hello guys im alvaro lopez from sun city airguns
im very happy again with a new stuff form the Swedish house of airguns FX airguns
i have here the FX CROWN 25 cal in laminate stock
lets go and see some pics and we come back
here it is the FX CROWN 25 cal this one in a laminate stock
this stock is really beautiful with a very nice finish to the gun
so whats so special about this airgun?
compared with another PCP airgun
this is a question a lot of guys ask me this last days
for a start this is a brand new design coming from CERO
it has some of the best features of the FX IMPATC but the design was brand new
and to confirm this, the Crown has a new design barrel; the smooth twist x
it is a totally new barrel very different form the smooth twist available in all other fx airguns
yesterday I did some groups as soon I receive the gun, I zeroed my scope
and I just did 5 shots to zeroed my scope
after that I made a awesome 5 shots group, you can see here on screen
it was a 55 yds group
and I did the shoots with jsb kings heavy MKII 34g
this is a very nice pellet for long range shooting, its very a stable
and the new barrel STX worked pretty good, very nice performance
and talking about the Smooth twist x barrel
let me tell you that this gun is also an interchangeable barrel for different calibers
yes thats right you here right
like the fx impact you can buy all 4 different caliber kit for this gun
4.5, 5.5, 6.35 and 30 cal
the difference is that the caliber kits for this gun is very nice, very affordable
the convertion caliber kit it will be about $160 dlls i understand in US and consist in the barrel and the magazine
the impact one I think is near $500 dlls
whys the difference in price? it is a cheap material barrel?
is not that, the magazine is the same as the impact
the difference is that on the impact the barrel comes with all the shroud ready to instal, like you see here, I comes everything ready
here in this gun the only thing you will change is the inside barrel, just the rifled barrel. the shroud stays on the gun always
it is a very thin barrel but is very well made and fx airguns manage very good the harmonics and vibrations issues
so the covert ion kit is very affordable and thats happiness for us the air gunners
the gun has a 480cc fiber carbon bottle that we will fill to 250 bar of pressure
the gun comes shrouded and it has a telescopic shroud that we can extend
this feature will help us to have a very low noise gun, if we retract the shroud the gun will be louder
the guns length is 47 in. with the shroud extended
with the shroud retract the gun measures 43.5 in.
a very light weight gun, very nice to handle
it is a very comfortable gun
the handgrip is very smooth to hands and the thumbhole is perfect
it has adjustable cheek piece and adjustable buttpad too
if you can see here you will notice that the gun comes with the same side lever action that fx uses in other rifles
an acton system that I always liked
a very smooth and easy to cock system
I comes with a big magazine same as the impact, a 16 pellet magazine for this 25 cal
very nice, we can shoot a lot with out load pellets very often
I like because you don't have to load pellets every 8 shoots like other airguns
the safety is over here, it is a AR type safety like the impact
on this side we have the power wheels
it has the same power wheel like the impact
and what this power wheel does is to adjust a spring to increase or decrease power
and the front wheel is also a power wheel that it will help us to make faster power settings, increase and decrease power too
and this front wheel what it does is that cuts the airflow so we can do faster power adjustments if we want
on the bottom of the gun is the dual gauge
one for the regulator and one for the tank pressure
it has regulator adjustment
heres a tiny hole, its hard to see but inside it is a with a Allen shape nut to adjust the regulator settings
150 bar max pressure is what factory recommend
the filling port very easy to get
so it is a very nice gun
its regulated like you notice
and it will shoot a lot of pellets with a very nice consistency with one charge of air
I love it
i install an AZTEC scope 5.5-25x50
very nice scope, special for this gun
it is a very good quality scope for the price. I really recommend this scope, it has very nice turrets
the gun weights 2.6 kilos with out the scope
and it is a very light weight gun
lets go to do the tests
precision and crony tests
lets go to the yard
i will shoot only 75 yds to do a short review
to shoot 50 yds its no very exiting for me with this gun anymore
so lets go to 75yds and lets see how the gun performs with the jsb king heavy MKII 34g
this is there only pellet I will use, is the one I like for long range shooting
lets go to do the speed test later and we will come with the final comments
well guys im ready to start my precision and speed tests, with my gun sighted in
the weather allow me to do the tests for a while
we still 40 c degrees with a 60% of humidity VERY HOT
i have my target over there at 75 yds
ill shot jsb kings heavy MKII 34g pellet
lets go and see what the FX CROWN does
lets see the group
lets shot off the camera
heres the group
I put 5 shots here
lets take the measurement
it looks excellent
center to center of the shots
it is about a half inch
I can cover the group with my thumb
very nice
so there it is
this is what the fx crown 25 does at 75 yds with jsb kings heavy mkll 34g
lets go to do the crony test to show you numbers and we continue with the final comments
when I thought that fx was reach his top after the development of the impact
i was wrong
like fx owner Fred axelson told me once when I asked, whats next after the impact?
I thought this was the limit of fx
he answers me: more big things coming soon very nice stuff
now I think that the crown was in his mind in that moment
I love this gun
a very nice gun with a lot of good things
very accurate, very nice power
and we can take more power adjusting the regulator
this one is on 125 bar
and I can set up up to 150 bar
but for this test this settings are working good for me to do nice groups
but if you want to hunt you can increase the regulator pressure and you will get lots of power
a beautiful gun
very functional
very accurate
with a very nice shot count
very consistent shots
i don't know what more to ask
I very happy that the fx crown is already for sale
and im very happy because this one is mine
and im enjoying the gun like I didn't enjoy a gun for a long time
I hope you enjoy this review
same as I enjoy doing it
ill keep doing videos with more tests
long range shooting videos
ill do next week a long range shooting with the explosive golf balls from airgun depot
ill use with this gun for this test shooting 150 and 200 yds
lets see I I hit the ball
im alvaro lopez see you soon in another chapter of sun city airguns
