Steve I love the review.
Last month your reviews forced me to empty my pockets on a .25 cal FX Wildcat. The FX Streamline was most definitely the other option but I'm an impatient kind of guy and absolutely no one had them in stock with the synthetic in .25 cal so I went ahead with the Wildcat in synthetic stock. It was an awesome choice.
The weight of the Wildcat was just perfect for me. Very similar to the Streamline too. Of course, being as impatient as I am I had also purchased a Kral Puncher Breaker for my son too because of the lack of stock of the Streamline but I didn't realize how heavy the Breaker was in comparison to the FX.
The Kral is an anchor in comparison for a small lad. I'm feeling like he's going to be trying to grab mine every time we go out for a hunt or plink, that is, if he could force it out of the vice like grip
I also think that the .25 cal of the Wildcat is maybe just a little too much for a "small" 13 year old. I destroyed my .22 trap targets with about 4 shots, now that totally blew me away. Although, with a very thick slab of wood backing my targets now, I've managed to put a few hundred pellets through the barrel in a week and the thing is a Laser.
So if the FX Wildcat is anything to go by, the weight of that FX Streamline coupled with the .22, FX scope and that accuracy, it most definitely seems like a perfect match for a young shooter like my son.
I'm sure I'd be spending way too many hours feeding it pellets too. Another nice thing about the .22 is the price of that lead
You get double the shot count for the money.
I'd love also, to put the FX Scope along side my Tango 6 2-14x40 FFP (paired to the Wildcat) and Bushnell Elite tactical 3-12x44 FFP (paired to the Kral). The FX scope looks equal to the challenge.
