I'm adding one of the 2 listed air rifles to my shortlist and I'm looking for real world imput from actual owners. I've been leaning towards .30 cal since that is my new caliber of choice and would appreciate any information that owners can give me. From my own research it's been noted that the FX is complicated to work on and I'm curious if that is reality or not. I like the FX products and I'm really impressed with my Bobcat in .30 cal. The benefit to the War platform is that it is made here and I've heard that their service is very good and parts are available. All input is welcome
FX Impact VS WAR Flex
- Thread starter Badgerfarm
- Start date
I have both I just give a review on the flex hear please read my review. But first of all the impact is not hard to use at all I think what is the problem is most airgunners like to play around with the settings and so do I but you don't need to out of the box it's amazing so it's a tuff call to choose but let me try to explain
my favorite Airgun is fx impact x 30cal I love it and for good reason it's a great airgun but I Hurd so much about the wicked air flex I had to get one in .357 and it's just as good trust me the biggest difference is look and finish the impact is well finished and pretty to look at and you can dress it up with lots of extra stuff for looks.
The flex is made in the good old USA and is made to look like a AR stile it's all black and build quality is like a tank not heavy tho. It's adjustable same as invalid and you can also swap the barrels same as impact no different but the finish is not as good but am talking impact is fine finish paint job and the flex is just like a real fire arm mat black finish so you understand the looks difference.
as for quality I truly believe the flex is more heavy duty and wold last longer. As for accuracy pretty much the same I think if you like the traditional look of a rifle as opposed to a futuristic looking gun the flex would be your choice but Jim the owner of wicked air is amazing and you get better service in my opinion so it's a hard choice but both are very close in comparison I like the idea the flex is made in the USA I also like the small business quality and personable relationship with Jim Gaska at wicked air. Hope this helps this is both of my air guns to see the difference. John.

Jim at WAR is an awesome guy and a great one to work with. The guns I think are top notch as well. I have the little brother WARP and love it. The .30 TJ barrels are incredibly accurate. Very easy guns to work on and bulletproof. Will be the last gun to ever go if I had to sell them off.

Flex .30 cal for me had the impact all though a great gun the flex was my choice its built like a tank very solid great accuracy and Jim is the best at taking care of his customers, always there to answer questions and give advice!

That was the kind of information that I was needing. Ultimately I will wind up with both but wanted to make an informed decision for the first purchase. Can anyone throw any negatives about either one at me? I'm looking for all input both good and bad.
Thanks

Ya I can give you the big Negative on both pricey it's hard to bad mouth both Airguns at this price point I missed understood I thought you was asking about each one but you have a fx so you know about them per say so ya flex is the way to go then you will have the best of both worlds. Can't give you any negatives Hahaha sounds like that's what you're looking for more negative than positive

Sorry for the confusion about the post. I'm interested in all aspects both positive and negative plus how anyone might have their setup and preference why. I'm even interested in what pellets they prefer and what FPS the sweet spots are. Thanks
