Hello AirgunNation Peoples,
I’ll make this plain... This here’s a one week review of the FX DREAM-PUP. Including some pictures of added accessories, modifications, my max tune setup, performance, and accuracy information. Hope you guys can dig it!
ACCESSORIES:
- FX Airguns 33” hard case
- Hawke FFP Sidewinder
(4-16x50)
- FX no limit mounts
- Sling Studs / Sling
- Pic Rail
- (1x) Extra Dreamline/Crown .22 Magazine
- Dreamline / Crown Single Shot Tray
MODIFICATIONS:
Well, owning a FX Streamline (.22), Wildcat MKII (.25), and Crown (.25) I have gained experience in tuning and modifying the FX brand of guns. I like customizing them and I also know what velocities/energies I like to shoot JSB’s at (mid-900’s fps). So, easy for me to make modifications because I’ve done it before and know ultimately what I want to do. Basically, I know what makes these guns tick (always start with a good patch-worm barrel clean). So the first two days of owning this Dream-Pup was “go-time” for my mods and tuning! Yayyy! My labor of love, I customize and mod/tune every airgun I own! First and simplest was carbon fiber wrap the barrel shroud and air cylinder. Purely cosmetic, just my style. Black on black... Sexy isn't it? Lol! Next, sling studs / sling, and pic-rail a must for my PCP’s. Third, a 300 bar Wika gauge from HumaAir for the air cylinder. See, in the past I have replaced all FX gauges with these on my other FX guns, luckily I had one extra / spare gauge just looking for a home. So Dream-Pup, you got it! They’re just of better quality and more precise than the OEM gauges.
TUNING / PERFORMANCE:
Now, I’ll get to the good stuff that matters. How does this “Puppy” shoot? Well, of course you shoot a new gun over the chronograph before you start changing everything. Out of the box with a factory 120 bar AMP regulator setting, on transfer port setting .25/.30, and hammer spring tensions control on MAX she shot JSB 18.13gr at 895 to 900 fps. For 32 fpe, exactly as advertised which is awesome. From experience (FX Streamline) I know that JSB 18.13’s fly nice and flat from a zero of 20 yards out to 45 yards at 920 to 930 fps accurately. So that’s what I wanted the Dream-Pup to do. To make a days worth of tuning short, I simply raised the AMP regulator pressure (counter clockwise) to 130 bar, and made the necessary hammer spring tensioner adjustments to efficiently and harmonically reach a consistent 930 fps for 34 fpe... Beautiful!!
ACCURACY:
Pictures speak for themselves. Shots @ 25 yards and 50 yards, all outer bullseye groups are 5 shot groups and both center bullseyes are 10 shot groups. On the 25 yard target, the Pup was shooting 1/2 inch to the left, so before shooting the 50 yard groups I gave the Hawke scope 3 clicks to the right. All shots taken off trigger sticks.
CONCLUSION:
All the hype, I’m talking about “all-of-the-good-hype” around this gun is absolutely deserving! It’s not BS.. This is the smoothest little gun I’ve ever shot. Trigger is set perfectly light, and is really simple but brilliant the way they did the linkage. The DonnyFL FX edition is boss! Everything on the Streamline I loved is enhanced in a good way on this airgun’s action. It’s like a Crown, Streamline, and Wildcat made a baby. The rearward cocking lever took one day to get used to and it’s not a problem... Really! In fact, it is so smooth it’s actually a pleasure cocking the gun and that is not an exaggeration. It’s not meant for speed silhouette, but critters will be killed. Swish FX, nothing but net! Can’t wait for the “DREAM-PUP BOTTLE KIT”!!
