Watched them both, hanks. I enjoyed both. I TOO light in the UK where they make clean kills at 50m using 12fpe, and "finally light enough" for the U.S. market - though to me likely would be too light for target work, I might hunt with that weight, have hunted with a full blown FT rig too-. The finish described via UK ( UK right?) sound EXACTLY like my gen 1 marauder. Not a "bad" finish but nothing I was used to. And all the other little differences, very cool.
I like reading many over seas forums, the SA airgun forum has some good advance ( of the US ) sometimes and often are hungry for what is available here first.

Love the look and the features of this gun with a great price point. I just need to decide whether or not to buy this or the wildcat

I have the Wildcat and love it. That scatchy appearance he describes on the air tube and barrel sleeve I think are there by design. On my Wildcat the pattern of the scratches just seems like FX wanted it to look that way. Could be wrong...

Lloyd @ Blackpool Air Rifles, who made the 2nd 'vid' in the OP is a nice guy and known to be a 'fair dealer' (despite the fact that his company is rather large), I don't however 
, think he is a natural performer in front of the camera - that Streamline review was a bit rushed (IMO).
FX airtubes haven't been 'blued' for years probably because they are made of an alloy. therefore the gray/blue matte Anodized appearance.

one of the main USP's of this rifle is it's light weight !!!

That rifle has a ton of features and looks great! It does have me wondering what they had to sacrifice though to keep the price point so low vs their other rifles in their line up?

Very very cool rifle! The air cylinder and shroud probably have the same "fingerprint resistant finish" as the Wildcat which is very nice IMO. Seems like an adjustable cheek piece would have been a great feature to include on the new Streamline.

FX actually touts that finish as fingerprint and smudge proof. I too have it on my Wildcat. I like it.

I've been waiting many months for this rifle to finally appear and get some facts about it. I don't like the range of the power adjuster - sounds like 34/24/20 fpe for the 3-position power adjuster. I was really hoping for low to be closer to 12 fpe.

Wahoowad - they'll be a number of power wheel options (no doubt), for the UK I expect something like 6, 9 & 12FPE (approx) and there may be other variations.
But don't expect to see 12, 24 & 34FPE as standard.

Yeah well having 24 and 20 so close together doesn't give you a lot of flexibility. I think 12, 24, 34 is just right. They can send one to me to try out for my design services.

Still waiting on mine, ordered it as soon as I heard about them. Going to give Jim a call & get the scoop. Thanks for posting the video.

In this price point, if I were Benjamin or Weihrauch, I would be worried. I have both the Marauder and the HW100. I also have a FT version of the FX Royale and if this gun is anything like the Royale I'll be very happy. Should be here in a few weeks. It does accept the stackable moderator offered by FX. I have these on my FT gun and they work.verrrrryyyy quiet.
