Should you buy the FX Impact or the Crown?

Skip to My Answer to the title question (17:00)
A casual meandering, rambling video of a warm Sunday afternoon on the range.
I rekon if you want more power and more features go for the impact, but if your shooting mostly pellets and want something cheaper and simpler go for the crown.

[@hankvana2149]

Thanks for the video! It totally reinforces my decision to buy a .22/700mm Impact. Following is my thinking, should anybody else be in the process of trying to decide... I chose .22 caliber for the better BC, lower air consumption, low noise level (no silencers allowed here in Canada) and economy (locally, .22 pellets are half the price of .25) as this will be my main rifle for target shooting and pesting (rats, starlings and pigeons) out to 50 yards and maybe 100-125 yards or so once slugs become available. Figure that there will be more than enough energy available for my applications; if my requirements change I can always buy a larger caliber barrel kit. On Impact vs Crown; as much as I prefer traditional rifles, I feel the additional power of the Impact, its (extra) tunability and compactness were the factors that tipped the balance - it's a bit of a scary purchase for me as I have never handled an Impact or even shot a bullpup. True the Impact is more complex than the Crown and will (potentially) require more service/maintenance but, being a compulsive tinkerer I don't see that as a problem - lots of information available on the internet and only basic tools are required. With a bit of research and care, anybody should be able to maintain the gun. The Impact has demonstrated that when properly tuned and shot by a skilled marksman that it is capable of shooting very small groups at long ranges ...I strongly expect that I will have my work cut out for me - looking forward to that :-) Anyway, hope this is of interest. Cheers, Hank

[@hankvana2149]

@scuba Steve I have a .25 FX Royale 500, very nice rifle but I don't shoot it very often (will be selling it) - for all the reasons I listed above I much prefer my .22 HW100 FSB. Think that a .22 MKII will put out the about the same fpe as my Royale so that kinda makes the economy of the .22 even more attractive. That and I asked myself how often do I REALLY need a .25 to do something I couldn't do with the .22 if I had to. I've started looking at the heavy .22 pellets from H&N and JSB and figure that at typical racoon and porcupine pesting ranges they would be fine for that application and I didn't need the .25. Was thinking that as "Plan B" a large caliber barrel kit might be a suitable solution in case I need the extra power but have since decided that it would be more economical and more practical to go the aftermarket plenum upgrade route. Anyway, I have settled on .22/700 mm (and a slug barrel) and am waiting for my supplier to get them in stock. Good luck with your choice Steve and Merry Christmas!

I personally like the Crown! I just can’t get myself to like the pulpup and Crown has pretty much same features in adjustability. I shoot a .22 Crown right now, will buy .25 soon and then if I come across a good deal on an Impact I will buy that too! That is if my wife doesn’t kill me..

[@Bennett_Lab]

I got the crown continuum with picatinny rail. I love it. Comes with two super lite smooth x barrels and I can swap out the short 400mm for the 700mm if I want to in about 1 minute. Just as tunable as impact. Both great guns

[@airriflehunter87]

Jeff Bennett what cal did you get mate ?

[@asmrwithkhloe8459]

Ha, I love it..."Why won't my 75 grain boat tail go 1025 FPS?" gotta love it!! I have the MK2 Impact .30 and the Crown .25 and I will say my Impact is a joy to shoot and amazingly accurate but something about shouldering a classic rifle that I just love so for me it is both. I am in the minority when it comes to slugs...For what I hunt a 44 grain JSB pellet placed in the right spot tends to do just fine....The Crown is mostly a paper puncher and probably did not need to spend the kind of money they cost to kill targets but man I sure enjoy it!! Keep up the good work mate.

[@cnb4110]

I bought both.Got the crown first because it was easier to get then the Impact 6 months later.Both rifles are awesome to shoot.For me the Crown was more accurate out of the box and I still tend to favor it on most days.

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

I got the crown first too, but only cos it was cheaper. I always wanted the impact but couldn't bring myself to spend the money until I'd sold a bunch of other stuff

[@chrisungureanu6184]

I love the crown the trigger is much nicer than the impact my favorite for hunting is the wildcat mk2 slugs work awesome in it. I been having problems keeping the slugs straight in the magazine on the impact they keep flipping sideways with pellets it works fine in .30 cal maybe it works better in .22... you’re right tho the crown is a nice bench gun it’s really long I prefer to use the wildcat or the impact when I walk around

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

The magazine problem is very annoying... i havnt used slugs yet but i've seen the problems on the forums. After installing the K&L rail on my impact it is very nice to shoot one the bench too :)

[@craigmansfield238]

Hi brother, I've got a crown in 177 which here in the UK is great for target shooting at my local club. Never had one as good as this but I must admit it was a hard choice to make between that and the impact. Keep em coming my friend. Good luck and best wishes. Craig. UK sniper.

[@johnnyventurino8947]

I agree with you buddy. These guys are expecting to shoot heavy slugs at speeds over a 1000 feet per second isn't what these PCPs were meant to do. Im happy with shooting 25 cal. Pellets at 860 feet per second, im able to kill pest out to 80 yards all day long with it being silent. If these guys want power like that with slugs they should just go to shooting 22 rim fire guns.

[@NottsPestControl]

Great video and the same conclusion I’ve come to. It’s the tunabiliity and compactness that makes the Impact stand out especially in FAC guise. Love my Crown though!

[@Foxpest]

As to the turret unlocking in use when using dial ranges. I have the same scope type, and it annoyed the hell out of me losing all zero points in one go. Here's the fix, get an 'o' ring slightly smaller than the turret diameter, but with a bit of girth to it. Stretch and it will drop into the gap that exists between the lock ring and turret proper. Without the gap the lock ring cannot unwind, job done!

Seems the impact is more ‘fine’ tuneable according to mr dubber, I asked him on one of his live KZbin q&a. I held an impact in my local gun shop, it felt a bit strange, almost like how is this all that money? I then held the crown, It felt like heaven in my arms 😍. But,,, you’re right about the 700mm barrel on the crown, it looks ridiculous, at least the impact has the 700mm barrel all the way through it which hides most of it. I’m only worried with the impact that there’s more O-rings to go wrong in it, I’m definitely not going to go fiddling around inside one of those. Question now is, which one can shoot slugs better at 100 yards. For me I’d say the impact would win this contest.

[@Suaneslopez]

I had the exact same thing and also for looks i went for the Crown. Who would win the slugs u say al about the tune. I just bought a 600 .22 slugliner and wil make a 600 barrel out of the .25 and.22 kits i have. And will be trying slugs for sure. I love the hold of the crown beautifull and seriously accurate gun imo . I was shooting it in .25 pellets wonderfull voor the 100meter but wanted more so will tryout slug shooting if i can find the same accuracy with those sluga i have a winner 😅👍

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

If I was gunna shoot slugs at 100m I'd go for an impact, more barrel, more power, more speed making it easier. The crown will do it but it's alot easier with a 700mm barrel

[@Suaneslopez]

@@meatheadmarksman2013 i get this but i dont have one. Im thinking of trading in my crown for one but yeah. Dont even own it for 2 months. And there is a 700 barrel for the crown aswell(newer crown) The only reason i would buy an impact is because of the valve stop and a bigger power . Fine tune with the valve stop i sometimes mis Shooting slugs out of a crown is possible and a 600 barrel for .22 is enough to get me arround 910 fps with a 23gr slug. I just dont like the look and feel of the impact sitting behind it at a bench the crown feels normal like a rifle. But yeah even a 600 barrel feels oke but with silencer and or extended shroud yeah is like a fishing rod. Can u imagine the 700 barrel on the continiuum (i have this breech blok) like a long thing. Only reason im gonna try it the slugs at 100m is because we can compete against pellets at 100m with slugs in the same class . Only thing u see is .30 pellets or even bigger . But yeah who knows the mk2 impact is out here aswell and the more technical side of it and more fine tune stuff i really like. Mayby i will go for it

Great video..

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

Great video mate, awesome to see some Aussie airgun content. I'm contemplating a Impact M3 or a Crown for pest control shooting. Have heard the crown is easier to dial down in power to run lighter slugs and not damage infrastructure. AKA run 13g @ 500fps and easily dial the power to a 18gr @ 900fps to shoot further. Do you have an opinion on that having owned both. The new M3 Impact with the marked adjustments looks mighty fine to tune.

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

They're both very easy to adjust mate, the impact is actually better in that respect because you can wind the valve right in. Theoretically you could run a 357 and a .177 on the same tune with an impact but not a crown. Both great guns, both will do what you want but if you can stomach the price tag and you like the looks the impact is a more versatile platform

[@EDGEoftheOUTBACK]

@@meatheadmarksman2013 yeah the cost isn't a factor and I love the compact nature of the impact. Just hard to get good information on the adjustment. Everyone is max power focused but as you know that's not always why an air rifle is best. Really appreciate the reply 👌

If not, might aswell get a nice anschutz rimfire! Or maybe a volquartsen?! Air guns just seem like too much of a hassel! But i have to say the crown in yellow jacket has really stolen my heart!!!

The heavy pellets like speed, 930fps+ so lots of reg and lots of hammer! 140bar minimum. Usually with the crown your looking at 150 to get good speed on the 34gr. Start at max like in the video and work back. They get a little wobbly if you dont run them fast enough

Not usually. that could be 2 things, 1 is rifle cant, if you don't have a bubble level on your scope or rail or you havnt levelled your scope properly in the scope rings it can cause left and right shifts especially on the fx guns cos the scope site very very high over the bore, second thing could be you might need to index your liner.

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

I've never used the lg110, my experience with steyr is limited to the f88, hence my love of bullpups lol I think the lg110 is probably not as versatile as the impact, seems like a much more specialized piece for short range target work, that's just my passing speculation but, I could be very very wrong lol

[@scottdierikx2343]

Ok, thanks mate. That’s what I sort of figured. My interest in pullpups seems to have the same origins as yours. I only asked because my local smallbore & air rifle club has a 10m indoor range as well, which I’d like to have a crack at. It looks like the Impact should go well enough at both this and long range stuff as well. Plus I like the versatility of the impact. Anyway, thanks again 👍

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

All pcp airguns have the potential to leak mate. If it happens with an impact it's usually just a case of tightening up whatever is loose to stop the leak or replacing whichever part has failed like valves or o rings. If you are thinking about getting any pcp airgun you need to be comfortable with fixing leaks

[@catherineharris4746]

Wayyyyyyy overpriced when people have to spend a lot of extra money to get these FX airguns to shoot precisely😞 Nice comparison tho👍👍👍👍

[@nailedpicturesbymanraj9491]

pls update when slugs r available here. i have seen H&N also shipping slugs now

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

I'll keep an eye out, there might actually be some 22 slugs available already

[@tramy29112008]

Please price for a pcp gun that you are recommending

[@kerrylittle3900]

I just bought the Impact a couple of months ago with the Helix scope. I've had to adjust the scope every time I use it. Not sure why but it seems to change. I have had the Streamline for several years with a cheaper FX scope on it and it's always dead nuts and never have to adjust it. There must be something I am doing wrong on the Impact. I was expecting as good or better results from the Impact.

💡FX=An overpriced airgun that you have to invest a ton of money into to get it be precise😂 You can buy 2 AEA airguns for the price that they're charging for one of these airguns and get the same if not better results. AEA has proven themselves to have great accurate airguns at damn great prices!👍👍👍👍👍

[@kerrylittle3900]

@@catherineharris4746 The only research I did was on youtube for the FX Impact. I agree it is overpriced but I thought it would be perfect. The old saying you get what you pay for doesn't seem to apply. After I added a good Helix scope and bi pod and taxes I think I have around $4500.00 invested in this gun and it's not accurate at all. It was back to the shop once to get checked over and the trigger spring was replaced but didn't make much of a difference.

Why cant you get Slugs in your country

You can it's just a pita. Paying for international postage on a small order of lead can suck a fat one haha

Hi mark, How I can get that gun (Crown) to bring to Bali?😁

Where can I purchase this setup?

@Robert Ward get in touch with braces of Bristol they will be able to order you an "fx crown" in the walnut stock www.bracesofbristol.com/guns/air-rifles/?pa_air-rifle-maker=fx

[@synnic6051]

Crown for me. Impact is ugly with it's skeleton frame

[@richardbennett3819]

No suppressors on powder or air guns in Australia, huh?.....You are hereby officially invited to move to the U.S where you can have them on either...Powder guns require the purchase of a tax stamp ($200.00 plus the cost of the suppressor), but for the air guns there's no need for a tax stamp.

Hey! I'm wondering how the Jack Daniels fits into the sighting-in... ::: big smile:::

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

I usually fit a generous amount in on a Friday night so I have a nice water bottle to use the next day when sighting in lol

@@meatheadmarksman2013 I thought maybe you lubed your pellets with it... lol.

It was there strictly for ant control. The ants will get drink, pass out and not bother you anymore

[@varminthunterhobbyist4302]

If you live in America, you don't have to worry about it. FX doesn't appear to be shipping to America anymore. No matter which one you order, you'll wait so long to get it, you will have purchased something else just to have something to shoot. Nothing is that good to wait that damned long for a pellet gun.

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

have you decided on what to get instead? lots of great options now, redwolf, vulcan, maybe a cheaper one like air venturi?

[@varminthunterhobbyist4302]

@@meatheadmarksman2013 Since I ordered the FX Impact in April, so I would have it for the summer, I have purchased a custom Benjamin Marauder, a Daystate Huntsman Regal, and an Air Arms S510 XS. The FX still has not arrived. I do have patience but it has a limit.

[@meatheadmarksman2013]

@@varminthunterhobbyist4302 thats quite the collection! How are you liking the daystate and the air arms?

[@varminthunterhobbyist4302]

@@meatheadmarksman2013 Both the Daystate and the Air Arms are beautiful air guns, and they are very precise, accurate, and a joy to shoot. I have three Marauders in various calibers. They are great utilitarian air guns but too heavy to shoot off-hand, for me anyway. The only reason I ordered that FX Impact was because of that darned Ted Bier of Ted's Holdover.
