FX Fx dreamline barrel droop (superlight barrel 177 cal.)?
- Thread starter Drgun
- Start date
I have a Dreamtac, .177 cal, 500mm that I bought a little over 2 and a half years ago. I had a few flier issues when I first got it so I got a CF sleeve for the liner. I didn't bother bonding it to the liner. Now it's pretty much MOA out to my max of 50 yards or so with JSB Heavies or Monsters. I've played with slugs, but nothing outshoots a pellet inside of 50 yards, so I don't bother with them in this gun. I've run DFL Tatsu and Tanto moderators and have no noticeable drop (I do not have to adjust my scope) in POI. I do not use a barrel band.
I cannot comment on it being better or worse than the "old model", as I never had an old one. But I can do this more often than not at 45 yards:

i would advise you against the dreamline with a superlight barrel, there is no way sto stiffen it and it Will POI shift every day even with a barrel holder, especially in .177

I have old style barrel( not superlight barrel) and i want to try superlight barrel. At old style dreamline barrel with cf sleeve my poi not shift again and accurary is very good with nsa 12.5gr at 100m. I ask because I want to try superlight barrel. Thankyou all

Would this advice of using a barrel band also apply to Crown MkII in .177 and .22 caliber?
Would it be as crucial?
Thanks

Haven’t used a BB on a Crown so I can’t say, I used a tensioned solid steel 25mm OD x 14mm ID bull barrel sleeve that doesn’t droop and so stiff —> used for bench rest only.
