    New Review Feinwerkbau 300S 10m Target Air Rifle

    Hi,

    I added the Feinwerkbau 300S review the other day along with my Model 65 Pistol review.

    So here is my take on two oldish Feinwerkbau 300S air rifles.

    Find it here under Airguns :- http://www.cones-stuff.co.uk/

    Have Fun

    The 300s is just such a cracking gun. From 10m competition to plinking in the back garden. So easy to cock and such a pleasure to shoot.

    The Model 65 is a one that I hope to add to my collection some day

    Great write up as always

    good reveiw

    Hi there.Good reveiw,really interesting and confirms pretty much everything that i find with my own fwb 300s.Superbly built and super accurate even by todays standards.I'm a member of an air rifle league down here in south wales
    we shoot bell target and the 300s holds it's own against all the newer high tech stuff,even though some of the fwb's are near 40 years old.

    Nice review Mark. I'd say that the rifle you describe as having a beech stock is in fact in walnut, just plainer wood than the lovely tiger striped one on the other rifle.

    Thanks.

    Yes, I was a little confused why it looked so dark after stripping off all of the old finish with nitromors.

    I just thought that most of them were made with Beech stocks?

    Thanks

    No, I believe from what I've seen that most of the FWB 300 series rifles were made with walnut stocks with only a minority in beech. The 300S Junior version seems to have been made exclusively with beech stocks, although perhaps there's a some factory walnut 'specials' out there somewhere.
