Air Rifle FX Crown Mk2

[Kevin Peacocke]

I have always been keen on air rifle hunting. In the early days we all used spring powered rifles like the Diana 52 side lever, really powerful as far as springers went. Then about 5 years ago I bought an FX Royale 5.5mm PCP and it was a whole new world of power and accuracy. It however stays on the farm in the Eastern Cape.
Now I would like to get a 4.5mm version and I believe that the model available now is the Crown Mk2.
Do any of you have any experience with the FX Crown Mk2 please?

I apologize for taking your thread onto a tangent, but I wanted to follow it simply to see if anyone gave some feedback on the rifle you were interested in. As much as I enjoy shooting one of my 375 H&H rifles or my 458 Win Mag, at the other end of the spectrum I also love wandering through the woods with my underlever Weihrauch HW77 hunting for small game.

I have an old friend who hunts with British Daystate Airguns to good effect. He's a much better shot than me so he always puts me to shame with his 50-meter headshots on squirrels. I was unfamiliar with the FX rifles so it's always nice to have another brand to consider.
