Oh my, robertw is going for some strange.

Better tell the Diana babies that this misfit is only there for comparison.

So....say what?

Oh....Miss Diana says to robertw;
"put your eye real close up to the sight....let the eyelid rest real gentle...OK?   Real gentle.  Then press and squeeeeeze gently on the sweet trigger".
 
robertw says:  "OUCH!  dangit."

Hehehehe....laughs the naughty little Fraulein.  Black eyes for the dastardly who dare to go strange.

How is the wood?

Now, now, Robert, be nice.

Robert hit on an interesting point.
The rear sight of the 300 is mounted on the sledge (same for any scope mounted on the 300).  So when the rifle fires, the sight move rearward along with the sledge, about 1/4 to 3/8 inch.  I have had a few coaches tell me that some shooters develop a flinch because of this rearward movement of the rear sight.  In my case I am concentrating on the sight picture and holding the bull in the middle of the front aperture, so I do not notice the movement of the rear sight.

The rubber eye shade/cup has accordian pleats so that you can put your eye up close w/o side light getting in your eye.  The accordian pleats would compress when the rearward movement of the rear sight happens.  But, since I wear glasses, I don't use the eye cup.

The first time I shot these rifles I flinched a bit, as I wasn't aware it would move that much.   

Though if you practice your form, and focus on your follow through you shouldn't really notice it that much.  You have much more to worry about than the rifle coming back at your face 

[ac12]

Actually if you are concentrating on your sight picture, you should not notice the rear sight moving at all.

haha we strike up humor. I let a friend shoot my 54 . I told him don't get right up on the scope. pop, ouch. he has a perfect ring in black around his eye. he looks funny. I smile. he says a few choice words. I laugh. he laughs. he then says you said not to get that close . haha. but that fwb is just a fine smaller recoil-less rifle just like my 54 is. either gun will stack pellets . woogie man's 350 will stack them too. it is never the guns fault but we say that to keep a clean profile . yes the goddess of hunting has a precision tool maker gun in the case. I translated fwb and that close to what fwb means

How you spell jealous.

[robert w]

Hahaha, hey robertw....I really did get a partial black eye from a FWB 150!!

I tried to see if I could see more clearly without eyeglasses.  Nope.  So, I just kept getting a little closer....
Boom!

I felt, and looked like a jackass for a while.
