. Should have it in a few weeks. Can't wait.

Now I want a 30 cal. 920 fps that's awesome. 

 

[hvack]

Yes 920 fps with 45 g . reg set at 140 . If I turn the reg to max 150 it would be faster but I am thinking to leave well enough alone since its stacking them. 

 

[hvack]

Look at how much bigger the 30 probe is over the 25.

 

[hvack]

The stackable ldc on the end works , but its a little loud so I took them

off of my 25 and put all them on and it is quieter . Long but quieter .

 

[cootertwo]

Yup, those look like some pretty good numbers there, I'd leave it alone too!

Just bought the fix impact and got it in .30 but only the standard 600mm barrel. Now to spend more $$ wife is not going to be pleased. Better sell one of my other guns.

Here is my groups at 65 yards . Little wind bipod in front , mono in back . I have also had this impact tuned by ernest right before he went fx on us. lol He did really well on the trigger work and action.
