FX Dreamline Classic Synthetic .25 cal

Post by dashooter »

It’s been a long (ish) wait but it’s finally here. Image
FX Dreamline classic synthetic in .25 cal.
Having owned some high end European air rifles and centrefires, the FX is certainly right up there in build quality, fit and finish.
The stock while silky smooth as you run your hand over it, is actually really grippy when in your hands to shoot.
Still waiting for some rings for a normal scope (Bushnell Elite 6500 2.5-16x44) however am stoked that the RICO RL42 thermal scope fits perfectly (maybe a tad high for cheek weld but I can live with that).
I need to find a thin 11 mm spanner as well to be able to loosen the front air gauge and bleed it out to fit the power plenum. Only 2.5 mm thinner than my thinnest spanner but it was too much. Image
Have a heap of pellets and slugs to test out and also invested in a smaller CARM magazine (9 shots instead of factory 15) and a single shot loader. The 9 shot will be used when the thermal is on as the factory Mag is a few mm too tall (which I new before hand).
Can’t wait to get it out on some rabbits and foxes.
Video below is from the RICO’s first shoot last night on my .22 Hornet, the rabbit is about 40 yards.

Impressive looking air rifle.
The thermal scope seems to do the trick as well.
Should make a lethal combination.

Will have to wait till I have it sorted out. Still waiting on scope rings for the Bushnell Elite 6500 and the thermal scope mounts have it too high and I can’t get closer to centre than 11 inches below the centre of the reticle. Image
Also not sure if it will need tuning to get more speed and better efficiency.
It’s like a new dark arts. Image

Didn’t take long at all. Now I just need to find a supply of JSB Hades.

Rabbits hate it (and the thermal).
I must say it does make a very resounding (and satisfying) THWOCK when it hits. Image
