I wouldn't say it's overkill for squirrels. At 30 FPE it would be great for laying out tree rodents. Even if you did think that's too much energy, you could tone it down with the power wheel. Best of bother worlds

If taking humane shots is the priority then a 25 is the way to go for squirrels. My 25 cal guns stop them instantly almost every time where as they take a while to die almost every time with my 22 cal guns. My 22's get the job done but there is an obvious and meaningful benefit to a 25. Squirrels are tough.

This is an odd response if you watched Steve's video. It seems that 30 FPE is a very good level for knocking down tree rodents even for eating purposes. And, you can tone it down to 20 or 10 FPE by using the power wheel. Perhaps you were talking about price point of around $1000?

The weight is the second best selling point to me! The first is the fact its an FX! Great price point as well to get into the FX market.

I've been tossing around the idea of grabbing one of these as my first PCP for quite some time. Impressed with all the reviews I've seen so far. As far as this video, I bet the 100 yard group would have been much tighter if Steve hadn't hand-loaded that last pellet

FX guns have been haunting my 'want-factor' for some time. At my age & with this arthritis, pumping up one of these guns up manually is out of the question....getting tanks refilled to have around seems out of the question also because we live in the middle of an empty county.....so, I guess I'm looking at a compressor and a nurse tank or two. This gun is pushing me over the 'thinking about it ' ledge right into the 'investing in it' mode!

It's great to see even the high end companies coming out with more and more affordable guns for the "common folk". But it doesn't seem like they skimped on anything. They did this thing right.

Great video. I am a believer of anything FX makes. I personally own the FX-Impact and the FX-Wildcat. My next one might be the streamline but it will
definitely be from FX.

Steve does an awesome job with his reviews. I was shopping the Streamline just over a week ago. Impressive shot count, excellent accuracy and everything else you'd expect from FX. Great rifles.
