Fx Dreamline now available to pre order at Utah Airgun

Jump to latest Follow Reply
I don't mean to be a wet blanket, but companies that offer preorders put themselves under immense pressure to deliver. This means that, while the first run is often perfectly serviceable, the second production run tends to have numerous small tweaks to improve things here and there. For this reason, I strive to avoid preordering anything. Much better to let other people be the spacemonkeys and see just how good and popular a design will be, what sort of after-market support will spring up around it, etc and then decide whether or not to buy. My 2c.

I’m going to agree with STO on FX’s first Dreamline run. It’s definitely a rifle I want to buy but will wait untill most the bugs are out.

I probably won't. But, boy oh boy do I want to! Guessing there won't be alot of bugs given the simple design. I don't remember reports of bugs with the Streamline from the first guys to get them. Maybe different with the bullpup chassis but, these are the "base models", maybe the one that looks like the Streamline? I bet that long skeletonized version is feathery! If they had hard numbers on weight and price, I'd be sorely tempted!

I'm a "Waiter" on pre-orders. In marketing they call the pre-ordering types, Early Adopters. Thank you Early Adopters, whoever you are, for working out all the kinks and defects before I finally get around to buying the product.

Must admit though, the Dreamline has some interesting potential, being able to customize a gun to your likes. Maybe next year I'll look at a Dreamline, or maybe in 2020 when I get the $$ together to buy the gun I really want.

It'll be interesting to see if FX moves away from most of their offerings that don't sell all that well and moves to the Dreamline as a foundation to the product line. I suspect they'd keep the Impact, Crown, WIldcat, and a couple others, but could drop the Streamline (same base price point) and others such as Bobcat, Whisper, Gladiator and others. By 2020 we'll know. Until then, it's all speculation.
