FX Dreamline Pup vs. Wildcat II barrel support

[Mackie]

The Wildcat II ties the barrel and the cylinder together with the scope rail mount. The Dreamline has both the barrel and rail mount floating with no support tie bars to the barrel.

The Wildcat seems a much more robust approach for both the scope and barrel rigidity. Is this due to the swappable configuration on the Dreamline series?

I seem to recall reading an issue about FX barrel deflection but can’t recall which models.

The Dreamline is no different from the Crown in that regard. They have the same design.

Received my bullpup standard cylinder .22 cal. a few days back and wanted to zero the scope without the mod on... and while taking it off it, the barrel turned too !!!!

I tightened it by hand of course ...but Is this normal and isn't here some kind of a safety so that it does not come loose afetr a while ??



Thanks to all.
