Well....I opted for the FWB700 aluminum. Yes, I realize a tad expensive but I've found out from past experiences that when you settle for something else you keep having the "why didn't I in the first place" type of mind bender. I'm also getting the Hill pump for now. Checked out SCUBA outfitters in my area and it seems as though there is one which is about only a 20 minute drive form me although I haven't called them up yet. I'll see how the pump works out ( or works me out!) and then decide whether or not to invest in the SCUBA tank.

The reason I brought of the Gehmann front and rear polarizing sights is that I have them on my 300S and I love them. It's just nice to be able to simply dial in the aperture on the front and rear. I have no idea how well the sights are on the 700 but I'll soon find out and may be pleasantly surprised by them. Looking forward to getting it and setting it up on my bench rest to sight it in. When that time comes I'll let you know what I think but I seriously doubt that I'll be disappointed in the least. I'm sure it will really be an experience not cocking between each shot! Again....thanks for all the great and friendly info.

You said dial in the aperture...
...that isn't a polarizer.

I'm referring to the rear site. It is indeed a polarizing filter by all means. The aperture can be adjusted to both the rear and front site. It also has three color dial in filters plus a clear one on the rear site plus other colored lenses with different size holes (mm) for the front site. I know the difference between aperture and polarizer! If its not it sure seems damn strange that when I turn the rear adjustment polarizer adjustment on the rear site that the outside of the aperture of the sight gets darker or lighter depending on how much I turn it!
That would be called a polarizing lens! I can give you the specs. but it's all in German if you are in doubt.
