FX FX guns WITHOUT POI Shift Issues

[bchannell]

I have a Crown mk2, Dream Tac and a Wildcat and no problems. I did have an Impact M3 that suffered from the valve sticking and the first shots low, but that was it. I had a Impact X (mk2) w/ pp that was flawless.
It's a real thing but my belief is, it is luck of the draw on UL barrel guns and how they fit in the action. The Impacts, that's another story. That long valve is a problem, sooner or later. The Mav/ WC is, to my mind the much better rifle. My WC will hit any reasonable power level that an Imp can. The Imp has more top end but also more problems. The WC is a much better design.

FX could stop the whole mess with barrels by offering the option of solid barrels or at least factory glued carbon fiber sleeved barrels. My 25 DT has a custom one and it is rock solid. The guy who sold it to me said IIRC, that he accidentally used a std liner (not superior) and it is a benchrest quality shooter. So he/we won the barrel lottery for sure.

0.30 caliber tuned to 60 yards by Mr. Buck at Cape Fear Airguns LLC. Scope DOPE has two zeros (elevation settings), one for 20 yards indoors the other at 50 yards outdoors for N50. No POI issues at either distance and no first shot issues.

600mm barrel, Air Valve = 3, Macro = 16, Micro = 3.5, Regulator outputs = 145/115 bar, FPS = don't care, only 5 round edge to edge dispersion group size matters for N50.

0.177 caliber tuned by me to less than 12 ft-lbs for WRABF Lite Air Rifle. Scope DOPE has two elevation settings, one for 20 yards indoors, the other for 25 meters outdoors. Same DOPE for three + years. No POI shift or first shot issues.

600mm barrel, Air Valve = 3.0, Macro = 1.0, Micro = 1.5, Regulator outputs = 120/70 bar, FPS = don't care as long as whatever so called "accurate chrono" used to check FPE indicates </= 12. Again only 5 round dispersion group size matters in WRABF.
