New Rifle - FX Impact!

It's new rifle time again and this time i've really gone for something a bit different; it's the new FX Impact, As we speak it's currently on preorder and is due in the new year. I've heard nothing but good things about FX and their growing popularity seems to be matched by the guns performance and price, as it' a lot of gun for the money! 

Now what makes this so different? well its a take down rifle, or TDR for all the tacticool shooters out there, it's also a bullpup! what this means is you effectively get a full length barrel but with carbine length, giving you super pointability and manoeuvrability in confined spaces, which was part the reason i've decided to opt for the impact over other rifles on the market today. 

As you can see as it stands at the moment there are 2 different colour options, full back and this rather smart silver version to, i've decided to go all black, just to keep things low key. for all you none UK readers out there it'll be a fully interchangeable set up with multiple calibres and adjustments available to you but i'll just be sticking with the sub 12 ft/lb version in .177.

One thing i am yet to decide though is what optic to blt onto the top of this superb piece of Swedish engineering... i had thought stick with what i know and go for the Hawke Sidewinder, just with a slightly smaller objective than my current 56mm ones. but then the thought occurred, why not change? i've had my eye on the MTC connect scope for a while but never really got to test one out fully, which is a shame, as the £245 asking price is a fair old price tag for a scope i have little to no experience with. then theres the Nikko Sterling scopes, they've always been a solid choice for anyone, but again i have little experience with them, I think the size will be a big factor, which is why  i think the connect is a stand out option, but we'll see! 

credit where credit's due, some of the only pictures i could find of this rifle in person were from ted's post on airgun nation, if you haven't seen his channel please go and check it out, his video's were part the reason i started hunting rather than just target shooting, simply search for teds holdover and his video's will pop straight up! So until i finally get my hands on this fine rifle here are a few pictures and a short video i found on youtube of it being tested!
