Better to hold back to correct the known gripes than to keep pushing out.

Just buy an Impact in the mean time while you wait. 

I probably will!

I REALLY want to try one on 30 cal WHOO-HOOOOO!!!

You wont be disappointed! Although mine is back with Ernest getting the updates they are doing to the new ones and I am going through withdrawals! He has it shooting almost 200fps more than when I sent it though, so it will be worth the wait!

I wouldn't necessarily rush to buy a new FX rifle. They roll new things out at a near maniacal pace, and I think often the marketing folks are about two steps ahead of the tech and design folks. I have a vision of a designer running to the office, yelling "wait, wait, before we release that rifle we need to......., oops, it's gone, oh well, we can fix it later as a warranty claim". Of course I'm a skeptic and this probably never happens.

I went through the same thing when I wanted an Impact. Months of waiting, buy something else instead. Several guns and at least a year later I finally got an Impact and am really enjoying it and it’s versatility... that is if the barrel kits and liners weren’t all on back order.

As someone with not much going on besides whatever hobby I’m immersed in it’s frustrating for sure.

I need to speak out for these questions and comments...

There is a huge difference between EU manufacturing and US/CA manufacturing.

The US business when see a candle light on a money pile ...wow borrows money makes a big plant, hires so many people! ?...wow what a mass production, than start making shortcut to make it cheaper and cheaper, then start outsourcing to make it even more cheaper..because american people want it cheap and if you give that to them they buy a half dozen....but when the money flow start slowing down they let the people go and just move on...I guess you got a picture.

EU companies are more careful and quiet opposite attitude and for this same reason you will see there families from more generations working in a same ccompany. I started working in a company 82' my father brought me in, that company is there since 1895 and employs 7500 is people.

Years ago I was competing in archery, I was sponsored by OKarchery (again a smaller size family oriented company). Along short period of time maybe only couple years the American market grew to a huge demand, the OK company kept producing a same 2000 pieces a year. I asked them once "I can help" I can open a production in Canada to make a bigger volume for North Amerika.

They were against and they explain it to me...The demand is today, they need to buy more machines plus need to higher more skilled people, to cut on cost need to make shortcuts (capish that ?)...if the demand tomorrow stops, what than? They kept producing the same amount of 2000 bows a year, but the product is a best money can buy...

I meat them several times in twenty years the same people working there, me in contrast when I got to CA a very first ten years I worked for ten companies, not only because it was cool to chase an extra $1 with a swap but no one of those companies doesn't exist today.

Also I have learned over there the expression "I am not rich enough to buy it cheap".

When the Mr.President asked the germans "can you make it cheaper?" They came, built you a factory and now you can make it cheap as you wish for yourself. Wasn't this true?



Edited: ...........uh sorry guys, this exactly what the inertia will do ;)

Same thing I've been reading about regarding firearms ammunition. People wonder why companies don't build additional factories, and the reason given is that the supply will eventually outpace the demand, and the extra facilities/workers will no longer be needed.
