The smile when you first pick up the two guns is priceless.
Great perspective Matt and as usual edited very well. Got my .22 Crown with the green laminate stock last Saturday. Perched on top the Aztec Emerald.
Thanks for the detailed discussion about bullpups and rifles. It is really helpful information for those deciding which to buy. Can't wait for the Pategonia videos! Best regards. Jess
So happy to see you again man I just search for your chanel today & found there was no video available but it seems like UA-cam issues now being satl down
Well done Matt i already own the FX Impact and was looking to add another rifle to my collection. Being a fan of FX guns i was leaning towards the Crown. Your videos always answer many of my questions and concerns, and this one has helped with my decision . Thanks from Canada
Matt,
You really made me decide for which of the both FX air rifle I should purchase.
Thank you for showing this video in comparison and the diference between both of them.
I was indecided which one to buy and after watching your video I purchased the FX Impact with 2 aditional barrel kits.
Now I have .22, .25 y .30 caliber and it is perfect for taking to the field.
I mostly use my FX Impact for Iguana control here in Puerto Rico using the .25 caliber barrel which is a knock down with head shots, especially at long distance shots.
That is what I was looking precision en los tiros.
The Crown and the FX Impact are great air rifles, but since I do most of the walk trought trees, vines and heavy brush I got me the FX Impact!
I really love my FX Impact!
Gracias!

I love your perspective about guns. You are very detail oriented. I’m new to the pcp world and have learned so much valuable information from you. I have the same taste in guns as you also. I have been doing plenty of researching and learning from many different people and the impact and the crown were my top 2 choices as of now. Thank you for all your very valuable information that you provide. I think I just might have to purchase both guns. Haha. It’s too hard to decide. We only live once.
Very true
I had way too much coffee before I filmed this
AirArmsHuntingSA, haha......
When is your hunting video coming?
Im waiting sir
Your the best Matt take care
Van you do a fx streamline vs a fx crown pls en you are te best 👍🏻
There can never be to much caffeine! Great video Matt! As usual.
AirArmsHuntingSA obviously the 'pup is lighter.
Know anyone interested in a .22 Monsoon, with a fore-grip bi-pod?
I had a beautiful hardwood stock made for it aswell.
Mine needs new seals, and frankly i'm shooting more .22lr with my daughters theses days, (i have a few thousand rounds of copper-plated hunting ammunition aswell).
I have an Evanix .22 pistol for sale aswell, if you know anyone who might be interested, (it has four cylandars).
Beautiful bird.
👍
So glad to see you back Matt keep up the exceptional work.
love that little bird! it's SO AWESOME!! Another Awesome Video Matt!!!
Wow, this is the earliest I've ever been! Matt, LOVE the channel ! ! ! !
If you ever get a chance, and the weapon, it would be the greatest thing ever to do a hunt with a .38 Super 1911 ! Big love and thanx from TEXAS!
I had the same issue as you with my Daystate Griffin, beautiful gun but you get scared of scratching it. But after months of waiting I now have an Impact and the Griffin got traded in.
Good review Matt!! Two very fine air rifles!! Thanks for showing!!
Very informative, thanks! Impact for hunting, Crown for target. The Crown barrel has a lot of leverage on the only one point of support/connection.
Very informative video Matt, cheers
Good video. I had basically the same sesults as you with the NSA .25 slugs. Waiting for a more specific lines.
I'm from Indonesia...very impressed with your videos...I really like it, so I always watch every one of your videos about rifles
The smile on yiur face when your talking about the impact.... You love that gun! 👍
A very nice comparison discussion, Matt. I hope that you might make a video looking at 700mm Smooth Twist-X vs other barrel options for the Impact .25. Cheers!
Matthew, thank you for your insights and great points made on the dilemma addressed. I am leaning toward the Impact in 30 caliber for larger game hunting and well, I just want to have a big bore, highly accurate repeating air gun. I watched your Patagonia series and fell in love with the 700mm equipped Impact you make mention of. My question is about what sort of velocity can I expect with the addition of the longer barrel? Also, I am interested in whether or not the new X barrel will carry the slugs you also reviewed and demonstrated. I was a bit windy there but do not know how else to pick your brain. Thanks much. Bret
Luvin these videos Matt, keep them coming, Cheers
3:46 "Destructo-Bird" looked awfully interested once a gun was lifted up!
Hey Matt love the vids !! How did u mount bipod on crown did u drill a hole and what kind of rail did you use to mount and also what no pod as well huge help thank you !
Great comparison video, thank you Matt. Custom HUGGET? Is the barrel recessed into the suppresser?
That is a brave bird destroying that bench around that many air rifles in such close proximity.
Hi Matt Another great video, to fit the bipod on the crown must you drill the stock?
Great video Matt making some good points on rifle or bullpup I switched to bullpups and will probably never go back to rifle for hunting unless it is open field hunting pup is so much more manageable in the woodlands of my area. Keep the video's coming!
Great to see you back online after the purge!
Good to have you back mate
NEVER too much coffee!!!!!! Love all f your vids, Matt!!!! Keep up the great work!!!!
If you should happen to read this comment i would love to know what the groups are like on that 177 Crown. i am assuming its running at the standard 18ft/lbs. This is the setup that i am tossing up on, but i am concerned about the possible spiral effect on the pellets. At 18ft/lb do they behave and if so mind me asking what you are using pellet wise. Thanks. Great video by the way.
Great review and congratulations. I have a question. I’m an ELRI shooter in the US, and am new to air rifles, and just got an RTI Prophet. I am used to shooting the 7.62, 300 Win Mag and 338 Lapua mag, and for standing shots we generally wrapped the strap with the rifles. Does anyone use straps for shooting stability with air rifles?
Time after time , great videos!
Thanks Matt..... excellent vid!
Fantastic video again. I am lucky to own the FX Impact and the Wildcat plus the HW100 all sub 12ft/lb and like you I always go to my Impact I just find it an amazing rifle for hunting because I shoot at night and use the Nitesite system I love the impact for being able to add all the toys.
Your video had shown me a lot and I did not think about why a the trigger was so good.
Keep it up mate
I hope that fx builds a impact pcp, or a crown version that has a protected barrel.that shoots 40 grain solids like a 22lr. And 700 mm barrel. Nothing fancy , just single shot 40 grain high power, 700cc pcp bottle. Barrel must be protected against bumps. Price under 1450 euro. Option to order from FX directly. Simple stock.
Very pretty, the crown particularly. I wish they did a nice laminate stock like that for the independence!
Matt! first of all, love your work and have became a better shot because of your videos "my Opinion Anyway", From Namibia, i only have a springer as PCP air rifles are hard to come by in Namibia, was wondering when you're going to come over for a Hunt in Namibia, i mean we Basically have the same hunting culture as u guys in SA, only a different environment/climate.
Keep up the good work and more hunting videos please, be it centre fire or air rifle..Great work..
face you shoot very well and with that equipment even better. what a shame that here in the country that I live in Brazil we do not have access to these good gear-our government's charge of absurdity matters to the value arrives ten times but expensive so we are held hostage to our country's manufacturers that manufactures a lot of equipment that is not worth anything and charge a gulf this and our brazil
Have been wondering if you have had the pleasure of using DonnyFl's ldc's and spotted one on the streamline! Once again a great video, thank you sir!
Well I love my inpact it is an awesome airgun. Thanks for the info as always good video.
What is that moderator on your impact please Matt? Makes the impact look even more pointable, is it as quiet as the standard set up. Thanks
Hi Matt,
How did you get that Huggett mod (think it's the snipe) to sit so far back on the barrel? It doesn't look any longer than the compact WITHOUT a moderator fitted!
I liked your video before watching it. I know you always have great videos. Keep it up man👍🏻
Same.
Hey Matt, did you going at the IWA 2018 in Nurnberg the Year?
Bro, i just saw a review made by Ted's hold over between royale and crown and seems like the crown was sort of an upgrade because the new twisted barrel, but still i was looking for this review you just made but you didnt mention anything about that twisted barrel; do you think this could be a major aspect to make a decision about which one to purchase?
What about for off hand shooting ? Which one would preform better? Maybe you could do a video on shooting both off hand. Just a thought. Great videos and thank you .
Thank you, very informative
Hey Matt Good Day! What happen to your day state wolverine? Its been a while since i saw you use that beautiful Airgun!
Hi Matt nice review which of these 2 rifles have less oring problem and leakage problems please tell me
Great stuff as always.
Lots of helpful information in this video Matt, I don't own a bullpup but maybe I will consider one in the future. I am looking at the Crown in .25. or .30.
Me too
I notice a lot of the screws and fittings on the impact are starting to rust, have they switched over to stainless parts on newer models?
Can you pls give me your honest views on which you would consider the best between the Daystate Wolverine b, or the fx impact or even the fx crown as I’m thinking about getting another gun,
I live in the UK and used to have a theoben rapid 7 which was a nice gun at the time so any help between the wolverine, fx impact, or fx crown
One question: How did you hang your two extra magazines on the Wildcat?
Yes Matt. You’re back!!!!
I’d love to hear your thoughts on the daystate red wolf
how did you attach the pic rail to the crown? Haven't taken delivery of mine yet but want to put a Javelin on mine.
Hello im thinking of buying a impact 30 cal but im wundering abut the o-rings howe mutch trubel they bring want the impact for its compact and accuracy but don't want trouble with rings every time im gonna youse it. Great channel kep it up :D
I want to varmint hunt and possible coyote hunt with it but can’t decide on either the crown in .25 or .30 or the impact x 700mm in .25 or .30. What would you recommend? Thank you and i love your channel!
Safe trip Matt, another good video.
any chance you will be doing a review of the rti arms priest in the near future pls
great vid. i like your reviews, i just got my first air gun its a benjamin prowler i havent shot it yet, cant wate to upgrade it soon.
Get cleaning pellets (cotton pellets) and some silicone oil (won't detonate). Enjoy!
I started shooting pcp with a Gamo gx40,and it was a great rifle,then went on to a hw110,and now also I’ve got the crown mk2 in synthetic vp stock,sak moderator and an atn x sight 4K pro scope,day and night vision so good to go anytime 😎👍😎
Hello Matt ... i bought a fx crown .22 blue laminate .. it suppose to be a fac gun ... how can i know that, since it shoot out of the box 18gr. jsb @ 580fps reg @ 130 bars spring wheel @ max and the third wheel is @ the 3points mark ??? Thanks in advance
Great video Mat, I have little time in the world of pcp, I have a umarex gauntlet .25 but my dream is to have a beautiful FX rifle. Greetings from El Paso Texas.
Good video, however the crown having no leaks, kinda a bold statement if seen more than a hand full of reviews of leaking
Matt how many shots can one expect from the crown 30 cal between fill ups
NICE VIDEO"S!!!! I have an question. I'm a hunter, but also want to shoot benchrest. Now I don't know what to do: FX Crown or Dreamline (because what you told about the position of the bipod). What is your advise? (I'm 66 years young)
Another great vid. Respect and love to SA.
I shoot a semi-bullpup Brocock Bantam, the best of both and ultimate accuracy to boot, what is there not to like :) good vid Matt and Obi one !
Which barrel length do you like for your impact? 500mm or 600mm?
What is the total length of the Impact in this video?
What do you think of the edgun leshiy or leshiy 2
Matt isn't it easier to shoot a rifle off-hand than it is to shoot a Bullpup? Also you didn't mention the difference in the weight of the two and whether weight is a factor. Secondly what distance/cal was it that won and placed in in the BR competition?
Finally did you special tune the Impact to get the 45 fpe or does it come from the factory already tuned to that level? Thanks for the video, very helpful
I no you are a fx man but some people can do the fx so what do you think of the hatsan nova in a 25 cal with a Aztec scope if you got time I would like your advice
I'm trying too get the fx impact used but at times they are way too expensive even use do you know where you can get a one cheaper then $1.804
does the crowns shroud extend/telescope to make it quiter?
Great video Matt.. very helpful. Matt may I ask you why did you change the barrel on impact any particular reason? What’s the difference in comparison with your other barrel in terms of performance with the new barrel.
He is lucky and got a smooth twist x barrel fitted for the impact.
RobZfisherman Thanks. That makes sense..
Definitely an impact 👍. Not as pretty but it can obviously handle more bumps that go with day to day pest control. Would the 600 mm slug liner barrel be ok to use pellets through it? Any loss of accuracy using the slug liner with pellets?
Really like your video's thank you 😎
I keep thinking... when will I be able to have a rifle, which is like your review, I always think so, but frankly there are no funds to have it..
as a subscriber...I always salute you...joss, carry on boss, I hope you continue to be successful..
Your place is picture perfect,,, having an fx and a crown, combined with a very beautiful hunting place,, is heaven already,,
Which of the two is quieter? I assume the Crown with the full shroud. But you seem to have a large moderator on the Impact.
Congrats on number two position, saw that on Giles channel. Wheres your video of event ???
I'm leaning towards buying a wildcat compact in .25. I always thought the crown was to long.
Who says a guy can love his rifle??? I can't say I blame you, these are great looking pieces of engineering, and that's a fact.
All i can say is nice AG and information..
Would it be safe to say that the harmonics would be better on the crown but if you tune it for harmonics then the mass advantage is moot?
Personally I'd prefer the crown. But that's based mainly on Aesthetics. You should keep the one that's most useful to you for your purposes. And you're the only one that can answer that question. I've heard that the impact requires a significant amount of fiddling to keep it in top operating condition, and that's not the case with the crown. And if that is indeed true or been your experience that I would certainly choose the crown.
The biggest advantage of the impact as I see it is its compactness. I suppose that for a working gun not having a nice wooden stock can also be an advantage. Because I'd be constantly worried about damaging the stock.
I love your videos. I wish i can have one of that rifles
What kind of rifel you use, please tell me name.
Very nice bird!! Great videos man :)
I only able to afford low price SPA/artemis/greyhound, and I choose P15 bullpup instead of M16 rifle simply because I need that small size because I bring it to range with my scooter I put it on the front deck and I need a longer/bigger air capacity which for my case the bullpup one has a lot bigger capacity.
And I also want to try longer barrel like you too, so I ended up with bulpup.
For those who drive cars/truck and have their own portable tank and dont want the longer barrel, I think traditional rifle is more suitable.
What is the price for your fx impact multi- cal .77&.22,please can you tell me
My friend .22 ou .25 wats you prefer?
Hey how do I buy one of these guns but somehow make sure that you get credit for it with your advertisers because I know about how they demonetized everything I am in the market to buy one and if I’m going to buy one I would somehow like for you to get credit for educating me which one to get any hits would be helpful thank you and I enjoy your videos.
Obi-Wan?! Best name ever!!
thats my dogs name......my old dog was Neelix ;-)
Wrong kind of bird though. Should be Obi-Wan Canary.
I didn't hear you mention the weight comparison. The dealer website i use shows the crown continuum (i own) at 5.85 lbs and the impact mk2 (i want to own) at 6.2 lbs. Not a lot of difference? Yes?
The Impact looks lighter than the Crown so that throws me.
Who won Extreme Bench Rest in 2019?
