I just got this fine rifle from woogie_man and its got 1 insert as most peep inserts are long gone . its not from woogie man as its how he got it. I need a smaller center hole insert for my eyes . id rather have the full set . if anybody knows where I can purchase a set please let me know.

I think this is what you want. It is the clear insert, not the metal insert with the horizontal bar.

BUT you need to measure your front sight, as FWB had a couple different sizes; 16mm and 18mm.
I think my 300 uses the 18mm size.
Then contact Champions Choice and find out what size the small and large inserts are.
Sheesh they could do everyone a favor and put the insert diameter rather than small/large.
Oddly they have the large size in a set but the small size only in the individual inserts and a empty holder, so you would have to put the set together yourself.

I have a complete set of inserts for the R1. They might be the same. I will trade you the sights for the rifle. :P

Just to throw more confusion into the mix ;)........I'm not a big fan of the clear inserts. I really thought I would be, and I gave them a long try.....but they never came close to winning me over from the metal inserts with the bar.
I'm glad I tried them, though.

There are pros and cons for both clear and metal inserts. Here are a couple.
The horizontal bar on the metal insert is good to check your cant angle, if you hold the rifle with a cant. You can't do that with a clear insert. I hold my target rifle with a cant, but since I use clear inserts, I have more difficulty checking my cant angle.
On multi-bull targets, I like the clear insert, as I can see the other bulls. So I have a better chance of shooting the bull that I am supposed to shoot at, rather than the wrong one. Which you can do with the metal insert, because the metal bar blocks the other bulls on the same level as that bull you want to shoot at. Been there, done that.

naaah I keep you drool, its the code of the 300s owner . I had it at the local gun store today lookin at aperatures from lyman sights. somehow a tin of pellets off the shelf got opened and several shots were fired at the rough back storage area door, which lead to 7 guys sayin how much you want for it ? the most who shot it were dedicated powder burner shooters . amigine that ? nobody insulted that " bb gun" it got a lot of attention and a lot of when you bringin it out to the range? I think they all want to see how well it fares out in the open

If you have a lathe I have seen people actually make them. Though I did check champion and they did have a set of inserts.
-
I seen that think tomorrow if I get some time im getting in touch with them. I just prefer a littler window or a post aperature . thank you chris

Robert
You could also try emailing FWB to see if they have a post insert that would fit and would sell to you.
-
Robert, sometimes you can find them on eBay. Also, check with Brownell's. They sell some insert sets that might fit.

I forgot in 2 weeks we are having a big gun show. I will take my insert and see what I can get my digets on . I bet I can find something at the show. and its a reason to convince the wife I couldn't resist the cheep ugly gun in the back of that peddlers table . oh &^^& im buying again . darn addiction. not sure if it will be a pb or spring but it might be both
