FX Crown Continuum MkII

The new FX Crown Continuum is arguably the most versatile and accurate FX rifle currently available. The Continuum includes two all new Superlight Smooth Twist X barrels (380mm and 700mm), giving you the ability to use the rifle for hunting/plinking or as a highly accurate 75+ yard bench rest rifle. The new barrel feels much more rigid, now that it?s lighter and held in place by two 3mm set screws on each side of the receiver, which provides more stability over the top mounted set screws found on the standard Crown. Also, the old 11mm dovetail scope rail has been replaced with an integrated Picatinny rail. In addition to the new Superlight STX Barrels, the Continuum is about a pound lighter than the standard Crown. Throughout our testing, we?ve noticed a slight increase in power over the standard Crown, but the biggest difference is going to be the accuracy and a shot count increase of about 20 or so over the standard.

The FX Crown MKII Continuum is the successor of the original FX Crown. It’s got a 28% larger plenum, a larger 6.5 mm valve and optimised bores, resulting in significantly more power. This sporty rifle also features a 20 MOA Weaver/Picatinny rail, making for a more usable elevation adjustment of your rifle scope when shooting longer distances.

Special to this air rifle is the fact it comes with two barrels of different lengths, making it very versatile and suitable for multiple disciplines. The short barrel has a length of 380 mm (395 mm in calibre 7.62 or .30), while the long barrel has a length of 700 mm.

As we’re used to with FX, this Crown MKII Continuum can be adjusted in many ways. It’s got an externally adjustable AMP (Adjustable Match Precision) regulator, adjustable valve and the well-known power adjuster wheel, with which both macro and micro adjustments can be made to the hammer spring. All this will help you to perfectly match the power output of your PCP air rifle on the calibre and ammunition you’re using.

The Superlight STX (Smooth Twist X) barrel system has interchangeable liners, with which twist rate and even calibre can easily and quickly be changed. The rifling is securely pressed in from the outside, making for a very smooth, low-friction bore with tight tolerances. This barrel will provide the extreme precision that FX is known for.

This FX Crown MKII Continuum features a very refined and multi-adjustable FX Match trigger. The length and partially the weight of the first stage can be adjusted, as are the length and weight of the second stage. Adjustments can be made in such a precise way, a very low trigger weight -even below 500 grams- is possible.

This air rifle has a maintenance free synthetic. stock with ergonomical thumbhole and raised cheek piece, while the soft rubber buttstock can be adjusted for a perfect fit. The carbon fibre air cylinder has a capacity of 480 cc and can be filled up to a pressure of 250 bar.

This air rifle comes with moderate tuning settings, so that it can be used universally. The values shown in the specifications can be adjusted by utilising the adjustment options of the air rifle.
