FX Impact M3 .30 caliber air rifle from Box to Bench in 20 Minutes-First shots at 57 and 103 yards

The FX Impact M3 was announced just a few months ago and had new features interesting enough to me that I wanted to get my hands on one. Which meant selling my trusted original Impact. Utah Airguns will buy outright or sell on consignment high end airguns in good shape, and so I enlisted their assistance with the sale, and when that was done, I placed my order.
In early June, while attending to the burial of my father at Arlington, my new rifle arrived at the front door of the #backyardrange and while I was driving home to meet it, I had an idea.
What if I showed the world the first shots? What if I just opened the box and shot it? ‪@CyclopsJoeVideos‬ please relax. This is not an unboxing video, and you will not develop any rashes or additional personal trauma from watching it. I promise!
Have you ever thought about a rifle and wondered how it will really shoot out of the box? Well, this is the video for you. What you will see is me opening the box, bolting on a few essentials, and shooting it. First a five shot group at 50 yards (I spared you shots 2-8, which was sight in) and then the next 12 shots (I lost count) at 103 yards.
You will see it through the scope, and then you'll see close ups of the measured groups.
You might watch the video and say that this rifle isn't as good as some other one. If that's what you are thinking, show me the groups.
You might watch the video and say I'm not a very good shot. Well, let's see the video where you take a rifle from a box and shoot it on camera at 100 yards.
I also threw in a couple of snapshots from groups I shot the following day. Even a TwistX barrel can benefit from some leading in.
This paragraph is for KZbin.
By the way, this Impact was purchased by me, and I bought it to enjoy shooting it. It's an airgun. It shoots pellets. It's not a firearm.

Very nice to see a video from box to bench, PJ 👍😃 Would have liked to see all the fine tuning going on off camera, but that is probably just me 🙃🙂 Big difference between the launch of the Daystate Delta Wolf and the FX Impact M3 is also that the Delta Wolf platform is brandnew and the Impact platform has been around for 5-6 years ! 👍😃 And for the record, people are still waiting on their M3's here in Denmark and they are produced in our neighbour country Sweden ! 🙃🙃

[@WiscAirGunners]

I can’t show your video, so I’ll just tell you the story. When I took that first shot I couldn’t figure out where it went. I took a second shot and that wasn’t any better. I don’t think you saw that shot on video. I stopped recording and I took a third shot with the corner room at the top of the page and I didn’t see that one either. But I took a shot aiming at the bottom of the paper and I saw that at the ground at the base of the target. So I took another shot even higher on the backstop. That one I saw hit low. It was pretty much perfect left to right so I just worked it up to my point of him at 50 yards. It wasn’t until after I had edited the video that it dawned on me about the 20 MOA rail! I did not touch the Diles or regulator prior to shooting. I have since dropped the velocity just a bit. I am sure that the release of the Delta Wolf has not gone as Daystate imagined it. One of our team’s shooters is a devout Daystate fan and I defer to him on these matters, because his Air Wolf is his first love. He has been beside himself over the time it’s taken to get rifles out and is frustrated by the lack of videos displaying how well it shoots at longer ranges. Truth be told, it’s one of the things that prompted me to do this video. Your comment about not being able to get M3’s in Denmark reminds me of how I feel when I walk outside and smell my neighbor cooking bratwurst on the grill and yet I got no invite to the barbecue! Take care!

[@SorenDrost]

@ Thanks a lot for getting back to me on this - Yes the 20 MOA rail definately works then 👍😁 Yes the delay and wait for a new rifle is always a tough one ! 🙃🙃🙂🙂 Good one about the barbecue !!! Take care, PJ 🙂

[@joshmckinney164]

I enjoyed the video and details that you presented. Thank you for you father's service! I am a USAF veteran and I know the importance of service. I have been debating on a getting a PCP rifle, not sure if I want a .25 cal or .30. But I know I want the suppressor /moderator. Also insure about refilling options. Any advice??

[@WiscAirGunners]

My advice is to sort out how you’re going to supply air first. It’s not the most exciting part of air gun ownership, but determining how you’re going to fill will push off frustrations in the long run. If you have access to somebody, like a buddy who works as a volunteer fire fighter, they might be able to use their breathing air compressor to get you air. Or you might have a scuba shop nearby that can fill a tank for you. If you have a source that can fill a tank, then getting a tank is a fairly straightforward way to go. Both Pyramyd Air and Airguns Of Arizona have air gun calculators on their websites that can tell me how many fills a particular tank will give you. If that isn’t an option then you’re either hand pumping or buying a compressor. I don’t know how much you’ve looked into it, but I understand that your basic shop compressor probably tops out at 200 psi and we’re talking about going up to 200 and possibly over 300 bar. One of the best things to come about in the last year or two is a rise of personal compressors intended for filling directly to your PCP rifle. Prices are still a little high, but some units are getting close to the $500 mark. Unless you’re comfortable rebuilding things, I don’t recommend cheaper options. If you decide that hand pumping is what you’re going to have to do, then there are rifles I would not pick. I would not pick something that has a carbon fiber bottle, and I would stay with .177 or .22 caliber. The .25 and .30 rifles are just going to drive you nuts trying to keep air in them if your hand pumping. At the lower price points things like the Origin or Avenger are good choices and are fairly hand pump friendly. They do it by having relatively small air cylinders. The Qrigin has some other secret sauce under the hood. If your budgets a little bigger look for something with an air tube versus a bottle. You mentioned wanting to be able to put a moderator on. Some rifles are definitely easier to adapt, and some need no adapter at all. I know there’s a lot of information here, but it’s really just an overview. Maybe I need to do a full video on air sources.

[@404nitro]

Great video. My condolences on the loss of your dad. I miss mine every day. That gun will absolutely thrive on the Hybrid slugs with minimal tuning with the new faster twist barrels they ship with now ( I know you prefer to shoot pellets, but just saying......). I have a MK II with the power plenum that I got just before they released the MK III ( ain't it always the way?) I have no complaints though. It is within a few fps of the MK III with an even bigger plenum and the dual regs with equal reg pressures. It loves the Hybrids at any range, but ( I know FX and many YT guys will disagree, especially if FX is sponsoring them LOL) they do not expand worth a crap on actual game IME (as opposed all the claims in videos of them being fired into clay, water or gel) I have recovered several of them from large raccoons in both 25 and 30 cal shot at close range (7 yards and under, so near muzzle speed of 930 in both cals) and all that happens is the nose bends over sideways and penetration is limited. That said, they are extremely accurate and at 30 cal, kill well anyway regardless of the poor expansion. I have yet to see pellets (including the Hades which my guns like) or slugs that expand as reliably and widely as H&N Baracuda Hunters (non extreme) on critters as small as starlings or sparrows. I wish they made them in 30 cal. They expand great yet penetrate more than deeply enough to kill from all angles IME PS: Please do a video on lightening the trigger if you can. I have played with my Dreamline a lot, but haven't messed with the Impact yet. I have watched ER's videos on doing it, but from what he said in his trigger tuning video on the Impact, it seems that the weight isn't really adjustable, only the length of travel of both stages? My trigger is nice/crisp, but too heavy for my preferences.

[@alingram5541]

I got rid of my impact mk2, heavy, awkward, no more accurate than my other pcps and the worst trigger out of my 14 pcps.

[@WiscAirGunners]

@@brocwavra8813 the trick with the harmonic tuner is to start with a really stable tune, from a standard deviation standpoint, in a good velocity range for the slug or pellet you're trying to shoot. I like to shoot groups at between 45 and 65 yards to limit the influence of environmental conditions. I look for "good" groups first as I rotate the tuner, but I also pay attention to vertical dispersion. When I find a couple of settings that show promise I go back and make sure that setting gives repeatable positive results. Then I shoot farther out to confirm things. Before I "finalize" on a setting I've probably shot 50 or 60 groups testing, confirming and re-confirming my results.

[@catherineharris4746]

Nice👍👍 Have you ever cranked this M3 up to the max fps? If so, how fast can you get it to go? I really want/need to know what the max power this gun can produce please.Thanks👍 And before some knucklehead jumps in and says "Oh you only need/want to shoot it at this speed or that speed",DON'T because that's not what I'm asking for😔

[@WiscAirGunners]

I've had slugs up to 980 in .30 cal, then brought it back down. It is capable of higher.

[@catherineharris4746]

What was the music? Sounds like some good shooting music

[@WiscAirGunners]

The Beacon by Zachariah Hickman. I found it on KZbin. It's in the category of "free to use" and I like it too!

[@theprofitmohamhead1268]

Did yours come with the harmonic tuner? If so, has adjusting it tightened your groups?

[@WiscAirGunners]

No, but I believe in the concept and will be getting one as soon as I’m able to.

[@Oregon-airguns]

Soo, now that it’s been a few months… are you still happy that you went with the .30 or do you kinda wish you would have went with the .22 or .25?

[@WiscAirGunners]

Nope. Took 7th in Pro class at RMAC with this rifle. She's doing exactly what I want and need!

[@MasonStormSunny]

What was your v0, barrel length and pellet?

[@WiscAirGunners]

It's a 700mm barrel, and I'm shooting the 44 grain JSB at 892 FPS.

[@bald_chicken]

How long did you wait between placing an order and UA fulfilling the order?

[@bald_chicken]

Ah got my answer at the end of the video. Thank you.

[@WiscAirGunners]

@@bald_chicken Excellent. They are pretty quick to get stuff out the door, but things take a long time to cross the globe.

[@adrian-soto]

Great video! Now that you have it, what are your thoughts compared to the maverick?

[@WiscAirGunners]

It (the M3) has what feels like a smoother shooting cycle, due to the split action...the hammer and valve aren't banging into one another under your cheek. The Maverick's rear wheel hammer adjuster is more intuitive than the Impact's old two-way wheel, but the M3 wheel and micro adjuster are pretty slick. At least you have a chance to make an adjustment and get back to where you started. The M3's cocking handle is slightly better placed, but I have a lengthened handle on my Maverick to compensate for that. Get them both!

[@adrian-soto]

@@WiscAirGunners haha, getting both seems to be the answer to all airgun questions. Thanks so much. Great video.

[@WiscAirGunners]

@@adrian-soto I think you hit that particular nail on the head.

44 grain JSB Pellets at just over 890. About 77 FPE.

[@agoogleaccount2861]

Why are you shooting such light projectiles? Id think you'd want to be at least 50 grains

[@WiscAirGunners]

@@agoogleaccount2861 I have better success with the 44's.

[@silvsiri3478]

Hi, I just got my M3 , how low can the bottle pressure get before I have to fill it

[@Tunnelrat6666]

No lower than your first reg setting.

[@WiscAirGunners]

@@Tunnelrat6666 I agree. Dropping below reg pressure will cause that one to have to re-settle at best.

[@WiscAirGunners]

Good question. As our friend Tunnelrat6666 mentions, keep above reg pressure...The highest reg.

[@limonjoardar909]

how price the air riffel?

[@WiscAirGunners]

I suppose you should contact a dealer in your country.

[@beercanshooter7680]

what was the wait time?

[@WiscAirGunners]

A couple months. I pre-ordered just after they were announced. It worked out for me because I had another rifle to sell to finance this project.

[@undreahatchett9161]

this Hatchett i am a airgunner how far are u from cedar rapids iowa

I think it's about 300 miles.

[@stedyone1090]

Ha. It was in the dealers hands before it was announced.

[@WiscAirGunners]

At least in the US. I suppose I should’ve qualified that.

[@stedyone1090]

@@WiscAirGunners I had asked a dealer about the M3 and was told it was fake news and he sold me a Maverick. I would of rather waited for the M3. UGH

[@garydailey809]

Excuse me but that doesn't look like "out of the box" performance. Remember the card that was in the box from Utah Airguns that stated the average velocity ? They verified function of the rifle and pre-tuned it for that pellet. I think they do that for all the guns they sell. I consider "out of the box" to mean as received from the factory. If you purchase it from somewhere else you might not get the same level of service.

[@WiscAirGunners]

I appreciate the comment. In this case I didn't specify any target tune, as I intended to do that myself. I agree that the retailer matters in a calculation of the overall user experience.

[@pedrotorres4180]

You'd have to contact a retailer in your area.
