[@BionicRusty]

Great video, Mark. 👍 Merry Christmas to all air gun pellet heads 🎄

[@Andy-ow2cx]

Looking forward to your next outing with the m3, great vid as always.

[@justingreen9262]

Good video Mark.Nice shooting at that distance. The .25 through the chest is perfect. Merry Christmas 👍🏻👍🏻

[@simonthomas1953]

Love watching this guy .

[@kevinsmith7274]

Nice shooting Mark love watching your videos cheers mate

[@johnhorsfield4361]

Being left-handed too I was interested to see how you got on with the Impact, it didn't seem to be too awkward for you, I read that you can use an FX Crown magazine and mount it from the other side for left hand use.

[@260rips]

Oh really? Now that’s interesting, thanks for that, that would make shooting it more comfortable 👍

[@Coowallsky]

Thanks for the recap on the rifle’s specifics and kit used.

[@260rips]

No worries I hope you enjoyed the episode 😉👍

[@richardfletcher4704]

I have an FAC impact M3. Worth every penny.

[@mickibbett2120]

Thanks for your video very informative. Festive greetings.🐿

[@gallantone1535]

the thermal looks a good piece of kit, I will have to look at the price .I use sub 12 ft FX impact .177 out to 50 Mt ,and seeing how you can spot them should be a good piece of kit to have enjoyed your video'👍

MORE ON AIR RIFLES WHEN YOU CAN, PLEASE. FROM SURREY.

[@JM10344]

Helix is on the side of the truck and caught me off guard for a second. I'm a car guy, and you're in a different country. I feel dumb scratched my head, wondering what truck that is. Haha, it's the scope, and you just put letters on the side.

[@260rips]

😆 the truck is a Toyota hilux!

I can’t wait to upgrade from my Beeman .177

Nice gun

[@richarduk679]

Yes, but what will this very expensive rifle shoot once lead pellets/slugs are banned in the U.K.?

[@castrolgtx5064]

Second posting of this video😅 did Matt resign like Pete Carr 😢 you done your best guys but Fieldsports Britain is king ❤🎉

[@jamesdenny4734]

I've heard of you guys shooting FAC, but no one ever said what the highest ft/lb FAC can go ? So my question is: can a FAC air rifle go over a hundred foot pounds? A curious mind wants to know 😁 🤔

[@PaulHamM3]

Im not to sure about other airguns but the FX Impact will certainly go over 100ftlbs in .25 cal, .30cal and .35, i have mine running at 80ftlbs with 39g wildman slugs and 40g prohunters.

[@ragotphilippeh6496]

Hi , Hello my friend. I see that you are left-handed, like me. I'm hesitating to buy an Impact because I'm afraid that the magazine in the cheek is very unpleasant. What do you think? Is it really a problem ? Thank you for your help .

[@260rips]

I would try beforehand as yes I did find I had to adjust my head position to work around it!

[@stephenpearce8757]

Being a lefty myself just wondering how you find the cheek weld taking into account of the mag ??

[@260rips]

That was one thing I did find, I had to adjust my head position around the mag, a bit of a niggle when they have allowed for the bolt handle to be reversed!

[@henrymoreland8719]

Beat me too it Stephen. Honest answer Mark. Thanks both.

[@stephenpearce8757]

I’m thinking of buying one but I guess it’s going to be try before you buy 🤔🤔

[@260rips]

I think if I were going to buy an Fx I would probably opt for the Fx crown, that looks a nice rifle 👍

[@CRA677]

@@260rips I have been searching high and low for an honest answer from a fellow disabled shooter! Thank you! Reading through some of the other comments, it looks like the M3 will need to be a try it before you buy it PCP.

Have you tried the Leshiy Mark?

[@260rips]

No but they look cool!

It's s fx promo show..

No, Fx supplied the rifle and I gave a run down on it and what I thought of it, it saves answering a lot of questions later in the comments! 😉

These are the pulsar merger thermal binos 👍

[@jon1801]

Through interest I "Googled" the price of these. After spitting out my tea I smiled. Give me my rimfires any day over a pellet gun. A quarter of the price for a top notch 22 or 17. No need to buy a compressor. Cheap ammunition and reliable in all weathers, plus last a lifetime if cared for. Sometimes it beggars belief people have that amount of money to waste to shoot rodents.

[@260rips]

You’re right a rimfire is a lot cheaper option due to it having less working parts I suppose 🤷🏻‍♂️ I guess these guns are the top of the game for those who don’t have an fac or for whatever reason can’t get one, and I guess if you took into account the cost of a safe, doctors letter and licence cost as well as the hassle, you can buy a tack driving airgun all be it under 12ft lbs and probably when you stack up the costs and hassle it might make a logical choice for some 🤷🏻‍♂️👍

[@henrymoreland8719]

Try shooting pigeons off the rafter's in a barn , with a rimfire. With this , twist a dial to go from low to high power. That said, out of my price range 😔.

[@guysingleton9611]

@Jon but you wouldn't point a rimfire up in a tree to shoot squirrels would you? Air rifle best tool for the job. Nothing more satisfying than dropping a squirrel from a tree branch 30 plus yards away. I have an fx Cyclone that I bought new 12 years ago. Cost me about £800 it puts out 28 ft lb, is a tack driver and hasn't missed a beat. That isn't a bad return on investment. You don't need to spend a fortune though, you can get a decent air rifle for under £400. Airgunning is a great way to hone stalking skills too. @Rips always enjoy watching your videos.

[@jon1801]

@@260rips Agree, I do use sub 12 for rats on my farm. Its a reliable BSA that is about 15 years old and cost me £200 second hand. Cheap scope and it will bump stuff off at 40+ yards. Trouble is a lot of these videos are just marketing plugs. The rimfire also allows to switch from the usual rabbit to a fox if the need arises. And I still lamp, old fashioned but I cannot get my head round the need for a thermal scope costing several thousands to shoot vermin.

[@jon1801]

@@henrymoreland8719 I use a sub 12 for stuff like that. Anybody using a rimfire like that deserves a spell inside.

No need, with an fac .25, chest shot drives straight through them!

@@260rips true 👍🏻

[@beejay9439]

I'm not too sure about the safety aspects of this video. Just about every time you see the safety catch, it's set to fire.

[@260rips]

I never rely on safety catches and prefer to have the rifle empty until ready to fire, pointing in a safe direction and finger off the trigger 😉

[@legionaire6542]

can those squirrel be eaten??

[@260rips]

Yes they certainly can and will be 😉👍

Around 50 yards for some and all off a tripod they did the job and a .25 fac allows for chest shots no problem so.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@rapalaron6348]

The Impact will never be my choice because it can only be used with a bipod, shooting stick or by resting the rifle at something. A good hold only for your two hands for a precision shot is not possible. You have always that stupid air bottle or a Picatinny rail in your hand. I my opinion nothing is better than a good wooden stock with checkering for free hand shooting.

[@rapalaron6348]

@Broad Side I sold mine just because of that. In my case a FX royal or HW100 would be a better option but i prefer my HW97 springer. I,m happy to skip the tralala that comes with a PCP. Just my 97 and a tin with pellets makes life way more easy and a quality springer is way more reliable. I don't do 100+ yards shots and when i have to i take my rimfire.

[@rapalaron6348]

@Broad Side I have shot competitions my friend even a while FT. I still have my match rifles, a Diana75 and a FWB 300S and i still shoot them at home. Bankrest, standing and kneeling with a hamster mounted to optimize the hold. Maybe you don't know how a rifle should fit before you give some advise to someone else. Shooting a PCP from a tripod is no big deal but head shots free handed need some more experience.

[@rapalaron6348]

@Broad Side Just your stupid answers tells me enough about you. It is the same as; no problem to shoot my impact freehand at all, but to hit something is something totally different. I bet you can't even shoot a springer! You're just a PCP nerd that payed a lot for a Impact and don't want to hear any cons because it should be the best on the market.

[@rapalaron6348]

@Broad Side I told you that i shot competitions and FT because you told me that i had to practice more...You told me i was a bad shooter but you ain't know a shit about me pal. You should use your brain first before you write something here. You just make a fool out of your self and you don't even know it.🤣

[@rapalaron6348]

@Broad Side Countless thousands of rabbits, squirrels, pigeons, crows.....Did you kill any or just hurt them? Maybe you understand now your stupid replies.
