Its just how woogie man described it. It shoots nice . Sweet trigger . I got to shoot 10 pellets before the skeeters tried to have me for supper. I took a few photos of it beside my hw-55 a fine pair of 10 meter guns

I know my FWB 300s loved the JSB 8.44's

here's a 10m target

woogie_man · « **Reply #10 on:** September 25, 2013, 11:52:10 PM »

Oh yeah it will shoot. This was at 10m with the match sights.
After coaching my wife a little bit she was able to split playing cards in half as well.

Dang! Robert - looks like one sweet shooter

I have never shot a FWB 300 but someday I hope to snag me one of them.
Hopefully those skeeters will let you be so you can have your shoot off.

Great pair of rifles there, Robert! My FWB 300S mini is my most accurate rifle. I shoot mine out to about 20-40 yards regularly off my back porch. I have it scoped at 9x so I can see things at long range. I use it to trim my vegetation and sniP off leaves from trees and bugs off the barbed wire fence. If you thought your HW55 was mellow and accurate, well the 300 is going to bring it to a whole new level. I'll be interested in hearing how you think the two compare.

NICE score, Robert. Anxious to see some groups and comparison to the 55.

Welcome to the 300 club Robert.

Are you going to shoot it standing or off a bench?
If standing, get a back belt from Home Depot. The belt will help protect your lower back. I use a belt whenever I shoot my match air rifles.

robert w · « **Reply #16 on:** September 27, 2013, 08:19:08 PM »

its going to be a bench gun. we both made a trade in eachothers favor. im getting accustomed to it fast . I did shoot my reset target some more today and had my hw-55 . shooting them both at 20 yards both were hitting about the same place on the paddles. I paint them red every time it gets hard to see . however the fwb has a little more power as the hw wasn't setting the paddles up but hit every shot, the fwb was sending them over on the rest bar every shot. the reckord trigger is fine but the fwb is great . I like both guns but the fwb trigger is the cats meow. when I get better suited to the fwb I will shoot some paper. now I need to find a set of sight inserts for the fwb . I prefer a straight post insert .

Robert,

There is a FWB 300 group on Yahoo.
I do not know how active they are. It has been a while since I was there, but there are a few quite knowledgeable guys that can help you with questions.
As for the sight inserts. A post insert might be hard to find, as the 300 were for target shooting normally done with aperture inserts. This is not saying that someone did not make post inserts for it, they might have. I just do not recall any.
On your other post, I pointed you to Champions Choice as one source for inserts. It has been a while, so I do not know who else carries inserts for the 300.

Yes for target shooting, you really want a target trigger.
As good as the 300s trigger is, the latter rifles have even better triggers.

Tip.
Pull the 300 FIRMLY into your shoulder when you shoot. This allows the sledge to properly recoil, to give you the recoilless feel.

I looked but they seem to be out of business so to say. their site wont open up for me but anyway im getting familur to her a lot . im shooting my reset at 25 yards now and if I miss its me not the gun ... cant use that excuse at all , not like I did with my old crosman quest or my gamo big cat either . its just like shootin my Diana 54 in a smaller package . I think of it as a mini 54 . that is a fine pair to shoot too
