Just got a new fx impact in .22 cal . I also have a wildcat in .22 and bobcat in .25 . The gun is shooting to right I have to adjust the scope to extreme left to the end of clicks to zero the gun . I have tried different mounts and scopes but the result is same . Please if any body could help cause the dealer I got it from is refusing to take it back or help me .
Fx impact problem need help
- Thread starter Raja
- Start date
For an almost $2,000 gun the dealer should at less help trouble shoot the problem. Who is the dealer if you don't mind me asking.

Either you have a damage barrel or miss align scope rail. Try unscrew the scope rail from the Impact and check for alignment and tighten the rail back on the gun. The 3 screws that hold the rail does allow some adjustment.

Very good advice Jack!
Also try:
- Hand loading a few pellets
- Checking the probe to make sure it is secure and/or for any damage

If it is shooting in a group then it's definitely a rail alignment issue. If it is scattering the pellets then there can be multiple issues as advised above.

Great tips jack . I tried the rail it allows adjustment from the back by adjusting the rail to the left from the back I got the scope almost centered . But the frount single nut stays at the same pisition . Will it shot right at multiple distances after doing this adjustment .

Elevation can also be adjusted by putting shims under the rail. Now if you optically centre your scope using V block method and then sight in your scope all the way to half inch at 50 yards using scope rail right and left adjustments and shiming for elevation, you can get best out of your scope and gun combo.
You should use scope turrets only for very fine adjustments. Just a few clicks.
I am 100% sure about it.

I know about optically center my scope thank you Raja and mubhaur.
How many mm should I shim under the rail.
Is that mean I just have to unscrew the screws in the back and set some shims right there ?
Thanks

Hi gc
You would be far better shimming the scope in the mounts ,otherwise you may get a 'set' in the rail plus he may be hard to keep a costant tension on the rail screws

Chairgun has a shimming calculator. You can also shim for windage. Use a soda can and cut it up. Of course, this is assuming your FX Impact is not defective.

If you haven't already, try re-mounting the scope rings and take the scope out of the rings first.
I had a gun that seemingly shooting to the left a while ago. I moved the scope from another rifle without taking it out of the rings. I nearly sent the gun back because nothing seemed to help. Then I re-mounted the rings and it was fixed. I felt a little silly but I got over it eventually.

I centered my crosshairs and still had to push the front of the rail to the right and back to the left as far as I could. Still had to use a full turn on windage to center the shot. I could use a shin on the front also. Just haven't done it yet.

Also check the scope mount screws for front and real are fixed one side . I mean either both in left side or both right side .Fixing different side will cause misalignment of the scope .
