I wasn't looking for a new ML, but a friend won this gun at a banquet and wanted to sell it cheap so I picked it up. WOW, AM I IMPRESSED!! The first 3 rounds with 100 grains of tripple seven (2 pellets) and a Sabot-ed Hornady XTP hollow point, with iron sights, right out of the box, at 100 yards (that was the only seat open at the range or I would have started up closer) I put 2 of 3 in a 3" target and the third was just outside. It loads easily, and I have done nothing to it since taking it out of the box. It has a "spacer" in the stock for smaller shooters, but my 2 girls have been able to shoot it very well as is. So, if anyone is looking for an entry level, economical in-line ML, with good iron sights, I would highly recommend this gun.
 
I would highly recommend it as well. My whole family has taken a liking to mine, and like you said, it came out of the box hitting dead on using Hornady XTP`s!

I will leave the below comment for any other Impact owners. It just hit me that you mentioned that this rifle has iron sights!
I bought the scope/rifle combination.
I did have one slight problem that is easy to resolve, you might want to check the screws on the scope mounts. I had taken mine for a few day, out of town trip and was in a mess when I noticed my scope loose and then trying to find the right torgue driver and lock-tite to fix it. I`m not sure if the factory puts lock-tite on the screws as a norm, but these didn`t have anything.

I bought one two years ago and am in my third season hunting with it. I am very pleased with it. I now have a 2 X 7 X 32 Burris scope which I am also very pleased with. I have had no trouble with loose screws. I generally shoot 250 Gr. Barnes TEZ sabots over 80 Gr. equivalent of BH209 with CCI 209M primers. This combination will shoot through a 3" hardwood tree.
 
It's my first and only ML I bought last year. 250gr. T/C Shockwave over two Pyrodex pellets puts three rounds into a cloverleaf at 100 yards. Open sights, of course. I haven't done much shooting or hunting this year, so I'd like to try going to loose powder and loading my cast 230gr. .45 ACP bullets in sabots next year.

Ten years after I bought it, I'm still hunting with my TC Impact. I shot two whitetail bucks with it in 2020. I'm still shooting the same load, but I use Barnes 250 Gr. Expander MZ bullets with MTM HP-24 Sabots. I can't say that these work better than the TEZ, but they do work. I got tired of having my scope fog up in the wet weather that we have around here, so I bought another TC Impact and set it up with a Williams peep sight. In 2019, I shot one Whitetail with the scoped rifle and one with the peep sight rifle.
