The new 2025 Blaser FBX

[@Grant_901]

Thanks!

[@timc7537]

I would like to see Rich Cole do a comparison between FBX, the F3, and the F16. Nice to hear a master gunsmith review of the different models.

[@clumhain]

exactly what i thought , look forward to a side by side review with the SL2 in the future, cheers Lloyd!

[@Grant_901]

Nice review. It is interesting to see all the physics being leveraged to make a better gun. Thanks for sharing

[@robbreeze7599]

Great video about a lovely gun. Thanks Lloyd.

[@David-wc7lx]

Sounds awesome! I'm looking forward to their arrival in the States.

[@MichaelAnsell1842]

Love the look. brilliant honest review as always,

[@grahamsimpkins1540]

That wood is just stunning ! The DSC coating sounds interesting as well Will be having a look at that at the BSS soon Great review Lloyd as always sir 👍

[@lloydyp]

Thanks 👍

[@kernowlad2025]

Looks a great Gun i like the idea of the weights in the forend and also the look of the wood is top quality, great reveiw lloyd

[@solidrib]

Weight in the forend is a good idea only at first glance. The foreend is basically a inertia contra weight.. the heavier it is the sooner foeend becomes loos. Now, that can be taken into the account by designers.. but I havent seen any sophisticated forend loop solution..so..

[@MartShoots]

Awesome review Lloyd, that is something I would love to own...

[@piaggio780]

Mmmmn……..I see your back in your SHED doing reviews? I like Blaser’s as I at one time owned a F3 SuperSport years ago! I have aspirations of attending the BSS…..and being a resident of the USA does make it a little more of a challenge. I’d love to attend the show……and to meet and chat with you personally! The furniture on this shotgun is gorgeous! Michael P.

[@jonw759]

Great review brilliant explanation of the low CG concept. Looks like a real nice gun. Never been much of a Blaser fan may need to reevaluate.

[@ronaldjohnson1474]

At 12 grand, I don't need to reevaluate.

[@jonw759]

@ Luckily I traded my second wife in for a DT11 now my monies my own so nobody is going to moan if I sell a kidney to buy one😂

[@neilstokoe1]

Nice review Lloyd. I really like that they’ve come out swinging against the oppositions high priced offerings. Some nice advances though at a cost. Woodwork is fantastic but there’s something about the action that just doesn’t look quite right to me. I’d take the SL2 in a heart beat in comparison if that’s the real competition but the price difference suggests otherwise.

[@cj-rb8fz]

Hopefully going to the show in a couple of weeks time

[@lloydyp]

Good lad, I’ll see you there.

[@adamcullen7177]

Great review of an amazing new gun, Thankyou.

[@davidward2231]

Interesting that you think it’s an SL2 competitor. I assumed because of the price it was more of a DT11 rival. Don’t doubt you for a second. It definitely becomes a more compelling prospect if it’s that good. Look forward to seeing it next month.

[@EmsillCazm]

Hi Lloyd, I take it it’s correct competitor is the Beretta SL2. It will be interesting to see your thoughts on a back to back comparison video.

[@neilkeenan2827]

Need to see one now. Nice review 👍🏻

[@G78.]

Thanks for a great review thanks from Ireland

[@AdamPerkinsPhD]

Great review - thanks!

[@larryspring7333]

Love my F3!! I'm going to own me a FBX!!!

[@ronaldjohnson1474]

Thanks for the review Lloyd. IF their pricing wasn't exorbitantly high, they might sell better. Compares to paying $30/hour to flip burgers.

[@markwarwick4376]

gorgeous looking gun. love the videos Lloyd. what camera do you use? the quality is great.

[@JohnMathews-n1b]

Great review Lloyd. Whats your take on FBXvs694? I am split between these two.

[@lloydyp]

You are split between 2 completely different guns with an 8 grand price difference?

[@Rumplef0reskin]

Great review👌

[@tonyw7033]

Have a F3 with all 4 gauges, wanted to get an enraged receiver but maybe I sell all of it and start over.

[@chimbachristoforou1862]

Interesting ....The SL2 can be had new for £18k but still 50% more than the FBX Look forward to the shootout

[@andrewhilditch4036]

Beretta will sponsor loads of shooters with SL2’s, they will win shoots so more people will buy them, even with the £20k price tag. Which would I have, easy the blaser but I’m biased having owned an F3 Vantage for nearly ten years.

[@CanadianWaterfowler]

There are places where Beretta service is just horrible. People prefer an other severely overpriced gun, just because they get good customer service from that company.

[@alanjacobs7302]

Nice looking gun. How does the balance feel compared to another " centralised mass" gun like Zoli Evo?

[@lloydyp]

@@alanjacobs7302 it’s completely neutral with a lot of weight between the hands. Feels quite similar.

[@alanjacobs7302]

@lloydyp thanks. We are spoilt for choice it seems.

[@bgjb-r1499]

Lloyd early Blaser’s we’re notorious for kicking like mules. Have they improved the recoil? Also at the tip of the forend (bottom) I notice that there’s metal. Why is that there?

[@lloydyp]

No recoil as I say at length in the video. I also mentioned the new forend latch.

[@pat199rick6]

Forgot to say, you don't need a screw driver with the trigger assembly on the ATA.

[@lloydyp]

I bet the Blaser one doesn’t fall out when you are using it either.

[@faycalamezianeelhassani4471]

Nice gun indeed, nice review, by the way, if you have to choose between the legendary Blaser F16, and the Blaser FBX, which one would you go for?

[@lloydyp]

Legendary? The f16 is their budget offering.

[@ΓΙΩΡΓΟΣΡΑΓΖΗΣ]

The barrel's are Chrome based inside or they made it with the blaser dlc according to the new regulations for zero Chrome in Europe?thanks a lot !!!!

[@berteisenbraun7415]

may be a good reason to stay away from it at first.

[@navinseneviratne139]

So this gun squared off against the Beretta DT11 ? It looks amazing I have an F16 currently I expect price point to be around 10k? I’ll have to look down back of sofa lol😂

[@larryspring7333]

I'm thinking Loyd is referring the Krieghoff Parcour X.... (IMHO)

[@lloydyp]

Neither, it’s against the SL2

[@MJSIGNvinyls]

Buyer beware, Unfortunately I bought into the Blaser brand, my second hand 2007 F3 had a full service by Mulliners last year and is absolutely great, bought a used F16 32” 2017 for clays and although the quality is not as good, is also great. Bit the bullet last June and bought a brand new F3 grade 6 which went back on warranty with a clicky fore end, repaired in quick time by blaser UK but doesn’t feel as solid as the 2007 model. Purchased a blaser skeet jacket £184 direct from Germany as nothing new in the UK, quality was rubbish, 6 months later stitching had cut through the leather (ett), blaser advised after sending them the photos I could buy another one and post the faulty one back for them to have a look at. The F3 shirts I ordered lasted 3 or 4 washes and the logos washed off. Designed in Germany - made in china on the label, hope the new shotguns aren’t the same. They have no boots available or walking shoes, apparently stopped producing them and trade on their high price quality but all the new stuff seems crap and Chinese. Very poor service from Germany. Great vid Lloyd as usual, sorry to be mr negative but I think people should be aware buying quality that isn’t quality. Looked at the new SL2, messaged you on your previous post, thanks for reply, £18-£20k is out of my price range, unfortunately thought I’d bought the new F3 for a good number of years but not impressed with the brand. Might wait till the SL2 becomes reasonably priced second hand and swap out the F3. Thanks again for your reviews, excellent.

[@lerosh2226]

Just stunning ,,,love it ,,,want a few of those ,,,,lottery win included ,,,,,

[@NotStockPhoto]

As a professional automotive photographer and a really 💩 💩 💩 sporting clays aficionado………. I approve of this video 😂😂😂😂

[@lloydyp]

Thank you.

[@NotStockPhoto]

@ no thank you you did all the hard work 😂

[@Conek2u]

I 'see' on your video the inletting of the top strap looks to be below the wood, is this correct, is this something to detract for the gun?

[@lloydyp]

It's not unusual and it depends on how the gunmaker chooses to make their stocks. Aesthetically you could argue it would look nicer flush but as I said in the video, this gun is a tool.

[@jammyjim69]

Johnny gets to go to Germany to see the new gun at the factory Lloyd gets to visit the shed at the bottom of the garden . 🤣

[@deirdrepattison7096]

Have a watch of Lloyd’s visit to Germany for Kreighoff. Can’t win em all I guess 🤣

[@lloydyp]

Also, Jonny gets paid to make content by manufacturers, I pay for my own channel with some input from ad revenue and memberships. My shed is as close to a studio as I can afford.

[@jammyjim69]

@lloydyp nothing wrong with your videos from the shed . Love the new format Looking forward to seeing the gun at the shooting show

[@dgoodman1484]

Lloyd you put out a fantastic product as well! Plus you have the advantage of an epic beard and you don’t walk like a giraffe so it all works out! 😁👍🏼👍🏼

[@rpc4266]

Nothing wrong with the shed. The gun looks very interesting

[@g.Gilo1]

Maybe I missed it, is fbx ment to to have detachable trigger

[@lloydyp]

You did miss it.

[@bavariasuhl]

you referring to the SL2 right ...

[@lloydyp]

Aye.

[@mikeanderson5100]

Compared to the SL2? If they are like quality it will do well. Blaser seems to have abandoned the US competition market.

[@andrewhilditch4036]

Already seen a video for the gun by Blaser USA filmed at the NSC.

[@AnthonyNewman-pq3el]

looks tasty

[@CanadianWaterfowler]

What's the "direct competitor" that you mention? K-80? SL2? DT-11 ?

[@lloydyp]

SL2

[@golfcurve7]

I love my F3 but being a game shot I'm looking for a weight of just over 7lbs not 9!!

[@deirdrepattison7096]

The shed: there was a rather large storm. Bywell shooting ground had no power and Lloyd had limited time with the gun. 🙄

[@consumertester5665]

It costs HOW much??!!!

[@lloydyp]

12 grand. Have you been wearing ear defenders while watching?

[@PedroSanchezAlvarado]

Muy fácinantes armas de una elegancia muy fácinantes videos 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨👍

[@2301Moose]

👍

[@PaulA-UK]

Nice review mate, I enjoy your down to earth approach. The other guy clearly spends a bit more on production but he is a bit Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, if you know what I mean.

[@carniv0rous]

whats the damage? it looks like its throwing its gauntlet in the dt11 ring. just ordered my 2nd dt11 in black dlc.

[@lloydyp]

Price is in the video. Watch the video man.

[@carniv0rous]

@lloydyp watched the whole thing looking for a price...I just heard that it's lower than the competitor

[@lloydyp]

@carniv0rous you definitely did not, since I say the price at 6 minutes.

[@neilkeenan2827]

12000 English pound or 5.2 silver pigeons

[@carniv0rous]

@@lloydyp I'm an idiot...I thought it was the weight.

[@paulwilson7234]

👌

[@pat199rick6]

Removable trigger assembly, just like the ATA Pro 12. £ 11,000.00 Cheaper though. Alright, that's all I can afford. Metal work was a bit rough near the trigger assembly screw. Just saying! Am I now on death row?

[@lloydyp]

It’s a prototype. No death sentence required.

[@renelumby4743]

Can you get it, in a genuine left.

[@lloydyp]

Not sure at the moment however Blaser offer genuine lefty f3s so this should follow.

[@shadowk7214]

But you don’t like the F16!!!

[@Fendermanpaul]

12 grand.......😂😂😂😂

[@andrewhilditch4036]

What price for a new Perazzi or DT10 DLC? This Blaser is also £8k less than a SL2.

[@Fendermanpaul]

@andrewhilditch4036 wouldn't buy those either. They're nice guns yes. But they're limited to those who are a) sponsored b) all the gear, no idea.

[@andrewhilditch4036]

@@Fendermanpaul what are you saying? The last competition I shot, none of the shooters in my squad were sponsored, all of them were capable of winning the comp, apart from me. The value of the guns must of exceeded £60k. Top quality competition guns cost a lot of cash now.

[@wackeyracer2001]

​@@FendermanpaulC) I'm jealous of people who can afford nice guns

[@Fendermanpaul]

@wackeyracer2001 I have a very nice gun thanks 😊.

[@silvershroud9291]

12 grand for a plain action and no adjustable stock, seems a tad overpriced. Why are manufacturers not fitting adjustable stocks as standard, seems daft a bit like paying for AC on a car in 2025. Competition gun without the bells and whistles, lovely wood.

Far to exspencive
