FX Royale 400 guys

IF they are built like the old ones they SHOULD be RELIABLE. Looks like this one has FX NO LIMITS RINGS rather tall. Eagle Vision rings should work too. Adjustable rings recommended for this gun.

Pretty sure I ran medium rings on mine.

They're a very nice no fuss rifle. If you can live with only shooting jsb pellets, it will serve you well.

i did have medium FX/NL rings on mine with a 44mm OL.

they worked perfect.

Great guns! Theres a guy on ebay that sells mags that work well also.

I've had a Royale 400 for a few years and love it. It's the only FX rifle I want to own. FX puts out new stuff at a frenetic pace. Some of their designs are exciting, but they tend to make the consumer the guinea pig in their trials. Obviously a lot of folks enjoy that role. I'm an old fart who appreciates boring reliability. You will not regret buying a Royale 400.

I got the last walnut FX400 AOA had this past spring. The most accurate rifle I own. On a windless day I think it might out shoot my Winchester 52 D to 50 yards. I shot it at 10 meters just to see what it would do. One hole for sure. Knocks them DRT at the diaries I go to in AZ and WA. Probably right about JSB pellets. It shoots every pellet great but with a flyer every now and then with Crosmans. I had AOA install a 580 cc bottle on it. It's the first regulated airgun I have and I get 114 shots before coming off the regulator. Have fun, Scott

I tried to get one of those mags. It never showed and no communication so I had to go to Ebay and get a refund. Watch out!!

Aww that sucks, i have 4 of them in .25 they sure took a while to show up but they did.

Tall rings. Might get away with medium rings with the smaller Streamline mags. Don't let the tall ring thing keep you from experiencing a very nice rifle.

I had no idea the FX Royale 400s could accept anything larger than the small standard sized FX mags.

Try Hatsun Flash mags. I have 5 of them. They are a tiny bit wider than a FX mag. I lossen the barrel screws and push the mag in and it moves the barrel enough to fit then tighten the screws back up. The FX mag still works fine. You can sand the back side of the Hatsun mag till it fits I guess. Have fun, Scott

$13-$20 depending if you shop smart (OR NOT) HATSAN mags.

Like this HATSAN Flash mag $13!!!

I used Warne medium rings, with a 50mm objective scope, on my .177. Just enough room for the mag to clear.

Seems to depend on the scope. I was using high rings with a hawke airmax compact, then bought an airmax FFP (AIRMAX 30 FFP SF 6-24x50), and the mag wouldn't clear. Now I'm using sportsmatch extra high rings. Doesn't bother me though, still comfortable to shoot and the gun is fantastic. Scott, any pics of the 580 cc bottle on your 400? That's something I've kicked around.

I had one for a while. Very, very accurate with 18 gr Jsb. All I shot in it. I had to use high rings with the Discovery 4x16x44 scope. Sidelever is typical FX smooth, trigger was great, accuracy was great, and with the carbon bottle it was light. I bought it used with a 500cc aluminum bottle on it but it was too heavy so I bought a 480cc carbon bottle for it.

It was a little louder than I liked so I made a workimg shroud for it that helped a lot to quiet it down. Sold it to fund other airguns as always. 

I owned a couple in the past years. One thing is the magazine setup was hit and miss which effected accuracy. My last one was the quietest rifle I ever owned with a Hugget pickle. It was a one holer most of time but was very picky on the way you held it. Very sensitive.

I would say both of these situations are anomalies with the Royale. It is the most reliable magazine rifle I have owned. Unless the barrel position is slightly off, which can kill it, but that's a 30 second adjustment. And mine has never been any more sensitive than other PCP rifles of comparable power and weight.

I knew you couldnt stay away from the airguns Dillon lol. Hope you enjoy your rifle once you get it all sorted out.

Sorry (but not sorry) but I don't have a 400. I have a 500 (.25) & a Boss (.30). Same platform. Unbelievable guns, so much so that I sold all my others & only own those two. In the words of Centercut to me "It's the best platform FX has ever made. No FX guns are more accurate than these". I've never found either one to be "very sensitive" to different holds & both have been TROUBLE FREE since day one. I assume the 400 would be the same. They won't shoot slugs due to the Original Smooth Twist barrel but it doesn't matter to me. I can routinely make 100 + yard shots with confidence or I should say the guns can if I'm doing my part. Hope you get it, you'll love it!
