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
