  • I filmed this BEFORE the Saber Rail & GRS Bipod combo was developed (and you will see details about those products in other people's videos) but I will say that they work GREAT with this setup. The top-mounted bipod creates a very stable platform. And to answer some other questions I anticipate will pop up: YES, the tensioner will be available for other barrel lengths, YES the 800mm barrel will be available for other calibers up to .35 and YES I will be using this setup for RMAC PRS, shooting slugs;)
  • The fact that his innovation was recognized and then partnering at FX is brilliant! Matt, hats off for changing lives and to FX for not just stealing the concept as most large corporates do. This is a good story, can’t wait to purchase mine when they available 👌🏽

    Matt, you are my airgun university! I learn so much from your channel. Keep at it, buddy!
  • I haven't found any other airgun site or channel that presents information so well and gives so much time to the development and practical progress in airgun technology. Congratulations Matt and Hein, FX and Roelf on the slug development and testing aspects. There is no real need for another comment, but this is the second time I have watched this video because there is so much that I am learning from it.
  • Thanks for another excellent video, Matt. I got my first pellet gun in 1960 at age 12 and have been rather obsessed with airguns ever since, including their significance in history. Now I'm watching history in the making as you and other airgun enthusiasts and manufacturers move the art and industry forward. Very exciting. Jess

    Absolutely love the content Matt! Your content is the main reason I started getting into airguns and I love how you use them in real world hunts and situations but also have the educational side too, for someone like me who is brand new to the air gun world I really appreciate the explanations of how to do things and set things up, it really helps me understand everything and get a better idea on the ballistic and technical side of it too. Keep up the good work Matt!

    I’ve been thinking when something like this would come out for a long time will they be available for other FX models in time it’s incredible to watch fx just moving forward and progressing a lot has changed in the time i’ve been watching your channel probably 7 years now
  • @Alphahydro
    Excellent story and how everything came together. Good stuff
  • I love that Hein is getting to do what he loves and that you helped him achieve his dream of working with air rifles for a living it’s a beautiful story
  • @tonyv8925
    Great video. I enjoy some of the technical aspects of your airgun systems. Explains how you are able to attain such incredible accuracy. Thanks for sharing.

    Well done Matt. It is always a good day in "school" when you explain the advancements in our sport. I just recently purchased my first FX and am totally in love with it after just a couple of dozen shots. I got the Wildcat MKIII BT in .22. Eventually, I will have an impact and I look forward to building it with the latest improvements/add ons. Vote is out on the caliber right now but thinking .30 as I would like to compete in the bench rest at RMAC, etc. Thanks so much for all that you and people like do for us.
  • Incredible! I am so thankful for all you guys! So awesome to watch this innovation thru the years, I started in 2010 with a benjamin marauder been watching u ever since! I cant wait to get my hands on all the new gear, ive been looking forward to it for the past year, hope i can place an order soon!
  • @Two_Waters

  • @varmintknockers
    Great video Matt , the Impact with all these new upgrades will be a excellent airgun and yes I'm looking forward to where things will go into the future with these airguns .
  • I'm so happy for him, it is always great to work at job you love. I'm so happy for him.
  • @alexprice1735
    Great video Matt very well explained keep up the good work.
  • You and Roelf are leading many things, I must say I bought and M3 in December took a while to get use to it and learn the rifle. Can’t wait for you guys to do a master class in Johannesburg.
