Seeking Your Thoughts What to Get

I have a WC II and a Veteran Shorty in .25. I practice on targets in my field and do pesting for a couple of dairy farmers. Some of the pesting is better done at night inside a barn. However I do not want to put holes in the farmer's roof when I miss, and I know I will. I don't want to change calibers. Stuck on the .25 and have many tins of pellets.

I initially put in a hold for a Dreampup with carbon fiber bottle. That was months ago and FX has some concerns about the connection between the bottle and the innards of the rifle. I am thinking and hoping I can take the power way down, put the X sight on whatever I choose and do waste to some Starlings and Pigeons soiling his feed. I took a good look at the Dreampup and it looks almost identical to the WC II and I think would be pretty much the same except for the adjustment range.

Then I saw the Dreamlite with carbon fiber bottle and they are supposed to have it available as a compact dreamlite. The compact is lighter than the pup and looks short enough (like the Veteran Shorty) that I could select another fine rifle with some distinct differences from the WC II and still have it highly manueverable inside a barn.Your thoughts would be appreciated.

By the way...neither of those two choices are available now and will be a deposit and another long wait.
