Favourite threesomes

The top FWB Sport was produced by Beeman and presented to one of the two owners of Manchester Air Guns who sold it (and regretted it. ) for services rendered - the selling of Beeman products through their shop.

1) The FWB Sport.
2) .20 is good IF you can find the right pellet as choice is restricted. (Super Field in this case.)
3) Exacts.

The lower to (124 & 127) both have Maccari kits fitted and Apel o/p mounts and Tasco 615FM scopes. .

The mounts for the Beeman are Apel q.d. type which swing off and on and only require a small amount of adjustment to be back on zero (1/4" @ 30yds.)

Thanks for that, Ian.

When you say 'produced', I presume you meant acquired or did Beeman manufacture the rifle under licence for FWB? I wonder why they did not present one of their own rifles instead! What a magnificent specimen it is.

Any type of Exacts for your .177 45? I did a quick search and found numerous varieties under JSB Exacts and am rather keen to settle on one particular type, without trying numerous. With .22, I find that if one variety does not work well, it probably will with another rifle but, for .177, I only have the Original 45.

I did not understand your point about adjustment to the mounts returning them to zero. I can understand the zeroing in of the scope but not the mounts; I am of course on something of a learning curve on this site so have probably missed something!

Beeman, according to his catalogues that M.A.G. provided, supplied after market parts to modify the standard FWB Sport plus other rifles (HW35/80 etc.). The rifle I own has a Beeman walnut stock, back sight plate etc. .

With regards to the mounts. When I removed the scope from the rifle using the Q.D. mounts, which takes just a few seconds, on replacing the scope the point of aim only varies slightly. (1/4" @ 30 yds approx.)

The Exacts I use are JSB.

Thanks Ian. I am now better informed. I had no idea it was possible to obtain such mounts - very useful too if one is alternating between open sites and a scope. I will keep this in mind.

Re the pellets, I discovered there were various types of JSB Exacts, ie Exact RS, Exact Diabolo, Exact Diabolo Heavy and perhaps one or two more. Can I ask which one you use, which suits your .177 45?

Many thanks.
Andrew.

I wouldn't go out of my way seeking the Leupold 2 piece Q.Ds as they are VERY expensive.

The pellets are JSB Exact but then again Ive not tried any of the others.

Thanks Ian. I shall raise these issues when I next visit the gunsmithy!
