My 'TX' works absolutely fine, just sayin...
And Air Arms have had as many issues with their product especially the higher end target gear which is a better comparison to a TX. The TX has also been around donkeys so any "issues" will have been put to bed. Its also a springer and some peeps ...including myself....jus5 are not interested in dinosaur technology as many springer boys are not interested in pushing technology forward.
You choose which pony you want to ride. Your TX was once cutting edge but it isnt any.ore. the boundaries have been pushed weĺl beyond TX tech. But like any cutting edge...it doesnt mean its right or doesnt need tweaking.
The Impact is a very technical bit of kit. Its sub and FAC. its switch barrel and adjustable power so the issues it has to cover make a TX look like paper clip engineering.

To one shot one kill, you need to seek the S. Kill only comes from Skill
It's not just FX though is it. If you think about it their are a lot of very expensive guns in production and all have suffered failings which shouldn't have got past QC. My most expensive airgun these days is my Gladius and surprise surprise, it worked as it should out of the box.
You can spend thousands and still miss a barn door or spend just enough and enjoy yourself. If you haven't got the talent to start with a million pound won't fix it. Whippet, Russell, a few bang sticks and a flat cap. http://www.smart-tech1st.co.uk
Just so you all know that following a busy weekend of "Impact Action" and another tin of mainly .22 JSBs, the gun continues to shoot very straight and has still not developed any of the feared and apparently common misfortunes described by other owners. The only additions to my rig have been the dropping of my 30 mm mounts to reduce scope cant and the fitment of a spirit level to my .177 scope. This tightened up the long range accuracy even further.
Fourteen tins and no issues in either calibre. I feel I might be tempting fate now so I will stop making positive comments!

I would not worry about making positive comments Andy, it's good to hear things going well for some people, it's a pity a post like this ever gets aired, but it seems to be more common now with most manufacturers either getting guns out too quickly or not doing enough R&D in the first place, it was just FX in the firing line this time with a gun that should have been one of the most innovative and important guns of 2016 - and arguably still is?

It's clearly a fantastic rifle if it's running 100%. The chap on YouTube, tedsholdover has won a 100yd bench rest competition with a .25 one.
How do you find the trigger?
