Make sure you are putting at least 10-15 shots through the bore for each pellet change before evaluating accuracy. You could even pull a couple plain dry patches through the bore between each pellet change, then maybe 20-30 shots to settle things in, then test on target. Steve
Nice shooting Frank, and beautiful FWB SSP! I have my 603 with David Slade getting a rebuild. I did stand for a few shots after I put the new diopter on. I wanted to make sure I could still see clearly in a standing position. I would need a lot more practice for the standing shots😂 Steve
I tried to get a nice balance between the focus ring and the adjustable aperture but it didn’t work for my eyes for some reason. When I would fine tune for focus that was split between front sight ring and target, the front sight ring would have an ovalized shape which made it difficult for...
The rear diopter that came with the rifle had an internal lens with adjustable focus. I just couldn’t get it to work with my eyes. No matter how I tried to fine tune the focus it just wasn’t giving me consistency on target. So I removed it in favor of a standard style with no internal lens...
After making a couple changes to the sights on my FWB 300s, I decided to give an official 10-meter target a try. My indoor range is actually 11.5 meters, close enough. As much as I like my scopes, I’m really enjoying the diopter sights.
This rifle continues to impress me. Yesterday I made a tiny spot on the target to see if I could still center it in that sight aperture. Here you can see 4 shots through that tiny spot, then 4 more shots in the large stick on spot as I was slowly dialing in the windage to get things more...
I finally got to shoot my (new to me) Anschutz LG380 yesterday. Some tweaking of the diopter and I was ready to go. Here are the first 5 shots at 11.8 meters. I am very pleased with that, especially with my old eyes looking through a diopter sight. I have to do some convincing in my mind...
It was designed for the sole purpose of measuring the linear recoil on springers. I would doubt it would have been a tool you would want to set up for bench shooting. For that type of use I would have built it a bit differently. Steve
