I thought that same thing until I spent a few hours with a Crown, wow what a rifle and a match for anything Ive owned over the years, it was so nice I bought it and its proving very good indeed to be honest, very light, huge shotcount, extremely accurate with either the .177 or .25 barrel. Ive just bought a wildcat on the strength of itOriginally Posted by WILBA

Its a shame that so many shooters knock the Impact. Fair enough they are a complicated design but having owned both a Mk1 and now a brand new Mk2 I have personally never had a problem with one. Believe me, I have gotten through an awful lot of shots with no issues. I would comment that the newer barrel and regulator appear to allow additional levels of accuracy though, as a couple of friends also having bought the new version would agree.
The Maverick is obviously a hybrid between a Mk 3 Wildcat and MK2 Impact after a drunken liaison on the town. I like the idea of two regulators which will obviously help to reduce the loading on an item that has to manage from 250 to about 60 bar air management wise. Yet another member of the ever growing FX family to consider. Well done FX!

It appears to me that Sportsman may be profiteering on the sale price. Matt Dubber in the video on the Maverick says it will have a release price of $1400. At approx 1.34 dollars to the pound that works out at near £1050. Not £1530 that the sniper version I was quoted. For a cheaper to produce design , it does not save that much over an Impact.
Some dealers are selling the Mark 11 sniper impact at £1690 and some over £1800. I would think that when stock levels are up a bit and more dealers have them to sell there will be a better deal to be had.

That's a bit harsh, both my FAC MK1 .25 Impact and FAC Mk2 .22 wildcat are superb.
One shot, one kill. Not luck, just skill.

So you’re saying that but never owned one ?

my m8s .25 m2 impact is the most accurate airgun i have ever seen, ragged one hole groups at 50m with a variety of different pellets/slugsHmm. Someone doesnt know their arse from their elbow lol....
yes i has had some teething problems, but these were down to a assembly error not design error.
it's the same with bsa, people constantly slate them without ever owning them. all the bsa guns i have owned have been flawless, my m8s bsa's have been flawless the only problem i have heard off over here was a bad batch of lightnings which were all instantly swapped by bsa. i have just ordered another .22 ultra as a barn gun because they are compact light and silly accurate

On what basis have you drawn this conclusion? A few threads on forums? As already said the Mk1 impact did have issues - 4 or so years ago......the later ones are generally sorted.
well said.Hmm. Someone doesnt know their arse from their elbow lol....
Can you give examples of every model having problem with cocking and leaking? Having owned 4 I can honestly say that that I haven’t had the same experience.
There’s a lot of generalisations in this thread. A bit like daystate of old....please move with the times and support one of the few manufacturers taking our sport forward!
