Pull the Trigger on an Impact X .30, Next Steps?

[mtnGhost]

Did a deal overnight with another member for a .30 with a 700mm barrel! I plan to hit the ground running - here's what I'm looking at:

• New gauges - I already have a new 28mm Huma ready to go, I'll get another one in 23mm soon
• High capacity mag kit - This seems more like a nice to have to me vs a must have. Longer term goals would be shooting slugs, undecided on caliber - might keep this stock
• Scope - I got this covered
• Bi-pod rail extension? I've heard the Impact is a little unstable without one - I have a bunch of Picatinny / Weaver parts laying around, any thoughts on how long a rail extension would need to be? (I think the one I have is 4-5" long)

What else would you consider as must have / must do modifications? I'm not a picky shooter (I can shoot anything and not complain as long as the platform delivers).

Nice!!!

I'd have to get this if I had an Impact.

Same issue with my Crown....bipod attachment location not forward enough.

Wow, that looks incredible! I wasn't thrilled with the idea of stacking a Picatinny riser with an extension for my Atlas, adding this to my list! Thanks!

Lots of air, lots of ammo...

I know a guy that makes this bipod mounting solution https://www.airgunnation.com/topic/picatinny-clamp-for-480cc-carbon-fiber-bottles/page/2/#post-419476

I hear he has a lot of happy customers.

Ha, clever man! That's a good (re)use of space, measurably lighter than solid aluminum too I bet.

That's a win over what I have laying around. Every ounce (or lack thereof) counts in my pack..

I'll PM you shortly

I bought Heavy Impct’s picatinny mount for my Crown, it would work for the Impact too. It moves the bipod mounting area forward about 6-7 inches and is very solid. I really like it so far. Definitely worth taking a look at.
