philpot 4,928 Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 I also have a slot for a .22 barrel for the Impact which I was not going to bother with but a .22 barrel could be an interesting possibility although mine is not the 'X' barrel system so not sure where that puts me. I also think it is early days in the UK and other countries around Europe with slug / barrel / sleeve development so I will just hold back for now AND I have just bought the Tikka / scope but nevertheless interesting thoughts guys.

FX make different twist rate pellet and slug liners to go in there barrels . Basically you unscrew the liner from your barrel , then screw another one in , only takes couple of minutes Quote Link to post
Sausagedog 7,381 Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 So are they smooth bore and a rifled section screws in like on a shotgun and screw in chokes? Quote Link to post

philpot 4,928 Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Must admit Si, I cannot get my head around an external twist, how the hell can that work. As you know, I am a big FX fan and possibly the first on here to get an Impact but as much as I take on board all the superb technical break throughs that Fredrick has done with his company, this one has lost me (not difficult I hear you say). Perhaps one day it can be explained to me. Phil 2 Quote Link to post
