I just looked on Utah Airguns. They show a new Royale 500 with a synthetic stock as being in stock right now. If I hadn't just bought a Vulcan 3 I would be all over that.

FX Still Enjoying My FX Royale 400! What Are You Shooting?
- Thread starter Greenarrow
- Start date
Just a follow-up on my previous post. I special ordered an FX Royale 400 (.22 and walnut stock)through Pyramid Air. The fella I worked with was Mark Welker. Very knowledgable and patient - a joy to talk with because he is an enthusiast. He must have spent 30-45 minutes talking with me. I asked him if I could request a nicely figured stock and he pretty much said that they get what they get. Not being totally discouraged I IM'd FX via AGN and got a very nice response in short order. Basically what was communicated to me was that they would look over their limited supply of stocks and pick one out for me. Really great service from a first rate company. Thank you FX! Now, the wait for my new Royale begins.

Your persistence paid off Bill.
Post some pics of the new Royale when you receive it. This will hopefully become one of your favorite air rifles.

It won't be the hottest thing in the pcp world but it will shoot with the best. No slugs but will one hole pellets (18 grain JSB) at 50 yards with no wind. I have three Royals and it's hard to decide which one to shoot. Enjoy.

I first searched out anyone who had a nice regulated Royale - nothing. People just don't eve rsell them.

Fine rifle you got there, nice stock and if its anything like the FX guns I've owned it's a real shooter. I have a Boss .30 original S/T barrel thats a tack driver.

Best of luck with the new .22 Royale Bill. Yes, the stock looks very good.
I am sure it was worth the wait from PYA. Is it brand new or used? I only ask because I thought FX stopped making the Royale, and they are hard to find.
You’ll really appreciate the consistent accuracy with either/both the JSB 15.89 or 18.1 pellets. I also was lucky to find a.30 Boss ST and bought it from another AGN member. That gun is also very accurate at both 50 and 100 yards, especially when wind is light.

I read somewhere recently that an FX representative had responded to this by saying no, the line is not discontinued, but due to low demand it is a special-order rifle. I take that to mean that the profit margin is much more attractive on the other gadgetry they sell, and that the Boss/Royale line might not be around much longer.

Brand new - was special ordered. I'm over the moon with it!. Walnut no longer offered - neither is laminate.

If FX would make the Bobcat .22 I would probably have one. The Royales would be the only one from FX I would own at the moment that they still make.
