What's better FX Impact M3 or FX Maverick

- It really boils down to personal preference. Both these guns are able to shoot just as well as the other. It really is a hard choice for me some days but if I had to pick just one right now it would probably be the Maverick.

I agree with, pretty much, everything you said. I think the Impact is probably a slightly better tool if you're into benchrest competitions. But, if you're "Joe Typical" (which most of us are) out hunting small to medium game, or plinking, either gun fits the bill. Not to mention, the price of the Maverick makes entry into the FX world a little easier for folks on a budget while providing similar performance.
Brilliant bit of myth busting! The Maverick is a simpler gun that has all the power of the impact if set up right and can be set up to shoot any pellet or slug out there at the same power levels as an Impact. The only bonus with the M3 is its marginally easier to fine tune if you use multiple ammo types through it. The other bonus with the Maverick is fewer seals to diagnose if your do get a leak.
I am currently researching, shopping, and trying to decide what to purchase for my first air rifle. I was stuck on the Impact just because it seems a great piece of equipment. I will now take a look at the Maverick. Since I've never owned an air rifle of such quality, perhaps your advice about being a beginner is a great point. Thanks for posting; much appreciated.
Fx impact mk2 is my favorite but I love my m3 22 cal 700mm having fun with both lol thanks for sharing bsafe I'm glad I found your channel 😊
Thanks for the sub!
Okay, for the efficiency of the Maverick (which is more important to me) and the lower price point, I would go with the Maverick. The capabilities and performance of these two, for what I would use them for, are far too similar to not save about $400 on the price. I’ve actually got an MKII Impact with 600mm in .22. Love the compact version too tho. Seriously thinking about switching up. These superior liners absolutely love the Barracuda Match 21.14’s in the 5.52 head size and the BC will surprise you. I think it’s more than the .039 that they state. Zeroed at 35yds (top of the trajectory curve for my set up) and @905fps, I’m only experiencing a 3.5 mil drop at 100yds. And they are laser accurate.
Another great video and couldn't have said it better. Although I don't own a impact I have a 177 maverick and a 22 sniper maverick. I do want a 25 wildcat mk3 than my barrel systems will be interchangeable between them. I also have a 22 dream pup and all are fantastic shooters!!!
Now that the Maverick has a much bigger 89cc power plenum compared to the 72cc on the impact. Good advice you got me thinking.✌️
well damm moose I watch this a year later and now I want a maverick 😁🙏🏻💪🏻👍🏻
Agree with pretty much everything but truth is no matter what FX you get they'll all shoot better than most shooters! Like you said the barrels are standard no matter what model!
I just need to find out what kid I am going to sell to get one of these! Dang these suckers are expensive! I got started with a Hatsan PCP .22. Its a tac driver. But now I want to upgrade but with these prices dang! I got my Hatsan refurbished. This saved me $200 bucks. I wish FX would have something like that. Thanks for your insite on this. Have a blessed week!!!
Agreed. Next time, be more specific. Have some numbers. Love the channel!
Noted! I agree, I got side tracked and forgot to mention a few other things. I will do a followup
Thank you for making some sense out of the Maverick-Impact mania. I have an Impact MK2 and the fervor created made me consider, just for a moment, getting the Maverick as well so as to 'cover all bases' until one realizes that there are quite a few really good airguns, and new ones as well, on the market today. And all these videos are helping us to understand them better.
Glad I could help!
Impact for sure!
The Impact M3 is the best gun my friend 😉 he gives more power 💪 Best regards from Portugal 💪🙏🇵🇹😉
They do shoot long range pretty good too!
Thank you! I should go maverick 22cal. from in the Japan.
Thanks for all your hard work on the videos you put out! Regarding the maverick you mentioned a single point sling. Is there a way to mount one on the impact (M3)? If yes could you show the method you would attach it?
Love the videos!! Keep the good information coming!
Sure will buddy
I think I've made my decision. I was on the fence between a Crown and Impact, but I believe the squirrels won't mind being shot by a Maverick.
The Impact is a much handier length for woods work.
Was that a maverick sniper ? That blew my head off?
I bought a used Maverick from a friend. Graduated from a Hatsan Flashpup that I loved. No comparison between the two !
That is awesome, and you are right, no comparison
FX Impact for sure!
Those are some nice setups you have there. I love both my Maverick & Impact & Warcat edition Wildcat. Mine all are compact and I use them for different types of hunting. All have their positives. I don't have anything negative to say about either. Where did you get the camo wrap for your maverick compact? That looks so insane. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the two airguns. I think you're right about the money.
GREAT VID!!! THANK YOU!!!! so the big question... I have the FX500 Royale and the BOSS .30... I have gotten really good at rebuilding them... even the regs... every 3 years. I'm more concerned with accuracy... Are these new rifles much more accurate with pellets? Also... how much more of a leaning curve will I have when it comes to re sealing these units? Thanks so much!
I'm stuck between the fx maverick and the fx power pup. Do a fx maverick vs. Fx power pup video.
I got the Impact for the higher magazine capacity.
Both are very good 👍
I would be happy with either one. They both beat the piss out of my hatsan At-44. I like my gun and have no problem taking rabbits at 65 yards but the shot count sucks 2 10 round mags and iam pumping back up. Plus I wish I could get the velocity to shoot slugs.
Yeah, it's another universe. I got an AT-44 about ten years ago, as my first venture into PCPs (was a springer shooter for years before that) and was utterly disappointed with my particular one. I took another chance with Hatsan after that (BT65 in .25) which is actually extremely accurate up to 80ish yards and massively powerful (although very low shot count). But the first push of the charging handle on an FX is something magical. I think that any of the FX modular platforms are all the gun you'll ever need.
Unless you shoot lefty. Then the Maverick magazine will be in the way. Impact for lefty or Crown
My 1st pcp air rifle was a Benjamin Marauder GenII in .25 cal Green Mtn barrel. Very accurate to 100 yards. I thought it was expensive at the time 🤔. I now have two Impact MKII'S one in .22 and one in .25 cal. Both have 700mm barrels. I also have two Benjamin Kratos. One in .22 and one in .25 cal. Also a Benjamin Akela in .22 cal. I bought a few break barrels all in .22 cal. BOTTOM LINE BUY AN IMPACT. ALL THE OTHER ONES ARE OK BUT THEY JUST COLLECT DUST NOW.
Thanks.
I bought a maverick sniper with a helix scope in 30cal and I can't wait to get my hands on it.
Nice!
Hope you have better luck with it than I have, my .30 maverick sucks big time. Way to many issues 😆 you will see.
Got both
Absolutely 💯 agree
I realize this video is a few years old. That said the big question for me is if the Impact is $350-400 better than the Maverick (which I own a VP version).
100% a better gun
Sounds like the Maverick may have the same tuning mechanism as the Wildcat MK3.
I was going back and forth with these two. My deciding factor was the magazine location as I shoot lefty. Having a mag in my face did not seem optimal.
They have kits for Impacts now that make the mag load from the other side
nice video ....go maverick!!
Thanks 👍
Thanks fir the info....FX Maverick in compact and sniper in .25......and no your not boring
Save some money for ammo 😆😁
Right on
what reg settings are you using on the maverick ?
I have a Maverick.30 and an M3 ordered. Both are great guns.
UPDATE : After a year or so of owning both, I will say this. Both cloverleaf at 50 yards with the tune Utah Airguns put on them, so I have not tinkered with tunes at all. I like the location of the safety much better on the Impact. Other than that, I’m very pleased with both rifles.
Nice
Did you notice any of the pinging sounds coming from the maverick?
@@Josh.AdamOfficial Just got a Maverick from Utah Airguns,great tune in a .25 cal.I don't hear any ping only have run 50 shots thru it but nothing noticable to me .I am close to 70 so maybe my ears are not that sensitive!!
Interesting
When maverick mk2 release? I hope have a big improvment for new maverick mk2 but i think maverick for long range and big very good for it
Impact is competition ready but for hunting give me a Maverick 💯🇺🇸💪👍🎯
When are going to be in stores seems like never
Another point for the impact is that the action is not under your ear, compared to the maverick/wildcat where the action is right onder the cheekrest. This can get loud when you crank the power and in my case when you have an awkwardly positioned nightvision that forces your ear closer to the cheekweld. Also the cocking lever on the impact is waaay more easy to reach without letting go of the grip
Hmm
Well, you answered multiple questions, but the big one wash how much energy does it take to dispatch a squirrel. 6 ft#. I've been bouncing between a .22 and a.25 and in my case I need the range to cap those darn things effectively, about 100 yards. Oh the decisions but the Maverick is on the top of my list in either caliber.
Good choice, they both are. But either one will make you happy
Outstanding thanks . im looking something less powerful than the 22lr (ricochet worry) im trying for a 22grain .22 slug @ 999 fps so roughly 50% of the lr energy. Is this practical/possible with both guns ? It will be the sniper version. And likely the maverick
Thanks for your time and help.
Yes that is absolutely possible
I have an RWS career 707 now. And looking to upgrade to I think an FX series so I just am watching a ton of these videos to see which one I actually want. Either way, would you say start with the shorter barrel for 100 yards or under. Will the shorter barrel still place a pellet into a pellet at 40 to 60 yards . Also, what do you think about 22 to 25 caliber Fantastic video thank you so much.
I would suggest checking out Airmaks Arms Krate X as well. All can be had at utahairguns.com
Is the Maverick also double regulated just as the Impact is?
I just bought a new Maverick I was told to shoot 500 shots at factory settings the 2nd reg is set around 110 bars the p.w. Is set at 6 is that really close to factory settings? Someone tell me ok ???
If I were to pull the trigger and buy my first air rifle what would you say would be best for a beginner? I'm wanting powerful and room to grow. I've been really considering the LCS Sk19 but the price range is pretty high for me. There's many others but I guess I'd like to hear from someone with more knowledge, what model and caliber is your pick?
Buy an FX airgun.
5.5 mm
Ultimately it’s putting yeah shot on the dot and bearing that in mind then the must buy is a HW100T, a whole lot less trouble and far more accurate…well that’s certainly the case here in the UK…The FX are terrible on their valves… what with creep and I must admit to breaking a smile when he said he required a valve housing for his impact. Over here in the UK we refer to the FX as expensive trash. Maybe down to the sub 12ft regulation but the valves are often having to be replaced due to failure…creep.
I would if I had the $ buy the M3 first then the maverick 👍👍
I hunt almost exclusively with fx impact 25cal cannot go wrong dead on
I find it strange the obsession with high power in air rifles , for me the advantage of a pcp air rifle is that it is less powerful and can be safey used in areas where a rimfire can't , which rifle do I have ? , the maverick , there is less to go wrong and it has more than enough power to do the job
Any suggestions on tuning? I have a mav compact .25 and cannot get my gun to shoot over 640fps. I’m not sure what’s going on. Got my front reg at 170-180 and last reg at 150. Power level 7…
Your rear reg is probably a little high for the stock hammer. Lower it to 100 bar and start shooting in 5 bar increments till you find a good speed. If that doesn't work set your hammer screw out to 5.6mm
What speed do you get out of the compact maverick with slugs and what weight ? How about speed using the jsb 25.4 grains ?
I'm getting 905ish with JSB Hades
On my Maverick 600 mm shooting NSA 26.8 110 on the regulator 16.80 mm on the hammer 975 fps shoots like a laser
I have a .35Cal M3 w 4x16 FFP Element... was looking for a lower caliber 3rd so I was on the fence with a Maverick vs just another Impact M3
Also please note the M3 .35Cal cannot use existing interchange kits.... as it is higher powered ... ( 35 Cal M3 maybe the upward compatibility M3 )
Both great guns. I prefer the Impact for sure.
"cannot using existing interchangeable kits.." Can you please explain what or which cannot use?Asking because there is one slightly used Mk3 with .22 and .35 barrels.
Little bit pricey,so I wouldn't like to make mistake in the start.Thank you in advance.
Im actually in the market for a new airgun and soo far its a impact m3 or a kalibrgun cricket 2 tatical. I would be all over a maverick but im a lefty and it looks like the maverick mags would be into my face or nose area?.
Any thoughts?
Do you have access to a airgun shop? I'd suggest going to one and holding on to the airguns. Any of the ones you listed are fine airguns for sure.
@@abitoutside no airgun shops around me here in Tennessee, lol might just flip a coin between the 2.
I dont hunt any but i do a bit of plinking so i would like a good shot count for paper punching.😀👍
Both great "gunies" !! and at 15:13 NO you did´t !! Greetings from Norway
You would think that the maverick would be a little bit more powerful than the impact because the plenum on the maverick is slightly larger what are your thoughts about the Maverick having a bigger plenium?
The plenum adds to greater efficiency, but the valve adjustment is where the Impact gets that little extra poof.
That's what I was thinking 🤔
@@abitoutside Thanks you answered my question, seems like nobody is talking about that, do you happen to know of any channels that go into more detail? I read the impact can get 360 shots on one fill. Thx✌️🇺🇲
@@yukonjack. I've got the M3 impact .30 and it gets maybe 50 shots per fill when cranked up. Maybe a UK model gets more shots per fill being so powerless
@@yukonjack.i shoot .22 18gr (fx heavy) with an impact 700mm sniper version and get 9 magazines which is 250shots easy
Moose your opinion please, in shooting fx impact 25 cal my tune is 950 fps as 2nd reg 110 really dont want to raise it?
I always say if the gun is happy and shooting good, let it be. Sounds like you found a good tune.
What kind of energy do you get out of your impact compact ?
Depends, right now I shoot Hades at around 25-28 fpe, in 22 caliber. But I can get it up to around 70 or so.
Maverick 😉
Big diff is the time between shots on the Mav vs impact
I dont have a difference in mine. Some regs recover slower than others.
Maverick.25 all the way 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍
I have both. For whatever reason I find myself reaching for the Maverick more than the Impact.
me too
Mav is cheaper than impact also less orings and easy to tune. Impact have fine tune capability and much more but not easy to tune like maverick. for first airgun buyers like me Then maverick is best dicision anytime. But for experts tuners and self repairers can go with impact.after all impact is the king of all airguns.
Neither are king of airguns any longer but they are fun
@@abitoutside i am from india hear no any single spare availability of foreign made airguns not even orinhs but i like mavrick should i buy
@@abitoutside whats the king in your opinion? just curious
So witch one is king now in your opinion and show your sources of info please we all want to know yes there are better ones out there butt not in this price point @abitoutside
Hey, I’m from Greenville Michigan looking to buy an air rifle used. Do you have any suggestions?
Check the forums, I sell sometimes in videos
Maverick or Impact? CROWN!!😎
Crown is not as powerful as these two, that's why I didn't include mine.
How many round mag ms impact compact?
maverick puppies writes the rules!!!
How about the FX MAVERICK COMPACT? CAN IT HIT OUT TO 100 YARDS WITH PERCISION?
Most compacts will struggle with 100 yards accurately
@@abitoutside
Are the Fx all there cracked up to be?
I have a couple airguns, AEAPro Challenger. 30 cal
Aea Hp semi auto carbine. 30 cal
The thing I liked about Fx was the fact it had 124 FPE and can put out 105 shots at that FPE.. BUT they're really expensive, so if I bought one or any, I'd want it to not be so long it can't get out of its own way! Do you have any Ideas?
.30 cal
FPE AROUND 120 SHOTS 90 plus ON full power. Plus I liked how they have mags that hold 20 plus in that cal
There is no proven difference in accuracy between 500-600-700mm barrels! The 500mm might be harder to tune for accuracy but that’s it. Barrel length vs accuracy is a myth that has long been busted
Hi Moose, what is the quietest Donny suppressor for the Impact F3 Compact to make it back yard friendly? Thanks in advance!
Depends on the caliber, but a Ronin will make it hush hush for sure @donnyfl
@@abitoutside .22
wildcat and Mavericks which one is better
The New Wildcat bottle would be comparable to the Maverick
If you’re left hand shooter then impact. If you’re a right hand shooter Maverick. 😂
It really look like a spider coming down from the ceiling
I’m looking for something that just as good but much cheaper and it’s coming soon! May already be out there!
Try the air venturi avenger, About $450.00
☆☆☆☆☆ Impact..of course🤣🤣🤣
Can the maverick be shot left handed comfortably? I would love one in 30cal for squirrel,rabbits,calling coons and coyotes.
I would think it could be, but I'm right handed.
MAVERICK...!
To bad they didn't make the magazine work like in the Reign. Load it into either side. Boom genius!
The Walther Reign magazines are fantastic.
I’d even take a wildcat 💯❤️🇺🇸🎯💪
Yep
Actually my question is 600mm vs 700mm
Personal choice but I prefer the 700mm
I have the 700mm and although it gets 250shots per fill in .22, it’s a real hassle just bringing the rifle in and out of the house for sessions… I’m buying a 500mm barrelkit for it
Wildcat and the Maverick are actually more powerful than the impact because they have a larger plenum to draw from and they can be tuned to higher velocities the impact is more of a fine-tuned Precision piece that is more expensive they all do the same job it just all depends on how big of a narcissist you are and how much you want to have something better than the next guy I have both I speak from experience not just blowing smoke up your you know what
FYI to us shooters we have to shoot quarry at 12ftlb unless we get a certificate (which isn’t simple) squirrels really don’t need 80ftlb 😂😂😂
Exactly..
If I was being stalked by an aggressive squirrel; I would be terrified to only have 12ft lbs between myself and certain death.
Whats the point...people cant get their hands on either of them ...
Not sure what you mean? They are available. just have to stop looking at all the large companies where everyone else shops
Impact is hands down better for many reasons. I got one of the very first Mavericks and sold it the very next day. If you never had an Impact before then this video is very informative but still difficult to appreciate how much better the impact is without actually owning one, if you have an impact then just skip the maverick.
Why is it better? No point in making a statement without specifics.
At the end it comes back to your wallet to choose.
They are close in price but for sure
I will stick with my FX Dream Tact Compact. Works better for us lefties. Much less $'s...
Great choice if it boils down to money for sure. The Maverick or crown and Impact can be shot by left handed shooters
Maverick looks kid toys, impact is more like man toys 😁😁
Lol
I must have bought a lemon because my maverick sucks donkey D. Nothing but issue after issue. Definitely will be selling it, its WAY over rated and definitely not worth the price.
Email me maybe we can trade or something airgunsofmichigan@gmail.com
@@abitoutside sounds good
If it’s still in warranty just send it back
I think it is all marketing! You were told to "push" the maverick from your sponsors
You obviously have never seen my videos and are trolling. If you continue to troll I will block you. Thanks for watching.
hello, very, very good video, thanks for your opinion, it helped me a lot at the moment of deciding!!! we send you a hug from argentina halcón airguns is our channel in case you are interested in watching from now on thank you very much
