FX Is the Crown Going Away?

Love the crown. Almost seems like FX wants them to go away being the superlight barrel system is terrible imo. At least crown enthusiasts should have the option of either barrel. I have owned and operated both barrel systems. The only thing Ive found positive in the SLB is you will have new friends to commiserate with after you buy one haha not trying to say people haven’t good experiences just the old barrel system was……..”SUPERIOR”.

It seems to me that the FX King pretty much replaces the Crown. I love my Crown MK2; in fact I actually have two of them. The King though has all the features that I always thought an eventual Crown MK3 should have.

And King will be replaced by the son of the Leopard....

Wow! That's a lot to digest.
Let's see, my Mk2 Crown has six barrels in 177, 22 and 25. I haven't shot the 25 much but all the rest are some of the most accurate I've ever shot. No poi problems, syn stocks are super comfy for me. I dunno, it just works, so well that I'd love to have another action. The Crown is easy to work on too.

As to it going away, dunno, everyone seems to get bored easily and want more, different, next gen, wow factor etc, so traditional may not hang with the plan. It's good that Daystate keeps the Regal so maybe the Crown stays. Who knows?

I loved the one crown I owned I had a .177 & .22 barrel for it and it was very accurate and overall just a fun gun to own.
I did buy a .30 King and replaced the GRS to a saber tactical stock which made it far better for shooting off a bench, and I love this gun extremely accurate and easy to tune for pellet weights and designs (I didn’t buy it for shooting slugs but always have that option!) basically I like everything about this gun even the gauges on side of block, easier to read when shooting from a rest.

Maybe production will slow as demand does and seems to have but I doubt they will go away completely. I don’t think the wildcat/maverick platform will either. All these platforms offer much better modularity than the dynamic block guns. Sure there are many that is important too. For most average shooters the older platforms do plenty. Leopard looks and seems cool but it honestly offers nothing to me personally that my wildcat BT won’t do.
