I just got my .25 FX Impact today and it arrived in a short case. I was under the impression they were coming in long cases now so you don't have to assemble and reassemble the gun. Can somebody verify? On a side note, I've been shooting .30 cal FX Boss lately and those .25 seem so puny now.
FX Impact case

- Start date
Long case is what Canadians get, due to the fixed shroud on the Canadian version of Impact.
All others get the same short case.

Thx guys. Sounds like a mixed bag. I guess I'll throw my Impact in the gun safe since I want to leave it assembled.

Mine Impact came with short case was from the first shipment back in November 2015. I shipped my Impact back for service couple week ago and when I was on the phone with Kevin at the service department I ask him about the longer case I saw on the web he told me they did receive a shipment of Impact with longer case but the shipment they are getting now are the shorter case.

I don't know if someone else has problems with the orings but I think is better in a long case since you don't need to assembly every time and is good to have some air inside your gun likewise any other PCP airgun. I have the short case but I rather the long case for this reasons so I will but it. Fx or Plano.

I think having a short case is good, because we are forced to leave the gun unassembled. I haven't experienced any leak since I got mine, this gun has so many O-rings that I prefer removing the air bottle to release the o-rings from the high air pressure.

Indeed, the general consensus is it is bad practice to store guns in their cases anyway. Condensation can be a Biotch.
Oh, and for the record I took delivery on my .25 impact back in January with the short case.

Is it better to store the Impact without air preesure in the regulator chamber and remive the bottle for long period storage ?

GQ that's what I do every time I put it away, I think it really helps the o-rings and I don't have POI problems every time I put the gun together.
