    FX Learning to tune new Crown MK2

    Sounds like you hit on a really good tune. What velocity were you getting and at what range was the target? The best source for how to tune a Crown when you are trying new pellet weights or calibers is a video by Sub12Airgunners (I will attach below). While Geoff is tuning a Sub12 ft-lb...

    FX FX King 177

    Mark, I bought a King in .22 with a 500mm barrel early this year. I could never get it to shoot .22 pellets worth a darn. It shot the FX Hybrids really well (at about 1050 fps, also the Zan heavier .22 slugs). To get it to shoot the 18.1 JSB pellets I put in a lighter hammer weight and...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Hi Guys, Shot this card the other day but just now getting to posting it. A 199-12X with the good ole FX Crown Mk II Green Mountain. Just 1 shot better than my best this year, but I will take it. Might have to try tomorrow to match Ed's run with his Daystar:)! Cheers, Greg Leaderboard...

    FX Crown MK2 177cal barrel kit

    I have been very successful in Hunter Class Field Target shooting a Crown Mk II with a 500mm .177 Superlight Barrel. I would be much more successful if I could ever learn to shoot offhand. It is certainly not the rifle that is keeping me off the podium🙄. Cheers, Greg

    FX fx crown .22 500mm normal reg pressure

    Hi, My Crown Mk II with a 500mm .22 barrel shoots the 18.1 gr pellets great! My settings for an Ave MV of 868 fps with 2.3 SD and 8 ES are: - Reg pressure to 117 bar - Internal Hammer Spring (IHS) adjuster sticking out of the carrier by 4 mm - Transfer Port Wheel to Medium - Power Wheel to 15...

    Optisan CP 4-16x40 FFP for HFT

    Hi, Just my 2 cents, but I think you will be disappointed with a 16x scope. Not sure where you will be shooting HFT but my experience (as a relatively newbie compared to many on this forum) that many matches are shot in heavily treed areas - meaning lots of dark shadows. Most scopes tend to...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Hi Guys! It has been a while since I shot any Challenge cards as I have been concentrating on Field Target. I have done pretty well there this year (and I say shooting these targets has helped me), but my wind calls need work. So today is kind of blustery with 6-8 mph winds with gusts to...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Tommy, Sorry for the confusion. As Smok3y said the case was for "Match Grade" 8.4 gr pellets. I just liked the case and the fit with the 13.4gr was good once I glued a piece of foam into the top (to better hold the longer skirts). By the way, I tested the "Match Grade" 8.4 gr pellets...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Tommy, For what it is worth I did a lot of testing comparing the "trash cans" to the RD's and found the "trash cans" consistently more accurate in my Crowns. That said, I would get occasional flyers with both. I don't sort or weigh the pellets, but as you do I separate out any obviously...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Ed, Sorry about Hoover. I always think of it as the end of an era when a great dog passes. They are joy and love machines who make our lives better. Congrats to both Becky and you! She must be a good sport to put up with you and all of your "big boy" toys! Cheers, Greg

    FX PCP Airgun Tuning - Why would the FPS go down when increasing the Hammer Spring at a constant reg pressure.

    Hi SOTL, As a few others have stated the hammer spring tension and reg pressure is a balancing act. If you start with a low reg pressure and a middle hammer string tension the hammer with overdrive the valve and you will have a large valve opening and a high dwell time. That combination...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Hi Guys, I haven't posted in a while as I have not been shooting as much as usual. Lots of company including kids and grand kids. Which is good of course! The only drawback is both daughters-in-law are adamant anti-gun (and don't know what an air-rifle is). So to keep the peace my wife...

    FX Flexibility of a Crown Gen 2 barrel.

    Hi Again, I was just doing some more thinking about your issue. You said you just got the rifle back from Utah Air after some work. Based on your symptoms I think you have something that was not properly tightened by the techs. Have you checked the four barrel set screws? If they are not...

    FX Flexibility of a Crown Gen 2 barrel.

    Hi Guys! Just my two cents - Most of the really fine shooting air rifles have a "floating barrel". Look at the Steyr, Thomas, Walther, Air Arms, etc. and you will find those barrels with the only attachment at the breach block. I believe that this "cantilever beam" model gives a very low...
