FX Crown VP Edition

FX Crown VP Edition

One piece of airgun aristocracy has gotten a little easier to own, thanks to FX Airguns’ latest addition to the Crown line of Pre-charged pneumatic air rifles: The FX Crown VP.

“VP” stands for value priced. But, aside from replacing the 480cc carbon fiber bottle normally stock on the Crown with a 500cc air bottle, everything else is identical to a standard FX Crown.  The best part is that you can upgrade to the carbon fiber bottle at any time if you so desire.

Wrapped in an ambidextrous, black synthetic thumbhole stock, this entry-level model still incorporates all the precision components that have made the original Crown, first released in 2017, the iconic PCP air rifle it’s become in that short time. Some of these components include FX’s adjustable AMP regulator and the innovative STX barrel system. The new barrels retain the interchangeable barrel liner system, allowing shooters to use different liners with differing twist rates to optimize the performance of specific types of ammo. There's also an external hammer spring adjustment and transfer port adjustment.

Just fill the air bottle up to its 220 BAR (3,190 PSI) capacity and, depending on which caliber FX Crown VP rifle you choose, enjoy up to 200 consistent shots, thanks to the built-in regulator. The fully shrouded barrel keeps its downrange report low enough to allow for back-yard plinking and, with manufacturer-reported muzzle energies of up to 82 FPE (in .30-cal), the Crown can make for the perfect pest-elimination tool or small game hunter.
