Anyone have any experience with the FX Royale 300 in .25 cal? It looks like a cross between the Royale 500 and the Bobcat (uses air tube instead of bottle).

Where did you find this gem? It appears to have a full length shroud which should make it very quiet."deroosea"Anyone have any experience with the FX Royale 300 in .25 cal? It looks like a cross between the Royale 500 and the Bobcat (uses air tube instead of bottle).

It's on the FX website and my local dealer is getting them in a couple of weeks (and maybe me too ☺).

Hello.
if i knew how.. i would show you a picture of a gun we made here some month ago. It was a clone of a independence and bobcat. Both 25. I shoot it some time. But we put the two originals back together again. It was the old steeltube. But still even with the new aluminium tubes.. i think i would prefer the shorter airtube. No matter the caliber. And then make shure to get it regulatet. I havent tjeket it. Dont know if its possible. But thats my thouts. Nice handeling model. Im shure its nice. I accually sent the picture to fx. Fun to se the idea was already there. It looks the same.

Headquarters are in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, but they're mainly an online dealer (I go into the shop since I'm only 15 min away.)
I'm sure AoA can get them as well.

I have an FX Royale 200 and this looks exactly like that only with a 400 cc tube (300 in .22) instead of a 200cc in the model I have. The FX web site says it will give 50 shots per fill as opposed to the 40 shots per fill for the 200cc model. This should improve shot consistency some. What I would like to know is how the Royale 300 in .25 with the 400cc air tube stacks up against the Royale 500.

That's exactly what I was wondering (how it stacks up against the 500). It sounds like it is equivalent but a little less air capacity (same mechanics).

The royale 200/300 has a 500mm barrel and the royale 500 has a 600mm barrel. Total length for the 200/300 is 43.5 inches and for the 500, it's 48 inches. So, I imagine the 500 would be a bit more accurate with that longer barrel.

Probably true, but the Bobcat would be even shorter and they're still pretty accurate (based on various reviews.) I'm thinking the accuracy difference would be minimal (if measurable at all). I also think the shorter overall length would be better for portability (hence my original comment about our being a hybrid of the 500 Royale and the Bobcat.)

The Bobcat in .25 has a 600mm barrel! Hard to believe looking at it. Yes. the 43.5 inches 200/300 is much easier to carry around. Only about 6.5 lbs. I can one hand it easily. I'm hoping the Royale 300 is nearly as accurate as the 500 as I'm not a big fan of bottle guns, but I have to know how it stacks up! If you get one, be sure to let us all know how it shoots.

We're on the same wavelength. I'm not a fan of bottle guns either, but obviously I don't want to give up any noticeable accuracy.

The info on the webside is mixed but 50cm barrel is for 22 and 60cm is for 25 & 30 cal. Unless you buy verminator with 30cm 22 barrel.. there is no difference its all the same. Just different style. I still think this model would be better handeling with a short tube and a regulator. I guess it could do 40 plus shoots in 25 . But please keep reading the info wrong. i like this gun. A shame it got confusing info. It shoots exatly as good as royale 500. But handels better. With better grip in the front of the stock. The 500 with carbonbottle makes the choise a little harder because it makes the 500 half a kilo lighter.

There is a real chance this gun has the 470cc airtube from bobcat with different endcab. Like the royale 200 was 185cc.. same tube as cyklone. If it has interest it should not be impossible to find out. I might be wrong in some of this. But i dont think so. Have a good night.

It looks like the Royale 300 is the new Royale 200. The .25 cal is actually 400 and has a 600mm barrel.
Any thoughts from anyone with a Royale 200?
I'm seriously considering this instead of the 500, because I prefer the tube vs the bottle. Also, the front of the stock is already setup for a bipod.

Hey deroosea,
Did you purchase an FX? If yes, which one did you end up with?
I am in Perth, Ontario (about 1.5 hours east of Airgun Source) and am seriously considering the .25 Royale 300 or maybe a Royal 500 if I decide on going .25. Would appreciate hearing from you.

Seems like I read some place that AOA was not going to import the Royale 300. Anyone know about that???

I saw a pic of one out of the stock-streamline-200/300 tube, for some reason I thought the action/ block looked shorter in height than the royal block

When I was in the process of buying an FX .25 Wildcat, I came across this Royale 300 on the AoA website.
