Hello everyone. I hope you all are having a wonderful time enjoying our hobby and sport. I wanted to give my “official review” of my newly acquired Sport model. Ive been thinking of how I would do this so Ive decided to break it down into three installments. First will be on the stock of this model.Second will be on the action of the Sport, and Last will be my over all thoughts on the rifle as a whole. So this evening I would like to discuss the wood stock and my personal take on it. For starters, the wood and stock finish is absolutely gorgeous. So let me start from the front and progress to the back. The front forks are nicely shaped around the breach block with a traditional trapezoidal upper cutback towards the open sights. Moveing back, the next is the stock screws. Finally!!!!,...thank you Jesus!!!!No more flat slotted screws. Diana does it, Weihrauch does it, and Feinwerkbau did it on their older spring guns. Drives me absolutely friggin nuts. Praise FWB for moving forward with tech screw heads!!! How many of us have let a flat head screwdriver slip and gnarl the head of the screw.?!?! Me too. Moving a bit further back, we come to the panels on both sides of the stock. I really like the fish scale scalloping styles checkering. In it’s original factory state, it gives a rather dusted plain look in contrast to the rest of the finish. I decided to spray the whole rifle down with Rem oil from an aerosol can and noticed the wood grain coming out in the checkering. So I gave the panels a good spraying and let me tell you, after a good wiping down, the wood grain in the checkering really shines through and melds very well with the smooth finish in the grain of the rest of the stock! Well done fwb! The same goes for the piston grip checkering as well. Moving back a bit further, we come to the action end bed of the stock where they embossed the words Feinwerkbau. Nice touch, but would have preferred a black or burnt wood embossment. Mine is a silvery colored paint. Even moreso, the embossment of “Feinwerkbau” on the action insteadwould have been more desirable imo. But it is what it is. Looking downwards we see the trigger guard. Plastic!!! Not really a big issue as far as I’m concerned, and I like the ‘Futuristic’ look to it and it does enhance the setback appearance of the trigger,...which is metal!!! Lols. But one thing I did notice is the fitment of the rear end of the guard. Under a flashlight and magnifying glass, it could have been just a bit tighter, but the fact that the rear trigger guard screw is an a tual wiod screw that tightens into the wood stock and not a steel nut like that of a record trigger configuration, i can give this a pass. Yet,..tech screws and NOT slotted screws. Again,....Thank you Lord God Almighty!!!The pistol grip itself is nice and shaped well, but for an ambidextrous stock rifle, i would have preferred a more vertical configuration with aSlight bit more palm swell on both sides. The reason i would prefer a steeper pistol grip is because of the next item back,... the dual cheek rests. As a lefty shooter that is forced to shoot some guns designed for righty’s,....like my HW 35, My cheek placement feels very comfortable and natural closer to action. This with open sights mind you. The Sports cheek rest seem just a bit too high for open sight shooting and I am forced to slide my hold/cheek weld further back on the stock. I can and will adjust, but it would have been really cool,...and worth the introductory $800 cost if Feinwerkbau would have made the cheek rest low and added an adjustable cheek rest like their ten meter wood stock guns or something similar to the HW98. Wouldn’t that be cool?!?!? I think so!!!! And finalky to the butt pad of the rifle. While the black spacer is a nice touch, the joints where the wood meets the spacer could have been a bit more closer in tolerance. For a sporter rifle, the rubber butt pad/stabilizer grip is sufficient, yet they could have went the extra mile and had either “Feinwerkbau” molded into the end of it, or at least the “A&W” shaped FWB logo. The last thing I wanted to address about the stock is the fitment to the action. Now I dont know if FWB makes their stocks inhouse, or outsourced to some other supplier, but I do have two issues that i noticed. Not reallt deal breakers, but some thing I wish Feinwerkbau would have taken a slight bit more attention to. First, the cross bolt that holds the trigger group into the action is over sized for the diameter of the compression tube and actually put very slight divots in the stock slot. I do plan to trim them back a bit once i perform a true tune to this rifle. The second issue,... when held upside down to view the cocking arm slot, the slot itself is off just a smidge where the cocking arm comes close to rubbing the left side of the stock slot. No noticeable rubbing on the arm but it is very tight!!!! Again not a game changer or a demerit for detention after school. The slot is narrow and I did notice this before i opened it up for the first time to grease the spring and pivot. Over all, this is a very nice stock. It balances very well and the design is on par for a rifle at this price point. The matte finish of the Feinwerkbau Sport is typical of todays rifles, but once put to use, the finish will wear in and the nice deep rich grain of the stock wood will really shine through. My 07 Diana 34 was the same way. She looks like a well waxed automobile now. Im enjoying the same with my 30 and 35 walnut as well. But Honestly, It could have been a bit more refined, but for the 5 bills i dropped for it, it is money well spent. I would probably be a bit more perturbed if I spent the additional 3 bills for an earlier released model. Lols. So this is my review of the new FWB Sport(er) wood stock. Your mileage may vary. I hope my thoughts of this rifle can help anyone out there that may be on the fence about purchasing one of these guns up before they are all gone. Good luck and happy shooting!!!! tjk
