    Plus one on that, they're fugly

    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

    Progress is a tricky thing, there's a good argument that those pictures pretty much make the case for licensing to the untrained eye.
    A man can always use more alcohol, tobacco and firearms.

    FX crown is the new daddy on the block. 700 plus shots. Handles superbly and with exellent balance. The synthetic is lighter still. The high capacity mag doesn’t sit directly under the scope. But slightly to the side. As said before.. if it really bothers you to fit low mounts then use a lower capacity magazine. In my opinion it’s far and away the best traditional PCP on sale at this time

    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.
    You can spend thousands and still miss a barn door or spend just enough and enjoy yourself. If you haven't got the talent to start with a million pound won't fix it. Whippet, Russell, a few bang sticks and a flat cap. http://www.smart-tech1st.co.uk

    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

    my Impact has a 21 shot mag and does sits well bellow the top of the action so its not they can not design a mag like that??

    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.

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

    I think it was more his breakfast coming back up due to the hideous looks of FX.

    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....
