FX Dreamline Lite Compact

[robs5230]

A quick trip up to a squirrel perm earlier saw a big female present a shot as it was approaching a feeder. I was on the way to the hide so took the shot from where I was.
The rifle mounted very naturally and quickly, and a lovely easy 21 yard stander saw the end of the grey with a a text book head shot.

My concerns over grip size and trigger pull, just didn't occur to me in that instinctive shooting situation.
I think when I'm zeroing from a bench, I notice very fine points about rifles, that just aren't really a problem in a hunting situation.

I'd say this rifle is going to make a very useful hunter.

Yes i have one, it was the tactic with the long cylinder, now converted to a bottle gun with a 300cc bottle and adapter. Its .22 with the 500mm barrel i have the reg set to 50bar which just keeps it legal. Currently set up as my ratting gun with a pard 008lrf. Nil problems in two years.

Took the Dreamline out to the club this morning for a zero check.
Using the Rowan loader with it now and it outshot my Regal, which is a fair task.

Up to the rabbit perm just before lunch and it nailed its first rabbit with a text book shot. The first of many

Its a very easy rifle to live with.
I haven't shot my Regal since I bought this

Nice write up. I've got one in .22 that's now been converted to a tactical with folding stock etc. (I bought it like this). I find the folding stock makes transporting the gun much easier in the boot of my car etc. I totally aggree that most other guns feel inferior after shooting it. Mines very accurate and whips through the magazines as quick as I want without issue. I find the larger calibre easier to load in the mags and can imagine the. 177 being a pain to drop in the right way, I'd probably get a shaker and loader. . You just need to keep a check on the main mag screw as it tends unwind itself, you can tell it is as the mag doesnt want to locate in the breech. Theres no barrel wobble as some fx, it's so quiet it sounds like it's out of air!! If i could only keep one gun, apart from my child hood webley hawk mk2 it would be this.

Not used the mag since the Rowan loader arrived. Its much more consistent with the loader. Now shooting 10mm groups at 55 yards and happy with that.

I'd thought about the TAC version for the adjustability of the stock, but the increased scope height above barrel, with the added pic rail stopped me dead in my tracks.

Noise wise, I'm now running this with a Huggett Snipe. When fired, it sounds like its broke, its that quiet.

I'm planning to thin my air rifles out now and this will be my sole pcp.
