Description

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.

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.

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?

Thank you for your honest review. I'm taking the plunge in a 30 and this review really helped. Happy shooting

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.

"Placed order for the rifle thinking I could add a scope and other accessories before the back order was filled" - poor assumption. Your review has nothing to do with the quality of the rifle itself. If you want to review the seller, do so elsewhere.

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.
