I have a couple of the previous generation Crowns. They have been fantastic rifles, in fact my little .25 cal 'field/hunter' with syn stock and 380mm barrel is one of my very favorite guns.
I retired out of the Silicon Valley about 10 years ago, and when living in the middle of it I was always of the 'must have the latest and greatest' mindset. But that grows very tiresome (and quite expensive after a bit), and eventually one realizes that it can make a lot more sense to buy older technology during its downward price spiral.
Regardless of what FX, or Daystate, or Hatsan, or Crosman... offer as new and fancy models, my 'old' rifles do everything I need and want them to do. They are by no means obsolete in any sense of the word just because a newer model has been released.
So enjoy your Crown for everything that it is!
