I just got in a new FWB Sport. I spotted some on Champions Choice for $495, and grabbed one. It was listed as used, but looks new, original box and paperwork. Yesterday I spotted some on AOA but $695 so I am happy. I already had one, set up with a Hawke Airmax 2-7 scope, and am setting this one with a Gehman 590 compact rear sight andhave a Gehman 530 1.5x rear diopter on order for it. This one is much stiffer than my first, needing more than a quick snap to break open. I found the easy way was to grasp with one hand near the front sight, the other near the pistol grip and bump the bottom of the forearm near the hinge point on my knee and it pops open with no effort, Try to snap it open with one hand and it is nearly impossible, but it seems to be losening up a little.
I did stick an old aperature in the Gehmann sight and found it to be lined up with the factory rear which I had used it to zero the previous day, so started shooting cans and swingers out to about 50 yards right off, no paper target needed.

Wow, that’s a great score. Congrats. I don’t want to tell you what I paid for my first one. My second was used as well. Excellent rifle. Wish they made more. Crow

Well Done Jeff!
Any bang or twang, or smooth OOB?

Not too much on digital photography. I'm getting less tolerant of things in my old age and tend to get frustrated and mad trying to post pictures, seems like every forum is slightly different.

With you all the way on getting another Sport. I did the same when I had the chance and no regrets.
