waited 2 months for my wildcat,now less than 2 weeks later it wont hold a group over night ,i will be shooting with pin point accuracy after i rezero ..every time i pick up the gun i have to rezero,now i have to send it off to be fixed...looks like spending 1300 bucks on a gun,it would be problem free...frustrated as hell. i know i aint the only one with regulator problems with the wildcat,if fx cant make a reg right ,why cant they just offer a huma option?

If you have to re-zero it after sitting, and you keep hitting that "re-zero" spot during that session you are likely experiencing something other then regulator creep

Tell us more about your groups. How long after you quit shooting and then shoot again are you seeing a change? Did you check the velocities with a chronograph after it has set a while and then shot a string and is the string good after the first shot assuming it's different/low maybe? Seems like everyone is quick to assume its a bad regulator. All three of my FX work fine even though I did put a Huma in my Wildcat, mainly just to get a larger plenum for more velocities to shoot the Heavies with. You might indeed have an issue with it but I'd make some checks to confirm it.

after sitting overnight ...shot #1 775,shot #2 850,shot#3 890...i have a cheap crono that fits on barrel,but on wildcat it sits facing ground and have to reset after each shot,so a pain to use,will get a good crono soon...my truck broke down so money just got tight

I have the same issue with my Impact which prompted me to order a Huma.
At the range I would constantly be adjusting my zero at first, but after looking at the chrono numbers it was obvious that after 10 rounds or so the reg settled down. So what I do now is to shoot 10 rounds at the berm before I bother shooting at targets. No more having to re-zero the scope.
Still sucks when I get a shot at a critter at 2am out my window, or a squirrel during the day.

How is your Impact shooting these days with your new Huma regulator in there Sonny? What is your regs' setting and what velocity are you pushing the MK1"s?
