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.

Finally a TH-cam host who is not afraid to burp on camera!!
If thats what you got from this video... We are gunna be friends lol
@@meatheadmarksman2013 Oh dear 🤣
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
@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!
Enjoy all your videos. Hope it cools off there. Love my Impact 30 cal. Cheers from sunny Florida.
It's nice after the sun knocks off for the night!
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.
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
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.
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..
Thanks for your effort here, your hard work and experiance shows through!
Enjoyed the video mate. You sound like a good Aussie bloke with the burp lol.🇦🇺
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
Jeff Bennett what cal did you get mate ?
I have the mk2 impact in 25 cal with powerplenum. Shot a hare from 218 yards with jsb 34 gains mk2. With slugs +300 yards
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!
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.
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
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 :)
FX IMPACT MKII for me....glad I waited as long as I did...I got it 3 days ago and in my view it was worth every penny......
Your gunna love it! Until it breaks... and then after it's fixed you'll love it again lol
@@meatheadmarksman2013 MKll until it breaks is that issue common and is it worth it? I was thinking about purchasing..
@@smashingintexas765 it's definatly worth it, I love mine. If you get one from the new shipment it should already have all the upgraded parts from the previous problems. Even if it's not from the latest shipment it's nothing that can't be fixed on the spot with an o ring or some locktite, they are not fx specific problems rather just pcp airgun problems. They are very easy to work on and I've only had good experiences with the warranty. I say go for it
How much Fx impact mk11 and Fx crown?
Seems the impact is more ‘fine’ tuneable according to mr dubber, I asked him on one of his live TH-cam 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.
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 😅👍
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
@@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
Finally, you got your impact back!!. good stuff!!.
Im very excited to have it back! I plan on using it as much as possible
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!
I like your reviews I just bought traded my crown in on an FX Impact and trying to set it up much like yours
I loved my crown but I love my impact alot more! i rekon youll be very happy with it once youve got it all set up
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.
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
@@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 👌
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.
I own 2 wildcats, an impact and a boss. They are all equally accurate. The best bang for your buck in my opinion is the wildcat MK3 sniper. After market power plenum's are available. Barrels are interchangeable and they can shoot slugs very well. BTW my sniper is .25cal with 2inch pp and shoots the 34gr JSBs @1000fps and is capable of sub moa groups at 100yards. That was some impressive shooting in the seated position with your impact.
Would an Fx Crown with a 500mm superior be able to shoot .22 hybrids or knockouts under an inch or an inch and a half at 100 yards? Or do you need to have a 700mm barrel? 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!!! These air rifles are becoming really advanced and are well made, especially the triggers and the smooth action, very impressive and tempting!
Great video Friend.. I'm going to get my order in soon.. .25, 600mm and I'm good.
What’s the safest way to depressurize an Impact , After taking off the bottle should I just dry fire it or do something else . Keep the videos coming !
I have verminator 2 extreme for 5 years, yeah, a big confusion to chose impact or crown, but finally, .... i bought cricket las month 😆
Hahaha the heart wants what the heart want lol

Hi there, good to see a fellow Aussie on here. If I can't warrant the price of a Impact but might be able to stretch to the Crown would this be a good choice? I currently have a AirArms S510 but like the idea of accurate velocity changes offered by the FX's.
The crown is a good choice mate, the dreamline is also a good option as it has traditional and tactical options now so you can have something that looks more like the impact if you prefer that. The crown is capable of a liiiiiiitle bit more then the dreamline tho so that's worth considering
I bought a Daisy Red Ryder and installed a 700 mm, barrel. Iam shooting bb's 3,ooo fps.
I bet only the red bb's do 3k... they're always faster the yellow ones lol
@@meatheadmarksman2013 Just found your channel. Liked and subscribed. God bless you brother.
@@heithwatkins thanks mate much appreciated!
Get yourself a cotton web sling US military issue circa 1970 . This will really help with offhand and sitting shots .
I usually use a sling on my cz rimfire in that same manner, works a treat! Havnt bothered on the impact yet because more of my shooting has been off the bipod so far
With your impact on low power and say 25yard zero (I say 25 only for the next bit to show up) as you turn the power up have you noticed the pellet going right and of course higher. But it’s more the poi I was wondering about? ATVB 👍🇬🇧
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. I personally havnt noticed any left or right shift from changing the pellet speed
Meathead Marksman: thanks for your swift reply, I have a look into it more.👍🇬🇧
You make fringing awesome content.
Cheers mate! Thanks for watching
I want to buy lmpact mp 3. I want to know the price.
I told you a few videos back when you got your impact, Welcome to the impact world...now you are selling your crown! jaja The impact is an amazing platform. And I agree, stock Impact manage slugs ok in 0.22 cal, over 40 gn slugs (any cal) not so good, modifications are needed. (But with some, SilverSurfer shoots 70gn slugs .30 cal @ 950 fps with no troubles!, silverSurfer is my Mk2 highly mod impact) ;)
Sounds like a beast of a gun! What brand of slug is the 70gr?
@@meatheadmarksman2013 I make those, for stress test, accuracy suck tho, NSA 66gn and VK 62 gn are great in .30 Those are hog killers, I got a video on my instagram with it
Which stock is much better between FX Impact MK2 and FX Impact Power Plenum PCP? And which one is more powerful for long range Hill Hunting in India
the impact has way more tuning potential . That will be a huge benefit with heavier slugs .
Hi mate. Ive got a slug liner in .22 for my impact arriving in a few weeks. Need to compsre notes when it atrives.

Hi, I am in kind of the same position. The FX crown marked two fields better in my hands as compared to the FX Impact, but because I am interested in energy penetration at long distances, I am leaning towards the impact because of 25 caliber it has 90 FPE as compared to 60 FPE on the FX crown. Someone told me To purchase the crown 30 caliber which might be a good option, but I’m not sure how many shots you’ll get as compared to the impact. What’s your opinion?
I love the impact so much but I can't find it in my country
Tengo una pregunta por si me puedes ayudar.
¿Conoces alguna forma de vaciar de aire la botella de la FX Crown sin que sea a base de disparos?
Gracias.
How much FX IMPACT MK2 PCP will cost in Indian Rupees and which authorized and sincere Dealership available in India for purchasing the same.
Now that the Continuum is out would you still recommend shooting slugs from the continuum in .22 cal?
Yes i rekon the continuum with the 700mm barrel would be sweet for slugs, especially the lighter ones. Superior liner ftw
You Should buy Uragan this is the answer of your video title
Just a heads up my friend those pellets and the regular Mark ones shoot better in the slug barrel. I’m getting half inch groups at 50 m
Nice! I'm planning on doing a video about that very topic soon
Good video, what is your favorite pellet to use in the fxcrown ? I have one in 6.35 and a need a good pellet to it.
thanks
I agree .22 slugs. FX Impact. Good shot count great distance. My longest shot on a squirrel to date is 175 yrds first shot hit. Yeehaa.
I believe it bro..so I bought your impact. 😁😁
I think it's something with the Crocs . every time I wear my Crocs I get zapped by static electricity. Not to say that you don't when it is blazing hot out side. Enjoyed the video man just found your channel and subbed👍👍
thats weird... i would have thaught they would insulate you from that... maybe yours are plastic and not rubber?
Yeah that's what I was thinking. Mine are like a foam type material. Mainly when I'm around carpet mostly.
Got mk1 Crown and M3 Impact and although both are very good impact is more versatile and allows you to have more accessories, on the other hand Crown is more simpler.
Good video, by the way...the insect was a Mantis religiosa.
As soon as you say that you are selling the Crown your verdict is out. I have both and favour the impact, not sure I can part with my Crown though, I just like to hold it .....
Each to their own I say! I obviously prefer the impact but the crown is great too. To have loved and lost! Haha
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!👍👍👍👍👍
@@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.
hey just wondering what the impact is like to shoot left handed. does the magazine get in the way?
That is a good question, I'll have to try it out. I'm pretty sure it's fine, I feel like the bloke who makes them is a lefty
I am a lefty, have both Crown and Impact, no issue at all, even with the larger sideshot mag. Add a nice ambi or lefty cheek rest on the impact for comfort but it is fine without. Lots of options for cheek rests now.
Hi Uncle Hodge, happy new year 🥳. Question for you and advice. I know you have already sold your Crown but I would like some guidance on power, reg pressure and hammer tension. Currently in 25 cal it’s putting out 880 ft per sec, 46 ft/lbs with 26.4g JSB, Reg 130 bar and I am getting around 80 shots per full fill.
I want to try the heavy JSB mk2 heavy 33. something! I have watched you tuning videos so know how to do it but what numbers should I be looking for a start off. I know all guns are different even the Crowns vary so it’s not an exact science. I think your channel is great you are very entertaining and knowledgeable. Don’t worry I will not blame you if things don’t go right. Thanks. 👍🇬🇧
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
Thanks Uncle Hodge I will give it a go, appreciate the reply 👍
Please price for a pcp gun that you are recommending
I bought both 😂
Probably the best possible choice is both lol

pls update when slugs r available here. i have seen H&N also shipping slugs now
I'll keep an eye out, there might actually be some 22 slugs available already
Used em both but I'll stick with my Crown in fac, never actually liked the skeleton framed rifles...
good vid!! and glad ta see ya drink good whiskey!!!
Is it true that fx impact have a problem of air leakage?.
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
hi mate
how would i go with the impact being i am a left hand shooter
ive heard of a few leftys shooting impacts with no dramas, i think you just have to get used to the magazine location
I like ur Jim beam my favourite burbon
Do you have trouble with the pellets bouncing off those tires?
On lower power settings it is a problem, on high it catches them. All in all, not a good idea lol

Meathead Marksman holly shit! Keep safe mate!
Meathead Marksman I've got the .25 cal crown / a Vortex tactical scope with the 600 mm slug liner and have found the 34 gn or lighter slugs work pretty good at 950 fps (huma reg).
@@Lorwildrose I like vortex, they make cool stuff. Did you upgrade the hammer aswell or just the reg?
Meathead Marksman I maxed out the hammer Spring also reg set to ~155 bar. I should add the 950 was with 31 gn slugs, 34 was at about 890fps with the same setting.
What pests are you targeting?
Mostly cane toads. But also rabbits and foxes, rats etc etc when the oppertunity presents
Live next to the FX dealer.
Is it still for sale ?
Nope, it's gone. I miss it... So much walnut and so little time...
Good stuff ....👍🏻👍🏻
What happened your group spread so much.... On FX CROWN ❓My FX CROWN CONTINUUM.177 caliber much tighter group than that
Brilliant and timely review. I’m grappling with exactly this decision whilst waiting for my gun licence to arrive. Thanks heaps 🍻
Out of curiosity, how do you reckon the Impact might stack up against say the Styer LG110? 🤔
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
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 👍
Great vid
You're awesome bro
Kricket,
It's a no brainer
Since the FX Impact came out years ago the looks kept me from buying it , with the new technical improvements and so many flexible options I made the plunge and purchased the MKII , now that I have had a chance with her and a little foreplay I think she is beautiful ! 😁
Love to have it but....
Fx impact
Hi bro... How can i know if I have slug liner or not in my impact
Measure the twist rate, if it's faster then 1:30 It's probably your slug liner, However The impact comes standard with pellet liner a so unless you specified that you wanted a slug liner in there when you bought it it will probably be pellet liner a
@@meatheadmarksman2013 ok how can I measure the twist rate , is there a way or tool to use it?
@@who0who I'd just wrap some masking tape around the end of your liner and use a marker pen to make a mark where any one of the rifling imprints starts, then use a ruler or measuring tape to measure how long it takes to do one full turn around the barrel. Twist rates are written as something like "1:30 rh" which means 1 twist in 30inches of barrel, the rh is right hand spin. If your liner is shorter then 30 in just measure 15in and double it
@@meatheadmarksman2013 thanks bro... You are very kind
I like impact...😁
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.
have you decided on what to get instead? lots of great options now, redwolf, vulcan, maybe a cheaper one like air venturi?
@@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.

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.
