The trigger pull of the FX Crown Continuum tested by HAM was outstanding. HAM has no reason to expect that the long barrel will deliver accuracy results that are less stellar than this – and at much longer ranges.
Only the H&N Field Target Trophies seemed not to the taste of this air rifle. H&N Field Target Trophy Green 10.03 GrainĪs is expected from FX air rifles, the overall level of accuracy produced with (almost) all the HAM test pellets weighing 14 Grains and above was extremely good. At 25 Yards, we had a pretty-well one hole group for 10 shots! Pellet What’s better is that these pellets also delivered the best accuracy. However, most purchasers of this air rifle will be much more interested in the 35.39 Ft/Lbs of Muzzle Energy produced using the 25.39 Grain JSB Jumbo Monster pellets. If you have the money, this is a perfect air rifle.īUY FROM AIRGUN DEPOT FX Crown Continuum YellowjacketĪs can be seen below, the FX Crown Continuum tested by HAM achieved peak Muzzle Velocities of 1109 FPS with alloy pellets and 1027 FPS with lead. So, HAM’s value rating is made based on the opinion of an existing, happy Crown owner! In Doug’s test notes he wrote: Yes it’s expensive, but you get so much value in the adjustability and versatility of interchangeable barrels.” HAM Tester Doug Rogers was so impressed with the 2018 review Crown that he purchased it himself! He clearly sees the improvements in this Continuum and feels that it represents outstanding value, even at $2K.
Also the two-barrel flexibility of the FX Crown Continuum is provided at a price just $100 higher than that for a “non-Continuum” Crown model. So there’s a number of worthwhile improvements compared to the previous Crown. The Crown Continuum also includes the new “Side-shot style” magazine which HAM covered recently. One is on top of the breech, with two each side (photo below). There’s no less than five setscrews to secure the barrel in place. The barrel itself is mounted in a much more substantial manner. One is the new, latest and greatest FX Smooth Twist X barrel rifling. The included moderator can be attached to either barrel.Ĭompared to the original Crown tested by HAM in Summer 2018, the Continuum in this review has a number of additional improvements. This is advised for hunting and similar situations where manoeuvrability is important. HAM tested the gun with the short (380 mm, 15 Inch) barrel. The longer – 700 mm (27.6 Inch) barrel is specifically intended for benchrest and other types of long range shooting. It’s notable for including two barrels – of the same caliber but different lengths. The FX Crown Continuum is the latest iteration of the Crown platform.
