Differences between the Crown and Royale are the Crown has the Smooth Twist X barrel which allows you to eventually change liners for twist rates in the future, also the ability to change calibers with a 500$ USD kit. The Crown has Transfer port, hammer spring and regulator adjustment on the outside via knobs. The Royale has all these adjustments too but requires a bit more work. I can change the reg pressure in about 2 minutes (Royale), once its set its not something you need to change often. The transfer port has more adjustability on the Crown the Royale only has 2 positions, the hammer spring has endless adjustment on the Royale and can be done in 1 minute by removing the stock from action and turning the tensioner in or out. They both have the same power stock and both have the ability to improve that. Where the magazines go in is angled on the Crown so it allows the shooter to use lower scope rings I believe.
Accuracy is negligible I think, I've had several sub MOA groups at 100m and one at .56 MOA with the Royale. The Crown is still very new so with more people getting them maybe the difference will really shine. I think the Royale stocks are nicer (except the green laminate) they got rid of the beautiful rosewood butt piece with FX engraved in it with the Crown. However they did add an adjustable comb and the tilting shoulder piece which the Royale doesn't have.
The Royale ships with the aluminum bottle which is about 1lb heavier than the CF bottle. There might be some things I'm missing but this is off the top of my head.
If you want to get a RAW pm NLlaw he's an East coast guy that has a RAW and can give you advice if you wanted to get one of those.
