    FWB Help me decide - FWB 300 or 300s Junior

    Thank you Mike! The next question is... can I keep them both? The good news is that I'll be able to try them over time, to see if I have any preference, etc. The 300 sure looks like it will ride a bag rest securely! and that's mostly what I do. Trying to find a nice lightweight 12x now...

    FWB Help me decide - FWB 300 or 300s Junior

    Well, I bought both so I'll be able to try them both and find out for myself. I will say that I had assumed that the trigger on the earlier 300 would not be the equal of the Jr, but I was wrong. It is ounces light, clean and crisp. Very impressive. Though, Randy Bimrose went through this rifle...

    FWB Help me decide - FWB 300 or 300s Junior

    Thanks all. Great input for me! Now for the next question - what are they worth? Loosely I mean. Also, do I need to look out for any particular mechanical issues/signs of misuse kinds of things?

    FWB Help me decide - FWB 300 or 300s Junior

    Hi all, Long story short, I have the opportunity to buy a 300 and/or a 300s Jr. Both rifles are in very good condition and I believe that both have "low miles" on professional rebuilds. I am unfamiliar with them beyond a few goofin' around shots with a friend's lefty version (I'm a righty)...

    100 yard shooting - .177 vs .20 cal vs .22

    Yes they are. I could say that I'd be happy keeping pellets in a group the size of a pellet tin, etc. But I'm really just exploring what can be done. I don't have a standard I'm trying to meet or anything like that. Sure, I'll be shooting some paper groups too. But mostly I like the...

    100 yard shooting - .177 vs .20 cal vs .22

    BTW, that KYL target... the last one is 1/8"... There's no way I'm hitting that for real. It's so astronomically unlikely that I don't think that I could even celebrate it as a joke.... 😆

    100 yard shooting - .177 vs .20 cal vs .22

    Boscoe, I've been shooting steel at 100 with mid-powered springers. Mostly at 6" steel which is far too easy. Hitting small bits etc on the berm is fun, and you can see exactly where your misses land. 👍 I find .22 to be superior to .177 at 100, and I've started to assemble a few target just...

    100 yard shooting - .177 vs .20 cal vs .22

    Exactly guys - not for competition, simply for the challenge. And it is a FUN challenge to me. I have been having a ball with a couple of other rifles, but I keep thinking an R1 in 20.... but I always return to a fixed barrel rifle for that, which takes me to the 97. It doesn't hurt that I...

    100 yard shooting - .177 vs .20 cal vs .22

    Hi all, I'm seriously considering a new HW97k in .20 primarily for 100 yard, benched shooting. No competition, just smaller and smaller hard targets (think KYL/spinners) and the occasion fun session of slowly turning leftover clay pigeons into little specks. 👍 I do some of that now, as time...

    Beeman What does "select stock" mean?

    The outstanding beech blank in KWKs post blows my skirt up the same was a good walnut does. What a treat to get my eyes on that, even in pictures!

    Cheap .22 pellet recommendations

    Everyone will tell you CPHPs, and for good reason. Other high value pellets that I can recommend come from H&N - the 14.66 FTT's can often be had for around $6/250, and the Baracuda 18's for 7 or 8/250. I've had some good luck with the H&N Sport wadcutters too, that aren't expensive. They are...
