Interesting. I have heard mixed results with the FX Smooth Twist in .177. That is awesome! Really wish that FX made a Wildcat with all the adjustability of the Streamline. 

BTW, have you seen the stock Matt D was showing off? Looked pretty BA.

If FX would add the three stage power adjustment it would tip the scale for me.

It wouldn't be beneficial if it did because in 177 it will only shoot accurately at the highest power setting anyway.

ColdAir, could you please explain why this would be? I’m not familiar with the current speeds out of a .177 WC. If it had 3 power levels, what would we assume these speeds to be? And why would they not be accurate? Are you talking about any distance? Or do you have a particular distance in mind where it would no longer be accurate? Does the .177 Streamline behave like this as well? 
 
Baddest, Favorite, Most Accurate .177



Baddest as in most powerful .... My highly modified Gen 1 marauder which shoots best @ 20 ft lbs ... but can go in excess of 30 ft lbs

Favorite .... Again the M-rod due to having an excellent Chuvaka stock, JSA light aluminum air tube

Accurate .... may as well stay with the m-rod being it shoots just a well as my Daystates or Raw, BSA & Air arm

that looks more like a Chavka stock to me :)

Its a little known fact that with 177 FX barrels generally aren't very accurate at lower speeds below 900fps

and tend to do well in the 920-960s. Some guys even upgraded their WC regulators to the HUMA and

tried to do 12-14fpe WCs and resulted in less than stellar accuracy! Gave up and put everything back to the high power

and all was well again in the world. Something to do with the ST combination shooting its favored JSB pellets.

I believe its due to the rate of twist. A power wheel wouldn't benefit unless you bump the power up and have the lowest

setting starting at around 18fpe.

It is like the Marauder 22 barrel lottery for the 177 FX ST barrels in this case, you may even get lucky if you pray hard but

from what I have seen, other barrels in 177 such as LWs and CZs are superior in accuracy which is what I would recommend

if trying to install a power wheel onto a WC to vary lower power to get the best accuracy.
