Blaser F3 Professional Review.

[@ATINKERER]

It's nice to see someone talk about and display the lockup parts of the gun.

[@dimosthenismagos7982]

Lloyd, i was wondering about you the other day. I am glad you are fine and back to the service !! Very nice review as always. I own the newest F3 in 32 inch flat rib and i can share your enthusiasm !!

[@lloydyp]

Thank you sir.

[@stefanosbouratzis4546]

As always what a detailed rewiew. Propably you've set a nominne for the best presentation for Sporting guns prize!

[@lloydyp]

lol thanks man

[@williamm.2934]

Got a f3 couple of months ago, the pad still has a hard plastic portion, I put a kick eez on it better off

[@lloydyp]

Agreed.

[@aimkhan83]

Great review very informative.

[@lloydyp]

Thank you.

[@jcrsa]

Lloyd, I would like to see your review of the new Browning Ultra XS Pro. Regards.

[@lloydyp]

So would I as it happens. Just need to sweet talk Browning into sending me one.

[@rudigrest4013]

great gun my but but but ______ mine had blacking problems on action and barrels . dark semi circles in top barrel now sold !!!!

[@lloydyp]

I know a few people who have had problems with the finish.

[@davidjohansson2282]

It's been a much awaited review. Pro is it the same as the Competition?

[@lloydyp]

I think the F3 Competition is the new name for the F3 Pro. I cant see any difference in spec thats for sure.

[@mikedupree832]

Great Review. might you have a review and/or compare/contrast a F3 toF16?

[@lloydyp]

Have a look at my f16 review, I do mention the two guns in there if I remember correctly.

[@mikedupree832]

@@lloydyp Thanks will do. In market for new gun. Thinking about something other that Browning or Berwtt

[@beeeeee77]

Lloyd thank you for such an interesting video. My question is, will shotgun with 28" barrel be effective enugh for sporting targets? If it is, then what is the difference between 28" and 30" barrels and why 30" are more preferable then 28" for sporting targets?

[@lloydyp]

Longer sight radius and more momentum, aside from that it's personal preference.

[@beeeeee77]

@@lloydyp would it mean that you would be able to hit a target with 28" on the same distance as you do it with 30" barrel? I mean long targets.

[@lloydyp]

Do you mean in terms of muzzle velocity or in the swing on a long target?

[@beeeeee77]

@@lloydyp I mean distence, if you have appropriate chokes, would you hit long targets with the same success as you would do with 30" barrel? I'm trying to figer out if it is possible to hit the targets with 28" with the same success as you would do with 30"

[@lloydyp]

Yeah course it is. The length of the tubes will affect muzzle velocity, but it's a smooth bore and there will be little difference in accuracy. The more important things are inertia, balance and sight radius.

[@mrsplashboy1]

Hi Lloyd , I am looking at buying a second hand f3 sporter with adjustable stock and iwas wondering is there any of knowing the age off the gun I asked the dealer but didn't seem to no Thanks Lloyd. keep those videos coming

[@lloydyp]

There are essentially 3 versions of the F3: The original which has a lighter coloured action, the Mk2 with darker action, and the mk3 with the F3 in a silver or gold instead of yellow. there are other changes but they are the easiest to spot.

[@mrsplashboy1]

@@lloydyp Thanks Lloyd for that The one I looked at is the dark action f3 in yellow What age would it be roughly

[@lloydyp]

@@mrsplashboy1 it's a window of time between I think 2015 or 16 to 18 before they introduced the newer model.

[@mrsplashboy1]

@@lloydyp Thanks for that, your a wealth of knowledge when it comes to this and top class man to reply to comments etc

[@frostypoc5043]

So what's the best choice out of: CG Invictus, F3? What would you prefer, Lloyd?

[@lloydyp]

For me I'd most likely go F3, but that's purely because I prefer the design. There's nowt in it between the 2 guns.

[@frostypoc5043]

​@@lloydyp, thanks. That's one of the reasons I'm lookinf at F3 as well. Another it's modular construction. I think in the long run it's literally ethernal.

[@carlrees5574]

Ok so had my F3 custom for 5 days and shot it twice, High gun at my club shoot and PB and 3rd in class on registered shoot. Love the gun really lively and although a 32inch moves like a 30 which is nice. The quality puts Beretta so shame (had a DT11L which had a catastrophic choke and barrel failure) hope my love for it isn't short lived.....😬

[@lloydyp]

still in love with it?

[@carlrees5574]

@@lloydyp yes although had some bad results and started to look at perazzi, then went out last weekend and shot a PB 88/100 so I don’t know what to do.🥴 still a lovely gun though

[@lloydyp]

🤔 buy both

[@carlrees5574]

@@lloydyp I don’t have 11k lying around so the blaser would have to be traded in oh and the xs pro 😬 thinking like you and go the factory and get it properly fitted

[@lloydyp]

@@carlrees5574 that's the way to do it.

[@dontfret147]

How does the F3 compare to the F16 please?

[@lloydyp]

Too long to answer in a comment thread, watch my f16 and F3 reviews back to back, I cover the differences.

[@dontfret147]

Lloyd Pattison cheers Lloyd, ok simpler question... second hand F3pro or new F16

[@lloydyp]

@@dontfret147 F3, easy. They are built to a higher standard.

[@Wilson-Combat.45.]

LIoyd f3 pro stock flat ribbed dimension is same is the game model F3 ? Thenk you

[@lloydyp]

Honestly I don't know, if a game one comes in and I remember to measure it I'll respond.

[@thelongslowgoodbye]

Fun fact: the guy who designed the F3 is a Russian guy who used to work for the Kalashnikov factory

[@lloydyp]

interesting.

[@tu603]

It has the same lock and monoblock system as my baikal built by kalshnikov facatory

[@Samdillonxx]

Great review Lloyd, I'm waiting on a gun license for a used F3 pro, 32", adjustable stock. I have not had a shotgun since 2007, and when i went to have a look at a few guns, i thought id go for the dt10 as i used to own a 682 gold e sporter. Went to the clay ground with 3 guns, DT10, f16, and above mentioned F3. Missed 4 of 5 with f16, missed 2 of 5 with DT10 ( it seemed a bit too well used). At this stage i was getting a bit embarrassed, because I hadnt used a shotgun for years and i was beginning to think it was me. Then picked up the F3 and honestly, i have never picked up or swung anything as sweet. I shot 10 straight and didn't want to leave the gun down.

[@lloydyp]

You can't argue with that, If a gun like that puts a grin on your face you better get it bought.

[@Samdillonxx]

Cheers Lloyd. Keep up the great reviews.

[@lloydyp]

Thanks man.

[@clumhain]

cheers Lloyd. Why did you move on from an F3 if you don't mind me asking?

[@lloydyp]

Honest answer: I wanted a Krieghoff.

[@1valg]

@@lloydyp Can´t argue with that. A Krieghoff is in a league of its own.

[@clumhain]

@@lloydyp fair enough they are beautiful guns. Honestly though has it improved your score ? Given how big a part of the sport the mental game is i would guess yes.

[@lloydyp]

What made the difference was shooting more, more practice. The gun certainly helped me enjoy my shooting though.

[@jeffsanday4487]

F3 or DT11?

[@lloydyp]

Jeff Sanday heart says F3, head says DT11...

[@paulrogers4543]

Thanks for another detailed review Lloyd :) I do enjoy watching your videos and I have a request! I am new to shooting and don’t have the budget to consider most of the guns you review. Would it be possible for you to cast you eye over a Huglu 103de?? Would be great to get you opinion. Can’t seem to find many reviews on this end of the spectrum unless it’s an ATA.

[@lloydyp]

ASI import Huglu, I have asked them for test guns in the past but havent heard anything back from them. I can try but I won't be holding my breath.

[@irinelmenghita1710]

Bună seara cât costă o armă?

[@lloydyp]

I have no idea what the gun costs in your country.

[@keepmahaney7412]

The answer to your question is about twice as much as it should, just like all Blaser guns.

[@paullynch6718]

Very heavy clays only... Whoulnt want to be carrying that around a field nearly 9pound weight

[@timeverett7828]

Used one... not a fan!
