Whats everyone running on their impact would like to see what scope you have, what you mount it on and what height rings you find to work best. Thank you for you time and hope everyone is staying safe.

For the guys with the FX rings what distances are you shooting? Just watched a video from 68 whiskey and they gained 335 or 85 moa of adjustments, i will be shooting 100 yards about and feel like the fx rings aren't needed.

I agree that when shooting only 100 yards or less, you really don't need adjustable rings for reaching the target. However, we have 4 Impacts in my family, and three have the FX No-Limits, and one has Eagle Vision Infinity-30 adjustables. Very worth using in my opinion because they allow you to optically center your scope tube, then set your elevation at your typical shooting distance (we have a 50 yard range, so all are zeroed at 50 yards) by adjusting the mounts, not the turret. If you want to go out to 100 yards, you should have the turret range for that, but it's quick and easy to adjust the rear mount up a bit to re-zero there with the tube still at optical center. Logic tells me it will be better for the scope internals and turret to be operated in the center of its range rather than at the extreme ends of its mechanical limits. Some scopes don't handle that well at all.
To answer the original post question... my Impact has the Eagle Vision Infinity-30 mounts, with a NightForce NX8 4-32 x 50 FFP w/MIL-XT reticle. The other three in my family each have the No-Limits with Hawke Sidewinder 30 6-24 x 56 FFP w/MIL IR reticles.

I say this a lot when people ask this question, and I asked it when I got my first one, but you need to test this for yourself. Your fit may not be the same as mine. Get your scope and your rifle, place it on top using coins, popsicle sticks, or something else you can measure between the rail and the scope. I used stacks of printer paper last time. Measure that and add half your tube diameter and you have it the height rings you want.
For years, I worried about keeping my scopes as low as possible. The first time I ever actually used higher rings, I realized I have been missing out for years. The comfort level of going with higher rings has made shooting much more fun. The last rings I had in my Impact were 1.5” tall with 20MOA. I also had an adjustable cheek piece, to make it perfect.
As far as whether adjustable rings are needed to get to 100, it depends on your scope and the distance at which you zero. The scope I put on it last rifle, zeroed at 50, low mount, no MOA adjustment, could not get to 100 yards with the turrets alone. I had to use the reticle for the remaining. Some scopes, especially tactical scopes nowadays, have tons of elevation travel, but target scopes often don’t have as much. 34mm scopes usually have more as well. I would suggest to get adjustable rings or a mount with built in adjustment, so you have no worries. It only helps.

My new Impact got equipped with my spare scope, a Rudolph 6-24x 50 FFP, with FX mounts. My Crown and Steyr LG110 5.5mm both Run Athlon Midas TACs. The Rudolph is the exact same as the Sightron Siii. Made in Japan with great glass, great reticle. And it is light which I always appreciate.
Macros, you must show me one of your Delta Strykers, please. I have read excellent reviews and it could well be the choice for the Impact.
