I think this
barrel-bump-POI quirk (BBP quirk) should be mentioned to all new PCP buyers when they ask for buying advice on our forums....
I remember being super excited when I began
shopping for my first PCP and discovered the
Gauntlet — a gun with great aftermarket parts and modding potential — and super low price.
Then, in one post I read in a short comment about
the BBP quirk — and that immediately put the gun off my list....
Because the BBPS quirk is both a
very serious problem (change to POI = miss the shot) — and
very common problem (transporting the gun, "parking" the gun, bumping the gun during walking or hunting).
Then the
Dreamline jumped to the top of my list. Until..., you guessed, a kind forum poster advised me of flopping barrels.
Off the list, again. Now we're up from $300 to $1000. And still this serious and common problem of the BBP quirk.
Now, I never would have dreamt that a $2000 gun would have this same very serious and very common problem!
Maybe I'd expect that in a specialized benchrest gun, but not in a "tacticool bullpup" (= "rough tactical action, to be taken everywhere due to its compact size")....
Simply...
¡¡UNTHINKABLE!! Now, again, this is my personal opinion here, your dream gun might very well be different. So, here it goes:
The
Impact was always my (unattainable) dream gun.
Was. Not anymore.
I need something much less fragile, much less delicate.
Might it be that the
F in FX stands for
FRAGILE?
And the
ED in EDgun stands for
ENDLESSLY
DURABLE?
I don't own either brands, but from seeing the video, and reading many posts, my personal conclusion is:
An FX can be great and very precise gun — if I treat it like
fragile goods.
An EDgun is made to
endure the rough & tough of my hunting adventures.
Just my opinion.
You have the right to yours.
