Announcing the new FX Impact .35 Caliber

[FX-USA]

The FX Impact has defined and forever changed what an airgun can achieve. FX Airguns continues to innovate and perfect their flagship and iconic airgun and are pleased to announce that the FX Impact MKII .35 Caliber is now in production.

Much time and care has been taken to add this exciting new caliber. Precision and accuracy are a must for every airgun that FX Airguns creates, and it has been imperative that the .35 caliber meets this high standard.

The .35 caliber Impact takes full advantage of the new FX Power Plenum allowing it to propel an 81gr JSB pellet up to 915 FPS. That’s 150 ft lbs of muzzle velocity! The .35 caliber barrel is a full Smooth Twist Barrel with interchangeable liners to cater to different projectiles. The STX barrel is an 800mm barrel and has a 580cc Carbon Fiber Bottle.

Factory tuning will have the 81gr JSB pellets shooting at a harmonic friendly 860 FPS with the AMP regulator set to 125 BAR. This not only allows for maximum accuracy but will provide 40 shots per fill! This provides for more than two magazines worth of shots as the .35 Cal Impact utilizes the new .35 cal Side Shot magazine that holds 18 rounds.

The .35 FX Impact is in production in Sweden in March and will start arriving to dealers in April. It will be available in two colors; anodized black and a “new-soon-to-be-announced” new color to the FX Impact.

The FX Impact will once again set a new standard for what this powerful hunting caliber can do. With an immense amount of shots per fill, power that is perfectly suited for deer and other similar sized game, and accuracy unheard of for this caliber of airgun.

FX Airguns continue to expand and set the high standard of what an airgun should be. The FX Impact outperforms and outshines all others, cementing it as the world’s best airgun.

1- Mums the word on the color for another couple of weeks!

2- Hybird .35 machine is being built. Hoping for May-April timeframe. Awesome thing about the .35 Hybrid is the low low weight. You'll have an extremely light hollow slug at just 68 grains. Talk about a flat trajectory, Wow!

3- Ernest and myself (Jonathan) have run the testing. Part of the reason the grain weight and speed were listed. All using stock Impacts (so no porting, pin probes, etc) So those results are absolutely achievable for shooters

And thanks for the compliment. FX is very committed to pushing things forward and providing a quality product for our end users. We take the responsibility very seriously.

K-I-L-L-E-R ! ! ! !

PS: I'll be holding out for the FX Impact Mk II .50 Cal.
On second though.. Maybe not. I get into enough trouble with .22s and .25s.

 

[mtnGhost]

40 shots man, that's going to be a LOT of fun (and a lot of lead!)

 

[Nathan]

When will the MKII Compact be available here in the states? I want one in navy blue.

 

[edosan]

That took a while! Nice and congratulations! 

 

[2manyAirGunz]

Which bottle is standard with the new Impact? In one place the OP says 580cc(s), while the box below says 480cc(s).

I want one!

After all,  only own 3, currently.

 

[DShepard]

Looks like a beast! When will the Impact come with a case long enough to store the gun with a Donnyfl and a Saber buttstock attached? The case it comes with is very nice, but I'm going to have to move my Impact to a much larger case. I don't want to have to assemble the gun every time I want to to shoot it.

Congratulations !! A real big game hunting option. 

The characteristics mentioned above make of the Impact MKII in 357.Cal the very best hunting option in the market.

Notwithstanding, the.. 357 Cal is very restrictive, so it should be able to switch Calibers in order to use the rifle all year long and not just few days and for few shots.

Having the alternative of switching Cal from 4.5 to 22, to 25, to 30 to 357 would make the Impact the real only one rifle needed for any and all purpose.

Great decision from FX!!!

This will make the Impact to be the must profitable airgun buying option. 

 

[Hoople]

Awesome. Have been waiting on this one. Two questions.

1. MSRP ?

2. Will pellet and slug liners be available?

 

[Glem.Chally]

Pretty awesome!

 

[leadfoot]

First, congratulations FX. 

I don't want to get voted off the island, but does anyone think that 150 foot pounds of muzzle energy is a good choice for deer sized animals? Would you really expect a deer shot in the shoulder, hind quarters, a non vital neck shot, guts, a glancing skull shot, or a quartering shot to the vitals to actually kill it? By killing it, I mean where you could retrieve it, not by eventual infection. Sorry to piss anyone off, but I take the privilege of hunting seriously. 

(Colorado fish and wildlife DNR recommends a minimum of 1000 foot pounds for white tail deer).

 

[steve123]

Man that thing would have some thwack to it!

What's the BC on those 81 grainers?

 

[GQ]

Bravo this is a great news.

Hopefully i will be able to get a .357 cal kit before summer.

800 mm is very long. Will need a new caring case.

 

[jfvhpilot]

I agree with you completely. I think it would be good for headshot coyotes and close-in hogs. It is our responsibility to take ethical shots, with enough ft/lbs of energy to cleanly take an animal when the shot goes astray and we miss our intended point of aim.

 

[FX-USA]

Awesome. Have been waiting on this one. Two questions.

1. MSRP ?

2. Will pellet and slug liners be available?

MSRP will be $2099.99 in the US

Will ship with a pellet liner. We are developing slug liners for it yes (As well as working on the .35 cal FX Hybrid Slug)

 

[Corvid_hunter]

Very nice, but no where near enough power to ethically hunt deer with.

[Glem.Chally]

Very nice, but no where near enough power to ethically hunt deer with.

Agreed, not really sure what a 115-135fpe .30 can't do that 150fpe .357 can.

Is there a new bigger valve/seat for this or same as the power plenum comes with?
