FX Crown

[Rob Edge]

Wait until you try it, Rob. The on-aim stability is remarkable, and plenty of shooters without extended kneck were incredibly comfortable with it, I assure you.

Not for me Terry, just not for me.

I was visiting a certain guardian of the squirrels
I had my Air Ranger next too it a great comparison as they have very very similar dimensions
Somehow FX have made the crown feel about half the weight as the AR and the styling of the stock could have been custom made for me
the cheekpiece is definitely higher and the hold on the pistol grip is superb i tend to shoot my AR thumb up rather than use the thumbhole but the thumbhole worked perfectly on the crown
I tried my mates Impact and wildcat and id say id choose the crown over both
the cocking mech was also sublime
Like i said before if i could afford one id order one tomorrow

For that price it should be custom fit. The bubble is going to burst on these guns very soon. The market is moving to reduced cost high quality offerings and we all know what happened to the dinosaurs.

And who did the research and development to allow the cheaper end of the market to catch up
Air guns are like anything else take cars for example I could buy a fancy range rover but i like my Jimny

It wasn't FX, they were relatively late to the party.

Volcanoes and an Asteroid is going to wreak havoc on airguns like it did the Dinosaurs ?


Maybe a BSA will bring out a cheap airgun called the " Meteorite" and every one will sell their old ones to buy it instead.

Do you ever post anything which isn't silly.

Possibly but I don't say the only good things are the ones I own

you are slagging off a rifle yet the "Mans gun" you have is not much better looking




Or this .




I know what one looks better in my eyes and its not the bottom one

And I know you go on and on about how great it is ,So dont bother . I have read it all before .

I can put low mounts on the Galatian and it may be ugly but the rabbits don't seem to mind. You do realise that I can buy four Galatians with change for one of your choice.. Which one of us is sane.......

The sane one is the one who buys the Impact....

And if what Terry said above about the smaller magazine fitting the crown is true Then you could use that then fit a lower set of mounts to the crown i would assume .

I would be guessing the the Crown is set up to use high mounts anyway .

And I would not be buying either of them as I prefer self contained rifles (springers and my Gas Ram rifle) . If I wanted a PCP and had the money to buy one it would still not be the Galatian even if it was £299 new

You don't have to mentally challenged to spend thousands on one airgun either . If you do ,Then there is loads of mentally challenged people on this forum

Agreed. You see I don't extol the virtues of something based on what it cost. The most important virtue of any purchase is the ability to do the task it was purchased for and the value for money it offered. Shiney bits are just vanity when all said and done.

Is it, Rob? What makes you think that, mate?

The Crown is selling beyond supply, Daystate's order books are crammed with shooters who want the new Red Wolf and Wolverine R, and Air Arms still can't make enough Galahads and Ultimate Sporters. I'm sure there will always be a high demand for high quality/more affordable guns, but there will also be a permanent demand from those who prefer, and can afford, the 'designer' rifles.

Many, many shooters of all types indulge themselves with guns that provide pleasure of ownership, in addition to simply doing a job. It's not about 'need', it's more about 'want' and 'enjoy'. There's room for us all, and may that always be the case.

Terry,

I used to buy the TBM (trail bike magazine) and every month they did a column that showed what bikes that were at top of the sales list the previous month .Like this https://www.dropbox.com/s/dvv47jt2w9...61343.jpg?dl=0

Is there anything like this for Airgun sales ?

I know it may be difficult with private sales for the european sellers . Iit would show whats being sold in the UK market.

I hope for all our sakes your right Terry. In my opinion the closer we get to Brexit, the more we will see inflation rise which is going to tighten the purse strings of just about everyone. Coupled with the impending licensing, which is very likely to happen if you read between the lines. The American market is already awash with low price high quality offerings and they will find their way over here. Until the above happens.

You're reading between lines that are WAY different to the ones I'm looking at, Rob. I'll be absolutely amazed if licensing happens, and we still don't know what the full effect of Brexit will be, do we?

I've studied things from every angle I have have access to and I'm staying positive. You should try it, mate.

I hope your positivity is right.
