One of the small o/rings in the regulator. Or change it out to the Huma. You should not have to do it, that's the only solve. I don't think those factory regs . Can handle all the pressure all the time.

I would rather take 2, 3 dry shots before starting a shooting session than to try fixing it and making it worse. I think it happens in many guns but in cse of an Impact the creep gets noticed due to a reg guage.
I have a huma reg in my Marauder. The pressure read the reg pressure. I set to 1800psi and it holds 1800 psi for weeks and even months without shooting. No leaks or creeps. So it's not cause the impact has a reg gauge that people are now noticing. Imo for a $2000 gun it should hold pressure for a month before it creep a bit. But people having creep like overnight.
Just my opinion yes it's a top dollar gun and should be perfect in each respect, but in this case the headache linked with all the effort to fix this issue is far more than just shooting 2 dry shots before every shooting session and enjoying.
I also have a reg in a marauder. Im not even sure what brand it is. Its not a Huma or Lane. That I know. I think I payed like $60 for it. You know what. It works just fine and has no creep. Have not shot the thing in about 3 months at least.
I agree that a top dollar airgun "should be perfect in each respect". This is why I stay away from FX airguns.
I understand. But in my case, of the four FX rifles I own, three have the stock regulators and all three work just fine.
Lol, that last line is funnyThe best solution, buy a Red Wolf!! I have several top shelf, regulated rifles, RAW, Steyr, Crown. All are great rifles, and frankly, I have had no issue with reg creep. Being kind of casual about all this, I might have simply not noticed. But, the last few months of Red Wolf ownership has changed my perspective. I've never enjoyed a rifle as much. It might not quite shoot with the RAW and Steyr under match conditions, and with a really good shooter at the trigger, but neither applies to me. I know this is off topic, sorry, but it's second bourbon time here and I'm just skimming the forum.
It depends what guns you have. I've owned quite a few different guns that didn't have reg creep like the Evol, Taipan Vets, Crickets, Uragans and R5Ms ive had others but these are just off the top of my head. Now temp difference there are issues for sure but can't get around no matter what.You cannot eliminate creep. There are two stopgap solutions that I wish manufacturers would implement, in particular to solve the hunting issue that nervoustrig mentioned. The first would be to have a mechanical valve that you could use to isolate the tank supply when you’re done shooting. The second would be a push button valve on the plenum that you could use to bleed a little plenum air after the gun has been stored and allowed to creep.
