I posted pics a while back when I first purchased this rifle. Here it is complete and now scoped.

David Slade did the mechanical rebuild and it is making just over 6.7fpe with JSB 7.87’s. The stock has been refinished and custom machined muzzle piece installed. The SWFA 12x is mounted on Sportsmatch adjustable rings which are zeroed and the rifle is hole for hole accurate and an absolute dream to shoot! The original open sights have been set aside in favor of optics for my old eyes. Not bad for a 44 year old rifle.

Beautiful! So how does it compare to the FWB 300S? Which produces a steadier sight picture through the shot, is more accurate? I understand they were direct competitors back in the day.

Both great rifles, but my choice is the 75. Beng a true counter-balanced zero recoil rifle, the sight picture is disrupted very little on the shot. I find it the easier of the two to shoot. Just my opinion of course, and I do love my FWB 300s!

masterpiece! The best trigger I've felt on an air rifle or PB. Insane engineering inside those rifles.
