Currently I'm on a wait list for the FX Impact/ Crown in 25 caliber. It's going to be a 2-4 month wait if the dealers are not being deceived by their suppliers. Originally I only wanted the Crown but after speaking to Johan from FX he confirmed my suspicions that the new barrel system for the Crown will be interchangeable with the Impact. Barrel kits for the Impact using this technology will be available in the 4th quarter. The biggest thrill I get from shooting air rifles is it becomes a scaled down long distance sniper shoot like I enjoyed when I was in the service. I really love doing the ballistics and then only having to look for a 100 to 150 yard place to shoot and improve.
I have both a 308 and a 6.5 creedmore sniper rifle in order to shoot at a 1000 yard range I have to travel for a few hours. With my air rifle my gun club has a 200 yd rifle range which in air rifle terms is like a 1500 yd. setup.
I only have a Hatsan Gladius in 22 caliber and I want to get something else that would be considered the best available within my $2000.00 budget. After doing quite a bit of web searching and YouTube watching, I thought the two FX rifles were a good choice. Since the delivery of these rifles are not guaranteed to happen in a timely manner I would like to see what other choices are out there.
The features I like on the FX rifles are the large capacity air tank good for approximately 60 shots, the interchangeable barrels , the weight being around 6- 7 pounds and I also like the looks.
Performance wise it must be a tac driver that comfortable to shoot all day. I will probably be doing 60% bench rest target shooting and the remaining use will be hunting and plinking.
If any of you have any other rifle suggestions that may be a fit for me please let me know.
