philpot 4,942 Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Well pleased for you Jimmy, you need some good stuff going on in your life my friend. I use a Dr Bobs bottle band on my Impact and as the bottle is the same, should be no problem. I must say that the bottle band with a decent bi-pod is much better than the Atlas clones and as it is a little further forward, more stable in my opinion. I have switched back to using mine from the clone which is crap. As a matter of interest, I checked with ASI before I used the bottle band method and they confirmed that the Royale series of guns have used this method for years so no damage will be done to the gun. Roll on Saturday matey Phil Quote Link to post
philpot 4,942 Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Just put a micrometer thingy on the Dr Bobs band and it is 1.6mm thick. Hope that helps. Phil Quote Link to post

Check with FX as they say you can but it only needs a tiny nip to hold in place, only a fool would clamp it up tight. Phil Quote Link to post
