Diopters....HELP.

[Feinwrk Dave]

I'm trying to find a site that offers a choice of diopter sights.
I've spent the past couple of nights surfing the net, but not much choice. Can anyone offer me directions.....
Many thanks
Dave

I've just bought a FWB 300 s with dioptre sights & was wondering ( as complete novice to these sights) what sort of sight picture should I expect?
Is there a good website to show how to adjust the sights/is the rear iris adjustable? My reasoning is I cant see how you aim one with no blade at the back? If any of my ramblings ring a bell with anyone, don't hesitate to rid me of my ignorance! Cheers Guys.

do you know the make of the sights i have a centra dioptre on my aschutz 22 and have instructions for it i could send you a copy if its any good to you but you will find that most companys will send you instructions for their sights if you ask them as for the view throught the sight that depend on your eye sight and the size of the hole in the rear sight has it got colour discs polorizer etc it took me ages to get mine set up properly

They are Feinwerbau, I have the manual but very skimpy on sight adjustment.

essentially it's a case of lining up the dots.

you want to be shooting the right kind of target at the right range... 10m targets like this



then it's a case of centering the target black dot in the centre of the foresight, which should be in the centre of the rearsight. The rearsight will be blurry, the main point of focus is the foresight.

Once they're all lined up, pull the trigger

If your rearsight is adjustable, play with it...smaller openings on the rearsight give better depth of field, enabling you to see the target against the foresight clearer, but too small a hole will tire your eyes.

The foresight normally has swapable elements to change it's diameter...this changes the ring of white thickness between the target and the foresight...4.0 is a good place to start...too thin and the optical effects will give you problems, too wide and it will be difficult to determine when it's central.

It takes a bit of practice to get somewhere in 10m, but it's highly addictive given a good attempt.

Thanks for that. I'll give it a go & report back!

it's perversly addictive. Hard to start with, but it does get easier with attention. And it's quite a deep sport as well.

Hmm I would accuse you of mild understatement I've just purchased
a FWB 300S recently and can't put it down!

Thanks for all the pointers on this too from me even though I did not ask the original question.

Exmoor Beast - I would be grateful for a copy of your manual if possible as mine came without one. I did manage to work out the principles myself but need fine tuning. More money to be spent methinks!
