The Impact has only just been released here in Australia about a week ago. Firstly, I have no affilation with FX other than owning their product, but feel as a satisfied owner I should chime in. I recieved mine in .22 & .25cal 4 days ago and so far put through 500 weighed and headsized pellets.
The Impact has exceeded all my expectations, in performance, build quality and finish. I removed it from the box, read the instructions, assembled it (.22), fitted the scope, filled it with air, and went outside to my 25 yard range at home. It took 6 shots to sight the scope in, and the next 6 shots grouped 5-6mm. Not bad effort I thought for straight out of the box. The gun has continued to shoot 5-6mm groups (and I'm just an average shooter) using both JSB Exact & H&N Baracuda over the first 500 rounds. I'm sure the accuracy will improve even more when I chrono it and learn the gun. I removed the barrel and replaced it with no POI change at 25 yards.
I'm shooting left handed which is not as comfortable as it's a right hand gun, I will modify the cheek piece in due course. I'm using the existing small mags I have on hand from my Revolution, and these are fed in from left hand side of the gun and have worked flawlessly. So far I couldn't be happier with the Impact.
And to those Americans who grizzle about the cost of the Impact, we pay US$2,500 for our Impacts here in Australia, that's US$500-$600 more than you guys, and I think they pay similar to us in the UK.
Best regards,
Ross
