FWB 300 or 601, 602, 603

[DonC]

I have the FWB 300S, Beeman 400 [Diana 75], and the FWB 602.  I initially scoped the FWB 300S and the Beeman 400; I did not scope the FWB 602, mainly because of  difficulty in getting a new loading gate to modify.  So I shoot the FWB 602 with the OEM sights and decided I liked that so much I put the OEM sights back on the other 2.  I currently have a Gehman adjustable aperture with a 1.5X diopter and 6 colors on order that I will use on each rifle.  I am almost 70.  I like the FWB 300S the best, but find it and and the Beeman to be a bit heavy, for me,  for true 10M shooting.  The FWB 602 is a tad lighter and I tend to pick it up and use it more simply because of that.  All were competition rifles.  I had a custom soft adjustable comb made for the FWB 300S by my trap stock guy. 

As noted by everyone, all of these rifles will shoot very, very well at 10M.  I wouldn't sell any of them, but if I could only keep one it would be the FWB 300S hands down, every day.

Mike,
I also like adjustable rear aperatue. I also bought then for Williams peep sights. I still gotta try colored filters.

Have fun.  I do suggest an adjustable aperture if not shooting a scope.

The Heinz Reinkemeier animations on adjustable irises and etc are very informative.

Ctfish, that is a great site.  The adjustable front iris is new to me, but looks interesting. 

Thanks.
