    FWB 65 or 90

    What gun is better ? FWB 65 with mechanical trigger or FWB 90 with electrical trigger ?
    For me FWB 90 is better but ...
    Someone has both models ?

    I think the FWB 80 has a better trigger than the FWB65 but I don't know about the FWB90

    I have all three http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Airs...l?sort=6&o=121 in my collection and consider the '65 by far the best. O.K. so it doesn't have an adjustable trigger, perhaps I am just lucky it fits me. The '90 can be a gamble. I have heard some have a delay on pulling the trigger. You cant go far wrong with a nice '65.

    I would have thought that I nice Brum' Hurricane should bear some consideration.

    Cheers,

    Too many guns, or not enough time?

    Me too, it is on my bucket list; I am sure Ian would suggest that a bucket is probably the best destination for a Wobbly too.

    The first real target pistol I had an all too brief experience of was a 65, back in around 1983.
    Them were the days...

    I too have all three, and love their subtle differences; really like the feeling of the 90, but the 65 is truly great too, the only thing I find with my short-tang version is it digs into the web of my thumb

    Bucket? No. Bin? Yes! http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Airs...l?sort=6&o=103

    I bought my first FWB65 from a local dealer a few years ago. It was tatty, very tatty, but cheap so I thought it was worth a punt. You should have seen my surprise when the first time I used it over 10m at the club it produced a slightly larger than a 5p sized, five shot group (low left). I have since bought another better condition '65 and sold the original one on here for what I paid for it. I highly recommend a FWB65.

    I always consistantly shot better with the 80, the trigger on my 65 never felt as comfortable. I briefly had a 90 but never shot as well so just stuck with the 80.

    I had access to all the FMB spring pistols fropmt he 65 then the 80 and then the 90.
    I know it is a personal thing but for me the 65 was far and above the best of the three. Looking back at the top shooters then, the 65 remained the most popular of the three until eclipsed by the CO2 / pre charged versions.
    In addition to shooting well it had the air of the old FWB quality - a bit like the ealry 300s air rifles had.
    Just my opinion looking back
