The best airgun ever made.
- Thread starter Tominco
- Start date
Easy, choice and it’s not the impact it’s the the theoben rapid, and I will explain why!
first proper multi shot
first proper pcp bottle
stupidly consistent
insanely accurate
High shot count
quiet
works well in sub 12fpe to 100+ pte
easy to tune
easy to modify
Ultra reliable
looks good
Still shoots as well as any other airgun.
imo, the only thing a imo the impact has going for it is the ability to fit longer barrels into a compact design.

Hi Tom, great video.
To say I was shocked to see you and the Impact WOW!
RMAC though? come on! it's a exhibition for FX, sponsored by FX and showcasing FX, with an FX tuner on hand supplying and tuning FX sponsored shooters guns onsite before the competition (not that there is anything wrong with that of course).
If the video was entitled "The Most Versatile Airgun On The Market" I would agree, not that the Redwolf can't be tuned to the same degree also, but because it's electronic rather than mechanical it scares some folk.
I have a few Impacts including MKII, Crowns and Redwolf's, plus all the bits for the Impact you say, the G-TECH buttpad etc. but in no way IMO is the Impact a nicer gun to shoot precision benchrest with over the traditionally stocked guns no matter what you do with it, same as an AR (which I also have a few of) is over a traditional bolt gun in an adjustable sporter stock.
Speed silhouette though, of course thats a different set of requirements altogether!
Because the Impacts are so much fun to fiddle with mine always seem to be in a state of flux, I just cant seem to leave them alone, get the tune right and then swap it all about again, this can be the devil in the design though.
How about trying a Redwolf Safari in .30 cal then?

@Spray1Mark Thanks for the comment. Yes, I think "The most versatile rifle created" would have been a more accurate title. I tried to convey that message in the video.
I've got a video in mind for the RW as well.

? I’m gonna make a beer 
run!I agree 100 percent Tom. There’s just no other gun doing what the impact does. I’ve owned a couple mark 1 impacts going to be buying a mark 2 soon. I hope your channel keeps growing to by the way man. Keep it up can’t wait to see your shooting session with the mkll.

.22 Cricket mini Carbine. Small, lightweight, reliable, easy cocking, easy to shoot bench, prone, and off hand, efficient, great trigger, very tunable, accurate, quiet, simple to work on, and very good looking...

If I had to pick 1 gun in 22 for slugs hands down R5m Long , with the MP slugs it is a tack driver , I wacked a crow the other day at 265 yards this is my new record for .22 caliber kill
for a .22 pellet gun , I am going to say I love taipan veteran std
for a fun gun leshiy 22
and gun for fast shooting the wildcat 22
these are my favorites in 2019 so far , I have not tried the MK2 impact only the first series .

“Best” The most excellent, the greatest of all times,
Best at what, accuracy, dependability, ease of use, affordability, simplicity. What would get my vote is a blend of simplicity, dependability, and accuracy. Myself I would like affordability to be included but I don’t know if it belongs there. Anyway do you really think that is “The Best"

Its the Red Ryder. Honestly though with all the issues that FX has I dont think they deserve this title. I had just about bought an impact several times but just could not see myself buying something that has such a high failure rate. I really feel that the eastern made airguns have far more right to be considered the best over ANY FX airgun. EdGun, Kalibrgun, Tipan and Vulcan for example. Really though, currently I would put Edgun over the others at this point in time.They are just so damn well made.

I overheard two six year old boy’s conversation recently. One six year old told the other six year old, “My Nike shoes are faster than your Reebok shoes!” The other kid responded, “No my Reebok shoes are faster!” I laughed. The same sort of conversation takes place everyday on here, except its by grown @$$ men about airguns. My laughs continue.

Except some Smart Grown men know exactly what they are doing when they make such a claim on a public forum. (I’m Not saying anything about any guns, just the part about making the statement) & at the end of the game it’s the smart ones that laugh all the way to the bank...maybe.

Hw30, its very accurate, easy to shoot for a hole day if you want to, enough power for small pests if you want to hunt, fun, and overall a fantastic quality for the price
