The smile when you first pick up the two guns is priceless.
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.
Very true
Great perspective Matt and as usual edited very well. Got my .22 Crown with the green laminate stock last Saturday. Perched on top the Aztec Emerald.
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 had way too much coffee before I filmed this
AirArmsHuntingSA, haha......
When is your hunting video coming?
Im waiting sir
Your the best Matt take care
Van you do a fx streamline vs a fx crown pls en you are te best 👍🏻
There can never be to much caffeine! Great video Matt! As usual.
AirArmsHuntingSA obviously the 'pup is lighter.
Know anyone interested in a .22 Monsoon, with a fore-grip bi-pod?
I had a beautiful hardwood stock made for it aswell.
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.
👍
So happy to see you again man I just search for your chanel today & found there was no video available but it seems like TH-cam issues now being satl down
That is a brave bird destroying that bench around that many air rifles in such close proximity.
I'm from Indonesia...very impressed with your videos...I really like it, so I always watch every one of your videos about rifles
Great video Matt making some good points on rifle or bullpup I switched to bullpups and will probably never go back to rifle for hunting unless it is open field hunting pup is so much more manageable in the woodlands of my area. Keep the video's coming!
face you shoot very well and with that equipment even better. what a shame that here in the country that I live in Brazil we do not have access to these good gear-our government's charge of absurdity matters to the value arrives ten times but expensive so we are held hostage to our country's manufacturers that manufactures a lot of equipment that is not worth anything and charge a gulf this and our brazil
I had the same issue as you with my Daystate Griffin, beautiful gun but you get scared of scratching it. But after months of waiting I now have an Impact and the Griffin got traded in.
I started shooting pcp with a Gamo gx40,and it was a great rifle,then went on to a hw110,and now also I’ve got the crown mk2 in synthetic vp stock,sak moderator and an atn x sight 4K pro scope,day and night vision so good to go anytime 😎👍😎
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.
Thanks for the detailed discussion about bullpups and rifles. It is really helpful information for those deciding which to buy. Can't wait for the Pategonia videos! Best regards. Jess
Lots of helpful information in this video Matt, I don't own a bullpup but maybe I will consider one in the future. I am looking at the Crown in .25. or .30.
Me too
Matt! first of all, love your work and have became a better shot because of your videos "my Opinion Anyway", From Namibia, i only have a springer as PCP air rifles are hard to come by in Namibia, was wondering when you're going to come over for a Hunt in Namibia, i mean we Basically have the same hunting culture as u guys in SA, only a different environment/climate.
Keep up the good work and more hunting videos please, be it centre fire or air rifle..Great work..
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.
love that little bird! it's SO AWESOME!! Another Awesome Video Matt!!!
I keep thinking... when will I be able to have a rifle, which is like your review, I always think so, but frankly there are no funds to have it..
as a subscriber...I always salute you...joss, carry on boss, I hope you continue to be successful..
Very informative, thanks! Impact for hunting, Crown for target. The Crown barrel has a lot of leverage on the only one point of support/connection.
3:46 "Destructo-Bird" looked awfully interested once a gun was lifted up!
My friend .22 ou .25 wats you prefer?
Good video. I had basically the same sesults as you with the NSA .25 slugs. Waiting for a more specific lines.
great vid. i like your reviews, i just got my first air gun its a benjamin prowler i havent shot it yet, cant wate to upgrade it soon.
Get cleaning pellets (cotton pellets) and some silicone oil (won't detonate). Enjoy!
Definitely an impact 👍. Not as pretty but it can obviously handle more bumps that go with day to day pest control. Would the 600 mm slug liner barrel be ok to use pellets through it? Any loss of accuracy using the slug liner with pellets?
I only able to afford low price SPA/artemis/greyhound, and I choose P15 bullpup instead of M16 rifle simply because I need that small size because I bring it to range with my scooter I put it on the front deck and I need a longer/bigger air capacity which for my case the bullpup one has a lot bigger capacity.
And I also want to try longer barrel like you too, so I ended up with bulpup.
For those who drive cars/truck and have their own portable tank and dont want the longer barrel, I think traditional rifle is more suitable.
Very pretty, the crown particularly. I wish they did a nice laminate stock like that for the independence!
A very nice comparison discussion, Matt. I hope that you might make a video looking at 700mm Smooth Twist-X vs other barrel options for the Impact .25. Cheers!
The smile on yiur face when your talking about the impact.... You love that gun! 👍
Obi-Wan?! Best name ever!!
thats my dogs name......my old dog was Neelix ;-)
Wrong kind of bird though. Should be Obi-Wan Canary.
Wow, this is the earliest I've ever been! Matt, LOVE the channel ! ! ! !
If you ever get a chance, and the weapon, it would be the greatest thing ever to do a hunt with a .38 Super 1911 ! Big love and thanx from TEXAS!
I would argue that the FX Impact isn't very complicated but it does cost a lot
So glad to see you back Matt keep up the exceptional work.
What about for off hand shooting ? Which one would preform better? Maybe you could do a video on shooting both off hand. Just a thought. Great videos and thank you .
Fantastic video again. I am lucky to own the FX Impact and the Wildcat plus the HW100 all sub 12ft/lb and like you I always go to my Impact I just find it an amazing rifle for hunting because I shoot at night and use the Nitesite system I love the impact for being able to add all the toys.
Your video had shown me a lot and I did not think about why a the trigger was so good.
Keep it up mate
Great to see you back online after the purge!
Which of the two is quieter? I assume the Crown with the full shroud. But you seem to have a large moderator on the Impact.
Who says a guy can love his rifle??? I can't say I blame you, these are great looking pieces of engineering, and that's a fact.
Good to have you back mate
Great review and congratulations. I have a question. I’m an ELRI shooter in the US, and am new to air rifles, and just got an RTI Prophet. 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?
Is that your pet parrot on the bench at 03:07?
Your place is picture perfect,,, having an fx and a crown, combined with a very beautiful hunting place,, is heaven already,,
NICE VIDEO"S!!!! I have an question. I'm a hunter, but also want to shoot benchrest. Now I don't know what to do: FX Crown or Dreamline (because what you told about the position of the bipod). What is your advise? (I'm 66 years young)
I liked your video before watching it. I know you always have great videos. Keep it up man👍🏻
Same.
Good video, however the crown having no leaks, kinda a bold statement if seen more than a hand full of reviews of leaking
I shoot a semi-bullpup Brocock Bantam, the best of both and ultimate accuracy to boot, what is there not to like :) good vid Matt and Obi one !
Great video Mat, I have little time in the world of pcp, I have a umarex gauntlet .25 but my dream is to have a beautiful FX rifle. Greetings from El Paso Texas.
The best choice is to fit the Crown x barrel onto to the Impact, then you've got the best of both worlds.
Personally I'd prefer the crown. But that's based mainly on Aesthetics. You should keep the one that's most useful to you for your purposes. And you're the only one that can answer that question. I've heard that the impact requires a significant amount of fiddling to keep it in top operating condition, and that's not the case with the crown. And if that is indeed true or been your experience that I would certainly choose the crown.
The biggest advantage of the impact as I see it is its compactness. I suppose that for a working gun not having a nice wooden stock can also be an advantage. Because I'd be constantly worried about damaging the stock.
Good review Matt!! Two very fine air rifles!! Thanks for showing!!
looking to compare FX wildcat to Benjamin Akela (.22)
All i can say is nice AG and information..
Love your vids..... never miss it, I'll choose FX IMPACT.177 for our region cause of the size and handy handling in the jungle where lots of cane and creepers around in our forest plus i can group my Air Rifle around in 9 to 10 in outdoor shooting field targets 😍😍 for me FX IMPACT IS BAE
Engzat in nge i lei hrim hrim...
Crown hi a nalh bakah ka mit a la khawp mai kei😀
FX in the UK need to pull their finger out, I have been on a waiting list with ASI since August 17 waiting for a Crown....
I want a gift like that for chrismass
ATTENTION PLEASE
I think you are one of the most experienced person in Airguns.
I want to ask you Brocock Airguns.
What do you say about Brocock Airguns?
Are they good and reliable gun?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of Brocock Airguns?
What are the disadvantages of Brocock Bantam as compare to Fx Impact?
Please I'm waiting for your answer.
- From India
I'm leaning towards buying a wildcat compact in .25. I always thought the crown was to long.
Would it be safe to say that the harmonics would be better on the crown but if you tune it for harmonics then the mass advantage is moot?
I notice a lot of the screws and fittings on the impact are starting to rust, have they switched over to stainless parts on newer models?
Very informative video Matt, cheers
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
It is interesting to hear you say that a bullpup rifle doesn't really cut it.
Congrats on number two position, saw that on Giles channel. Wheres your video of event ???
Pleas.What is beter?I need for hunting pigeons..and for hunting..😁Crown or impact m3?And call?177 orr 22?
The bullpup hands down. Lighter, more compact, better balanced and just as accurate!
Magic Expelation Matt as always
Keep it uo Mate 1A
Y si en Crown pongo un barel de 700 mm mejora la precisión??
Hello im thinking of buying a impact 30 cal but im wundering abut the o-rings howe mutch trubel they bring want the impact for its compact and accuracy but don't want trouble with rings every time im gonna youse it. Great channel kep it up :D
NEVER too much coffee!!!!!! Love all f your vids, Matt!!!! Keep up the great work!!!!
I want to varmint hunt and possible coyote hunt with it but can’t decide on either the crown in .25 or .30 or the impact x 700mm in .25 or .30. What would you recommend? Thank you and i love your channel!
I didn't hear you mention the weight comparison. The dealer website i use shows the crown continuum (i own) at 5.85 lbs and the impact mk2 (i want to own) at 6.2 lbs. Not a lot of difference? Yes?
The Impact looks lighter than the Crown so that throws me.
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
Where is your Air Arms?
What do you think of the edgun leshiy or leshiy 2
Have been wondering if you have had the pleasure of using DonnyFl's ldc's and spotted one on the streamline! Once again a great video, thank you sir!
When you decide send me the other one 👍🏻
Lol nice vids wish i i had money for one of those.
Great comparison video, thank you Matt. Custom HUGGET? Is the barrel recessed into the suppresser?
I’d love to hear your thoughts on the daystate red wolf
Well I love my inpact it is an awesome airgun. Thanks for the info as always good video.
My dream.........make the Dreamline with the power of the Impact🥰😄! You would have the power for 200yd. slug hits all day long, and the classic beauty of a laminated Monty Carlo style stock.....yuuummmmmmm!!!
Which barrel length do you like for your impact? 500mm or 600mm?
Hi Matt nice review which of these 2 rifles have less oring problem and leakage problems please tell me
Matt, I think you must put all your knowledge together... and write a complete airgun handbook. Tell me when you do it and send me a signed copy. Your videos are usefull, and easy to understand. and I must tell that I'm a speaking spanish guy.
Time after time , great videos!
In Spain we have a limit power in airrifles of 24 joules. (I write this so that you all can know). More than 24 authorities do not allow.
Thank you, very informative
What is the price for your fx impact multi- cal .77&.22,please can you tell me
Dear Matt if in case we are going to buy this item.How much with complete accesories and freight to the philippines especially in Mindanao. what about license do wd need to produce thank you
Hi Matt. Thanks for your videos. I have a question and I don't have your e-mail or any other way to contact you so here mu question: I have bought a FX crown grs . Cal. 22 600mm barrel. I would like which id the best way to set It Up. Is It BEST low power airflow?(front power adjuster: low, med, hight) and few sprint tensión? Or the other way around? I want to compete in 25m br Air. Heavy or light pellets? Oh and very important: here in Spain the máximum power alowed is 24julios (17,701 FP) thanks. I would really appreciate your opinión. Thanks for allí Matt.
I love your videos. I wish i can have one of that rifles
Matt how many shots can one expect from the crown 30 cal between fill ups
why cant you add a longer barrel to the crown ? they sell 700 mm i thought and barrel liners etcetc
Ask Ted if he would shoot bench with any other gun than the Impact. Hands down the Impact! Ya know which Ted I'm taking about the one that likes the hold over.
Another great vid. Respect and love to SA.
Hi sir i want o buy hubenk1 fo long range how many shot give par fill
What is the price Fx impct
Hi Matt,
How did you get that Huggett mod (think it's the snipe) to sit so far back on the barrel? It doesn't look any longer than the compact WITHOUT a moderator fitted!
Yes Matt. You’re back!!!!
Thanks Matt..... excellent vid!
