Re: Which FWB would you reccomend
Since it has been so long since my first post I thought I would post an update. All the information I received from my original post proved quite helpful, so thanks a lot folks I really appreciate it. I no longer have bifocals as of nearly a year ago, that alone improved my shooting tremendously. In...

Re: Opinions on Daisy 887.
Thanks for the quick reply and answer. I had assumed as much, but of course you never know. I already have a scale I use to fill my 3.5 ounce tanks that I use to fill my vintage bulk Crosman rifles and pistols. I called up CMP a few days ago and had a pleasant conversation with Joe. Learned that alt...

Filling the Daisy 887 Question
This morning I looked at a few web stores that sell the 887 and they all suggest that you buy the Daisy branded fill station for the 2.5 ounce tanks. Do these tanks have some sort of proprietary fill end, or can you use a standard paintball type fill station? If they are not proprietary I already ha...

So...Maybe not an FWB after all!
So my buddies CZ 200 with a target stock arrived yesterday afternoon. So far I am very impressed. It passes all my criteria: lightweight, low velocity (7 joules whatever that is), and very scopable! This morning I was able to get the cheek adjusted and the butt is close, but I will clearly need to p...

Re: Which FWB would you reccomend
Andre I have looked at the pictures offered by more than one dealer of the 800 series and I cannot understand how it would be possible to install a scope on one. That cocking lever is vertical and quite long, (which equals tall when used), if it was horizontal I would agree with you.

Re: Which FWB would you reccomend
Still looking for the airgun of my dreams. I seem to desire a strange set of requirements. So far I have learned that my three requirements: lightweight, easy to scope, and low velocity never seem to coincide in a rifle. Today I read a post asking questions about the Anschutz 8001. At first glance i...

Older FWB might be easier to scope?
mtncwru I have thought about junior models what worries me is the unknown cost of extending the butt to fit an adult. Maybe it is neither difficult or expensive I honestly have no idea. If older FWB's are easier to scope that might not be such a bad thing. As long as it is a basic model, i.e. lighte...

Re: Which FWB would you reccomend
Thanks for the quick replies guys. Andre I agree with you that many of my guns are far more accurate than I will ever be! By the same token I believe that occasionally the inherent accuracy of some guns make me a better shooter. I found that when I started with the R7 my accuracy improved with all o...

Which FWB would you reccomend UPDATED 10/22
First, a bit about me. I am 56 years old wear bifocals, have a slight bit of Parkinson's and no longer have the strength to shoot my Diana 75U more than five or six shots before fatigue sets in and I must stop shooting. I am limited to shooting either down my hallway which is only 19 feet, or my gar...

been there done that
I have already contacted BKL. I forget the model # right now, but they do have a 14mm mount. I emailed them to see if it was appropiate for my gun. Their response was honest and to the point, guaranteeing failure of the mount, (splitting) after a short period. At this time they do not offer any moun...

13mm Scope rings? with a stop
I picked up an older HW50S a few months ago that has the 13mm rails, currently I have a Beeman sports aperture sight on but my old eyes sure would prefer a scope. I did find some B-Squre mounts that were designed for a BSA but once I opened the package I could see that the supplied "steel recoi...
