Fx Dreamline vs Royale both with ACZ ft stock for Field Target

[Ponsoldt2]

Working on a field target gun. ACZ makes a field trial stock for the Dreamline and the Royale. Which gun is better for field trial and why? For purposes of the discussion, assume they are both the same price. The Royal would be used the dreamline new. 

Thanks for the reasoned opinions in advance.

No sure what you are referring to by Field Trial. Are you talking about Field Target?

Obviously new. Got it confused with dog terms. Here is the link to the stock. https://utahairguns.com/acz-hunter-chassis-only-dreamline-streamline/#product-description

Here is the FX webpage for what you are considering. https://fxairguns.com/rifles/dreamline-field-target/

However, I think the Royale would be the better choice as I haven't seen a .177 FX Dreamline barrel with the accuracy needed for FT. At least in 12FPE for WFTF class FT.

Here is an article by a Brit that used a Streamline and the ACZ stock for WFTF Field Target. https://sureshot-airguns.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/ACZ-Streamline-Review-1.pdf

Hope this helps.

I am a new FT shooter and happy with the dreamline and hw97. Wish you the best.

If you embark on the project based on the Royale, Please post details. I am interested in doing the same if budget permits.

I have one of these stocks on my AA S400 MPR FT. It is made by Aeron. Very solid and well built. My only complaint is that the T-slot for attaching hamsters, etc. under the forearm will NOT accept accessories that are standard Anschutz size. The depth of the T-slot is too thin. In my case, I actually mounted a standard Anschutz style rail to the bottom of the fore-end so I can use my Rowan knee riser.

I've been using the Aeron FT stock on my FX400 for about 5 years now in Field Target. No complaints.

I've been trying to see if Utah Airguns can get me another stock for another FX400 I own. If not I'm going to build my own copy.

Utah Airguns Update, I got an email from Thad that they cannot get the Aeron FT stock for the FX400. So I guess this means I'm going to move forward on my own version.

I just got mine in 2 days ago from Sure Shot Airguns in the UK for my FX Royale ,I tried Utah Airguns first they said they were not able to order it from ACZ,it is a very tight fitting stock very close tolerances and I added the boss trigger to the royale so I had to slightly modify to accommodate the slight over hang of the trigger pins .Very well made stock and well balanced definitely worth the coin and once you get it dialed in to your liking its like having a totally different gun.
