Yep, tend to agree. You will spend 90 percent carrying out maintenance on it, especially as it ages. You really have to be mechanically minded or willing to learn. Not for the faint-hearted. God help you if you are nowhere near a support source.

I don't own a FX Maverick so I can't really help you. But it sounds as if a oring has gone. On the Impact the little hole leads down to the regulator assembly on which there are six orings to replace. Just a guess. If you don't already have them get a hold of the exploded diagrams on your rifle from the net. This is a good start. Also check out for videos on the net regarding working on the Maverick. I'm sure Ernest Rowe had made some. Good luck.

I'm in Western Australia. If you're close I'm happy to show you what I've learnt. I wouldn't charge you.

Thanks for watching it. I encourage you to watch the FX Masterclass series videos with Ernest Rowe. I think he has some highly recommended videos on the M3.. Also join the Airgun Nation forum. Heaps of excellent info there. For me the closest help is 2,500 miles away. Thank god for the internet.

Just curious…. It’s been a year since you made this comment- are you glad you bought it or are you regretting it because of leaks?

Glad you enjoyed it.

No idea. The rifle came with the 15. It's what I found when I opened it up.

@@theferalhunter7269 whats caliber?

@@gigagiga4172 .25 cal

None whatsoever.

The lights power up off the battery even though it is dc

Hi Mark, you will not regret it. I use mine all the time now. Wouldn’t be without them.

Thanks Steve. I try and give viewers examples and practical ideas. I hunt at night mostly so it has to work.

How are you going with it 5 months on? Do they collapse to sitting height? Seemed in the vid you can only use them standing?

Overall I still love it. If I ran over it with my truck, I'd go out and buy another. In fact the new models have a leg locking feature. Might be worth looking into. The one I'm using in the video is the larger 62inch (I think). Not good for sitting. I would look at this one for sitting: www.primos.com/products/trigger-sticks/trigger-stick-gen-3-short-tripod/ So, final summary....no regrets. Still going strong.

Ok great. Yeah the shorter one might suit me better. Did a bit of a google search and found it difficult to find a stockist here in Oz. Will keep searching. Cheers for the review. Very informative.

Yep, man, what a nightmare. Was it worth it?? Time will tell.

The Feral Hunter well was it worth it Joe ? What do you think of the 19X ?

Top of the wazza scope. But, I have to sell it.It's the only one in the world. Beakie74 if you're the man from the Nightvisionforum check your forum emails.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Actually at the time the displayed aluminium garden stakes were the tallest available to me. I personally found them annoying. Carrying a 1.8m pair would not be practical for me hunting in bushy areas. They get caught up too easy. After spending money on different tripods I found the Primos lightweight, smooth as silk, quiet as a mouse(I actually hunt rats with this tripod) and one finger application sold me. It's the case of the big "C". Convenience. But, as you said, each has it's different applications.

The unit has an illuminated screen so it's really easy to read the numbers. It's just a simple case of pressing the correct buttons. Each rangefinder works in it's own way.

+VerminHuntersTV . Here is a suggestion- Epoxy a quarter inch nut to a holder of some sort. The holder can then house your laser distance meter. I'm in the building maintenance game so I had one lying around. Most of the time it sat in my truck. Only used occasionally.

+The Feral Hunter . Great suggestion. Thanks.

verminhunter have u tired this out and if yes does it work gd m8
