    FWB FWB 300 - What’s it Worth?

    I have a friend who has a FWB 300 that he is selling and does not know a fair price to charge me for it. I believe it is the base model, i.e, the comb is not adjustable. It is in relatively good condition, considering its age. The wood does not have any cracks, large pressure marks, or...

    First Air Rifle Scope for HFT

    I’m relatively new to air rifles and want to purchase a scope to compete in HFT. The scope I’m looking at offers a 4-16x 50 and 6-24x 50. The 6-24x is $10 more. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the 6-24x versus the 4-16x? I’d appreciate your comments. Tom

    N/A New to Airguns Shooter

    I’m an experienced powder burner shooter, but have a few “very basic “ questions about my HW30. 1. Is there a safe way to uncock the rifle or is loading a pellet and discharging it the only/best way? 2. Is cocking the rifle the easiest way to get access to clean the barrel from the breach? This...

    I’m new to air rifles and recently purchased an HW77 from Krale and would like to begin shooting Hunter Field Target and have 3 questions. 1. How many fpe is the stock spring generating? If in the future, I decided to detune it to 12 fpe. How much of a difference would it make in shootability...
