FX Crown Launched Today at IWA

Very Interesting.

The new barrels are no longer smooth bore at all very interesting indeed!

I agree that article is great. This rifle definitely has my attention. I'm very interested in the specs, especially: weight, rail size and any other options. Please keep the info following. Thanks. 

It makes no real difference to the working of the rifle but I never like when the adjustable cheek piece is not cut out of the stock and the grain is different than the stock. It only shows up in the walnut since the laminate stocks have so many layers it will always look different.

Looks like a great concept, price point 2k?

Priced at $1,819.00 per AOA website here in the USA

Features seems to besimilar to the Impact.

This looks like a very slick setup.

Typo I am sure: "The stock of the FX Impact is manufactured by Minelli in Italy.

To apply the smooth twist to the whole barrel probably lends itself better to total machine production and lessens / equalizes stresses in the barrel caused by the "ST" process since it is applied equally and simultaneously to the entire barrel rather than the end few inches like the "Old" ST barrels.

The prior smooth twist barrel appears to have to be straightened after the smooth twist process (YouTube Video showed Fredrik processing a barrel). This was costly and time consuming not lending itself well to a speedy production process. I imagine this new process removes a major bottleneck in FX's production line.

IF ... I could one day find myself able to warm up to the looks of a bottle gun ...... I would still not be able to take a rifle with no real trigger guard. I just .... can't.

Can the 2 Crown threads get merged?
