FWB Some 10 meter fun

[Nitrocrushr]

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.

That is some fine shooting with your FWB300s with diopter sights!

Diopters are shockingly accurate with the right combination of sights and target

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. The top one is what I removed. Bottom one is what I installed along with the eye cup.

The 300S is an amazing rifle. Your targets are proof of that. For 10 meter plinking. I enjoy my 300S RB. It's probably the finest crafted airgun i own. It definitely outshoots my capabilities. Don't think I will ever part with it.

Mine currently has a scope on it but I throughly enjoyed mine with the stock diopter sights. Wonderfully accurate rifle. 5 shots though the same hole were the norm. Rested of course

Steve, Outstanding shooting!

Beautiful gun and NICE shooting!

From the look of things you don't need much help, lol! But 2 cents from an old aperture sight fan: the secret to using the magnifying iris is realizing that the lens is not a panacea. The size of the aperture is still the main key to getting clear sight picture and best depth-of-field. You have to work the iris's aperture adjustment and lens focus back and forth, adjusting small bits at a time, to keep front sight and target both in focus in whatever light you have, and take best advantage of the bigger sight picture.

You inspired me to put the diopter sights back on. Here’s 5 shots @46’ off the bags of course
