Some great advice Matt. Some of us at the shooting club realized that we had a problem with some new guns with shooting them without cleaning them first. After several cleans things tightened up and are still improving. Glad to see that you are still making these great videos. Long may it continue.
As much as I enjoy your content Matt I must admit I look forward to the scenery in the background of your videos. I know I've said it before, but you really do live in a beautiful part of the world.
Dude, I really like your videos and pledge to support your channel as early as possible.
Really informative video. I am about a month away from getting my impact and videos like this so helpful thanks Matt. Like I said before keep doing what you do
@airarmshuntingsa Ive asked fx about the "fouling" in the barrel, it protects the inside from rusting and they leave it there as they do not know how long a rifle will be stored and what enviroment it will be stored in. polished, untreated surfaces are, as we know, prone to rusting. Have a nice day, love your channel!
Just got my Impact 30 cal. Thanks for the info Matt. You rock!
Joe from Worcester Massachusetts
Great timing and great video (as always) Matt - just this weekend I had planned to go out and do some shooting trials with my Impact. Now I have a much better idea of what I should actually be adjusting (and how). Keep up the good work!
Very in formative Matt, thanks.
The “not gonna see much more of this gun” statement didn’t age well 😂😂👌🏼
good advice Matt and good video.
Thanks Matt for another great video! , greetings from FX Country :D
Nice one matt. Some very good advice for the impact guys out there.
Matt I can't wait to get my impact great info great video ty buddy
Hey Matt!!!! I just got my Fx Impact II MAtt Dubber Special Edition!!!
Took a long long long time! But worth it! I added a nice scope, bipod, and an Saber Tactical Adj Buttstock.
Thanks Matt and UA!
Ive already decided to get this. Thanks for re-affirming that.
Hi all.
The good thing about this is that after knowing how to properly use a fx impact and solve all the problems you can find , you can work for the nasa tuning rockets.
Love your vids bro...Help me out a bunch with my Impact...Works great with the Crown too...
We were starting to use barrel tuners in benhrest around 2005. A lot of ideas came/come from bench rest shooting.
great video!
Hi Matt great video. Can you possibly show a video of the method of adjustment? Cheers
Le hago una pregunta tengo una fx impact calibre 30 pero cuando disparo sale un poquito de aire por donde esta el magazin.
Le cambien os oring de afuera y el interno del cañón pero sigue sali3ndo aire no se si sera la pieza que empuja el diablo en la recámara que no lo cuadre bien . Cual seria la distancia exacta para el calibre 30 de esta pieza usted mide y sale en 91.62 no se si sera para el calibre 30
Yes, I would love to know your approach to the best way to clean the Fx impact barrel. Thank you
I agree, I shoot centre fire lots and have learnt loads from that that translates to Airguns. It takes a while ( i think ) to set a gun up to make sure its bang on . Like the video by the way buddy :)
I know that this an older video of the FX Impact in .25 cal. 700mm barrel; I just purchased; the 1st FX Impact, I've owned. And I've already tuned the regulator up to the "max power" (150 bar) allowed for warranty reasons and I didn't want to mess up my brand new gun either; also followed the steps to the gun manuel.
The only thing that I didn't do was clean the gun barrel before I shot it, and it seemed to throw pellets in different places but after I shot it 25-50 shots it cleaned itself and shot accurately.
When weather permits; I will shoot it and before I do; I will run some air gun oil threw it on a patch (dry patch 1st) and then shoot it; and see what happen then.
It may not help but a dry patch will not hurt it with a little oil after the dry patch is ran through it.
I also purchased a decent scope on it Hawk Airmax 30 III on it. it seemed to work ok make sure you get good rings also which unfortunately when the sold them to me they cheep crap... Later on, I will get some fully adjustable rings for it because these are lousy cheap rings.
I had to use shims on it to get it to shoot at more than 100+ yards accurately with maxing the turrets out. One final point don't buy get cheap stuff for a $2,000+ gun.
Hello Matt, Thank you for your tutorials... I like it very much. Do you know what kind of material this O-rings made off?
Matt you were obviously premature with your Crown comment. I think the only thing that would pry the impact out of your hands would be a semi-suto impact with the same accuracy and reliability of the impact. Thanks for all you do, Matt. You advance the sport and the sportsman (not to mention their equipment).
Yeah lol
hey matty I reccomend you get a balance beam scale for reloading way more accurate unless you want to spend a heap on an electronic scale.
I’m buying the fx today!
Can’t wait!!!!
It will be my 1st pcp rifle too!
As a kid I had different B.B. guns and pellet rifles and I’m happy and excited about this new amazing rifle!
Why go with a Ford pinto when you can purchase and afford a Ferrari?!
Ohhhhh yeaaaah!!!!
25 caliber here baby!
And thank you for your knowledge.
The Ford pinto 200 block was the base for cosworths yb engine and what a great engine that ended up being and still is!
As always an excellent and informative video.I have a couple of questions for you Matt.
1. At what power do you have the hammer spring when you start to adjust the regulator? Is it at MAX or MIN?
2. I have a 0.177 Impact that came at 100 bar reg pressure. I just purchased a 0.22 barrel kit. What would you consider a good reg pressure so I can switch between 0.177 and 0.22 and just adjust the hammer spring tension?
Thank you very much and keep those videos coming...
from what i understand from a few other channels, there is a rather simple fix for leaky air guns. more often than not it is not necessary to completely replace the o rings,if they are simply dried out a bit (but not damaged) running a drop of oil through the system will get things working again. i do not recall the type of oil used, how ever if you take off the air tank place a drop of oil in the port reattach the tank and take a few shots, the seals should tighten.
I never thought I would say this but it's good to see advertising on my favorite UA-cam channels again.
+shellmaker10 Are you seeing ads on this video? Still no revenue coming through. I hope this is sorted out soon.
Yes. The first time I viewed the video there was an add for something hunting or shooting related...can't remember exactly. I viewed it at a later time to see if there would be advertisement again and there was. It was for Amazon.
Also I am starting to see advertisements on some other channels that show shooting sports related topics.
Hope things are getting back to normal. I really enjoy your channel. I can't always get away to hunt myself so it's nice to see what others are doing in other parts of the world related to shooting and hunting. Thanks.
Hi Matt, so glad to see you looking happier than the video you made about the potential difficulties with You Tube. I've watched pretty much all your videos to date and thoroughly enjoyed them and found them informative. I always look forward to seeing your videos turn up on my "subscribed" short list. I love both my Wildcat and Impact and they are my favourite FX rfiles out of my collection. I wonder if the FX Crown is that different from Impact; not in the shape but in the machinary. I control vermin and pests using my air rifles but believe exclusively in humane shooting and in almost all cases what I shoot will be used as food.
For CF rifles, I don't have a .260 Rem but have very similar in a .243 and a .25-06. Always been dreaming of coming to SA for a safari but just not done it yet!!
Have you thought about producing a DVD of your hunts (both with air rifles [esp. with FX Impact, etc.] and larger game with CF rifles).
Hope your financial circumstances improve and things work out, and give some thought to making DVDs - you're a natural presenter.
All the best and look forward to more videos from you. Best wishes.
Very nice video Matt. I am going to buy a new scope and the Aztec scope looks good. How do you rate it especially when compared to SWFA?
Great video Matt. I know you shoot mostly slugs now, but did you ever come to a conclusion on the .22 caliber 25.4 grain JSB pellets past 50 yards?
You are my favourite youtuber!
Hi Matt , can you please do a tutorial of how to clean the FX impact barrel?
Patchworm pocket field cleaning kit. $10 You'll never look back
Matt, Ive got an Fx Impact on the way as well as some jsb .22 25.4gr redisgned pellets did you ever come to a conclusion on those pellets past fifty yards ?
Hi Matt. Could you please tell us what grip have you fitted to your Impact. Looks really comfortable. Thank you for another great Video.
the jumbo heavy works well with my marauder benjamin beyond 50m upto 120m
Hi Matt, great video! I have an .22 impact for a couple of months and I am still struggling to fine tune it, basically due to lack of time. In the factory default settings (115bar and 18.5mm preload gap) I get 2-inch groups at 65m and I am sure that the gun can do better than that. Can you be so helpful and let me know what is your reg pressure and hammer preload settings so I can have a better start on my search? Can't thank you enough...
Love or videos keep it up
i need help from you.
im gonna buy x impact.what is best, the old one or the new one caleber5,5mm? thank you
So Matt you are shooting the Impact with the new smooth twist barrels. experimenting with them?
Hi I see you have swapped the std shroud for a Huggett "magna ? ,what was the reason sound suppression or to allow the barrel harmonics to do their thing ? Great videos btw not jealous at at honest .
Nice video bro
Hello Matt, my name is Jonhattan from Uruguay.
I have a question which configuration you recommend or use to hunt rabbits or foxes with the fx impact 6.35
regards
Matt
What is the regulator pressure on your FX Impact set at
what air rifke would you recommend if choosing from a FX royale 400. or a weihrauch hw100kt in sub 12ft lb? thanks.
I just bought an Impact .22 and its regulator is at 150 bar. Should I keep it as it came set from the factory or what would you advise?
hello! wich rifle it's the best for you,pulsar laminate or FX impact ? thank you !!!
gostaria de saber onde encontra esse novo chumbo monster redesenhado para comprar pois não achei em nenhuma loja.
How often do you change or clean the Orings? and how difficult it is? Thanks for the videos Matt!
Last one... Does the Wildcat has the same leaking problems? :D
I just got my Impact about a week ago, and may I know how is the power wheel work on the Impact. Does it give a big difference on the FPS, because mine only have a few FPS different on each power setting. Is this normal? I thought it should works like the power wheel on the FX Bocat, will give 10, 18, and 30 FPE different.
After receiving your Crown, which one do prefer? And for what reason?
Hello Matt, can you give me a approx speed I should be looking for using 23g Nielsen slugs on my .22 impact?
Cheers Paul
Matt, do you have any experience with that LimbSaver Sharpshooter X-Ring Barrel De-resonator ? I know it works on centerfires...but I'm interested to know wether it could work on a PCP too. It probably depends on the type of barrel you have on...I noticed that your gun had another barrel at 0:40 than at 0:55 and on. The De-resonator could probably work on the latter, thinner,one.
Hi matt, FX impact is really my dream airgun. Do you guys deal like shipping cause im in philippines right now and how much do it cost?. . Thanks im looking forward to your reply. .
Fx impact
The hollow barrel is good 500mm or 600mm for cal22?
Thank you
At 4:50 what's the purpose of single loading the pellets instead of using the magazine?
EXCELLENT VIDEO WANTED TO ASK SOMETHING YOU WITH YOUR EXPERIENCE IN AIRBORNE CARABINAS I HAVE AN FX IMPACT CALIBER 30 BUT I WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH YOU RECOMMEND ME REGULAR THE REAR REGULATOR TO HUNT LARGE ANIMALS AND MANY LINES IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE REGULAR THAT TURNS THE ONE THAT IS FRONT IN THE CARABINA I THANK YOU TO COLLABORATE ME IN THIS DOUBT.
Hi matt you make me crazy because I am doing job in dubai and I can't wait to go my sweet country and bay that airgone to start honting really you making nice videos
Nice video. 👍
I would have thought that manufacturers ship guns with some sort of oiling in the barrel to prevent rusting.
After a gun is shipped, it will more than likely end up in a damp environment prior to reaching the customer/shop.
Hi Matt, need your help. Just got my impact x.. reg set at 125 when i shoot a knock out slug Cal 0.217 got stick an inch before end of the barrel. Would that means 125 bar is not enough to push the slug? What is the ideal reg pressure for slug. Thank you from Philippines!!!
I am just now getting into the PCP world from centerfire, and more recently small bore competitive shooting at 50/100 yards. Have you looked into barrel tuners like are used in the rimfire world? Your FX and one of my 22LR rifles are close as to the FPS they shoot, and my gun is junk without the tuner. OK not junk, but the groups go from 1.60" down to 0.750" at 100 yards to give you an idea of the effect. We really don't have adjustments like you do, and the barrel and ammo FPS are the factors......and the tuner. Have fun, G.
Hi, then in your opinion the FX model impact it is a great value gun? Is the best purchase now? I 've had a lot of airguns FX, AA, Theo, BSA, Steyr, FWB,...and I conserve so much but I'm looking for the saint grial in 177; maybe this gun will ocuppy this gap?
Be honest and shares with us which is the best airgun you've ever used in 177, 22 and 25.
Thanks.
Grettings from Spain.
Good work!
Jose Cambra Jose Cambra Hola José, yo sé que le pregunto a Matt pero creo que yo le puedo dar una respuesta. En verdad este rifle es si no el más moderno en el mundo en términos de customization a su preferencia. En el calibre .177 este rifle le daría velocidades estables y muchos tiros por refill. Todo está en meter mano y hacer ajustes hasta que su rifle dispare como tú lo deseas. Por lo que e visto si, este rifle tiene el potencial de ser el "santo grial" no solo en .177 si no también en los calibres más grandes.
Espero que esto sea de ayuda. Saludos.
Do you have any experience on helium gas ? and also can use helium on FX?
Hello AirArmsHuntingSA friend! I am Guto from Brazil and I see that you guide us to clean the FX airgun because the pipes come with a bit of factory waste. Well I would like to know how you clean the FX airgun pipe, as I bought a FX Royale and would like to clean the pipe as well. Thank you for your help, my friend.
saludos de México
Parabéns top
Hi, can you help me to tell me the best pneumatic air gun that is compact and small and light weight and I would be grateful to help you
What was your actual reg pressure you settled on? It was pretty difficult to see with the glare.
+Brian Langston Mine is just under 150 Bar
i want to buy it
Hi Mat where do u get your guns from because I also shoot birds and I want to do target shooting.Thanks
Hi, I have a question I just received my new fx impact after waiting 7months so I started to sight it in and I noticed when I fired a Blast of air hits me in my cheek from the cheek weld or magazine area is this normal?
MrLazyHog you need new o ring for barrel
Hello
May I ask if I can buy the impact from your pcp FX impact MKII
Like that gun
@airarmshuntingsa @mattdubber could you do one of these videos for the dreamlite when you get yours please?
What’s better for accuracy, low reg and max hammer or high reg and low hammer ? Thanks
Shooting air rifles with a good mil dot scope does translate into long range center fire shooting. You will learn a lot about windage and bullet drop with an air rifle. You will do a lot more shooting and save gas and time as you will not have to travel as far to shoot the air rifle.
Wat is your best silensir on your fx inpact
Hi Matt, iam using Fx Impact MK II Power Plenum .177, if i want to shoot 100 meter accuracy, how to set it right ? supposed i set power regulator up to 110 and rear power adjustment to max, thanks
Muito bom 👏👏🇧🇷
Olá moro no Brasil... Amazonas Manaus... assisto todos os seus vídeos são muito bom... Tenho muito desejo de ter uma carabina dessa... Apesar de morar tão longe como faço pra adiquirir uma... Seria um sonho realizado...
Hello, what slugs give the best accuracy for the MK2 rifle?
Hi Matt, I'm fairly new in air gunning. I recently acquired an FX Impact in .22 cal. I have determined that the JSB Exact Jumbo Heavy (18.13 grains) is the best pellet for my gun. I have zeroed my gun at 25 yards (I have a fairly high mount) and my average muzzle velocity is about 895 fps. Can you publish the trajectory of this setup or better still show how to determine the pellet drop?
A good tool to help you with this, is called Chairgun. Just enter the pellet and power information and you will get a good idea of what the pellet does at what distance. I personally do not take the results as gospel, as there are many external factors and tolerances that have a significant influence, but it help in general prediction. www.hawkeoptics.com/chairgun.html
Hi Mat,
What you say about the speed of the charge makes a lot of sense. My unregulated rifle is very accurate but I see a change in the POI from a full charge to the other side of the power curve when the velocities are equal. The change is so subtle that you can't see it in even ten shot groups, but shot one to shot thirty may vary by as much as 15-20mm at 25 metres.
+Ian Wishart Yes, that's what I noticed with my unregged rifles as well. My Daystate Wolverine is SUPER accurate and velocities are very consistent across the whole string, but I used to get very frustrated thinking my scope was out, all the time, not realizing that it was just a POI shift due to pressure differences.
Thanks for the reply, Mat. I thought to install a reg. might be the fix but that only resulted in flattening the power curve to the bottom and reducing the shot count by 20%. I have tried different hammer spring and reg. settings, but I prefer the performance of the unregged set up. With the different states of tune and pellet, the direction of the POI changes left to right, up to down or visa Versa. Very strange.
Do they do a complete o ring kit ?
Matt, great video, as always! I've watched your AB101 series with great interest and recommend it to folks with questions.
Would you consider doing an Airguns Master Class on the topic of tuning and accuracy?
It would be interesting to feature not only these high end FX rifles but also a lower price, tunable rifle like the Marauder. You could compare and contrast the advantages of the lower vs. higher cost platforms for tuning.
matt,thats not the standard barrel you get when you buy the Impact?
What is the best overall caliber that u recommend....22...25....30?
Thanks
Hello good afternoon from Dominican Republic l have a fx impact mkll caliber 30.
I have a problem releasing air in a small hole in the rigth, the insurance, please.
My dream toy.
ClashGunsReviews"Still holding my grounds on the center fire use on his Airguns founded channel. I agree on the fact that so much can be learnt and applied from each side of the weapons class but , one thing is to talk about how one can benefit from the other without having to show center fire hunting videos on the Airguns based channel. That could be posted on a different channel itself. Not against center fire guns at all, just trying to give my honest opinion here as a very loyal follower since the beginning of the great experience and knowledge Matt has brought us when he started his hunting videos here. His channel, his decisions , and our opinions. Still love those nice precise high power rifles they have none the less! Keep the good stuff flowing Matt, and hope you get the bugs sorted out about the money cut off on the videos. Best regards!
+AirheadJoe Miranda Noted... I did do a survey a while ago though. I asked my viewers what they wanted, and the majority voted to keep the firearm and bow stuff on the same channel.
Like I said before Matt. it is your channel. I just like the Airguns videos for the fact of the challenge that involves the whole shooting experience with and air rifle, plus the whole bunch of things I have learnt from your valuable info.Thanks from all of us. There are plenty of channels that use fire arms. But ,there are only a very few of GREAT airgun shooting channels like yours,Ted"s ,your buddy AirGunnerSA just to name a few. Great job and I am sure you wont loose any popularity from your loyal viewers like me included, I will just stick to the airgun ones which I love.
By the way, I wasn't included in the survey! Hahahaha! Cheers!
What the best speed for .30cal slugs ? 43.7 gr. Tried ~880 bad grouping... less or higher is better ? reg1-150, reg2-125, macro-16, micro 4, air tank's regulator 5. please suggest @Matt
Which bipod are you using?
How much pressure do it need ??
Hi Matt. I really would like to se someone does a test video at all power settings from the Impact and the Crown!!!
What I mean is from MAX power down to MIN .... And, further down to E D C B A !!!! I can´t find someone who explain these settings special for a .22 cal.
Thanks
I am glad I found your channel, but the wife is not. Just got a FX impact m3 700mm and a Element Nexus. Love the videos.
Review some fun air rifle targets
nice show dear bro
