Been trying to read this... from every possible angle...
". . .tuning for 1 job and if you change 1 thing you have to tune again...." I wouldnt call the FX M3 impact perfection...
. . . hours & hours tuning it for 1 job and if anything changes you have to re tune it again. Thats not perfection far from it
That's your complaint, Lancer? ... Really ?
You really-really consider that even an argument?
You really-really consider that a shortcoming on the part of the gun ?
Shortcoming of a physical thing like a gun ?
In that case :
Contradictio in terminis is what you re aiming for.
You re proposing something not of this world.
The fallacy of proposing such a thing like
'a single gun with a single setting for all ammunition'... is like screaming you 'd only be content if you could buy a circle with corners that would fit every hole you encounter, big or small.
When talking guns, grains, bullet shapes, calibers and tuning, there's physics implied. There 's no outrunning that. Nobody on this earth can.
Appears you 'd only be content if and when you could just ignore this earth's physics.
If you want to escape earth's physics, you will have to leave this planet and go looking for another kind of reality far away amongst the stars, hoping that different laws or physics might apply there.
However,
The thing i find most surprising and even very much disturbing at one level, is that it appears there 's 7 other people applauding you from the sideline, in doing so declaring themselves equally ignorant when it comes to circles with corners, fitting any holes at any giving moment in time.
Sign of the time i guess.
But just plain sad.

Next is the opposite : reason and common sense.
Airguns 101.
.177 requires different settings than a .25.....
30 pellet requires different settings than a .30 slug, etc.
1 platform + many options = perfection.
But then again :
FX Air Rifles should work very well out of the box, (But not so, average at best)
I have no explanation why you would claim that 'FX rifles don t work well out of the box', as a rule.
My experience with 6 very different FX airguns along the years has been quite the opposite.
Took my (at the time newly bought) MK1 Crown out of the box/its case : perfect balance in factory settings/tuning. Set for lighter .22 ammo at vairous distances.
My Streamline out of the box : perfect for 25 grain at 50-60 meters. Later on somewhat 'rescheduled' it, now it's doing bullseye with 34 gr at 85-90 m.
Bought a MKII Impact. Sheer heaven in its factory tune. Later on 'worked it up' to where i wanted it for 'heavy duty'. Equally fantastic.
My .22 MKII Crown came with a 'special' factory setting at 95 bar reg. Was very surprised to see that 95 bar reg gauge when the store keeper handed it over to me. Came home and immediately shot it. From the first mag on shooting 18 grains at a max of 292-293 m/s. Could almost not believe it. Turned it somewhat down tot 285-286 m/s and the 18 grains immediately went moa.
Then there's my M3. While mine and all of my shooting friends' M3 Impacts are performing flawless at the 100 m range, i have to admit there 's one guy over there having had some serious trouble with his M3 from the start.
He's been the exception to the rule. Is it the gun? Is it the way he goes about with the gun ? Don t know for sure. But all of his other guns (FX's and other) do a much better job. So i m inclined to go assuming this particular M3 has some 'inner defect'.
However, none of the guys here at the club will ever go claiming that -as a rule- FX guns don t work well out of the box. Quite the opposite.
. I don’t know as I cannot attest to how they perform at high power levels. I have a compact mav that shoots 25.39 at 900. A 600 mm m3 that shoots 33.95 at 900-910. A mk2 700 that I run 44.75 between 860 and 900. At reasonable power settings all these are solid. I guess hopefully the m4 will come standard with changes at holding more consistency at higher power that everyone seeks. The other guns can be run consistently let’s not kid ourselves. The m3 has won so many high level podiums it’s crazy. People discount that but if the platform was so inherently flawed that just wouldn’t be the case.
