Should you buy the FX Impact or the Crown? 

Finally, you got your impact back!!. good stuff!!.

Thanks for your effort here, your hard work and experiance shows through!

Enjoy all your videos. Hope it cools off there. Love my Impact 30 cal. Cheers from sunny Florida.

Great video and the same conclusion I’ve come to. It’s the tunabiliity and compactness that makes the Impact stand out especially in FAC guise. Love my Crown though!

Enjoyed the video mate. You sound like a good Aussie bloke with the burp lol.🇦🇺

Hi brother, I've got a crown in 177 which here in the UK is great for target shooting at my local club. Never had one as good as this but I must admit it was a hard choice to make between that and the impact. Keep em coming my friend. Good luck and best wishes. Craig. UK sniper.

Finally a RU-vid host who is not afraid to burp on camera!!

I like your reviews I just bought traded my crown in on an FX Impact and trying to set it up much like yours

Great video..

You make fringing awesome content.

awesome my friend ! bought the impact with your input>>>having an impact across the pond mate!

Thanks for the video! It totally reinforces my decision to buy a .22/700mm Impact. Following is my thinking, should anybody else be in the process of trying to decide... I chose .22 caliber for the better BC, lower air consumption, low noise level (no silencers allowed here in Canada) and economy (locally, .22 pellets are half the price of .25) as this will be my main rifle for target shooting and pesting (rats, starlings and pigeons) out to 50 yards and maybe 100-125 yards or so once slugs become available. Figure that there will be more than enough energy available for my applications; if my requirements change I can always buy a larger caliber barrel kit. On Impact vs Crown; as much as I prefer traditional rifles, I feel the additional power of the Impact, its (extra) tunability and compactness were the factors that tipped the balance - it's a bit of a scary purchase for me as I have never handled an Impact or even shot a bullpup. True the Impact is more complex than the Crown and will (potentially) require more service/maintenance but, being a compulsive tinkerer I don't see that as a problem - lots of information available on the internet and only basic tools are required. With a bit of research and care, anybody should be able to maintain the gun. The Impact has demonstrated that when properly tuned and shot by a skilled marksman that it is capable of shooting very small groups at long ranges ...I strongly expect that I will have my work cut out for me - looking forward to that :-) Anyway, hope this is of interest. Cheers, Hank

I personally like the Crown! I just can’t get myself to like the pulpup and Crown has pretty much same features in adjustability. I shoot a .22 Crown right now, will buy .25 soon and then if I come across a good deal on an Impact I will buy that too! That is if my wife doesn’t kill me..

Great vid

FX IMPACT MKII for me....glad I waited as long as I did...I got it 3 days ago and in my view it was worth every penny......

I love the crown the trigger is much nicer than the impact my favorite for hunting is the wildcat mk2 slugs work awesome in it. I been having problems keeping the slugs straight in the magazine on the impact they keep flipping sideways with pellets it works fine in .30 cal maybe it works better in .22... you’re right tho the crown is a nice bench gun it’s really long I prefer to use the wildcat or the impact when I walk around

Hi there, good to see a fellow Aussie on here. If I can't warrant the price of a Impact but might be able to stretch to the Crown would this be a good choice? I currently have a AirArms S510 but like the idea of accurate velocity changes offered by the FX's.

I bought both.Got the crown first because it was easier to get then the Impact 6 months later.Both rifles are awesome to shoot.For me the Crown was more accurate out of the box and I still tend to favor it on most days.

Ha, I love it..."Why won't my 75 grain boat tail go 1025 FPS?" gotta love it!! I have the MK2 Impact .30 and the Crown .25 and I will say my Impact is a joy to shoot and amazingly accurate but something about shouldering a classic rifle that I just love so for me it is both. I am in the minority when it comes to slugs...For what I hunt a 44 grain JSB pellet placed in the right spot tends to do just fine....The Crown is mostly a paper puncher and probably did not need to spend the kind of money they cost to kill targets but man I sure enjoy it!! Keep up the good work mate.

Great video Friend.. I'm going to get my order in soon.. .25, 600mm and I'm good.

good vid!! and glad ta see ya drink good whiskey!!!

Great video bro FX rocks either way

I told you a few videos back when you got your impact, Welcome to the impact world...now you are selling your crown! jaja The impact is an amazing platform. And I agree, stock Impact manage slugs ok in 0.22 cal, over 40 gn slugs (any cal) not so good, modifications are needed. (But with some, SilverSurfer shoots 70gn slugs .30 cal @ 950 fps with no troubles!, silverSurfer is my Mk2 highly mod impact) ;)

I believe it bro..so I bought your impact. 😁😁

Good stuff ....👍🏻👍🏻

I got the crown continuum with picatinny rail. I love it. Comes with two super lite smooth x barrels and I can swap out the short 400mm for the 700mm if I want to in about 1 minute. Just as tunable as impact. Both great guns

I have verminator 2 extreme for 5 years, yeah, a big confusion to chose impact or crown, but finally, .... i bought cricket las month 😆

Great video mate, awesome to see some Aussie airgun content. I'm contemplating a Impact M3 or a Crown for pest control shooting. Have heard the crown is easier to dial down in power to run lighter slugs and not damage infrastructure. AKA run 13g @ 500fps and easily dial the power to a 18gr @ 900fps to shoot further. Do you have an opinion on that having owned both. The new M3 Impact with the marked adjustments looks mighty fine to tune.

As to the turret unlocking in use when using dial ranges. I have the same scope type, and it annoyed the hell out of me losing all zero points in one go. Here's the fix, get an 'o' ring slightly smaller than the turret diameter, but with a bit of girth to it. Stretch and it will drop into the gap that exists between the lock ring and turret proper. Without the gap the lock ring cannot unwind, job done!

Tengo una pregunta por si me puedes ayudar. ¿Conoces alguna forma de vaciar de aire la botella de la FX Crown sin que sea a base de disparos? Gracias.

You're awesome bro

I own 2 wildcats, an impact and a boss. They are all equally accurate. The best bang for your buck in my opinion is the wildcat MK3 sniper. After market power plenum's are available. Barrels are interchangeable and they can shoot slugs very well. BTW my sniper is .25cal with 2inch pp and shoots the 34gr JSBs @1000fps and is capable of sub moa groups at 100yards. That was some impressive shooting in the seated position with your impact.

I have the mk2 impact in 25 cal with powerplenum. Shot a hare from 218 yards with jsb 34 gains mk2. With slugs +300 yards

Seems the impact is more ‘fine’ tuneable according to mr dubber, I asked him on one of his live RU-vid q&a. I held an impact in my local gun shop, it felt a bit strange, almost like how is this all that money? I then held the crown, It felt like heaven in my arms 😍. But,,, you’re right about the 700mm barrel on the crown, it looks ridiculous, at least the impact has the 700mm barrel all the way through it which hides most of it. I’m only worried with the impact that there’s more O-rings to go wrong in it, I’m definitely not going to go fiddling around inside one of those. Question now is, which one can shoot slugs better at 100 yards. For me I’d say the impact would win this contest.

I just picked up another good tip on your video...Jack Daniels...I think it might help tighten my groups up...Hahaha! Thanks again for taking the time to do these informative and fun videos mate! Cheers, Mark

Get yourself a cotton web sling US military issue circa 1970 . This will really help with offhand and sitting shots .

Now that the Continuum is out would you still recommend shooting slugs from the continuum in .22 cal?

Hi mate. Ive got a slug liner in .22 for my impact arriving in a few weeks. Need to compsre notes when it atrives. Ill be in Qld over xmas visiting my daughter. Should meet up for z cold one. Ill be in coomera then travelling north. Neil. NZ

Hi mate Enjoying your videos keep them coming Just got the FX impact today love it I’m in the UK so settled for .177 mainly for on the range what’s the name of the bipod if you wouldn’t mind saying cheers nick

Which stock is much better between FX Impact MK2 and FX Impact Power Plenum PCP? And which one is more powerful for long range Hill Hunting in India

Gud vid I got fx but the dreamline tac in UK its only sub 12lb so I got the 177 and 22 bloody wicked rifle mate short and long barrel

Brilliant and timely review. I’m grappling with exactly this decision whilst waiting for my gun licence to arrive. Thanks heaps 🍻 Out of curiosity, how do you reckon the Impact might stack up against say the Styer LG110? 🤔

What’s the safest way to depressurize an Impact , After taking off the bottle should I just dry fire it or do something else . Keep the videos coming !

pls update when slugs r available here. i have seen H&N also shipping slugs now

❤️crown

I bought both 😂

Just a heads up my friend those pellets and the regular Mark ones shoot better in the slug barrel. I’m getting half inch groups at 50 m

Good video, what is your favorite pellet to use in the fxcrown ? I have one in 6.35 and a need a good pellet to it. thanks

hey just wondering what the impact is like to shoot left handed. does the magazine get in the way?

Hi Uncle Hodge, happy new year 🥳. Question for you and advice. I know you have already sold your Crown but I would like some guidance on power, reg pressure and hammer tension. Currently in 25 cal it’s putting out 880 ft per sec, 46 ft/lbs with 26.4g JSB, Reg 130 bar and I am getting around 80 shots per full fill. I want to try the heavy JSB mk2 heavy 33. something! I have watched you tuning videos so know how to do it but what numbers should I be looking for a start off. I know all guns are different even the Crowns vary so it’s not an exact science. I think your channel is great you are very entertaining and knowledgeable. Don’t worry I will not blame you if things don’t go right. Thanks. 👍🇬🇧

the impact has way more tuning potential . That will be a huge benefit with heavier slugs .

Good video, by the way...the insect was a Mantis religiosa.

I love the impact so much but I can't find it in my country

I like ur Jim beam my favourite burbon

I want to buy lmpact mp 3. I want to know the price.

I agree .22 slugs. FX Impact. Good shot count great distance. My longest shot on a squirrel to date is 175 yrds first shot hit. Yeehaa.

How much FX IMPACT MK2 PCP will cost in Indian Rupees and which authorized and sincere Dealership available in India for purchasing the same.

Got mk1 Crown and M3 Impact and although both are very good impact is more versatile and allows you to have more accessories, on the other hand Crown is more simpler.

good

Is it true that fx impact have a problem of air leakage?.

Great video buddy , do you have power restrictions in Australia, like we do in the uk , happened to come across your channel , as I’ve recently bought an FX rifle , to be featured on my RU-vid channel soon , thanks shaneweightman

Would an Fx Crown with a 500mm superior be able to shoot .22 hybrids or knockouts under an inch or an inch and a half at 100 yards? Or do you need to have a 700mm barrel? If not, might aswell get a nice anschutz rimfire! Or maybe a volquartsen?! Air guns just seem like too much of a hassel! But i have to say the crown in yellow jacket has really stolen my heart!!! These air rifles are becoming really advanced and are well made, especially the triggers and the smooth action, very impressive and tempting!

Fx impact

hi mate how would i go with the impact being i am a left hand shooter

Hi mark, How I can get that gun (Crown) to bring to Bali?😁

I agree with you buddy. These guys are expecting to shoot heavy slugs at speeds over a 1000 feet per second isn't what these PCPs were meant to do. Im happy with shooting 25 cal. Pellets at 860 feet per second, im able to kill pest out to 80 yards all day long with it being silent. If these guys want power like that with slugs they should just go to shooting 22 rim fire guns.

can you paste the link of the pcp gun shop my friend is Vietnamese

I just bought the Impact a couple of months ago with the Helix scope. I've had to adjust the scope every time I use it. Not sure why but it seems to change. I have had the Streamline for several years with a cheaper FX scope on it and it's always dead nuts and never have to adjust it. There must be something I am doing wrong on the Impact. I was expecting as good or better results from the Impact.

With your impact on low power and say 25yard zero (I say 25 only for the next bit to show up) as you turn the power up have you noticed the pellet going right and of course higher. But it’s more the poi I was wondering about? ATVB 👍🇬🇧

I think it's something with the Crocs . every time I wear my Crocs I get zapped by static electricity. Not to say that you don't when it is blazing hot out side. Enjoyed the video man just found your channel and subbed👍👍

Whats the rangefinder your using in this video?

I hope you folks get some rain very soon.

Hi, I am in kind of the same position. The FX crown marked two fields better in my hands as compared to the FX Impact, but because I am interested in energy penetration at long distances, I am leaning towards the impact because of 25 caliber it has 90 FPE as compared to 60 FPE on the FX crown. Someone told me To purchase the crown 30 caliber which might be a good option, but I’m not sure how many shots you’ll get as compared to the impact. What’s your opinion?

I like crown GRS model with wood stock no thumb hole! Lights out rifle💥💪😱😱😱

Love to have it but....

sir how much fx crown

I bought a Daisy Red Ryder and installed a 700 mm, barrel. Iam shooting bb's 3,ooo fps.

As soon as you say that you are selling the Crown your verdict is out. I have both and favour the impact, not sure I can part with my Crown though, I just like to hold it .....

Do you have trouble with the pellets bouncing off those tires?

Ooo a new Kestral , hope your not around the wild fires!

Wildfires can be DANGEROUS!!... You could put your eye out with one of those things!

I like impact...😁

Since the FX Impact came out years ago the looks kept me from buying it , with the new technical improvements and so many flexible options I made the plunge and purchased the MKII , now that I have had a chance with her and a little foreplay I think she is beautiful ! 😁

fx impact iku regone piro bro

Kricket, It's a no brainer

Used em both but I'll stick with my Crown in fac, never actually liked the skeleton framed rifles...

Live next to the FX dealer.

What pests are you targeting?

Where can I purchase this setup?

Is it still for sale ?

Why cant you get Slugs in your country

What happened your group spread so much.... On FX CROWN ❓My FX CROWN CONTINUUM.177 caliber much tighter group than that

You Should buy Uragan this is the answer of your video title

Just buy both.

Hey! I'm wondering how the Jack Daniels fits into the sighting-in... ::: big smile:::

Hi bro... How can i know if I have slug liner or not in my impact

Fx crown..simple

No suppressors on powder or air guns in Australia, huh?.....You are hereby officially invited to move to the U.S where you can have them on either...Powder guns require the purchase of a tax stamp ($200.00 plus the cost of the suppressor), but for the air guns there's no need for a tax stamp.

Wayyyyyyy overpriced when people have to spend a lot of extra money to get these FX airguns to shoot precisely😞 Nice comparison tho👍👍👍👍

If you live in America, you don't have to worry about it. FX doesn't appear to be shipping to America anymore. No matter which one you order, you'll wait so long to get it, you will have purchased something else just to have something to shoot. Nothing is that good to wait that damned long for a pellet gun.
