FX Crown
- Thread starter Ezrabrook
- Start date
It's a great stock. I don't blame you. A Crown was recently availble in the BLS. But I am done for a while. But I will keep my eyes open down the road, perhaps. I think that out of the laminates, the BP is my favorite.

It does look great. Fits the background perfectly too. How old is it, if I may ask? Thanks.

Crown and Impact are different, they are each better at different things. I am partial to crown for my back yard and HFT. Impact hands down has MUCH more power for hunting.

So why is it that you have to get out the screwdrivers and allen wrenches every time you go shooting. I have or have had, 7 different FX rifles. Once I set them up to shoot how I want it, it never gets touched again. I'm a shooter, not a tinkerer.

Where did I say I have to get out screw drivers and allen wrenches every time I shoot? What are you talking about?

Seems the whole FX glamour is about adjustabilty. Liners, regulators, hammer weights, springs, blah blah blah. Many guns don't have all these features and shoot very well.

Yes GRS are very nice but I shoot LH and those are harder to find and I really like TH stocks so haven't really pursued them.

Yes that is true and that is what you are paying for with FX and easy access to order parts and service from their US offices in NC. My Cayden and Kral Super Jumbo shoot just as well but lack all the adjustability and after sales support but that is also why they cost a 1/3 the price. FX has decided to create a "platform"as their niche (just like electronic guns is Daystate's thing) from which you can buy a single action and then configure it in many different ways for difference reasons over time. If that is not your thing however I would probably just buy a Cayden as a new PCP owner and call it a day.

Yes but how many people need that much power really? My Crown is 34 FPE with pellets and almost 40 FPE with slugs already way more power then I need for small game anyway. My friend has his .25 Crown shooting slugs at 60 FPE and yes an Impact can go even higher and great that has the ability but I question how many people really need the kind of power.

You my friend is confusing need vs want which are not really related. When is the last time anyone “need” a 50 bmg, or desert eagle……
Personally speaking for hunting purposes the shorter OAL of a bullpup and massive magazine make the impact a much better hunter in more confined spaces at least. Plus you can shoot at lower power and the ability to fine tune is unmatched except maybe the electronic guns from daystate.

Plus the cool fact that fx has all the aftermarket support in bling blang parts we all really don’t need, but like to add as it makes it custom to the individual. I can’t tell you how many times I get “re excited “ to shoot my impact every time I add some kind of part. Heck, swapping it from 30 to 25 cal gets me going, as it’s like getting a new gun, lol.
The wildcat is still my all time favorite, though. I recently swapped in a tungsten hammer weight in mine and boy oh boy!

No so much what I want, ftlbs just a by product of need. That need being able to buck the wind better. Heavier slug at higher velocity will buck the wind better than lighter slug. I believe this has be illustrated many times by many shooters.
