However, when I realised the ability and versatility of the impact mk2 I had a bit of a rethink. Still might get a crown though. 2 Quote Link to post

Iv had both in sub 12 and the crown is way above the impact imop and must be out standing in fac atvbjimmy 1 Quote Link to post
Dervburner 2,549 Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Yep, I love the crown, and in a 12ft lb version Id choose it over the impact. It’s at fac level that I think the impact has the edge (versatility wise) over the crown. The impact can use a longer barrel more comfortably than the crown. I saw a crown with a 700mm barrel and it looked an unwieldy piece that could easily sustain damage as well. 2 Quote Link to post

Got to say dont think i ever pulled the barrel out on my crown when out shooting i liked it in and out the way the crown is a long rifle to start with lol atvbjimmy 1 Quote Link to post
philpot 4,991 Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 If.......IF I had some spare dosh, a Crown in .22 fac would be in my cabinet for sure. I am not a lover of long rifles at all as I find them out of balance BUT the Crown is so lightweight in the shoulder with a balance to die for, in my opinion, there is no other air rifle that can hold a candle to it in terms of handling when comparing to other long rifles. Just my opinion. Phil 1 Quote Link to post

Phil The crown dose what it says on the tin and a 100yrd shot is no longer out the picture with a sub 12 rifle some thing i proved with my crown when at si,s atvbjimmy Quote Link to post
villaman 9,983 Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Love the crown but add a mod then they do become long and in FAC they definitely need a mod on , which makes them about 2” (50mm) longer than standard 1 Quote Link to post
