FWB Scopes on 10 meter rifles

Hi Steve,
Here are some photos of my new toy. I pulled the scope off a couple days ago to shoot targets for the Casual Match on the Gateway forum so you get to see the factory provided sights in these photos. The two photos of the targets are from when I was using the scope. These are 5 shot groups at ten meters and 20 yards.

As much as I enjoy shooting iron sights I recently put a scope on my FWB 300 S. Originally I thought I’d just try it for a little while then put the original diopter sight back on. But I’ve learned that it’s a lot more fun to be able to hit tiny targets that I couldn’t even see before with the stock sights. I even moved back to 46 feet, the max I have in my basement. Where I live it’s the only place I have to shoot without going to the club. Makes this wonderfully accurate rifle much more versatile to me. View attachment 542030
Nice. What scope are you using?
 
I put a few different scopes on my CMP rifle.
That was a Veyron 10x. The high adjustable rings allow for minimal scope adjustment.

46 feet = 15 yards , nice indoor range .
 
I have no interest in scoping my 10 meter rifle because all I do is shoot 10 meter targets with it. That said, 10 meter sights are pretty much useless for anything except 10 meter targets. The sights limit the field of view to the point that it is difficult to find let’s say a chipmunk that needs to be dispatched. Damn, maybe I do need another with a scope. You guys are really hard on my wallet!

I have to shoot across the finished part into the mechanical room but it works for me. Probably going to be moving soon. I probably won’t be this lucky again. View attachment 543387
i have 7 yards in the basement and shoot through the throat of my band saw . Band saw is apx. the mid point in the range .

You don't need a scope - just need an eyepiece that lets you adjust the rear sight's aperture size to fit the real world outside of a well-lit 10-meter range. Then you will discover how marvelously accurate and versatile such precise sights really are.

Thanks, The 510 would definitely fit my needs. I would love to expand the usability of that Feinwerkbau.

Can you see the edge of a playing card or maybe a fly or similar very small targets at 50 feet or more? That’s where the scope makes my 10 meter rifle more versatile. If I were just shooting bullseyes I would never have scoped it.

Yep. Adjustable iris. I also have one with the 1.5x diopter and color filters. Honestly it gets a bit fiddley, but color contrast outdoors at different times of the year with different color backgrounds and light conditions does help some. I recently got a Gehmann 522 adjustable front sight iris, mine adjusts from 2.4 to 4.4mm others differ and go up to 7mm max. Even plinking I just center the target in that front globe sight iris., works great
