FX Impact M3 PCP Air Rifle

With the release of the FX Impact M3, the Swedish manufacturer has not only left a lasting "Impact" on the airgun industry, they have also set a new standard for what a modern PCP Air Rifle should be. The Impact M3 features dual Adjustable Match Precision (AMP) regulators, external micro and macro hammer spring tension adjustment, and an external valve control adjustment. Together, these features represent a level of adjustability never before seen in the airgun world. While you may not need or want to alter these adjustments, the ability to test different settings and see their performance is at your fingertips.

The adjustability doesn't stop there. The Impact M3 also utilizes the Smooth Twist X Superior barrel liner system that allows for the interchanging of calibers. Maybe more importantly, the system provides users the ability to purchase different liners made with different rifling twist rates specifically tailored to certain ammo. The possibilities are seemingly endless!  And with the improved Power Plenum 720, the output performance adjustability is enhanced even more! This allows for a wider power adjustment range without sacrificing shot count.

No detail was overlooked on the Impact. Shouldering the rifle highlights the ergonomic friendliness of the design. The AR style grip and safety switch are a welcome set of features that will be comfortable for many shooters. The stock is capped off with a vertically adjustable rubber buttpad. Probably the most user friendly feature is the forward mounted reversible cocking lever that cycles the high capacity magazine with ease. Follow up shots will come at blistering speed, and the lightweight, match grade adjustable trigger allows you to place shots with extreme precision. 

As of early 2022, FX Introduced the Impact M3 with the new rear Power Block. The power plenum stages the power capabilities of the FX Impact, the rear block handles that transfer of power much like a car’s carburetor. FX has completely redesigned the rear block and the valve house which allows for better air flow, efficiency, and power potential.
The Power Block will be especially useful for those who desire to shoot heavy slugs. The pressure in the plenum can better translate to the pressure behind the slug upon firing, allowing higher speeds and power. Those shooting heavy slugs are encouraged to add the FX Impact Tungsten Hammer weight to also allow for higher working pressures.

Available in multiple barrel lengths, FX has ensured that each rifle will be stealthy via their unique stackable moderator system that puts the user in control of their sound output by allowing stackable shroud sections to be added or removed.
