Oh man........that's going to be sweet!!! Sounds like you did it right by going all in. I wish I would have done that from the start. I just didn't know I would get as involved as I did.

I tried to work a deal with UA for one of those or a Sniper HR. Maybe next year.

Pics for sure when you get it! And welcome to AGN!!

Holy cow man,

That's going to be an experience and whole lot of fun too.

I just got a new toy today too... I'll post in bit!

Thanks guys.

I have had a RWS 48 .22 for about 15 years. I think this Crown will be a whole new ball game for me. Can't wait.

Good choice you’ll love it!

Do an unboxing video for yourself when it arrives to relive the excitement! Great choice!

LOL. I looked at them. My concience got the best of me. I have a SCBA fill station at work.

I have one with the green laminate stock. I need to purchase a synthetic stock because I don't want to scratch the laminate stock. You will love it.

I am going to check with Utah Airguns to make sure it is lugit before I adjust mine. but it looks like he knows what he is talking about.

Great choice, I'm sure you'll be impressed.

Don't mess with it.......just shoot it. It will be more accurate than you are right out of the box. Many contributors on this and other forums mess with their FX guns, screw them up and then blame FX.

Dont forget the Meathead Marksman isn't allowed a silencer on his Crown where he lives, so if you follow the series from the beggining his goal was to make the rifle quiet!

As mentioned above most Crowns come pretty well tuned out the box for the lighter .25 pellet, my adivce would be to shoot at least a few tins with it first before mucking about with any settings.

The FX guns need patience to tune and if you are a newcomer you may find it all a bit stressfull!

HD2010 · Oct 12, 2018

Thanks for the info guys.

I hope to be so impressed with it that I won't have the desire to mess with it.

Advise well taken. I have had mine for awhile now and I am lucky to have Utah Airguns 1.5 hrs down the street. They are a great crew. I can stop in and ask them advise before I screw it up. I would like the shot strings to have a nice flat line for consistency. First step is for me to graph it.

Congratulations HD 2010. The Crown was my first PCP in June. It is a very nice rifle. I tend to agree with the posts that say leave it alone, and just find the pellets, and power setting that you like. Unfortunately for me the expenses were just beginning, because I got the PCP fever and the only cure was 6 more rifles. Medical insurance did not cover this illness.

Enjoy,

Fred

I did the same as you but before they had the synthetic stock. You will not regret it. The only tuning I did was turn the regulator up a little and adjust the hammer spring. Every time I shot it, I just get more and more impressed. Coming from high end rimfire rifles, I'd put it up against any I own.
