FEINWERKBAU SPORT and the ANSCHUTZ 335

[red bob]

this is the sort of discusion that i like no irritable know betters with more opinions you can shake a stick at.the comparisons here all strike a chord in one way or another but being a dyed in the wool 124 lover would naturely find in its favour,just as apoint of interest if you reduced the power output to match the annys would that make it a fairer contest?.incidently the fwb due to its length could more likely suit the longer limbed amoungst us and make it better balanced as a result where as the anny is more of a universal fit to the average physicue.just out of curiosity i wodered how compatible orig45 parts would be to the fwb? bearing in mind dreaded replacement parts shortages later on.
btdt comment visa v the best gun is the one that suits the individual shooter is about as near to the truth as makes no differance.

I wouldn't get rid of my Anschutz as it is a great springer and a good fit for quite a few people. I also like the fact that it doesn't have a safety. However, my 13 year old son, preferred the Sport straight away and the reason I have two. Another reason he might have preferred it is that my Sport had had a basic tune.

The Sport is also so easy to cock, the Anschutz similar, which to young guns is a real boon. Both are light weight; a lbs or so does make a difference. Young shots need as little weight as possible. Webley and BSA were the right weight but just couldn't touch them for best accuracy; they only beat them on price. As a young gun then, 80's, it was the Sport 124 that I saved up for and bought. My Sport beat the pants off any Airsporter or Vulcan at range. If you didn't want, or could handle, a lump of a HW or Original 45 then there wasn't anything else. In their day they were better than the competition for weight, ergonomics, trigger and accuracy.

Funny just how good they are if they can still hold their own.

What modern springer is their equal? This is one area that I haven't a clue.
