Not trying to slide the conversation but....what make is the rear bag in this pic?

How is pellet probe secured in 357? Hope they actually realise F =pxA and same thing dosent happen again.

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.

Comply with State Hunting Laws in the US.

More like up to coyote size

More large game has been taken with a 22lr than probably any other caliber out there. Probably 115-125fpe max with standard ammo. A head shot with 150fpe will drop just about anything.

I will wait .....there is no hybrid slugs available and we have no idea when it will be available.

Too bad. 

I am 70 yo , so i am not sure how long i can wait ?

You go moose or bear hunting with a .22cal rimfire?

I'm 72 and in the same boat. One thing if you can't hit them with the 800mm barrel you should be close enough to club them with it. LOL

Awesome!! Been waiting for a .35 cal Impact and knew it was only a matter of time! Will be following this very closely...

215 ft/lb is minimum for Texas Deer. I wonder if an extra 65 ft/lb can be coaxed out of this beast?

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).

I already have three WTD with. 357.... Two with two lungs and heart (only walked 30 yards (not run) and died without getting to know what had happened.

The third one was a shot in the brain with head down... Switched off without giving a step.

Totally believe in what you said. Big calibers most hunters used for WTD are overkill. 120 foot pound energy is more than enough but not at 100 yards and more. Up to 70 yards and you are in business in my own opinion.

When will the MKII Compact be available here in the states?

+1

I was surfing websites earlier today and I saw one of the dealers had the color option listed. Now I cant find it. I'll keep the secret though. Lol.

Not more than 40 yards away all of them.

Curious to hear a serious explanation of "Harmonic Friendly"? How deep is the magazine and where exactly can this rifle be used to legally hunt Deer?

From 40-50 yards you cannot miss the deer dead that is for sure.
