Anyone else see this YouTube view?

Really don't care much about the micrometer. Don't care about most of the stuff brought up here. All I know is that I can shoot MOA groups at range. Never had another gun that can do that. Don't need the South African Boys to prove range or anything like that, I've seen the gun do it. Now, do they miss and not upload the misses, I'm sure they do miss and that stays on the cutting room floor, but results still speak for themselves.

My Gen 1 is anything but perfect, but for shooting results, I'll take it any day over just about anything else I've had.

So this guy titles his video with a logical fallacy (Ad Hominem attack) and expects anyone to have the slightest shred of respect for him? You would think that a person of his age would do a bit better than grade-school debate tactics, i.e, "you're a dum dum". Maybe he thinks he's a rap star or celebrity and has to start a "beef" to get any views. What a jerk.

I've not watched all of this fellow's video, and probably will not, I tire easily. But, personality and prejudices aside, his technical knowledge is pretty good, certainly better than......well, most reviewers. I'm not in his class of FX hater, but, except for the Royale/Boss platform, I'm not a fan, and I share most of his observations that I heard. But again, I didn't hear it all, and I might believe differently if I did. I think individual owner reviews are the ones worth reading or watching. IMO, these broad-based Youtube things are generally put out there by one of two types: someone with an ax to grind, or, someone who needs to please as many folks as possible, because it is tied to his livelihood, and needs to keep getting the freebies to test. Guess I'm just old (no, I AM old) and cynical.

Perhaps too, he's suffering from the same thing that killed the Swiss Watch industry. When the Swatch watch (read digital) came out, the Swiss makers didn't get that watches were for telling time, not for the little teeny gears and things that made them go. Basically they thought quality was associated with the traditional way of making watches when the masses just want to know what time it is.

He's thinking that his micrometer states the quality via variances in the materials. However, those variances don't seem to negatively impact shooting, so the barrel, even with those variances shoots 1 moa groups, which is what I want.

So all the quality whines he comes up with don't matter as I bought an Impact for consistent shooting at range, and that's exactly what I got. The ability to hit 1 MOA groups at 75 and 100 yards.

So if the definition of quality is the tolerances, yeah, in this case FX sucks. If the definition of quality is hitting a target at 100 yards consistently, FX shines. Depends on your definition.

My issue with the FX line is the liner/sleeve rifles, the post-Royale guns. And I don't know if it has to do with the level of precision in parts and construction, or the basic design. I had a Crown, and it would shoot small groups consistently, easy MOA out to 50 yards, which is about as far as I shoot. The problem was shifting POI. I handle my rifles with care, but even with my normal handling, I had no confidence in where the rifle was going to shoot on a given day. If you're interested in shooting small groups, not a problem, but if the first shot needs to go into a squirrel's head, big problem. Mine was an earlier generation Crown, so maybe the newer liner support system was a fix, but I hear mixed reports. If I was confident about it, I would buy a Dreamline Classic, maybe someday. And Saltlake58, I agree with your observation regarding how some folks get carried away with assessing quality on parameters that are irrelevant. Kind of like the high fidelity freaks who brag about the frequencies that their equipment can produce, well beyond my hearing range.

This guy is a troll and the best way to deal with trolls is to ignore them. Putting up this topic is helping this troll. It would be best if this topic be taken down. Nothing good will come from talking about this guy.
