Thank you for mentioning the location of the bipod!! I've yet to see any other review where that is brought up. I'd also like to mention you did a great job discussing each adjustment that can be made, to leave the regulator alone.
Used to own one, compared to the Vulcan i had before, this is just way better, it's more agressive and way more advanced than the Vulcan, and the way it can be so useful for any situation makes it better, and the technology it has makes it my favorite rifle.
....WOW!!!! YOUR REVIEWS ARE THE BEST ONES THAT I'VE EVER SEEN!!!!!! YOU'RE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! [ IF POSSIBLE, I'D LIKE TO SEE SOME MORE OF YOUR THOUGHTS, AND COMPARISONS BETWEEN THE VARIOUS TYPES OF PELLETS, AND CALIBERS, AT LONGER RANGES]. YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS ARE EXTREMELY WELL RECEIVED!!! = MUCH APPRECIATED!!!! THANKS!!!!!
Here is a perfect slig set up for the Impact: MAGPUL MS4 Dual QD Gen2 Sling and RSA-QD Rail Sling Attachment. Look em up on MAGPUL Site. I have used this set up on both my Impact and AR15 platform and it is the best for walk about shooting. See you at BRE in Phoenix.
aren't you worried that by holding it by the air bottle, in time the threads on the bottle and it's female on the gun will develop some looseness? in cold weather isn't it a bit cold to hold? very nice video! I think the wildcat may be just good enough for me. cheers! BB
de verdad que estoy facinado con este canal los reviuws son buenos aunque no entiendo mucho o casi nada el inglés y los videos de scopecam son fabulosos!!!!! simplemente me encanta!!!!!! ese rifle es precioso!!!
Hey Matt, can we look forward to a 100 yard test from you using the Impact? Maybe a follow up review after having and using it for the last 2 - 3 months.
Another nice review there, I saw an Impact at the British Shooting Show and they are surprisingly light but unfortunately no one seems to stock them in N'Ireland,
So Matt over all compare TDR FAC and the FX Impact I am a big fan of FX and AA. My fx is the Royal 400. And my AA is the TX 200. But I seem to be drooling for the Impact after your review. Impact has it so well covered I don't even know what question to ask. It's got it all.
great video. I got a daystate airwolf but thinking of swapping it for a .22 impact . You showed the power adjuster in the vid but do you know what power you get from low all the way threw to high power ?
I'm like you Matt,I love the looks of a nice walnut stock, and traditional looks. That being said, this looks like a nice workhorse. Don't have to worry about that nice walnut stock, when out stomping through the brush.
Exziver , I've purchased an Indy in the past. It was complete trash. The plastic pump arm melted apart in one day. I sent it back to AOA and the problems just got worse from there. I've heard mostly the same about this gun. I wouldn't buy one, but if you do, please do an honest review on it! HONEST review.
Hi sir Matt .. I would suggest to make a video about the fx impact on its different barrel calibers comparison and accuracy test in long range... Hope you would .. we my friends love your channel from Philippines...
great review.was about to order one and decided on airwolf instead for fac.regretting a bit now but have heard a few teething problems with them.maybe next time i will get one.
FX Impact vs tradional looking rifle, regarding the notions about the weight and the design FX Impact being a major thing of getting used to and requires skill to keep it performing , do you think that the FX Streamline can become a competitive for the '"traditional look" loving shooters?
FX rates the fill pressure to 3300PSI. But considering this rifle has a regulator on the output side of the CF tank, and CF tanks are usually factory tested to 7500PSI fill pressure with a given fill pressure of 4500PSI as per industry standard on CF tanks, would it be ok to fill it to 4500PSI and thus achieve more shot counts? Remember the output of the tank is regulated, so a 4500PSI fill would output to say 2000psi or whatever the setting is at.
Now that you have had it for a bit of time now, how is it still performing? I really like how it looks and has performed in your videos and am getting ready to buy one.
Thank you for explaining this all. I am about to get my first Impact .22. What would you recommend for its settings for JSB 15.89 grain pellets since I don't have a chronometer. Please guide me from the Min-Max power wheel on the side to the valve pressure screw with four lines on it between the barrel and the cylinder. Thank you.
You mentioned the gun holds the same point of aim when you re-install the barrel. Some other's on TH-cam have had trouble with this. I wondered if you have specifically tested for change in point of aim (POA) with yours?
+Kelvin Kapteyn I have, the POI stays the same. If you make sure the barrel is all the way in and the screw is tightened properly there shoudn't be any issues
Nice video with very nice airgun, we are not allowed to hunt any bird or animal here in India, just enjoying ur videos. Can't dream such a airgun here.
Great review, Matt! Not a beautiful gun to my eyes, but like you said you gain elsewhere (or everywhere else). I want one! By the way what scope magnification do you use for 50 and 100 meters shooting range?
Outstanding video as usual. I was wondering about the stackable moderator. Is it for sale to the public yet or is it just reserved for the airgun royalty like you and Ted :-) I'm in the U.S. and I called AoA about it a month or so ago. They said they don't know when it will be for sale. Do the stacks thread to the telescopic shroud once you take the forward tube off? Thanks and keep up the hard work with these videos!!!!
There's Like #900 for you. I was pretty well set on the Wildcat, until I saw in your review of the Wildcat that you like this one better. Now that I watch this, I'm not so sure any more. I think I'm going to get the TX200 first, and think about it for awhile.
Hi Matt! I enjoy so much watching your videos. You just know how to feed a person like me who love to go out and hunt but tied up with busy work. Anyway, if you don't mind, how much did you buy it. Thanks!
hi matt what do you think is better for the fx impact,the smooth twist or the old rifled barrel because some people don't like the new smooth twist barrel and what do you think about the vulcan
job well done.here we go again we need to buy one but i should sale all my 8 air rifles to buy this good one its not just a gun as you said matt its a shootting system
Is this gun capable of swapping the loading lever to the other side? I am a lefty shot and have been looking at this rifle for some time but can't get a definite answer on if it's ambi compatable
@david nichols you don't have manners how to talk politely. How can we trust you people when you have so much hate and prejudice for Muslims. We are human also good and bad men belongs to every religion.
I been looking at these pellet guns lately, 2 grand for this one !! I have a really nice Ruger 10/22 what if i put a silencer on it and shoot those subsonic rounds looks to me like it may even be better than this, maybe i'm not understanding something here ??
Hi, great review!! ..I have the same rifle, in .22 and .30. I bought it in the States, but they don't longer import the normal shroud, only de telescopic one. Can you please, tell me in which store or shop, do you bought the normal shroud? the one that allow to use the modelar FX silencer on it?? (I suppose that is in South Africa, but maybe they can send me just the shroud). Thanks, best regards and please, keep making those great reviews!! ...Alex.
Hi Matt, tell me please what is sound moderator? Who produces them, please give a link to the manufacturer. Thank you! I mean Soundmodrator that can be seen in video on the 9th minute.
Hola excelente trabajo con los videos que subes. Te cuento que tengo la intención de comprar un FX Impact, pero he visto en foros que indican que tiene continuos problemas con los O-rines (toricas) y que además es dificil de realizar la mantencion. Tienes algún antecedente que me puedas dar?, el costo es alto como para tener problemas al poco tiempo de uso.
Great review, was one of the lucky 5 to purchase the last shipment here in SA, would love to compare notes on the gun if you are interested? also would like to talk offline about the shroud that you have? have you shot with the telescopic shroud and noticed any pellet traces on the exit hole?
Hi matt did you say that impact you put the fix shroud and silencer on is a .22 ? Iv been trying to get one for my .22 here in the uk but have been told they only make it for the .25 and .30 is this true or is there a way I can get one ? Regards Reece P.S awesome videos buddy I think iv now watched them all 😂
AirArmsHuntingSA oh really hmm well I'll have to make sure I get one as soon as they are I need one for my impact 😁 haha lucky guy 😄 thanks for replying by the way I'm a big fan your videos are brilliant iv been learning a lot from them . And you are completely right in your video where you come to London and mention about the pigeon problem here .
If your still around You-tube -- i have a question if you don't mind answering --- at what pressure do you decide to refill the HPA tank on the FX Impact ??
Hey i'm a beginner with pcps i've had 2 springers for 5 years with no scope and i got an fx impact and i'm having hard time adjusting the scope (zero) please explain how you adjust the scope
Good evening, I admire your work very much, your videos are very short, I live in Brazil I do not think the store here sells FX impact. Wanted to know if could i indicate a shop so i can be able to buy her, hug thank you
would you be kind to inform me what is the maximum power in ftlb, if we turn on power to maximum,....using .177 pellet 21 grain?..can it reach above 50 ftlb?
Hi from France ! I want buy the impact in .30caliber ! do you have an idee for powerfull setting ? max on the impact ? and what pellets use for dove and rabbit for exemple ? thanks in advance ans sorry for bad english !
If you're buying your first one, go for a not so expensive one. Like a benjamin discovery or marauder, or an AirForce Talon. Remember you'll have to buy a hand pump, a scope and mount rings too. Dunno if you already used a pcp, but don't get something too expensive from the go, maybe you won't like it. I know ppl that stopped using pcp's because they require more maintenance than a springer (the hand pump needs it too), but if you want to hunt at 50 yards or more, a pcp is what you need.
Love your videos! Do you have any recommendations for a scope to mount on a magnum springer? I can produce a dime size group at 18yards with the 4x32 scope that came with the gun, but I can't hit anything outside of 30 yards. Thanks!
Get a one piece mount if you didn't already. Joining an air rifle forum and asking there would be the best, you'll find a lot of people that will share what they know and it's best if you state what springer and scope do you have. Good luck!
Matt, hope you can help me. I bought a second hand impact in 0.25. My problem is that I get 468 ft/s with 33.95 gr pellets. This is on max settings with reg at 150 bar. Any advice will be appreciated. Paul from Palguns
Might be worth checking out the SPA/Onix airguns as well as the Benjamin/Crosman offerings. Trying to stay under $300 USD would be difficult once you factor in a handpump. The Marauder Pistol isn''t too much more though, and is an absolute joy to shoot.
6 years later now, look how far fx has come on this gun.
It s quite impressive that they add good things without change the look
Thank you for mentioning the location of the bipod!! I've yet to see any other review where that is brought up. I'd also like to mention you did a great job discussing each adjustment that can be made, to leave the regulator alone.
love your videos man. ive been looking at the impact for awhile and youve now sold me on the price tag that comes with it.
i just bought a wildcat in 25 cal an only shot 40 rounds at 50yds an i love it it can cut one eight inch thick weeds like match sticks unreal love it
Fantastic review my friend. Just bought one in. 25 pushing 50fpp😍👌♥️🇬🇧
Used to own one, compared to the Vulcan i had before, this is just way better, it's more agressive and way more advanced than the Vulcan, and the way it can be so useful for any situation makes it better, and the technology it has makes it my favorite rifle.
....WOW!!!! YOUR REVIEWS ARE THE BEST ONES THAT I'VE EVER SEEN!!!!!! YOU'RE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! [ IF POSSIBLE, I'D LIKE TO SEE SOME MORE OF YOUR THOUGHTS, AND COMPARISONS BETWEEN THE VARIOUS TYPES OF PELLETS, AND CALIBERS, AT LONGER RANGES]. YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS ARE EXTREMELY WELL RECEIVED!!! = MUCH APPRECIATED!!!! THANKS!!!!!
Here is a perfect slig set up for the Impact: MAGPUL MS4 Dual QD Gen2 Sling and RSA-QD Rail Sling Attachment. Look em up on MAGPUL Site. I have used this set up on both my Impact and AR15 platform and it is the best for walk about shooting. See you at BRE in Phoenix.
I wish i could have that fx impact..but it so expensive here in philippines,, i love watching your video.
Hand gripping the bottle, did you notice it putting (wear) on the bottle to receiver connection? Great presentation ...Thank you?
So now you are FX hunting SA ?
Well done Matt, another quality production / review ~ I've got one on order here in the UK.. 👍

Great video Matt...... Can't wait to see one on the Wildcat...
aren't you worried that by holding it by the air bottle, in time the threads on the bottle and it's female on the gun will develop some looseness?
in cold weather isn't it a bit cold to hold?
very nice video!
I think the wildcat may be just good enough for me.
cheers!

de verdad que estoy facinado con este canal los reviuws son buenos aunque no entiendo mucho o casi nada el inglés y los videos de scopecam son fabulosos!!!!!
simplemente me encanta!!!!!!
ese rifle es precioso!!!
Hey Matt, can we look forward to a 100 yard test from you using the Impact? Maybe a follow up review after having and using it for the last 2 - 3 months.
sad thing is when we watched a video we expect another! I really enjoyed it...you r super cool!
Another nice review there, I saw an Impact at the British Shooting Show and they are surprisingly light but unfortunately no one seems to stock them in N'Ireland,
Not available in N'Ireland...SURPRISE!!!
Your videos are awesome. Keep up the good work.
im lefthanded .the magazine looks like it would be a problem for me.great video.
So Matt over all compare TDR FAC and the FX Impact I am a big fan of FX and AA. My fx is the Royal 400. And my AA is the TX 200. But I seem to be drooling for the Impact after your review. Impact has it so well covered I don't even know what question to ask. It's got it all.
Excellent review perhaps adding some long range shots would be nice
great video. I got a daystate airwolf but thinking of swapping it for a .22 impact . You showed the power adjuster in the vid but do you know what power you get from low all the way threw to high power ?
I'm like you Matt,I love the looks of a nice walnut stock, and traditional looks. That being said, this looks like a nice workhorse. Don't have to worry about that nice walnut stock, when out stomping through the brush.
nice bit of kit matey , what do you think of smooth twist to compare with conventional barrels ?
Would love to see you using and pushing the wildcat to its limits. Are you planning on doing any videos with that?
Thanks Matt... I'm in the market soon for a new Bullpup and this one is on the list of possibilities.....
Exziver , I've purchased an Indy in the past. It was complete trash. The plastic pump arm melted apart in one day. I sent it back to AOA and the problems just got worse from there.

interesting the lesser spin on the pellet seems to keep it stable at higher velocitys
Nice video with very nice airgun, we are not allowed to hunt any bird or animal here in India, just enjoying ur videos. Can't dream such a airgun here.
love your vids keep them coming
Thanks for a freakin good review!! Keep up the good work!
Great review, Matt! Not a beautiful gun to my eyes, but like you said you gain elsewhere (or everywhere else). I want one! By the way what scope magnification do you use for 50 and 100 meters shooting range?
At what range would you zero your FX Impact .22 air rifle with a Hawk Frontier scope and at what magnification?
Outstanding video as usual. I was wondering about the stackable moderator. Is it for sale to the public yet or is it just reserved for the airgun royalty like you and Ted :-) I'm in the U.S. and I called AoA about it a month or so ago.

There's Like #900 for you. I was pretty well set on the Wildcat, until I saw in your review of the Wildcat that you like this one better. Now that I watch this, I'm not so sure any more. I think I'm going to get the TX200 first, and think about it for awhile.
Can the FPE be increased on the 30cal?
What is the total length with the barrel shortened/extended?
Thanks.
Hi Matt! I enjoy so much watching your videos. You just know how to feed a person like me who love to go out and hunt but tied up with busy work. Anyway, if you don't mind, how much did you buy it. Thanks!
Very good review man! Thanks, I wish that you can do the same for the Airforce Condor.
Really good review nice gun but too expensive have you reviewed a AirForce condor
hi matt what do you think is better for the fx impact,the smooth twist or the old rifled barrel because some people don't like the new smooth twist barrel and what do you think about the vulcan
Awesome review! Are you ever going to review the Daystate Pulsar?!
job well done.here we go again we need to buy one but i should sale all my 8 air rifles to buy this good one its not just a gun as you said matt its a shootting system
Hey can you tell me what scope and bipod you have on it .I would like the same set up .
Is this gun capable of swapping the loading lever to the other side? I am a lefty shot and have been looking at this rifle for some time but can't get a definite answer on if it's ambi compatable
Outstanding review. A++. You rock!
Does fx made this or the dreamline series for left handers?
How about 100 yrd test I shoot a lot of squirrels and my shots are at a 90 to 127 yards quit often. The wildcat in .25 does this quit well.
what is the max energy that it can deliver with 30 cal ?? thanks
Ali Murad enough
Ali murad do not ass holes how much energy they release when they see muslims ...these bastards racists
@david nichols why dear?
@david nichols you don't have manners how to talk politely. How can we trust you people when you have so much hate and prejudice for Muslims. We are human also good and bad men belongs to every religion.
did you try Steyer Hunting 5? these are also accurate
I been looking at these pellet guns lately, 2 grand for this one !! I have a really nice Ruger 10/22 what if i put a silencer on it and shoot those subsonic rounds looks to me like it may even be better than this, maybe i'm not understanding something here ??

Awesome video Matt! a question regarding the mildots... How is holding calculated? Is it universal or does it vary by gun?
Maxx Juckett he's made videos on that, check his channel

Yo tengo el mismo y nunka medio problemas es en Punto y tira fuerte. Esto es para hombres
Great video Matt
Love the Impact, but you are right with the minor fault with this gun.
Great review, was one of the lucky 5 to purchase the last shipment here in SA, would love to compare notes on the gun if you are interested? also would like to talk offline about the shroud that you have? have you shot with the telescopic shroud and noticed any pellet traces on the exit hole?
+Riaz Patel I believe there is a new shipment arriving later this month!
How is the Air Force Condor SS compared to these.
Hi matt did you say that impact you put the fix shroud and silencer on is a .22 ? Iv been trying to get one for my .22 here in the uk but have been told they only make it for the .25 and .30 is this true or is there a way I can get one ? Regards Reece
P.S awesome videos buddy I think iv now watched them all 😂
+Dark Seas This is a .22 - You can get them for any caliber, but I don't think they are readily available. I "stole" this shroud from FX last year:)
AirArmsHuntingSA oh really hmm well I'll have to make sure I get one as soon as they are I need one for my impact 😁 haha lucky guy 😄 thanks for replying by the way I'm a big fan your videos are brilliant iv been learning a lot from them .

If your still around You-tube -- i have a question if you don't mind answering --- at what pressure do you decide to refill the HPA tank on the FX Impact ??
So, would the impact shoot 18 gr pellets well @ 12 fp @ say 50 yards?
Hi I'm thinking of getting an impact or a royale 500 in .25 cal. have you tried both? which would you recommend? thanks
Hey i'm a beginner with pcps i've had 2 springers for 5 years with no scope and i got an fx impact and i'm having hard time adjusting the scope (zero) please explain how you adjust the scope
great video bro!!Continue!!!
Can you tell me how much this air impact gun is?
you can buy a barrel clamp but it might not work with the extendable barrel
they also make adapters for a sling
not name brand though
Hi, do you know if this gun can converted for left handers.?
Impressive gun and review.
Good evening, I admire your work very much, your videos are very short, I live in Brazil I do not think the store here sells FX impact. Wanted to know if could i indicate a shop so i can be able to buy her, hug thank you
Hello sir i am from India a big fan of u. How can i buy this fx impact .177 from India? Pls give me a guide line
I want to buy a fx airgun but the one's saw was to expensive what do you recommend I do
when are you going to play with that wildcat?
excellent review
would you be kind to inform me what is the maximum power in ftlb, if we turn on power to maximum,....using .177 pellet 21 grain?..can it reach above 50 ftlb?
Hi from France ! I want buy the impact in .30caliber ! do you have an idee for powerfull setting ? max on the impact ? and what pellets use for dove and rabbit for exemple ? thanks in advance ans sorry for bad english !
do you have power regulations for air guns in SA ? or it´s " open end " about fpe !??
very nice and helpful review..... please help me for buying my first PCP gun which gun is best for me...
If you're buying your first one, go for a not so expensive one. Like a benjamin discovery or marauder, or an AirForce Talon. Remember you'll have to buy a hand pump, a scope and mount rings too.

how long can you leave the air in the can for?
How the new x barrel on the Impact doing?
when will you upload a hunting video with fx wildcat
Great Video ! which Scope is it ? 2.5-15 or 5-30 ??
+neshra54 2.5-15
Shoot some Starlings plz. slow motion.
+AirArmsHuntingSA nice gunn, so awesome. Keep them coming matt💯
can this be double loaded by accident ? regards paul
Thank you for the video.. great review.
Whats a good bullpup gun around 500 my budget is reaaalllyyy tight and i really want a bullpup air rifle
Love your videos! Do you have any recommendations for a scope to mount on a magnum springer? I can produce a dime size group at 18yards with the 4x32 scope that came with the gun, but I can't hit anything outside of 30 yards. Thanks!

Matt, hope you can help me. I bought a second hand impact in 0.25. My problem is that I get 468 ft/s with 33.95 gr pellets. This is on max settings with reg at 150 bar. Any advice will be appreciated. Paul from Palguns
PAL Outdoors throw it in the trash
It's sorted
Is it available for lefties because that while an enhancement to the righties out there negated the chance of me ever owning this otherwise @3:33
how long does the regulator last for roughly?
I'm just starting out with air guns and have shot break barrels but looking for a pcp that's not over 300$ what would u recommend
Might be worth checking out the SPA/Onix airguns as well as the Benjamin/Crosman offerings. Trying to stay under $300 USD would be difficult once you factor in a handpump. The Marauder Pistol isn''t too much more though, and is an absolute joy to shoot.
+Pete Bachman thx I'll look into it
Any way to get this for international customers like from Malaysia?
Those pellets are hitting bloody hard at 50 yards !!
nice review,,cheers
What happened with the arrow barrel?
