I am a great fan of the FWB 65 and 300S, so it seems only right that I add a Sport to my collection to complete the Holy Trinity.

Before I save up for one, I would like to ensure I'm not letting myself in for a nightmare. I have read about the following potential problems:

1. Dodgy breech lock-up
2. Harsh, scope killing recoil
3. Dodgy safety catches

To what extent are the above problems true? How easy are they to remedy? Are there any others I should be aware of?

Is there a significant difference in the shooting experience between the .177 124 and the .22 127? Is one more pleasurable than the other? And finally, how much should I be paying?
