FX Airguns Impact M3 Bronze Reviews

Easy to shoot accurately once I figured out the tuning process, and appropriate distance for pellet weight.

It’s expensive!

You can go through a lot of pellets or slugs pretty fast. It’s a pleasure to shoot.

Great great rifle I love it I just got mine and Im happy with the purchase

The price

Craftsman shop. PERCISION.

Don't tell your wife how much it cost. Just say about 5.Thats the best one I could up with. Meaning about 5000 with goodies

Its comfortable, easy to swing, repeatable accuracy almost makes it boring...I hardly ever miss my target. I have a range off my deck out to 133 yards. I can easily his golf balls and bottle caps at that distance. I have shot JSB Exact King heavies as well as JSB Hades mixed together in a clip and at 35 yards they still make a big ragged hole together. At 50 yards they scatter a little more. I also put various Nielson slugs through it, they shoot great, but at 133 yards I guess I still prefer Exact Heavies, and will probably just stick with those as a one and done pellet. I tried twisting the barrel to slug mode. It's louder, barely faster, and I swear it's less accurate. I quickly went back to pellet mode and will never change again. In a nutshell, this gun is a surgeon's scalpel. How can a single hole at 50 yards be improved on? I have 3 powder burners that can do that, and one that does it at 200 yards. But this gun has the potential on a non windy day to rival

The clip is sometimes difficult to load quickly into the gun. I find myself fumbling once in a while. it also rattles with the pellets loaded in it, while its in the gun. It just seems like it will break after repeated use when twisting the lock mechanism and removing the plastic cover all the time. Time will tell...

Yes it's expensive. Again it's expensive. But I have shotguns and rifles that cost more, but I only shoot them a few times a year if at all because I have to drive to the range or find buddies to shoot sporting clays with me. This gun I can shoot every day in my own yard and the neighbors can only hear the slap of the pellet on the steel plates or squirrels head. So I had no problem justifying the price. I will continue to bring down the cost everyday I shoot it. I already want the .35 to go with my Bulldog. I did get this one in .25 and am glad I did, because I will never will have a use for my .22 pcp's and will just end up selling them or giving them to my kids. If I had to pick one caliber for this gun it's .25 The pellets are readily available and hit so hard. I can't wait till there is a crow at the end of my 133 yard range. Maybe today?

Haven't un-boxed it yet.

FX impact was on back order and was told a 3 to 6 month wait. Placed order for the rifle thinking I could add a scope and other accessories before the back order was filled. Received notice it arrived and was being shipped just weeks after placing order. Shipping refused to hold it for additional accessories I wished to purchase, then one day later, package carrier tracking showed it on the way to me. Placed an order with Amazon for a nice $cope required for the rifle.

High pressure air fitting, for connecting to a compressor are difficult to find with the correct tread pitch. They're non-standard hermaphrodite type threads. I ended up buying a hose, gauge, bleed valve connector assembly with standard threads, to fit my compressor.

Long distance high accuracy

Best air rifle I've ever used

Super super impressed 5 shot group the size of your thumbnail at 50 yd So with that being said I love the gun no complaints

Don't know its awesome

Expect a long wait for one of these FX impact 3 but they're worth it

This rifle is great, shoots like a dream, and very accurate right out of the box with the 18 gr JSB pellets. What a nice piece of fine quality workmanship.

I would have liked FX to offer different options on the Impact M3 like the trigger guard, shoulder plate and cheek piece. It would have been nice to be able to choose the extended version of the trigger guard that extends under the air bottle, an adjustable cheek rest or adjustable shoulder plate. I know these extra parts would cost more and the rifle would have to be a special order but that would be up to the buyer to choose an option. What I don't like is to buy something and have to take off parts and replace them with aftermarket parts and what I have left are some useless parts. That being said I would still buy another FX Impact M3 in a heartbeat.

Buy the Impact M3 you won't be sorry it is a great rifle right out of the gun case. And let me say the fitted gun case the rifle is in is very well built and has plenty of room for extra accessories.

EASE OF SETUP AND OPERATION / ACCURACY IS PHENONIMAL

more adjustments on stock

NOT A CHEAP PIECE BUT WORTH EVERY PENNY

Fabulous

Ability to quickly fine tune for any ammo or performance on the fly. Exceptional accuracy. Easy to break down to upgrade or service. Easy to change caliber.

Quality control. Loose screws here and there, causing initial issues. Easily fixed, but for a rifle that cost two thousand dollars? The fact that one of their own techs recommends immediately replacing certain parts from an aftermarket company to improve factory build on a rifle that costs 2k is absurd.

There is definitely a learning curve for tuning one of these rifles. Don't just jump into it 'halfcocked' and expect to shoot like the guys on YouTube. Do your homework and you will have a precision instrument that shoots like a laser! FX-USA support has been EXCELLENT!!!!

All I can say is WOW shoots 22cal 25.39 JSBs at 912. One hole at 50yrds.

Have not found anything yet.

This rifle is extremely accurate. My platform is a .25 cal with 600 mm barrel. Right out of the box it shoots JSB exact pellets into 1/4Inch to half inch groups at 50 yards. With the dual regulators the velocities are within four f.p.s. for a full shot string.

Mine came with a manual for the Mk2 instead of the M3. I did find a digital version of the correct manual online.

I like everything about it--too many to name. I'll also include Pyramid Air in this. Top notch.

The only suggestion I have is a better cheek piece. Actually there is none.

Be wary of the "advisors" on you Tube. Most are O.K. but some are a little "inventive". They are well meaning but some don't consider all aspects of their info!!!

I just started air gunning last year. I made the initial purchase and wasn't happy with the results. So I bought another springer, and the accuracy was much better, it still wasn't what I wanted. SO I bought this rifle. Now this is accurate! Stacks pellet on pellet, in fact, you have to be carefully how many shots at one target or it will eat through 12" of stuffed cardboard pretty quickly. And I can tinker with it, like I do in powder burning ammo, to achieve the best results. And if you have a question, FX is quick on the response. And the moderator works great, much quieter than my subsonic springer-it's backyard friendly, proved you keep in mind it's extreme range and power. In fact, it's mouse fart quiet.

I tool kit would be nice. Since everything is metric. I have allen wrenches in metric and some seem too large to fit, even though FX states that is the size.

If you want accuracy, stop right now and order this rifle; but keep in mind, you should be willing to work with the airflow to maximize the results. FX tunes the gun at the factory for a set load, if you shoot different sizes, be prepared to have varying results. Also, order lots of ammo, and I mean lots, you'll need it.

The first impact MK2 in bronze I ordered was defective out of the box . I do not understand how this could happens as they are supposedly tested at FX before shipping . Pyramid air did give a refund or exchange for new rifle but I would of had too wait approximately 10 days too receive the new rifle seems kind of Ridiculous for a $2200 rifle. I new one should have be sent as soon as return is on its way back To pyramid air instead I opted for a return and purchased a second rifle out of pocket and waited 10 plus days for return of funds for the first .

Quicker returns on out of box defective items . Have a 2 hour immediate exchange dead line for defective guns .A pre delivery check list on high end items .

My second impact MK2 works as it should and is very accurate. I just ordered a second in 35cal. Pyramid air has been great with returns and refunds just would be nice if it was a little quicker but you cant ask for too much during these times.

I've been waiting on my impact for months, and it is an epic gun. It's also very simple to work on imo. It is extremely accurate, and shoulders beautifully for me. If you have the $$$ I would recommend buying the FX impact X MII if you enjoy tuning and tinkering. The adjustability, and caliber options for this pup is amazing. The craftsmanship is 1st class.i own the FX crown countinum, and this gun is another animal. I absolutely love my impact, and don't misunderstand me the FX crown countinum is a nice gun, but the FX impact X MII has every gun beat. I own allot of pcp's to many to list, so that says allot.

An Option to add a 800mm barrel, and a 357 barrel kit.

The FX impact X MII is a true work of art, moreover if you're not mechanically inclined imo and you're looking at purchasing this gun. I would look at the wildcat MIII or something much more simpler to maintain, and not have so many options to screw around with. Because if you don't do your homework on this gun, and start playing with the adjustments you can destroy this gun, and possibly have to send it in for major repair.

Ability to tune gun to various pellets. Lots of online information regarding FX Impact tuning. Nice and quiet with stock moderator.

Lots of online information regarding FX Impact tuning. Five shot strings for each hammer spring dial setting. JSB Diablo King Heavy 33.95gr and Hades 26.54gr. Initial MAX hammer spring (HS) = 5.7mm. King Heavy best @ HS "C" - 875 fps (SD=1.3). Hades best at HS 4 - 943 fps (SD=1.5) and HS 1 - 932 fps (SD = 1.3). Regulator set to 120 bar.

The side lever cocking is very smooth, and the gun is very accurate.

an extra magazine would be nice...

keep it clean, read the owners manual.

I spent over $2000.00 for a lemon. Hope I can make lemonade. I am beginning to think FX is trying to make too many guns and letting quality slip and its a little over hyped.

Ship the gun with all the parts. Check your factory tune mine shooting between 440 fps and 551 fps when the FX chorno picks up about one in eight shots. I have had to switch to low power and pistol to get it to finally pick up low velocities.

Shooting between 440 fps and 551 fps when the FX chorno picks up about one in eight shots. I have had to switch to low power and pistol to get it to finally pick up low velocities. I will start working on the tune to try and get up too 850 fps with 44 grain JSB pellets. Waiting for FX USA to send me the parts that did not come with the gun.
