I am someone who just can't leave anything alone, always want to try different things, my fx shoots lights out, better than me as a stock barrel, I did try a carbon barrel liner sleeve on it and added more internal supports from the liner to the shroud, didn't work so I bought a barrel band...

I just put a Hawke sidewinder 30 6-24 x 56 ffp on my FX last week, mounted it on thursday night, sighted it in Friday night indoors and shot again saturday indoors to 50 yards, so far so good, seems like a nice scope, eye box is full, no problem getting on the scope at any power, glass looks...

most of my better scopes are all rated for parallax free, down to a certain yardage, below that yardage they are blurry, not clear but from the advertised parallax minimum out to infinity they are clear as a bell, its only when I want to shoot 10 to 50 yards it seems I need a scope that...

I have a dreamline tac for a year and a half and no problems with the gun bought the 17,22,and 25 cal barrel kits, the 25 shoots lights out with heavy pellets and slugs bought the 17 kit, just didn't think the 17 had enough oomph for hunting, so I bought the 22 for a compromise then farted...

I think I solved the poi shift on my dreamline, and I do believe it was the scope and mount I was using, after switching scopes the problem has gone away, also have been storing the gun in my unheated garage, so no huge temperature swings bringing the gun from mid 70's inside to 30's outside...

just as a follow up, this may help someone else, i wound up removing the carbon liner sleeve from the barrel, and set it up again with just the two barrel spacers in place just like it was from stock, re sighted the whole deal in again and things are working good, just have to be very...

is that carbon fiber bottle 60mm OD the aluminum bottle tube on mine measures 60mm , does anyone know if the diameter is the same ?

does anyone know where to buy a barrel band for a fx dreamline tac, 20mm barrel shroud, 60mm bottle diameter ? can't seem to find one anywhere 

I can commiserate with your day, was out for 4 hrs saturday afternoon and didn't see a one overcast, some wind, and then at 4 pm it started to drizzle, not a good day for me either

so i'm really questioning things now, went hunting saturday morning and had one grey at 30 yard, good solid rest. crosshairs right below the ear at the shot the grey was stoned, but upon retrieval, noticed the shot hit 1/2" right and 1/2" high. maybe just me took the gun to my range yesterday...

I basically have the same thing now, the two barrel spacers on the end of the carbon barrel sleeve but with the shroud only threaded on one end, it would seem that if the shroud was bumped even a little, it would effect the barrel itself was just wondering if the setup would be better with no...

I bought a 22 cal, 500 smooth twist barrel for my FX dreamline tact I then purchased a carbon barrel sleeve, the sleeve was a tight fit, seems pretty secure, then I put the two barrel spacers on the end of the barrel and a small shot of glue to hold them in place then put on the shroud ...

I bought a 10 x 40 and it came in on friday, mounted it on my FX dreamline tac, on saturday and had a chance to shoot it saturday afternoon pretty cool scope, was able to zero without shims or a mount change, lined up close to my previous setup. scope is very clear. focus is going to be...
