The FX Crown MKII: Power and Precision Reimagined
The FX Impact M4, FX Leopard, and FX Crown MKII are high-performance air rifles that represent the cutting edge of airgun technology. The Impact M4 is an evolution of a classic, enhancing a versatile platform with a new Quick Set Trigger, increased rigidity, and a stronger AMP regulator. The FX Leopard is a tactical bullpup available in both bottle and tube versions, designed for a balance of precision, power, and maneuverability. It features a new integrated plenum and a Quick Tune System for easy adjustments. The FX Crown MKII takes a traditional sporter rifle and supercharges it with a larger plenum, a bigger valve for more power, and a 20 MOA scope rail for long-range shooting, while also offering new stock options like the GRS stock and a Saber Tactical chassis. Each rifle builds on FX’s reputation for innovation and quality, providing specialized features to meet the demands of different shooting disciplines.
Regardless of the rifle you choose, safety is paramount. The fundamental rules of air rifle safety include treating every gun as if it’s loaded, always pointing the muzzle in a safe direction, and being sure of your target and what lies beyond it. It is also crucial to keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot and to wear appropriate safety gear such as eye and hearing protection. Following these guidelines, along with proper storage and adherence to range rules, ensures a safe and responsible experience for all shooters.
The FX Crown has long been considered one of the finest air rifles available. With the FX Crown MKII, FX Airguns has pushed the platform even further, delivering more power and capability in a traditional rifle design. This evolution comes from a direct demand from shooters worldwide who want more airflow and power.
Enhanced Power and Performance
The increased power in the MKII is a result of several key upgrades working in concert. The plenum, the chamber of compressed air located before the transfer port, has been increased by a significant 28% over the previous model. This larger plenum works in tandem with a new, larger 6.5mm valve and optimized porting, producing spectacular results in terms of power and efficiency.
Designed for Long-Range Accuracy
With airgun shooters pushing for longer distances, the FX Crown MKII has been designed to meet that challenge. The rifle now features a 20 MOA angle built directly into the Picatinny scope rail. This slight downward cant allows for more usable elevation adjustment in your scope, giving you the ability to shoot accurately at much longer ranges.
Versatile Stock Options
The Crown MKII offers new and exciting stock options to suit every shooter’s preference:
- GRS Stock: FX has partnered with famed Norwegian rifle stock maker GRS to create the first-ever GRS stock for an airgun. This highly adjustable, ergonomic laminated stock features tool-less adjustments, a wide fore-end, and an angled GRS grip for superior comfort and control.
- Saber Tactical Chassis: For those who prefer a more tactical setup, the Crown MKII is also offered as a stripped-down Base model. This is the perfect option for pairing with the popular Saber Tactical Crown Chassis, which includes an extended Arca Swiss rail, a foldable stock, and other features ideal for bench shooters.
The Crown’s Core Features
The MKII retains all the features that made the original Crown so popular, including the externally adjustable AMP regulator, a hammer power adjuster, an air flow power adjuster, and the ability to change calibers and twist rates using the Superlight Smooth Twist X (STX) barrel and liner system. With the highest capacity magazine in its class, the FX Crown MKII solidifies its position as the most versatile and robust sporter stock PCP air rifle on the market.
