Avian Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 I've used one belonging to a friend and just bought a FAC one, but it's still with my RFD as I had to go overseas to work a few days before he got itĀ š REALLY nice rifle, very accurate, highly tuneable for velocity and a pleasureĀ to use Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggy Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Had the mk1 in .25 Ā Ā 60 ftlb very accurate well made rifle ,the mk 2 is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyR Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 I have a Mk1 .25 which I have upgraded to mostly Mk2 spec. Fantastic rifle, accurate, short, large mags, huge shot count, good trigger, picatinny rail for NV use, what is not to like. I have had mine for about 2 years and I have not had single fault or leak, when I upgraded from an FAC Cyclone it went from probably the least used rifle in the cabinet to the most overnight. The only thing that would currently make me think twice about investing in a new one now is the advent of the self indexing air rifle, like the Edgun Leishy 2 as I am sure that if these are not banned that FX will bring out their own version quite soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggy Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 What mods have you done ,what barrel you running?Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also changed the shroud for a significantly quieter Hugget version. The power plenum was not easy to fit, I did it wrong a couple of times and had to take it back apart but once fitted its awesome, more power and it uses less air, fantastic. The barrel is still the original 600mm smooth twist one, it shoots so well that I can't see the need to get an X one. I also made a new picatinny rail for it that is much lower than the original so that the when running NV the scope is not stuck miles up in the air, this makes a huge difference when taking very close shots when ratting.

Aggy Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 I have two a .20 lw barrel silver and a black .22 700mm stx that will be getting the power plenum an a .30 kit .variation in at the momentĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggy Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 To the original posterĀ the there are onlyĀ Ā few different parts between the original impact and the Mk2Ā barrel can now have different liners twist rates Ā ,new system will fit mk1Ā larger magazine,ok for target but Imo pointless when hunting ,new system will fit mk1Ā larger gauges ,new ones will fit mk1Ā larger regulator ,not really necessary larger plenum ,probably get swapped for the new power plenum anyway more power more shots less air . the reason I like mine is they are so flexible If you like to tinker and change this you will love the impactĀ mickĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT3_richy Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Looks like a Trail LRF, wont pretend to know what the Pulsar NV units look like though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggy Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Had a N355 when they came out ,from the outside most of the pulsar stuff looks very similar, only looked through thermal a couple of times and itās just next level but silly expensive .

GT3_richy Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 True, a lot of the stuff does look similar! I had a Trail and that looks theĀ same + the LRF unit bolted on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyR Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 It is indeed a Pulsar Trail XQ50 LRF Thermal is the way forward for rat shooting, it just beats any other type of scopeĀ hands down. I disagree abut the the mega mags not being good for hunting, they are fantastic, 28 shots without having to reload is the way forward.
