FX Dreamline for WFTF ?

[travelbike]

Does anybody have experience with the FX Dreamline or Streamline in .177 for WFTF ? Wondering how easy it is to tune it down to under 12 fpe ? Also is accuracy comparable to the Steyr 100(over 2k at krale) or the Ataman m2 ($1700 at krale) ?

If the accuracy of the field target Dreamline is comparable at about $1.5K, it seems to be a good buy. What are your thoughts ?

Thanks for all your input.

WFTF guns excel when there ES is very low, require a killer trigger and good holding ergonomics.

Being the class allows and you WANT TO USE ... butt hooks, knee rest or hamster and have a rail on forestock the FX really does not make it.

The ATTAMAN M2 has an industrial trigger with really no adjustments but blade position & 1 stage travel. NOT a WFTF worthy trigger.



Just a bit of FYI

As it comes, the Dreamline/FT would not be a WFTF rifle as it shoots too fast and produces too much energy (18fpe). Would it be accurate if/when it is lowered to under 12 fpe? I can't say, but it's an important question. 

Anyone have one shooting at sub 12 fpe that can answer? Also, what's the price?

Was NOT aware of the Dreamline FT, never seen or read of one being used here in the states. That said, looks like the requirements are met for OPEN, but way to much power for WFTF as noted by previous poster.

Pretty easy to lower the power with the transfer port on Low, and a corresponding reg pressure and HST. What I don’t know is how accurate the gun is at those lower power settings.

Apparently FX is using the Aeron FT stock with the FX Dreamline action and barrel. Utah Airguns lists them. https://utahairguns.com/fx-aeroncz-dream-ft-airgun/

I found a British review of an independent shop matching of the Aeron stock and FX Streamline action and barrel. https://sureshot-airguns.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/ACZ-Streamline-Review-1.pdf

It seems like the British 12 fpe version of the FX Streamline is/was accurate. An option would be to buy a used Streamline or Dreamline and buy the Aeron stock.

Scott,

The Attaman M2S FT version (Daystate Tsar) has an adjustable trigger that can be made pretty good. Basically the same 2 stage design as MROD, RAW and others. I have one as a backup gun and like it a lot.

Dreamline FT is good, need a lighter hammer weight in some configs where you change calibers down to .177. I am truly surprised by the lack of knowledge by some know it alls!
