ROYALE with cheese
Here is the new FX Royale in a 22cal flavor. The scope is one of the Fitco tactical Canadian purchases. The bottle clamp is a Dr. Bob and Harris style bipod. Fill is 210 BAR with Kodiak pellets. The rifle is fairly lightweight and short. Easily slung to the shoulder. Accuracy is as good as my Marauder. At 40m yards I can cover 5 shots with a quarter. I have not sent them thru a Chrony yet. Gun is nearly as quiet as the S410 and also has a smooth side lever. On a fill I can get off around 40 or 50 shots. Now the “cheese”, I have had some problems with this gun. It came in with a stock blemish which I could not live with. AoA did not hesitate to replace the stock with a great looking grain (walnut ). Also I noticed that it would leak off a fill over several days. The leak point was where the stock screws into the action. FX used a long allen screw sealed with loctite to hold a threaded barrel. The stock bolt screwed into this barrel. The threads on the long allen screw leaked. FX acknowledges this blunder and issues a fix. A new allen screw and O-ring makes the leak go away.
All in all I say it’s a decent gun, well made, accurate and easily carried. I like it and it makes a nice addition to my PCP family.

Ssshhhh !!! The neighbors haven’t seen it yet !
FPE is advertised at 36 ft lbs.
I have to go get another bottle fill – i’m outta air !!!

It’s a 400CC bottle ( detachable ) with 12 shot magazine. Yes I needed the high rings to clear that mag. Also has a BAR gauge on the bottom and male foster fill which I like a lot
It does not come close to the MCT….and rightly so. The MCT creates one 5 shot hole of edges touching every time. The Royale is close but not as consistant. The Edgun is probably the one that is closest to the MCT accuracy.
Anyone else out there have a Royale ? They make them with a Walnut stock and Synthetic stock

Very nice. I’ve wondered about that gun. It does look like you better be happy with high rings with that mag sticking up so high though. Would like to see how it does accuracy wise compared to the Wolf.
You must be loaded, very nice gun yet again.
And the swimmin’ pool is leakin’ too!
Actually, both of those items are too far away for that cheezy rifle to hit. Must be an optical illusion. 😛
That is some kind of a gun and yes you have alot of testing to do to satisfy us, so get on with it.
I noticed the 2 back windows of that old blue van in the background appear to be shot out… 😆
How the hell are you gonna be able to tackle 2 new guns?
I’ll PM you my addy and if you pay shipping, I’ll let you send me the MCT so you can concentrate on the FX.
(This is not an open invitation to you all to send me your Edguns and the like. I feel Tach’ needs this favour…)
Thats looks like it will be easy to enjoy. Sweet gun…
OK, It’s beautiful! 😀 Now how does it compare to a rapid?
More importantly, how does it compare to your new Wolf!!!
Good looking guns, It looks like a super hight mount is necessary to clear the mag. Or is that just the pic.
What size bottle is that getting the 40 to 50 shots? FEP? come on man! We gotta Know!
Mike 😀
I love you all !! 😀 😀
Now I want you all to know, yep I an’t purty but I can shoot the stars right out of the sky. Now look in one of those pictures of the Royale. See the nut trees in the far distant. There was a gray squirrel going up and down that tree while I was target shooting. I zero’d in on him but did not squeeze. He had a big walnut in his mouth and the wife came out. 🙄
Who’s up for the next review ?
LAter
Just what I was thinking ! 😯
We all know Mam’ knocks off rich old gals, but I saw the photo of Tach’ and he ain’t nearly purdy enough…. 😆
Mam and tach must have teamed up and violated Fort Knox. Between the two of them, I have seen some very nice guns lately. 😀
Did you hit the lottery?
Those are nice guns. Saw one sweep a bench rest competition a few days after the guy got it with a scope that had been put it on a few minute before the match.
