So with all the hoopla and “latest” dates thrown about for release and availability - still none are available - usual Fx M.O.. have only been able to find preorder with no mention of final price.
Anyone know anything?
Anyone know anything?
Fx Dreamline eta?
- Thread starter texagdds
- Start date
Even when available I would give it time to workout bugs....seems like the impact still has lots of leaking issues.

FX's streamline release went relatively smooth imo, its a much less complicated action, and I believe the dreamline is as well...so I don't expect TOO many bugs to need working out. JMO

FX told me yesterday that the first batch was due to arrive at FX USA next week, from which one will be sent me for an RDW in January. That's all I've got for the moment. Steve

I would wait till they work the bugs out. Maybe a year or so. Every new product has problems and something as complex as an airgun from FX that can morph into many configurations will undoubtedly have some initial break in issues.

That is great news. I wasn't expecting my preorder until January. I have a few questions
Will it still take the mini magazines like the Sreamline or are the crown magazines different?
What model's caliber's will be available on first run?
Are all the specs the same as the Streamline? ie air cylinder sizing,
Pricing on models?
First thing I have preordered with so little information.. Feeling excited and a little nervous

i am not an fx fan because i like rifles to be simple.... but a friend of mine have a MKl wildcat in .25 cal and its accuracy is veeery good....excellent!!! they build very efficient, adjustable, accurate, balanced, quiet rifles.... but i think because of the adjustability, maybe there are many orings and little parts involved in one rifle, but when you tune it and learn the entire rifle, its a dream!!

Review, Discuss, Win.....airguns of arizona send a new rifle to Steve from AEAC and he review it and then here in airgun nation forum they make a raffle in which we need to guess the price of a bundle (rifle, some pellets, scope mounts....)... the one that hits or hits closer the exact price, wins.... i think its only valid in the USA (i am from Colombia, btw sorry for my english)

Will be interesting to see how many dealers are willing to sit on all the components to make up all the dreamline configurations. With FXs reputation of moving product to the USA as slow as snails, I doubt we will see all the configurations at once. And if they prove me wrong you will all be happier for it.

Oh thanks jla.. did not know.
"Slow as snails" that's funny.. I've heard "slow as a glacier" but not snails..
Would like to see this rifle in person and shoot it as well. Hopefully the "pros" Ted, Matt, (Bob_O) have been shooting this rifle and providing feed back in real hunting situations.. Who knows?
I live near Michelin's US1 tire plant and they run vehicles 24 / 7 testing tires. See them all the time driving. Always 5 or 6 of them together almost bumper to bumper.

Would have been nice Mark......I have a bunch of places to shoot (18 farms) and possibly more time to do it than Matt and/or Ted......but I'm just a nobody in comparison.

ah, no my man, i find your vids to be a very close reference to the conditions i and many others actually shoot in. with regular day variables and difficulties. so they are MORE useful to me. don't sell yourself short.

Bob!, your videos are fantastic and "real world" situations with wind, rain, sleet, snow with extreme Temps both hot and cold. You shoot from your car window, roof of your vehicle, fence posts, etc.. the real deal!!! If I were a mfg you can bet I would contact you and you'd be perfect for analysis on any air gun platform.
As rangur1 said "do not sell yourself short." you sir are a well respected youtube'r and and even better respectful poster with invaluable knowledge that you share openly..

Geez...thanks guys.
I did reach out to FX when the Dreamline was first announced to see if they would like me to test it in the field.
I got no answer.

Well Bob.. that's too bad.. IMO You be be great at testing..
Not go - but, when people don't respond to questions or requests... it reminds me as what grandmother used to say about being late.."it's the height or rudeness."
Maybe, they didn't receive your letter or email? Maybe they don't field test? Maybe they already have a team in place. Hard to say.. Time will tell.

It's okay.........I didn't expect an answer. I've just learned over my adulthood that it never hurts to ask.

Great advice! People miss out on lots of opertunties because they are too afraid to ask. If it’s a no your no worse off then before.
