Better impact???

Will the price better than Impact too???
I guess we will find out later !!!

reading somewhere that it may come with barrel sleves with different twist rates for more fine tuning....... Hope it's true.

Barrel liners perhaps? That's funny, seems quite a sensible approach really, and could even provide a Lego-like interchangeability between calibres, though of course you'd have to swap bolts as well for different diameter seals at the breech. Having a kit with a handful of barrel liners for, say, two different twist rates each in .177", .22", and .25" with matching bolt tips would make for a very flexible air rifle. Something which could change to suit the season or application. One rifle to handle benchrest competition, pest management, plinking, even small game, if given a power adjuster with sufficient range. Going between .177" at 7fpe at one extreme, and .25" at 60fpe at the other, that'd handle a lot of variation in user requirements with only about a 2 pound kit.

But it seems to me this is even more far-fetched in terms of the needs of most end users than the changeable barrels of the Impact. Can't see myself swapping barrels and calibres in the same gun, once I get it dialed in nicely with a given scope. I'd really rather swap rifles if I have different uses for them. So changeable barrel liners would make sense as part of that dialing in for a given purpose, then you'd have a bunch of liners left over in case you ever tired of that particular setup and wanted to go to something different.

You may run into elevation problems with those rings and that scope.

Say...Simon, wanna trade my MCX for your Impact?

I did mean liners,
here's the info

Wow, that's really clever. I was imagining threaded ends on the liners with pairs of slim fixing nuts to tension them inside the shroud, something like that anyway. A single set screw makes it amazingly simple. And this is one heck of a beautiful rifle! Still wondering how they worked out calibre changes without changing the bolt... guessing maybe the barrel liner seals into the upper independent of the breech interface, and maybe some sort of insert which snaps into a .30" pellet tray for each of the smaller calibers... leaving the only job for the bolt being pushing pellets, not sealing. Somehow. Naw, still not able to guess properly.

I actually asked Travis to pick whatever rings he thought would work best,and he sent those ones.

. I don't think Nathan would like me very much if I did that.


The fill port kinda sucks though. Very hard to get your fingers in there to release the hose.

As well, I wonder if they glued the cap on the shroud. I tried opening it, but I didn't want to scratch anything. Needless to say, it didn't move.

Unfortunately unless they mount every ring and scope combo on every gun the best the can do it guess. I drove to Peterborough again yesterday to buy more pellets as I have already gone thru 1400 plus in my Impact. I snagged another 3000 pellets, a Atlas bipod and a MTC Viper pro 5-30-50

With traditional rings I can not zero my gun at 46 yards. 46 yards is the best zero for how I have my gun set-up. You max the windage trying to zero. Not a lot of point have the special speed dial scope if there is no windage left to dial.

Also Impacts need ridiculously high rings. When I had my Bausch and lomb fixed 36 on her with X-high rings they are still a bit too low. With the mtc and XX high ring they are about right. The way they put check rest makes you need the uber high rings. That is unless you like to have your head at a massive angle trying to look thru the scope.

Now the easy solution is to buy FX no limit mounts that are adjustable. There is also another brand that makes the same type of thing.

You may get lucky. I am only telling you what I have found. Pics or it didn't happen..... That's a 50 yard typical group with my Impact. .353 ctc. I'm still working on it though. Only 5 shots too.

Cap is not glued. The base of the shorud is though. Nothing some heat won't fix.
