Scope & Mount Review For My FWS 300 S Universal

[fsa46]

 Below are some pics of a Hawke Airmax 2-7 x 32 AO scope using BKL-253-MB off-set mounts on my FWB 300.

I can't say enough about this set-up. The Hawke scope has crystal clear glass, short enough to give anyone plenty of room at the loading port, love the AMX reticle, focus down to 7.5 yards, ( which is good for pest control off the bird feeder, lol ) and all functions work smoothly.

Using the BKL-253-MB off-set mounts sets the scope back far enough to completely clear the loading port and gives me plenty of adjustment for proper eye relief.

I give this scope and mounts a 5 star rating with an A+ set-up rating.

I'm a big fan of BKL Mounts but an even bigger fan of the FWB 300s. It's a bucket list rifle for sure. Yours is beautiful, has it been refinished?
what a classic piece of precision art.

The scope looks very close to the eye?

Thanks Higgs. Yes, it was refinished by the Gentleman I bought it from.

Not really. It focuses perfect and immediate when I bring it to my shoulder . If you notice, there is plenty of forward adjustment left on the dovetails should someone require different eye relief.

Thanks Joe.You really got me hooked on these 300 springers and I'm glad you did. Enjoy ALL your videos, very informative and I've learned a lot from them.

Yea I was thinking that myself. on mine I have it way more forward. well its a longer scope, that does cover the port a bit
