    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

    Considering the price difference I'd keep the HW100 - even a good Impact will not be any more accurate than a good HW100.

    The 100 and the impact are 2 very different animals imho. N9t rifles.I.would compare sode by side to be honest.
    I think the impact scores iro FAC and switch barrel. In sub 12 I think the 100 is the safer bet. The impact is by its very nature a more complex animal and due to the switch barrel and adjustable output nature...it just doesnt seem to be the ideal.for a.1 cal sub 12 rifle. As a bull pup...its designed as a bull pup so the lever is front of your face not behinfld your earhole yet its still a full length barrel.

    As a hunter and HFT the 100 is a bugger to beat imho especially if you dump the steel cylinder and whack an alloy tube in.

    The mags are.brilliant...difficult to.double load and the single.shot adapter is brilliant and.means a steel sheet goes in.front of the hammer spring so an accidental or negligent discharge isnt going to make all three sides of the triangle.

    Both are excellent rifles but there mot really comparable in terms of style nor price either. I just cant look at an impact and think sub 12 .177 cal as an only option.
    In a battle of wits I refuse to engage with an unarmed person.
    To one shot one kill, you need to seek the S. Kill only comes from Skill

    Yes agreed but none other than fx present the external adjustability that fx do for tuning the gun to how you want & there barrel sleeve idea really does mean you can tailor your rifle to do whatever you want. No one else has come anywhere near fx for there enginuity in there design and they are still presenting rifles for the same money as most of the other leading top tear manufacturers, therefore if your spending that sort of money I think fx by far present the best value for money in that price range.
    What your talking about is why the likes of gamo, air arms, BSA, hatsan and walther all make sub £800 rifles, for people that are happy with "just pushing a pellet". That's all fine, I guess its just what your into
