Fx impact

I sent my .30 barrel back to AOA for a new one, but they sent it back stating it was "exceptional".......not sure if they meant exceptionally good or exceptionally bad? They told me to loosen the rail mounting screws and re-align it on the gun to fix the scope alignment problem I was having.....looking closely at the rail, it does look like it is not on quite straight. I suppose there might be enough of a gap around the screw holes to allow a slight amount of re-alignment, but haven't tried it yet. Any way, it still does not group for me; about 2" at a hundred yards, but I suppose that is good enough to shoot bunnies at that range; maybe I should try the heavies. My M-rod .25 shoots better so now I use that in the daytime. I removed the scope from my Impact and replaced it with a laser and a flashlight. It is fun shooting from the hip at night at the pesky Wabits that eat everything I plant around here. 
 
I think they need to do something to send a signal to the market that 'Ok, we've fixed all these issues and we think the changes are finally done.". Even then, I'd wait until we get a couple of trusted members to review it and give us the thumbs up. My humble opinion is FX is currently more focused on cranking out quantity and not focused on quality.
 
Glad to see I/m not the only one that could not get enough elevation adjustment out of my scope.....I have to max it out then hold over quite a bit. if I ever put a scope back on, I will try shimming the back of the rail up or re-machine it with a slight taper; I don't like the adjustable rings because they are all too high. Sorry to hear they are discontinuing the sliding shroud, it is one of my favorite features and works well on my gun. Maybe they degrade over time, I have only had mine since April.
