+1 on Krale. I live in New England. If I order from Pyramid it can take up to a week to receive my order. Order from Krale and I get my order in 4 days or less. Prices are soooo much better too.

I ordered an HW35, It shipped same day as ordered and arrived from the Netherlands to California in 2 days. I ordered a peep sight from AOA to go on it, it hasn't even been shipped still and it's been 3 days. I own an HW95 and was tempted by the FWB sport, so its very interesting to read your review and appreciated. If you decide to tear down the Sport, it would be interesting to see the inside comparisons/differences.

I'm not sure if you're asking me or the OP but this video that I posted the other day shows the disassembly procedure as well as the internals of the FWB Sport. https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=195059.0
You should adjust your Record trigger better.Should have a definite back wall on the second stage. -Y
ChrisI like the looks-via pictures never seen in person-of the Feinwerkbau-especially relative to the somewhat dowdy looks of the Weihrauchs.It has more than a hint of of ART DECO styling-ESPECIALLY the shape of the cheek piece.And LOOKS are almost as important to me as function and accuracy(I am not a great shot -so extremely consistent pellet grouping is wasted on me-but great/striking looks-please me everytime I take it outThe-your- TX200- walnut- I think has the Feinwerkbau looks wise-in respect to pretty finish of metal and wood-but the sleek looks-with art deco hints-very striking without looking weird.I would give the TX200 the nod looks wise-but the Sport is close in a modern looking wayThe TX200 shoots great-even for me-stare down scope-light squeeze-BAM- I am looking at a hole dead center of scope field (assuming my flinch/wobble/crummy eyes are no worse than usual)One last thing-both TX200 and the Sport have Lothar Walther barrels- I LOVE that comic book name- LOTHARThe shape of the cheek piece is most striking-someone spent time designing that shape
Nice write up and as an owner of both rifles as well as coming from a PB background I mostly agree with your assessments. -I, personally, prefer the Rekord trigger mostly because I have a lot of time on it but the Sports is excellent. -My Sport was excellent out of the box and while my HW95 isn’t super hold sensitive, at least to me, the Sport shot cycle is very rimfire like to me and is so quick that in my case as well it is super accurate. -I love the looks of the Sport but feel like the more traditional HW95 is the better “handling” rifle. All in all I love them both but if pressed, while I think the FWB is awesome, I think I would stick with the 95 mostly because I am just so comfortable with Weihrauch rifles and the Rekord trigger. I, however, “wouldn’t kick either out of bed for eating crackers so to speak” Take care shoot safe,Chris
IMO, both rifles need to be tuned to get a full comparison of what each rifle is fully capable of, I have not owned a FWB Sport, so I cannot compare, but I have owned a FWB 124 Deluxe, that was tuned by me, and shot very accurate, just my 124D, but I still would rather put my money on an HW for the cost and parts availability and after market support like ARH to put together a rifle that I know will shoot like I want it to, My down fall with the new FWB is some design issues like the angled barrel block, BIG NO NO for me like Diana Break Barrel rifles, to many long term issues! Un like HW's 90deg Barrel Block, among others, I'll stick to what is tried and proven designed, Like SG said, they quit selling them for a reason and I think for the cost and for what you get out of the box? I'll stick with the HW design
