When i purchased my first FX M3 its sole purpose was to be for extended range shooting with slugs....
Distances of less than 100yds and pellets are of no interest.
It has been a VERY frustrating adventure with the M3.... I never dreamed the M3 was actually a "Jekyll and Hyde" in the disguise as an PCP airgun..
When the M3 presents itself as "Dr Jekyll" it is VERY charming....behaves as should and produces some stunning , stunning examples of accuracy right where it should be and right where you want it.
In this form its a fantastic friend to have and something you can depend on..
BUT!!!
Just when you thought life was all roses and just couldn't get any better.......This evil evil bastard called " Mr Hyde" takes the form of the M3!!!!
Groups open up......... and the worst , worst trait of "Mr Hyde" ...............even if you do get good groups , they are not where they are supposed to be ....... he just says to hell with it, and puts them at random all around your point of aim ......then you hear that manic laughter and you realise its time to call it quits for the day.


Today...... was "Dr Jekyll"
100yds and 300yds ( small breeze R to L)
NSA 28.5 ( .218") @ 1070fps...
