Matt, You really made me decide for which of the both FX air rifle I should purchase. Thank you for showing this video in comparison and the diference between both of them. I was indecided which one to buy and after watching your video I purchased the FX Impact with 2 aditional barrel kits. Now I have .22, .25 y .30 caliber and it is perfect for taking to the field. I mostly use my FX Impact for Iguana control here in Puerto Rico using the .25 caliber barrel which is a knock down with head shots, especially at long distance shots. That is what I was looking precision en los tiros. The Crown and the FX Impact are great air rifles, but since I do most of the walk trought trees, vines and heavy brush I got me the FX Impact! I really love my FX Impact! Gracias! Al

Well done Matt i already own the FX Impact and was looking to add another rifle to my collection. Being a fan of FX guns i was leaning towards the Crown. Your videos always answer many of my questions and concerns, and this one has helped with my decision . Thanks from Canada

I love your perspective about guns. You are very detail oriented. I’m new to the pcp world and have learned so much valuable information from you. I have the same taste in guns as you also. I have been doing plenty of researching and learning from many different people and the impact and the crown were my top 2 choices as of now. Thank you for all your very valuable information that you provide. I think I just might have to purchase both guns. Haha. It’s too hard to decide. We only live once.

Matthew, thank you for your insights and great points made on the dilemma addressed. I am leaning toward the Impact in 30 caliber for larger game hunting and well, I just want to have a big bore, highly accurate repeating air gun. I watched your Patagonia series and fell in love with the 700mm equipped Impact you make mention of. My question is about what sort of velocity can I expect with the addition of the longer barrel? Also, I am interested in whether or not the new X barrel will carry the slugs you also reviewed and demonstrated. I was a bit windy there but do not know how else to pick your brain. Thanks much. Bret

I am used to shooting the 7.62, 300 Win Mag and 338 Lapua mag, and for standing shots we generally wrapped the strap with the rifles. Does anyone use straps for shooting stability with air rifles?

If you should happen to read this comment i would love to know what the groups are like on that 177 Crown. i am assuming its running at the standard 18ft/lbs. This is the setup that i am tossing up on, but i am concerned about the possible spiral effect on the pellets. At 18ft/lb do they behave and if so mind me asking what you are using pellet wise. Thanks. Great video by the way.

Mine needs new seals, and frankly i'm shooting more .22lr with my daughters theses days, (i have a few thousand rounds of copper-plated hunting ammunition aswell). I have an Evanix .22 pistol for sale aswell, if you know anyone who might be interested, (it has four cylandars). Beautiful bird. 👍

Bro, i just saw a review made by Ted's hold over between royale and crown and seems like the crown was sort of an upgrade because the new twisted barrel, but still i was looking for this review you just made but you didnt mention anything about that twisted barrel; do you think this could be a major aspect to make a decision about which one to purchase?

I hope that fx builds a impact pcp, or a crown version that has a protected barrel.that shoots 40 grain solids like a 22lr. And 700 mm barrel. Nothing fancy , just single shot 40 grain high power, 700cc pcp bottle. Barrel must be protected against bumps. Price under 1450 euro. Option to order from FX directly. Simple stock.

Matt isn't it easier to shoot a rifle off-hand than it is to shoot a Bullpup? Also you didn't mention the difference in the weight of the two and whether weight is a factor. Secondly what distance/cal was it that won and placed in in the BR competition? Finally did you special tune the Impact to get the 45 fpe or does it come from the factory already tuned to that level? Thanks for the video, very helpful

Hey! Great timing. I'm just about to purchase one of them. I was asking myself for almost 3 weeks now which one should I buy. My preference is Impact but I'm cross eye dominant. I'm right handed but left eye dominant. Also I'm unable to accurately use right eye due to Karatoconus eye condition. I've send email to FX Airguns asking can they assemble for me one for left handed, that is with magazine on its left and coking mechanizm. Unfortunately it was almost 3 weeks ago and they did not respond in kind.
