I shoot a DL in HFT with good results and wondering the differences between DL and the Crown in terms of tuning ability and performance. Off course referencing to .177 in =<20 FPE category. Checking before ordering a backup rifle. Thanks.
jps2486 it seems to me that your results are in the minority. When you look at the FT results, you'll find lots of FX rifles in the mix.If you are having good results with your FX DL, you are in the minority. I have one and have tested it with 3 different barrels, and it's accuracy doesn't come close to my RAW, Daystate, or Air Arms 500 HFT. You are limited to 20 fpe in FT, so all this power adjustment stuff is kinda moot cause you don't need it. If you are serious about FT, look in the FT forum and see what others are shooting in the match results. You hardly see any FX rifles.. Personally, I like my two Crowns in 22 cal, but wouldn't buy one in .177 for FT.
Thank you all for the inputs. I removed the power wheel from my DL as the standard adjuster with jam nut provides finer tuning, shot count is good with bottle and current tune so no benefit from a bottle. So maybe another DL in say a GRS stock may be the 2nd HFT pcp for me.
Very nice, when the stars line up at night and I have the perfect coffee n eggs combo in the morning sometimes my groups look like that tooFX can be fine tuned to be extremely accurate, every bit as accurate as my Thomas. With some work it certain can be almost as consistent as my Thomas as well.
This is 3 shot group today at 30 yards with the Dreamline in FT chassis off of rest and got lucky with the wind:

Second group isn’t as lucky with the wind:

Granted they could be better. If you want to know the groups in the lower part of first picture were from my Thomas but from a different day, not sure why it didn’t want to group at 30 yards that day so gonna have to clean the barrel again.
I handled your FX in OK OkieMikeA! It is a small world! She looks great in the Saber Tactical chaasis!I've been using a .177 Dreamline Saber Tactical for HFT and it's doing a good job for me. I've started placing near the top at the last few shoots I've attended.
