   Anyone own or have experience with one?

They look the goods, and seem well thought out.

Great that FX has added a fine looking, traditional style rifle to their line up for a change! The timber stock model looks spec!

	I would buy one. I got myself a cyclone a few months ago, given the choice I would get a streamline. If I knew they would be available so soon I would have waited. Plus they are a couple hundred cheaper.

	Did you buy the cyclone new? Had it in my mind that you picked it up second hand. Wood or synthetic stock?

	I got a 177 new, synthetic stock, but scored a used 22 synthetic stock for a really good price. I couldn't resist it. Still paying for that purchase too. 😮 Planning on making a laminated stock for one of them soon. Put a reg in the 177, changed valve spring and drilled transfer port as per guide line from Rob Jane regulators and great results straight away. 80 good 12 foot pound shots from a 150 bar fill.

	sounds awesome. Mine has the synthetic stock but the foam insert bits are peeling away now and I'd like to look at a new stock for it. The FX stocks look pretty good, especially the thumb-hole one. What power setting have you got it on for 12 ft/lbs? Is it your target rifle?

	Low power is around 6.5 fpe, mid 11.8, and high about 15 fpe. I use jsb rs exact for low which is perfect for sparrows in super markets, and h&n barracuda for mid setting. It's mainly my working gun, but I would have to say its getting more accurate as time goes on, definitely like shooting it. Yea rubber grips wearing too. Half the reason why I am going to make another stock. Is yours 177 too? What pellets do you use?
