What's wrong with the FWB Sport?

[smallholder1]

the FWB sport is an all time classic i have had mine 32 years from new safety catch has never worked properly took it back twice when new gave up in the end,no excessive recoil very accurate and powerfull,have only replace piston washer once replaced spring once but put old one back in because it was shooting over the limit,and a nice looking gun aswell.

Springers are harsh on scopes period. The Sport is kinder than most and similar to a heavier HW 80 or 77. Either a scope is built well enough to cope with a spring rifle's cycle of recoil and vibrations (harmonics) or isn't. Two identical scopes might cope or not. The simpler the scope the better the survival rate. Many modern scopes built to a price hate springers though are fine on the pussycat pcp's. Its why collectors favour period stuff shown to survive.
