So I am wanting to purchase my first pcp and would like to get the opinions of some of the professionals on this site. So I do know I want to buy a 22 cal because I am planning on hunting with this rifle also. I will be taking it to the range and also using it for pest control. Chipmunks , squirrels and ground hogs. I am looking for something very accurate and something that is very quite. I have it narrowed down to three guns and would like to get one ordered because of the long wait. So three I have liked the most while doing my research is the fx crown or continuum for the extra 100 bucks why not get the extra barrel. The fx impact or the Daystate Wolverine. I will say I do not see myself fiddling and tuning this thing like a lot of you guys do, but after I get comfortable you never know I guess. So with those three guns what do you think would be the best quality gun for what I want to do with it? Thank you in advance for you help

99 percent will shoot amazing right out of the box...no fiddling necessary. My pick would be the Continuum extra barrel and the green laminate stock just looks sweet!

I can’t get past the black pepper laminate I have purchased several firearms with the black pepper or gray laminate stocks. So you think that would be the best choice out of the three

I have more than a few, and I can say that I think you would be very happy with the Daystate Wolverine .303. I absolutely love that rifle. My youngest daughter can literally drive tacks into a piece of plywood with it consistently at 50 yards. Farther if the back yard were longer.

Well I know everyone will have there own preference but as far as price these three are pretty much within a few hundred dollars of each other. I love the look of the crown continuum and the Daystate Wolverine. I would rather have the look of a traditional rifle over the bull pup design of the impact. So I am leaning towards the crown continuum or Daystate Wolverine. Both are very nice pieces of eye candy but I am also looking for a gun that’s going to be reliable, accurate and a company that stands behind their product if I do have an issue. As far as accessories I am planning on a tripod and will be more than likely putting a hawk sidewinder scope on it.

DITTO!
Please check the length and weight of the DS Wolverine. The FX Crown Continuum sounds good. However, the FX Impact is lighter and more ergonomic.
I currently own an FX Impact and DS Wolverine. I've owned FX Royales which are comparable in size to the standard Crown. The Impact would be more conducive to carrying when hunting -- I believe.

I’m sorry should have said bipod not sure how that happened lol. I do plan on hunting with it a lot.

If you prefer a traditional rifle the choice is simple. Crown continuum, you have the short barrel for pesting/field work and the longer barrel for bench shooting. You get the best of both worlds with one gun.

I would specifically buy a semi auto such as a Huben or LCS or a cheaper Evanix Cloud or Max Air2 for hunting.

The Impact can do most everything very well, except shoot very low power, which the Crown is lots better at.

I decided to stop waiting for my Crown Continuum and went with .22 cal FX Impact Compact and I think in the long run I will be glad I did. Everyone’s comments above are right, the ergonomics are great and total length using my own measuring tape is 25 inches and weight with the Element Optics Helix scope and rings is around 8lbs 12 oz. And the compact model comes with the 500 mm barrel. The lowest I have been able to set the low power is 18 ft. / lbs, but I have only had the rifle a week and I have a long ways to go to get to know it fully.
