    FX Is Fx Crown a worthwhile upgrade from a Dream Lite?

    I have a Dream Tac and a Mk2 Crown, both in .25. With the Dream Tac, it only has the power to push 25.4g JSBs to 895fps. With the Mk2 Crown, I'm pushing the limit with 33.95 JSB heavies at 890-895fps. The Crown is a great bench rifle at 50 yards, but it doesn't have the power to push heavier...

    FX Dream-Tac compact fits your requirements. I have one in .25, it's a fun gun that's light and handles well.

    The .30 caliber Gauntlet 2 (Full Review)

    I watched your video earlier this morning and I'm sold. Too bad it's on pre-order everywhere.

    Fx removable barrel tuner

    I have one installed on my Mk2 Crown. Once I got it dialed in, I have not had to touch it. I also have not changed the tune on the Crown.

    Question on FX Crown .25 MKII

    I'm shooting JSB Knock Outs and JSB/FX Heavy pellets out of my Crown with the standard Superior liner. Pretty much shots on top of each other at 50 yards. Oddly, point of impact does not change when I switch between the pellets and slugs. I do have the harmonic tuner installed. As mentioned...

    FX Crown Mk2 and Impact M3

    I have a .25 Mk2 Crown with the 600mm barrel in a Saber Tactical chassis and I think it is perfect for bench shooting. I have the harmonic tuner installed and it shoots FX heavy pellets and JSB Knock Outs at 910 fps into a ragged hole at 50 yards. It's easy to tune, you just have to put in the...

    Tuning any tuning tips for the FX Crown MKII with .25 25.39 grain JSB Exact?

    I realize you asked about a starting point for the 25.39 grain JSB Exacts. I have a .25 MkII Crown with the 600mm barrel in a Saber Tactical chassis. It is tuned for shooting the 34 grain JSB and FX heavies at 910. My regulator is set at 150 bar, hammer spring is pretty much maxed out. I...

    Tuning FX Integrated Harmonic Barrel Tuner is it worth it??

    It's effectiveness depends on what you're shooting. I'm shooting FX and JSB heavy pellets (.25 cal) in one ragged hole and 50 yards without it and the tuner didn't make any improvements in accuracy (when it's position is optimized) but it did move point of impact. My groups with JSB Knock Outs...

    AirForce Talon vs. Condor?

    I was debating the same question and decided on the Condor. You can always tune the Condor down to the same energy level of the Talon but not the other way around. If you get the Condor, make sure to get the Ring-loc valve kit. The non-SS airguns are not quiet, I was surprised when I took it...

    Tuning FX Dream Tac Compact low on power

    Based on your last pic, it looks like you're shooting 26.4gr Hades. What velocities are you trying to achieve? My stock Dream-Tac compact in .25 shoots the Hades at a consistent 833 fps. Which port are you using on the barrel? Have you checked the barrel o-ring? I don't think those power...

    Tuning Airforce Condor with regulator shooting slugs.

    Mercado, thanks for all the great information and advice. I just bought the Condor and it has the Ring-Loc valve. My first shot string was with the bottle filled at 2800psi, power wheel set at 4, shooting .25 JSB Exact 25.4gr. Average fps was 1068 over a 17 shot string. I'd like to get it...

    Tuning Airforce Condor with regulator shooting slugs.

    The V3 regulator and 350cc bottle was what I was planning to get. Did you upgrade the valve or hammer?

    Tuning Airforce Condor with regulator shooting slugs.

    mercado, thanks for the information. I knew what I was getting into with the Condor but I didn't expect it to be as bad as my first experience shooting it. It did seem to shoot JSB 25.4gr pretty well at 50 yards. I need to try the NSA 33.5gr slugs I have to see how it does. I'll get it...

    Tuning Airforce Condor with regulator shooting slugs.

    Good information. I just bought a Condor .25 (my first PCP) and finally got it to the range on Sunday. Bottle filled to 2800 psi, power wheel set to 4, first shot was with a JSB Exact King 25.4gr, velocity was 1080. Shots were all over the place, tried 4 different pellets, Nielsen and FX...
