I'm looking at purchasing a FX Dreamline Lite (high-power - FAC version) in .22 with the 500mm barrel but have a couple of questions before I pull the proverbial trigger:
1.- Report - is the Dreamline "backyard friendly" at the lowest power settings? I don't have the option of fitting a moderator (prohibited in my country) so in the spirit of keeping good neighbor relations, I'd like it to be as quiet as possible. I have a Career 707 and even at the lowest power settings, it has quite a bark.
2. - Power Adjustability - can the high-power version Dreamline be turned down and tuned to shoot lighter pellets (e.g. 14.3 grain) in the 600-700 fps range? I will be using it to occasionally hunt small game but the majority of time it will be used for target shooting in the 20-30 meter range so lower power settings are desirable.
Thanks for any feedback you can provide.
