Hello everyone , i am trying to choose one of those two airguns and i dont know which one is better , maybe you could help me out.Revolution has the big advantage for me that it is semi auto , on the other side i saw that the impact is used in extreme benchrest (which i think is a competition where the profesionals gather ... im new to airguns so i dont know much) , which made me believe that it is very accurate (a gun for profesional targetting purposes) and overally outperforms the revolution as a gun.What do you think?

fx impact VS fx revolution

The FX Revolution is fun to shot at beginning but after awhile the thrill is out. The FX Impact is by far more accurate gun and you will never get bored with it.

It's all a trade off and you just have to decide what's best for you. 30 will obviously have the most energy but the pellets are more expensive and you have to order them. 22 and 177 have high shot count and you can buy 22 almost anywhere but they don't have the same energy and they don't buck the wind as much. I went with 22 for the shot count and cheap pellets. I'll probably get a 25 barrel eventually.

Impact in either .25 or .22.
The Revo is neat. I had one for a little while. They can be finicky from day to day. You've said you're new to airguns and the revo could easily drive you nuts.
Honestly, I'd steer you away from the Impact as well, unless you can promise to yourself that you won't try to over tune it. I'd point you towards a Wildcat. Pick it up and shoot it with no temptation to adjust it.
But, if it's Impact or Revo... Impact!
Happy Choosing!

Yeah what Tom said.. The Impact is a great gun if you have the skillz to tune it a bit. And straight out of the box, it needs work to get it to perform up to the standards you hear people talking about.
IMHO, starting out, if you can spend the money without it hurting, I would get the Wildcat. Great gun and like Tom said, no temptation to start "tweaking" it. It shoots and does everything as advertised. It is about the same price as the Impact but shorter I think. Also, I would say the 25 cal is the best. It is heavy enough to have real knock down power and carry the energy to the targets out at 100 yards. The 22 cal has a greater shot count so you'll spend less air, but it just lacks a certain something. (to me)
Of course, just my opinion.
Best of luck choosing your new friend.
Hope that helps.

I had a Monsoon for a long time, loved the semi feature, but my tastes migrated to short & light pcps, and to .25 for hunting, & Frederik won't offer a shorter or .25 semi because of what happened in NZealand years ago (so i've heard)

I really like my .30 impact. I have the side shot mags and do two full mags for a fillup.
Thing is an absolute laser and a blast to shoot.
