I WISH that I owned both of these for this comparision , LOL! But , seriously , both have a similar configuration / design . Both have tremendous accuracy. Both have high shot count and power. Sooo... as far as the differences I can see / hear about these two seems to be;
Impact M3 - does not have that "ping" next to your ear from the hammer and spring when firing. Does the RTI prophet? some owner please confirm this either way- not a real big deal , but we are nitpicking , after all one is parting with 2 grand for the gun. ( I am aware there is a several hundred dollar difference in price between them)
RTI prophet - less o rings , probably easier to work on . Again , need actual owners to chime in here.
Both have what appears to be floating barrel design , Does POI get moved when barrel is "bumped" slightly? Friends of mine routinely use barrel bands to help stabilize their FX guns. Does RTI also have that vulnerability?
Impact M3 - has FX barrels that do what they do - and do it very well. RTI prophet uses what? LW barrels or CZ? I know CZ seems more flexible with wider array of pellets but both will stack pellets fantastic once you find THE pellet.
So , which do you favor , and why? I feel FX can be "overated" , they are great , but are they THAT great?
