    Elements Optics Helix vs Vector Optics Veyron

    Interesting. The Veyron I have is the 4-16X44, but now I was thinking of getting the 6-24X44. But if that is not as good as the two siblings I definately need to research some more. Do you have any sources on that ?

    Elements Optics Helix vs Vector Optics Veyron

    Nothing wrong with the quality of the Veyron turrets, they just don't feature a zero stop. I now need to understand would the zero stop be useful for me, at the moment I do not know that. Any help in this understanding would be appreciated.

    Elements Optics Helix vs Vector Optics Veyron

    The scope is actually intended for a 17HMR rimfire. It has such flat trajectory, that I do not expect to be using the turrets that much. However I still hate turret caps, those would be a deal breaker for me ;-) I have the Veyron on my FX Dreamline, and I don't see anything wrong with it. If...

    Elements Optics Helix vs Vector Optics Veyron

    Hi, I am researching scope options for my next rifle and I've sort of narrowed it down to these two options (both of which are available here relatively easily). I'd like to know though, that is the Helix really worth twice the money of the Veyron ? And one technical detail that I cannot find...

    Tuning If I wanted to change caliber on my FX Dreamline

    OK so it seems to best course of action would be to get the entire barrel kit, which is hard to find in Europe in 600 mm length...

    Tuning If I wanted to change caliber on my FX Dreamline

    I now have an FX Dreamline 25 caliber (600mm barrel). If I wanted to change the caliber to 22, do I understand correctly that the cheapest way to do that would be to buy a 22 cal 600 mm superior liner and a 22 caliber pellet probe. No other parts would be needed ? I could reuse the shroud etc...

    FX Dreamline Classic .25 cal power

    Thanks, What is your regulator pressure ? Did you tune it ? What was it out of the box ? I just ordered the FX Chrono, I realized that tuning without a chrono makes no sense :-) So I cannot yet say how my powers are.

    Tuning FX Dreamline Classic 25, how many shots ?

    I just got a FX Dreamline Classic in 25 caliber. I have the regulator pressure at about 130 bar, it has the power plenum installed. When I fill the cylinder to 230 bar I get two, maybe three, magazines worth of shots (ie. 32 to about 40) before it falls to the neighborhood of 130 bar. So how...

    FX Dreamline Classic .25 cal power

    I didn't have the patience required to get the GRS version ;-) I went to the store yesterday to get the 25 caliber laminate stock version. I I am actually pleased with my choice. The gun feels just wonderful. I absolutely love the trigger, I didn't even realize that the trigger could be that...

    FX Dreamline Classic .25 cal power

    In my case the 25 caliber has one big advantage over the 22 caliber. I could actually get one ! The dealer I ordered the 22 caliber GRS stock from says, that FX lead times at the moment are incredibly long (apparently they are shipping most of their production to the US so us Europeans are left...

    FX Dreamline Classic .25 cal power

    Dreamline .22 muzzle energy at full power is 41J (30 ft/lbs), so that is at the upper limits on what these targets can handle. .25 would be 60J or even more if I added the power plenum, that would probably be over the edge. More joules make sense if you are hunting, but you cannot hunt with air...

    FX Dreamline Classic .25 cal power

    Maybe I or my neighbours won’t know the difference, but the receiving end of the pellet certainly will ;-) Anything stronger than 40J will damage my targets. The Gamo squirrel is having trouble even with that.

    FX Dreamline Classic .25 cal power

    Thanks, that would be super ! Did they have it on stock ? I really would love the GRS stock 22, but it seems I would have to wait for months to get it ;-(

    FX Dreamline Classic .25 cal power

    It is not just the noise. My current gun outputs >40J of muzzle energy, and that is the most that at least my field target squirrel (Gamo) can handle, and poorly at that ;-)

    FX Dreamline Classic .25 cal power

    I am considering changing the 22 cal GRS stock gun I have on order to a laminated stock 25 cal gun that I could get immediately. The only thing that I have reservations about is the power. I currently have a 45 J Gamo Magnum that is a bit too much (at least definately too loud) for the back...

    FX Delivery times ?

    Sorry, forgot to mention. I am in Europe, so I doubt FX USA is helping ;-)

    FX Delivery times ?

    Hi, You guys who have ordered FX Airguns, how long does it typically take to get them if they need to be ordered from the factory ?

    Ideas for next rifle, FX line.

    Update: After a lengthy decision making process, I decided I want a 22 cal FX Dreamline Classic with a GRS stock. So I marched to our local dealer to get one. Now the problem is availability ;-) It seams I need to wait for this piece of art for a while. The dealer was also keen on seeing a GRS...

    How to collect the lead ?

    I just got into airgunning, and I also bought two field targets (a rat and a squirrel). When I shoot paper targets, the lead waste is no problem as I have a pellet trap that I am shooting into. But how do I collect the lead when shooting at these field targets ? When the pellet hits the target...

    Tuning Gamo Replay10 Gen 2 magazine problem

    At least according to Gamo website (https://www.gamo.com/en/gamo-10x-gen1-gen2-magazines/) they are two diffferent things. The Roadster version is not inertia fed as the Magnum version. It would work, but it would allow for double loads. This would be a recipe for disaster if you have two...
