FEINWERKBAU SPORT and the ANSCHUTZ 335

[Gareth W-B]

I don't own an Air Arms Pro Sport which is the rifle I most want to compare all the above with.

I do and, without wanting to upset the apple cart I don't favour it over my tuned Sports or Omega. .

don’t even start me on the pro sport (had one hate them)

Agreed. Move over MALLY -- make room for me in the bomb shelter.

Sorry I.J. and Mally my friends, but I own a ProSport .177, and although I don't like Air Arms as a company, I have to say I rate it very highly. It performs perfectly and is incredibly accurate and over the last three month since buying it off Paddy, has become my second favourite sub 12ft.lb springer after my Omega (and just ahead of my aforementioned .177 LG335 ). No good for stalking however, as are a pig to load on the move (unlike a good old fashioned break-barrel), although the weight that people always moan about does not bother me a jot . Now where is that bunker you mentioned as am about to cudgel my way in and getcha . Ha ha ha. Atb: G.

Gareth - I think even you will admit that there is a slight build and physique difference between us. Whats of no weight consideration to you means I, as a fully paid up whimp, can hardly lift the damn thing. Theres also the 'thing' about the squared cocking lever, its lever pivot wear and the fault with part of the cocking slide coming loose.

You will find me in the bunker hiding behind Mally.

... Hi Ian, marginal difference in my favour I grant thee (hee hee hee) ...

Theres also the 'thing' about the squared cocking lever, its lever pivot wear and the fault with part of the cocking slide coming loose.

Swiss-filed a .5mm chamfer all around the lever to lessen the 'cutting' effect of its edges on my fingers (standard mod which works and if done well, visually you can't tell ). Will replace the lever pivot nylon bush every 24 months as recommended (quick, cheap and easy like me ), and having an engineering background I check all screws are tight on my rifles while oiling and cleaning after use . Finally, no need to hide behind our Mally as I vill be hiding in zee bunker with you like as not as the FWB Gestapo are after me according to the p-m they sent upon reading my first post on this thread (post #3), so I'm hiding with you ha ha ha. Merry Christmas. Atb: G.

I wonder. Can you get a three man (well, two man and a wimp ) sized bullet proof anorak.

I own a tuned FWB and a tuned Annie 335.

FWB +: lovely bluing and ergonomics. Doddle to cock. All the power you need.
FWB-: Trigger adequate but not brilliant. Barrels can allegedly droop. You can fit an aftermarket lock but then can't use open sights. Tricky to strip.

335+: Flat crown on muzzle (I like that). Easy to strip and service. Brilliant barrel lock.
335-: Needs a lot of tuning to get full-power. Stock looks a bit square but works adequately. Can have weld-problems that need fixing.

Both brilliant pieces of machinery.
