FWB 300S is here

[Royale]

 I finally got my hands on a FWB 300S, from a local guy at my gun chub that made it easy. It's not often for me to be able to buy a airgun in person, most purchases have been on line, a &^^& shoot.

Now to the gun it's in fair shape for a 42 year old gun, the gent I got it from bought it used from Beeman in San Rafael back in the early 90s and took very good care of it. The stock could do with a refinish but the blueing is great. It is very accurate but the spring twang has to go. Compared to my FWB 603 accuracy on par but the shot cycle and spring noise not good. I'm sure with a good tune the spring twang will go away, I hope. Anyway the first shot string and pics.

Wow, you scored!  That's the nicest stock I've seen on a 300.

Thanks I think I did good for a local purchase, no waiting for the brown truck and worrying about damage. For $500.00 I seen a lot worse paid more for.

Looks awesome Roger and it’s shooting healthy too. 

Here’s mine for more to look at...

Currently it’s wearing the diopter sights like yours.

Thank nice looking 300 you have there. I took the barrel weight shroud off mine now I'm looking for a nice muzzle brake and a short scope.

Hi Royale, Another congratulations to you for a great score!  Nothing shoots like and FWB 300S, with or without scratches on the stock!  I feel the same way as the others, it's one of my favorite rifles and one I'll keep.

Thanks Will I just mounted a Leupold VX-Freedom EFR 3-9x33 on it tonight and got it dialed in. I really like this 300 with the small Leupold scope fits the gun and my needs great. I need to get it tuned but I can't stop shooting the thing so much fun.

Don't know if I can, such a nice chunk of wood begs to be brought back into the light.

Hey Brett,
Your guns always look so good I almost want to buy one - Right Now
The muzzle brake looks perfect on that baby...

[fwbsport]

That looks like a Beeman Scope from San Rafael too.
And the diopter sight is something I wish we could still buy today for a price.
Or can we? Wouldn't they also fit HWs?
