    What springer did you shoot today?

    That's how I got my FWB 300s rifle back in the mid 80's.

    What springer did you shoot today?

    No argument about that. I have always been more of a rifleman, and with a pistol miss the ten ring more often than not.

    What springer did you shoot today?

    I think my IZH cost a little more than 1/4 the price of that Morini and I don't think the Morini would make me shoot nearly $1500 better.

    Never seen a Morini, but glad to see someone shares my opinion of the Izzy.

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Earlier this year I picked up a FWB 602 Meistergrade. That is one with a walnut vs laminated stock. I bought from a member here located in Hawaii. It had numerous dents in the forearm, so ended up paying about $450 shipped from Hawaii to Texas, then sent it right off to David Slade for new...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    I have a FWB 65, and a 80, both fantastic pistols, but the IZH is a better 10m gun, better sights and much better trigger plus easier to cock. I am not crazy about things Russian, but this is one area where they excelled in a moderately priced target pistol.

    I agree, the HW75 is much better to shoot than the 45. I like the way it fits my hand, but the ergonomics of cocking to me are still tiring. The IZH looks weird but is much easier to cock and the trigger is much better. Mine has the optional trigger that can be adjusted up/down on the trigger...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Firing is smooth, no recoil at all, but I find cocking not the easiest. I like my IZH 46m for a ssp type extremely easy to cock, trigger blows the HW out of the water, it is so good.

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Nice grain on that 30. I have been working on the stock on mine for the last few weeks since I got it. It's walnut, but came in looking like no finish and colors were med gray to almost black. I started with some walnut oil and it immediately soaked all I put on in a matter of minutes. I...
