Looking for a long distance, hard hitting air rifle for pesting . Birds mainly. Pellets instead of slugs. Which rifle would be better, FX Crown MKII or the FX Wildcat MKIII?
FX Crown Mk2 or FX Wildcat Mk3 Long Distance

Go with the one you can afford and comfortable shooting (classic vs bullpup). They are equally accurate and hard hitting for most birds outside of Emus and ostrich.

I have both, the Crown (Continuum) in .22 and the Wildcat MKIII in .25. From a bench or fixed position, the Crown with the 380mm barrel. In the field, carrying and stalking, the Wildcat.

I have a Crown and a M3 when it comes to 150 yard shots (which is not something I've had a chance to do a lot) I have gone with my m3. I have had an mk 2 in the past but I highly prefer the m3.

Some of my friends aren’t comfortable with a bullpup and shoot a rifle much better, especially offhand.

I’ve considered getting an M3 Impact but I’m new to smaller rifles. I’ve only used Big Bores. The M3 Impact a little complicated to me.

If you want a bottle gun that is as simple as the Wildcat MKIII with the power of the Impact, consider the Maverick.

Thats how I am. You can force a bullpup to shoot well. The traditional rifle just wants to shoot well all on its own. Both extremely capable. The shorter one will be easier to carry.

i had a wildcat mk2 .30, and it was very accurate taking crows out to 75-80yrds
i have 2- mk2 crowns now in .22, one with the 380mm barrel for stalk hunting and the other with the 600mm barrel i have setup for long range birds.
the crown is a very comfortable gun to shoot free hand or from the tripod.

Also considering the crown. Seems like it has less problems than the rest. Think it’s coming down to the Maverick and Crown.
