    Hi Lewis,

    I have a 300S and a Model 75.

    Both are very good and just as accurate as each other - so if the Model 75 you have found is a good price and you are happy with it - go for it!

    You will not be dissapointed.

    Sorry, can't give a comparison, but true lefty FWB 300S's are well worth waiting for, mine is a joy to shoot, trigger is as light as my Airwolf (and that's electronic.....)

    i too was looking for a fwb300, but i got offered an original 75, no regrets at all,honest, they are a superb rifle,
    the trigger can be set as light or as heavy as you want it, perfect ballance ,accurate beyond beliefe ,maybe a tad weighty?but im a strong guy go for for the original 75 you won't be sorry.
    i am the master of suspense;but?

    I've shot bóth. I favour the 75! The FWB still has outside movement, the 75 doesnt.
    Also, the 300 twanged a lot, the 75 didnt.
    A joy to hold still too, the 75!
    Only downside of the 75 is that theyre lots of hassle to service (Giss system). Its easily damaged too, especially those pinioncap threads.
    FWB is easy to service.
    Both equally accurate ofcourse
