just picked up a like new (cant tell its been used/shot) t/c impact, camo stock with weather shield barrel. very nice muzzleloader, the guy says its loaded with 150 grs. behind a t/c shockwave. he gives me the pellets,primers,and bullets and right away i notice the pellets are 30 gr. i remove the breach plug and out falls 3 30gr. pellets! then as im looking at the scope i notice it has POWERLINE 3x9x32 printed on it...yep you guessed it....it has a BBgun scope on it!
im thinking its probably a good thing i traded him out of it...
you dont quit playing because you get old...you get old because you quit playing!

Really nothing wrong with 90grains powder. I prefer loose.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

The Impact has a removable stock insert that helps it fit young shooters better. My brother has one and it is very accurate and a lot easier to load than my old Omega. I prefer loose powder as I have rarely found the most accurate load with pellets, not to mention the crud ring that 777 leaves.

Well, he probably had a better load with the 3X30gr charge than the 3X50gr. Selling it still loaded though is kinda out of the ordinary. I've left mine charged during the season, depending on the weather, but it stays in the garage or barn. No way I'd store one inside with a charge. Might be safe, but I'm paranoid about it.
BTW, nice rifle

I set up my 10 y/o daughter with an Impact last year. With the stock spacer removed, it fit her perfectly.
