I attached a palm rest, and shot it offhand some this afternoon. Wind did not help much, but the palm rest helps me hold that heavy rifle much steadier.Those rifles are a pure joy offhand. Looks fantastic.
Late reply to this, but I agree. I have been supporting Mr Slade with these old FWB's over the last few years, Two pistols and three rifles now, and one Diana Giss pistol. A FWB150 is supposed to be shipped back to me tomorrow.David rebuilt my FWB 300 S. She shoots like new. These old masterpieces must live on!![]()
Congratulations!Yes, I lucked into this one, most seem to have those laminated stocks which I will concede to be more stable, but nothing compares to the beauty of a good piece of walnut.
I shot it a little today. My shooting is outside and I did manage at 10 yards to get 3 shots through the same hole before either the wind got to me, it was moving the pellet or making my target move some , still a one hole 5 shot group just larger than pellet size.
