PCP Guy gets a FWB300S

[Uglyjohn]

I guess I wanted to see what all the hoopla was about plus most of my Winter shooting at 25yds. When Jim Edmsonson dangled a really nice left hand 300S in front of me I jumped. It arrived this week (having survived a train derailment enrout from Ca.) and I had a chance to play with it some. Well all I can say is WOW! It just screams quality and for a gun that's older than many members of this forum, it's in great shape. The only problems I've encountered are FPS and mounting a scope. The shot strings average 565fps which might be a tad slow (not sure). All of my scopes are long enough to make loading a problem. I've got an extended dove tail to pic rail adapter coming. Hopefully that will solve the scope problem. As for speed, not sure if it needs to be resealed (Joe?). I'll post some pics when I get either the SWFA 10X or the Aztec 3-18X mounted.

The ones I have tested run about that. I think the last one I checked was in the 570s. Joe I'm sure has tested more. Of course the pellet weight can make that vary.

 

[Goodtogo]

go really big?

or shorter?

or in between?



I have not had much of a problem loading pellets but maybe my mounts are higher?

Does the lefty still have the cocking arm on the right side?

I'm just wondering if the actions are right/left or just the stocks?

 

[Uglyjohn]

As far as I know the only difference is in the stock. The cocking arm is on the rt. side on my LH stocked gun. 

 

[Lewis]

That sounds ideal to me. Let me know if you decide to sell it or if you hear of another good lefty.

What weight pellet was it you were shooting ? For me personally if it's shooting faster or slower makes no difference... Accuracy is main thing I look for in these .My personal rifle is shooting 610-620 with jsb 7.33.....PS how great of a guy is Jim Edmondson ? He is truly one of the gentleman in the sport !!!! 

 

[Uglyjohn]

Joe the limited testing I've done has been done with JSB 7.87s. I'll get some 7.33s and see how they do. As soon as I get the scope (mount type, location, height) mounted I'll see how well it shoots. The tall scope riser that I saw pictured on one of your guns would solve all of the loading problems (fat thumb, small space due to scope bell) but how about cheek weld? This was my first dealing with Jim Edmondson but I agree completely with how you described him. Great guy! The gun is exactly as he described it and his prices seem fair. I wouldn't hesitate in buying from him in the future. Uj

Had one. Great gun. Never shot it beyond ten meters but it should do at least ok at 25 yards. I remember loading pellets just a bit more difficult with the scope but certainly doable. I used mine to practice off hand shooting for silhouette competition.

Glad you got one, such fun. You need a scope with just over 220 clicks for 50m.
