FWB Finally got around to scoping my FWB 150

Does anybody think that mounting a scope on an FWB 150 might risk pulling the welded on (or riveted?) dovetail off the receiver?

Not with a properly mounted Sportsmatch... yes, no?

My lefty 300S match. I paid David Slade to reseal & reblue. I did the stock.
I would like a super fine reticle short scope because it’s a great shooter.

Lefty is pretty rare. Definitely in the $1200 club; as I have certain guns I wouldn’t part with for a dime less lol.

That came out great and I can definitely understand the "I won't let go of it" portion. When I first started getting into springers I couldn't believe how much some people wanted for them. A few years in and I'm like "Nope this one isn't going anywhere unless someone makes it really worth it"

I like the short scope, too, plus it's mounted low; but I'm curious if you get a shadow of the front sight in the field of view.

Scoped leftys it is.

Remove the front sight and craft a removable barrel sleeve if you get ghosting from the front sight.

Bought this rifle from Pilkingtons when they liquidated a large lot of club rifles.

The metal work was worn and patinated, and not really wanting to send it off to be blued, I stripped it all bare and polished the entire thing. The stock got a good cleaning and poly treatment.
New seals, bearing ring, and Maccari Arctic spring, breathed new life into it. The rifle loves 10.3 JSBs.
All in, maybe $225 and several man hours.

Sell it? Not a chance...
