FX DREAMLINE FIRST SHOOTING

I am considering the Dreamline for hunting groundhogs at longer ranges with slugs with their better b.c.'s and down range power and accuracy. I like the Dreamline as far as the lower base price, externally adjustable regulator, hammer and valve opening and also the ability to change caliber and barrel liners. I would probably get the Tactical version over the Lite version so I could have the adjustable AR style stock with a better cheek rest. Also the Tactical version comes with the picatinny scope rail with raised position looks like it would give you better eye alignment over the Lite model. As a hunter I must have a sling on my rifles so the Tactical model looks like adding a sling is more doable over the Lite model. Even if I add a sling it looks like the rifle would not carry well in the field as the front sling stud point to rear connection point is so short. That is where like others have said a longer fore end picatinny rail or modified fore end to add length and protect the air tube would be a good add on. The other thing that is a shame is how long pcp rifles in general have to be to utilized the air for power. Then since most barrel shrouds do little to lessen report we add moderators which make the rifle even longer. If you are going to put a shroud on a barrel at least put a baffle system in there so we can keep overall rifle length down. At least for groundhog hunting in the open fields a long rifle is not as problematic oppose to hunting in the woods. I have other shorter rifles and a bullpup for hunting in the woods. Bill
 


Is this correct? Am I reading this right? "Sale Price" Really AoA?

edosan - correct, the United States is one of the last hold outs on the Imperial system. I have Imperial and Metric tools, making a real pain to work on anything. Some US vendors have the strange desire to mix the two specifications on the same vehicles, so it becomes a real mess to work on anything. I am guaranteed that FX is Metric and Crosman is Imperial. Two sets of tools for everything.
 
Weird, the video has been deleted from Youtube.

True, I do have both tools too (hex keys and a few other things) ..a real pain, but in time I been able to get use to it, but when you start and make related mistakes...you really hate it! :)

Almost anything from US is imperial system, so you are right Crosman been a US company manage almost everything in imperial, the problem is that is they want to expand outside US, metric is the way to go. FX in the other hand is from Sweden, and is 100% metric. Same with scopes...MOA vs MIL so on and ...

Today just 3 countries in the world (out of 195) uses the imperial system:

  • Liberia.
  • Myanmar (a.k.a. “the country formerly known as Burma”)
  • United States of America.

I am a data freak! jaja, so come on guys...let's be just 1 world where it can be!

The English still use Whitworth on some heavy equipment. I worked in an Aluminum rolling mill and when we installed a new 5 stand mill in the 80's, the first three stands were built in Japan by Mitsubishi. Stands 4 and 5 and the exit material handeling equipment was built in England by Davy. The hydraulics were all American standard. That was a pain in the butt!
