I talk to Travis at Utah Airgun and he says the new Crown's has a picatinny rail now, right?
Thanks

Well, here's a convincing endorsement, wow!
Paging @TMH on isle 7 for Crown family photo!
the crown mk2 has 20MOA Pic rails on top but no rails or even sling studs under. That’s one little gripe I have with the crown is the lack of sling studs.
although I never tried the ST crown but I don’t particularly like the shoulder pad adjustment system, the weight and the way they designed the bag rider(had it on my impact).

Oh, there were on synthetic stocks, but I'm not sure if they removed them. Also not sure if any of the wood stocks had them added. I recall seeing some. Would be best to ask the retailer.
The load from my bipod (maybe my dog knocked it over?) broke one of my synthetic stocks at the trigger guard. I went away on vacation, and a day or two after returning, noticed it had cracked. I have been known to load my gun pretty hard on the bag/bipod. Not that it's necessary.

O.K., O.K., yes I do like my Crowns! Not shown: .30 cal GRS 600mm, arriving this morning.
BTW- I don't think that Crowns come with a Pic rail section on the bottom for your bipod. Seems like not everyone wants their stock drilled out for rail installation, so FX leaves this to be done by the end user.

I have a Gen 1 Continuum in .25 that I shoot pretty much exclusively with the 380 barrel. That short little barrel has completely blown me away! I can’t believe the accuracy from it with 25.4gr @ about 860fps.
I plan to sell the 700mm I just don’t use it enough. I plan to pick up a 500mm .25 for shooting 34gr.
I upgraded to a new 380mm Superior liner and put a carbon sleeve on. Not sure it really needed it, here’s the last 27 shots last night finishing off a few different tins.
I’m just shy of 20,000 pellets through this gun and it just seems to get better.
MOA @ 50yds is completely unacceptable from this gun.

Did you put the lower picatinny rail on the blue laminate one?
Nice stable of Crown's there

You can order a 500mm shroud from fx and liner elsewhere and just throw them on your 700mm BTW @srtmat
All generations of crown use the same shroud though some of the other components are different
Excellent groups BTW!

Blue Lam and Walnut stocks both came on used guns, with first owner installed lower Pic rails.
On the others when I want to shoot off a bipod, I use the Saber Tactical bottle mount Pic. If not, I shoot off front and rear bags.

I'm going to try the bottle mount first. Can always move it closer to the neck to reduce potential for flex, even though moving it farther out on the bottle would be better for stability.

On lesser guns maybe, but the crown's receiver is super strong. No worries on my end. I like the hawke sling stud clamp for bipod mount better than Sabre tactical

I’ll pay it!with a 500mm barrel ?
sorry, it’s crown, you will have multiple Berrals eventually.
380mm is phenomenal with pellets and surprisingly good with slugs but at slower speed which isn’t a big deal IMHO.
500mm is probably best all around barrel for pellets and lighter slugs, if I only get 1 barrel for everything then 500mm is probably what I would go for.
600mm is bench only to me and 700mm is hysterically long.
THEN there is the hard question of which caliber…..

My Crown Yellojacket came with a 600mm barrel. Good accuracy and performance, but I felt it was too long. I replaced the barrel with a 380 mm. Works great for me.

That's amazing how well the 380mm dose, but considering how short the barrel is on the Ataman AP16 pistol I shouldn't be

Nice groups. Where did you pick up the carbon fiber liner and how did you install it with the spacers?
