SH - Glad to see someone finally posting a range report. I can't wait to burn some powder. Going to be hitting the road tomorrow morning at 0'dark thirty and hopefully get in late tomorrow night.

He was the one started popping off Pete. Just figured I would allow him to back his BS. He jumps on any non CVA post and tries to put down the product. Time for him to be called on his crap is all. And BTW, yes Deb can use opens out to 200 very well. Me on the other hand, I even scope my hunting handguns! My eyes didn't age as well as yours did. My close up vision is caput! Can't see open sites worth a damn anymore.

YEA! LOL
Anyways,I got the Impact. I'm impressed with the quality of it. No slop in the action at all. The stock seems of good quality. I've dealt with so called "Tupperware"stocks that come with some factory centerfire rifles. This isn't one of them. I'll probably at some point paint it though. Finish is fine. Sights are really nice but I can barely focus on them so will be putting a Leupold M8 2.5x20mm w/hvy plex on it. I removed the spacer on the buttstock . It shoulders just like I need it to. I normally have to reduce the LOP on my centerfires either by replacing the recoil pad with a butt plate or cutting the stock and reinstalling the recoil pad. The adjustable LOP on this Impact was a major reason in choosing it. Gonna be a while before I can shoot it but then as they say all good things are worth waiting for.

I teamed up with Jon once in a BP shoot. We beat everybody. Jon can shoot.

Uhh Pete, care to tell me how a firearm can shoot all by it's little lonesome? He's the one always spouting off and downing everything other than CVA products. I feel it's time to put up or shut up. Plain and simple. The old saying "money talks, BS walks" is quite fitting in this instance. He want's to talk crap and down the Impact, then let him back up his talk. Until then he can stay the hell off any of my field reports. That plain enough?

I looked at the Triumph when I was in the market for another inline. It just didn't feel right to me and I ended up getting a CVA Accura V2 and I love it. But that Impact looks like a nice rifle. I'm 5'9" and I like a short LOP. I have a 20 ga 870 youth that is my favorite turkey gun. It's like carrying a BB gun.
But as far as getting another inline I prefer the traditionals. But if I were in the market, I'd definitely look at the Impact.

Im not even sure why a traditional ML was brought up in this section and topic. You guys have your own "play ground" now and neither CVA or Knight offer a traditional ML.
Seems to me there were no restrictions in the challenge. No need to be fair or equal. "ANY" would include all possible Impact configurations, distance and bullet type.

against any impact all day long LOL!!
