For those interested…
I jumped on this with what I thought was a low offer Sunday night. It was immediately accepted.
Rifle arrived today - looks brand new - in FX box. I was excited - here is my timeline for getting the rifle up and running. Its a shooter - set my high score shooting Masters card at 40 yards (not 30).
1:45 - FedEx delivers box
1:48 – Box Opened and contents confirmed, rifle inspected
2:00 – Barrel cleaned with Patchworm, Scope mounted
2:00 – 2:35 – Work
2:42 – Scope sighted in at 30 yards (5 total shots)
2:48 – Chronoed 1st 5 shot group (shots 6-10 – one hole @ 30 yards)
2:57 – Power adjusted from 921 to 902 fps during 5 shot group (tested how many clicks relates to fps)
3:13 – Completed 40 Yard Masters target (2 sighters) 179 6X with Athlon Argos – not enough scope

5:30 – Packed up and moved everything inside
I purchased this used rifle off eBay. It appears to be close to new. Seller included 3 new FX tins of pellets!
The Power Pup is a special Dreamline with a large 80cc plenum. This one had a nice short 500mm .25 barrel.
So, now I have three 500mm barrels for my 2 Dreamlines (.177, .22 and .25). I have one Dreamline stock in bullpup format and one in classic rifle format.
I like the 500mm barrel for FX rifles – because they use a non-traditional barrel that is so thin that I worry about flex/harmonics in lengths longer than 500mm.
So, I can mix n match my Dreamline between Classic and Bullpup format and swap any caliber onto either stock!
This Power Pup shoots lights out. Trigger has lots of slop, but I like shooting bullpups (i.e. my Prophets) – this thing handles very much like my RTIs – just lighter.
Summary: this sale is legit gentlemen, get em while you can !
