I’m still on the fence thinking about a Streamline in .25, would love to see some real world results at 100 yards.
Thanks,
John

Let's see some Streamline 100 yard groups !

Chuck has one shooting mk2s 34gr shooting 900fps, huma reg and stacking pellets at 50yrds, seen it with my own eyes.Id reach out and talk with him.

What's not to like, priced close to the huntsman, regulated, higher shot count and capable of 60fpe.

If I can't get comfortable with my Cricket this is the rifle I'm going with. Seems like a solid platform.

Hi John,
The .25 Streamline is a fantastic rifle in every respect. I have a Huma regulator in mine and I currently have it set to shoot the 34gr. JSB MKII's at an avg. V of 905 ft/s which yields about 62 fpe. At 50 yards it stacks pellet on pellet, at 75 yards 1/2" to 3/4" groups, at 100 yards in ideal conditions I get 1/2" to 3/4 groups...but in 10-15 mph wind conditions I get 1" to 1.5" groups. That is shooting with a Harris bipod and Caldwell rear bag off a bench at Markham Park Target Range here in Broward County, Florida.
Bear in mind that I clean all my pellets and weigh and sort them on a Lyman digital scale to within a tenth of a grain, and then I lube them with Napier Pellet Lube. So when I am shooting it is with pellets that have been cleaned and lubed and all weigh within 1/10th of a grain of each other. I routinely fill my Streamline to 300 bar which gives me 33 full power shots before she falls off the reg. On a 250 bar fill I get 22 shots before she falls off the reg. This is what I do...I am not encouraging anyone else to do what I do.
I love the walnut stock and the short throw cocking lever. I have the Athlon Midas BTR 2.5-15x50 SF IR scope on her, along with a Huggett moderator. I installed a WIKA air gauge that reads up to 315 bar...in the picture of it below I have it marked at 250 bar. I have never had any trouble or problems with her at all...I only installed the Huma so as to be able to adjust my velocity in order to explore the possibilities of the 34gr JSB pellets. And by the way, she shoots the 34gr. MK1 pellets slightly more accurately than the MKII...but they cause the breech oring to wear out sooner.
This rifle costs $1100 and in my opinion is superior to the Crown and the Dreamline in spite of their "adjustability" or "X" barrel capability, because once you set it to the velocity for your pellet of choice you probably won't want to ever change it anyway, and as for X barrels...I seriously doubt an X barrel will shoot any more accurately than my rifle does. I know you hunt shooting offhand, so please believe me when I tell you the Streamline shoulders and points instantly and perfectly. I don't show target pics on the forum due to the fact they are too easily fabricated...I figure people can believe me or not as they choose, but I will include a dove target shot once in the head and once in the heart at 100 yards on a calm day.
I absolutely recommend the .25 Streamline for a full length hunting rifle or for just shooting targets like I do.
All the best, Chuck

I have seen Chuck shoot this gun in person and it is a laser in his hands! Pellet on pellet on pellet at 50 yards. Nothing but a big ole chunk of lead stuck in the target backer. If I were to get my first FX it would be a Streamline.

I've been using my fx streamline at all the distances up to 140m that's about 160 yards. But the best results at longer distances were at 90m or about 100 yards.
This was a group at 138meters that's about 150 yards. It was about 4 inch group
Here are some of my videos i made shooting fx streamline at 60 yards and 80 yards

Nice group but do we know if the OP is "Still on the fence" about getting one? The OP posted this in April 2018. They are no longer available unless he gets one from the used market or he finds one in a shop that hasn't sold all of them from their inventory.

Streamline .22, JSB 18.13 horrible wind that day! On a low wind day she normally yields 3/4 and 1-1/2 inch groups @ 100yards. But I’ll post the groups anyway. People who shoot in the wind will understand. Look at the 25 yard groups the gun is accurate. Facts not fluff...

Great groups at 25 yards. I guess the wind scattered your shoots at 100 yards. I know those guns could do better at those distances. I am probably going to shoot today and hopefully the strong wind that we're having in the south europe is not going to mess everything up.
