My FX Crown is awesome!

Sorry for double post .

Goldwing, 

Would you mind sharing your tune for shooting the 34.95 job's at 910?

Those are great smack-down numbers for ground squirrels. 

Thanks,

Mike

Your blue lam Crown looks great. Keep it, looks like you have a big bottle on it to increase shot count. I bet she's a smoker!

Yes, big bottle and of course the K&L buttstock and DFL Sumo. It shot the 18.1's pellet on pellet when I function tested it at my short (25 yd) range. Going to de-list it.

K&L buttstock is inferior compared to the Saber monopod because the K&L buttstock adjustment is not as fine, with the Saber's coarse worm screw adjustment it will give you much more precise adjustment over the K&L buttstock clunky knob and pole adjustment

Very cool, thanks for the info.

My current .25 600mm barrel, 57 yards, wind right to left, 25.39 gr kings 5 shot group 1 upper right, remaining 4 to the left. Reg 139ish, tfp medium , power wheel 17. Internal prelod max 1/4 backout.

In my last post I showed a group shot a 57 yards with my .25 Crown mk2.

My intent was not to brag, "even a blind squirrel can find a nut once in awhile ", but to show the potential of the Crown platform. 

I forgot to say those 25.39 Kings are flying at 895 fps.

FX Crown is really a great gun , for sure . I must say that mine has some POI shifting problems . I' thinking to tension the barrel the same way Ernest Rowe did. 

But now I'm wondering if using a 380mm barrel instead of 500mm would fix this problem as well , without lost of accuracy.

If it does according to Ernst, the barrel sleeves won't work. I emailed him to ask for specific sleeve installation for the CMK2. He responded within hours, hats off to you Ernest!

I'm guess because the sleeve is slightly larger than the supper lite barrel. I tried one on my 600mm barrel and it slid right out , not even close to snug. No change in the grouping maybe a tad worst. I'm am planning on wrapping Teflon tape around the barrel in 3 locations corresponding to where I'm putting oring spacers. Time will tell When do you notice the poi shift? Have you tried a different scope? So stats and photos would be helpful.

Bought a Continuum .22 in a laminate stock last fall. Haven't really shot it much so I have it listed in the Classifieds. Maybe I should keep it.

Would love to get my hands on this stock! Trying to decide on a continuum but do NOT like the GRS stocks they are pushing currently.

 

[MEC17670]

I'd keep it. Nice clean looks!
Who makes that shoulder butt plate I see?
