Some of these new Airguns are crazy accurate. I talked to a guy a couple months ago that had a new Impact MKII. He knows his guns so I knew he wasn't BS'ing me and he said it was almost laughable how accurate the thing was. He got his in 25 caliber but I think you can swap barrels on them. Like most things good they are a little expensive but it sounds like they're a lot of fun.
From talking to him he got his from Utah Airguns and it sounds like it came pretty well dialed in. He didn't get the longer barrel because he wanted to keep it a little more compact but from reading it sounds like the longer 700mm is maybe the better choice as long as the extra length isn't a problem. He went with a 25 caliber based on their recommendations and said the thing was crazy accurate.That's the one I am planning on getting as well (FX Impact MkII) in .25 cal. You know much about them? I'm undecided on barrel length for that caliber, could use some input if you have any. 600mm or 700mm?
Amen brother!RWS Diana 34 will do everything Pathfinder thinks it can't do.
I love mine and my search for air rifles stopped the day I got it.
Spot on about finding the pellet your rifle likes. I went through about 8 different tins and found the ones my rifle likes. Turns out, they were some of the cheapest too. win-win. 1/4-1/2" groups at 25 yards is not uncommon, and I use a cheap Simmons 4x32 scope on mine with no issues at all.Amen brother!
Springer guy here too. First, find the pellet, both brand and weight, your rifle likes. Second, practice artillery hold. They are accurate.
Shooting a springer off my pack definitely carries over to a cf rifle at a fraction of the cost.
My recommendations: Weihrauch HW 95 or 30 or Diana RWS 34
