Title: Scoping FWB 602???
Post by: Mtl_Biker on June 28, 2016, 04:34:04 PM

My FWB 602 is pretty much dedicated to 10-meter paper shooting, but particularly for the GTA 50 foot challenge matches, I'm thinking of adding a small scope.  But I'm stumped as to mount options.  The mounts I have are all one-piece and far too long to fit, and my scopes also are too large.  So I'm thinking of one of the new Hawke Airmax 3-9X40 AO scopes with etched reticle.  I'm afraid though that even with a high two-piece mount it might be impossible to load a pellet.

I think there are some here who have scoped their FWB rifles... Any suggestions/advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Here's a link to a post on the Yellow that might give some ideas...

Looks like you might need to investigate a short loading gate???

They may have the short gate you need.

Very helpful link... Thank you!!!  Looks like exactly what I'd need.

Just have to decide whether it's worth it or not (really only for the GTA 50 foot challenge matches).  I have other scoped rifles which are fine for everything else I do.  Maybe I should just leave this one as is, and only shoot 10-meter paper with it.

I scoped mine with the uncut gate. I used two 10 mm risers and high mounts. Works great. Saw an factory short gate on eBay but it was up to $75.
I have one with peeps and one scoped.
