(Im from the US ) I love the the whole idea and always wanted a pcp air rifle and i want my first one to be top notch in accuracy and power and have it be an all around pest gun for anything from mice to raccoons i wont be buying another pcp for a while Ive been looking at the m3 standard in .22cal but have been hesitant on buying one because of the problems i hear money isnt the problem i just dont want to fork out 1500 for a gun thats a lemon. Im starting at ground 0 So I will have to buy compressor tank ammo gun sight and bipod/accessories all at once So pretty much three thousand dollars Plus I just don't want to buy a gun that's gonna be a problem as soon as I get Because it's gonna turn me away from the hobby If I spend all that money and the gun doesn't work properly So any tips ideas or recommendations would be very much appreciated as I am not experienced one bit in this hobby of pcp air rifles

Hi, All manufacturers have problems with their guns at some time or another especially when you take into consideration the number of guns they manufacture. I would buy new then you have a warranty should anything go wrong. Once my gun had the problem sorted i had no issues with it at all. Good luck 👍

have had nothing but issues with my mk2, leaks in new places every other week, they had dry assembled my rifle, so orings where failing constantly. every time i call FX-USA it sounds like they have a party going on, if i get through at all. they have promised to send orings on several occasions, nothing have ever showed up....i got their chrony, and FX said on youtube just to call them and they would send the 3d printed dodad so it easy to attach to barrel ...i called they took my name and nothing. my rifle came with a horrible trigger, heavy like a hatsan/crosman. now rifle has spent most of its life in the safe as i didnt like it. but the last month i have tuned and started to like it, and then reg fails, during the depressurization i it developed a leak as well, around the the orings going from plenum into pistol grip.....that clamp is so tight on my gun its nearly impossible to remove and remount the plenum.....in the same timeframe i got a vulcan as well, it has been flawless right out of the box, never had to do anything to it, i have had 4 fx rifles, only my wildcat mk2 has been good, 1 impact .177 went back to dealer for a refund (leak, crossthreaded shroud and so much more), dream line .177 couldnt group went back for a refund....i hung on to the impact in hopes that this supposedly top shelf gun just needed a new oring and all would be fine...i was stupid...never FX again

As a machinist and mechanic , the only reason I bought the FX Impact was the introduction of slugs to the market . I felt this particular PCP had the capability of shooting slugs accurately at high velocities. I purchased the MKII generation 3 , the last generation before the introduction of the M3 . I am in the US and these PCP Impacts are pushed to the limits due to less restrictions . This will effect longevity before requiring service with o-rings and loosening of parts due to vibration . If you are interested in an Impact , #1 make sure of the air gun shop and it’s reputation to service . Preferably if you have mechanical knowledge and have the proper tools to torque everything properly in assembling , you should be ok . There is more than enough information on the internet to explain every aspect of the Impact to perform your own repairs . If you are relegated to having someone work on your Impact be patient , you will have to wait in line because you are not alone . The only think you can hope for is the technician that works on your PCP is more knowledgeable than you and cares about the quality work that they do .

I'd distance myself from the gun shop you bought it from. With such an expensive purchase, saying that they are stuck with it, I think, is far below standard. Because you as a CUSTOMER must stay with it? I can't imagine that the store is in their right, because it is not a customized product, so something that is custom made, such as a door or window. But they claim they didn't have it in stock? Really classy store. I suspect you've bought weapons there before? If that were the case, it would be the last time buying something there, and I would make a video telling only the truth about the shop. As you notice, I hate bad customer services. EDIT: I was a little early, I hadn't watched all the way to the end, and had already written my commentary. But you also say yourself that you probably won't buy anything anymore. You do that right, because it's definitely not a good store, service I mean.

These types of weapons, which are really expensive, should leave the factory with quality control, and be exported according to what the client wants. Example request the weapon with a configuration in .22 for slug 25.39 knockout and redesigned jsb 25.39 with the adjustments and tests already from the factory with the number of shots made for such adjustment. with the configuration in detail. and changing the configuration with "x" settings for 18.13 all that information should come in the box for the client that requested it with that configuration. even with target and distances of the tests carried out included. in this way they avoid bursting O-rings. We're not talking about a Us 500 gun. We're talking about Us 2,000. (I understand that it is a business but they are losing credibility, trust and customers.

I understand what you are saying but the practicality of that is near impossible because Fx for example will not know who is buying the gun nor what pellet or slug they intend to use. If you have a chronograph and write thing's down it is easy to set the impact mk2 up and the m3 is even easier.

Thank you for an ordinary user feedback on your purchase. I like the improvements, and the trigger straight out of the box is excellent. Regarding the straight pull lever, this is quite small and for hunting that isn’t I believe a problem. But an hour’s shooting on the range or in your garden and a sure trigger finger is a certainty. Have fed that back to Company Zbroia who do appear to listen to customer feedback. Their factory and shop are amazing. Products include Biathlon stocked air rifles, tanks and - groan - foot pumps. The shop stocks a range too of revolvers. But the range of products here is limited to the Hortitsia models, the Kozak (or Cossack) bullpup and Sapsan. I like a bolt action which is no surprise as I preferred the SMLE No.4 to its replacement, the L1A1 SLR. Like the Lee Enfield the Hortitsia can put out a high rate of fire (ROF) but without the noise or need for a very substantial backstop.
