I did a course at FWB factory Oberndorf Germany, they said be sure to use the correct lube its in a small white tube, Open cocking lever lube a tiny amount in the compression cylinder and work lever up and down but don't cock it, lube sliding cocking linkage and main hinge Take stock off and lube a ...

AirArms are probably equal to Daystate for quality and are entirely British made, but use Lothar Walther barrels. BSA PCP R10 and various other models in the range are pretty high end, although the Spanish company Gamo own BSA, barrels and other components are still made by BSA Birmingham England

Don't forget the ISSF weight limit for air rifle is 5.5 kg

Feinwerkbau say their 'white' grease is an acid free 'Synthetic' grease, They are concerned people will put the wrong type of grease in the rifle and over lube it, if in doubt contact Feinwerkbau

I know a couple of people who have changed from M-22 to M-18 foresight tunnels on air rifle

Looking at the bigger picture, Our sport needs to take every precaution to preserve the sport of shooting

I think the ISSF has shown concern over juniors shooting with to much back bend and twist, but I have no details, I'm finding the up right position much more relaxing and less painful as westernGrizzly commented on. Cant or no cant can be kept consistent with cant bars in the foresight tunnel.

Yes agree, stocks now are so much more adjustable you can reduce the back bend and twist quite a lot, I have had to adopt a more upright stance with the rifle and only a couple of degrees cant because of lower back pain. I have just increased my raiser block heights from 12-mm to 20-mm and it really...

Hi, looking at many ISSF videos of 10-m air rifle shooting over recent years, shooters, both men and women are now tending to favour a more up right position with almost no rifle 'cant' rather than the older back bend and twist stance with cant. Any thoughts

I prefer the FWB 700 and what about Pardini

Don't forget the ISSF rule of 5.5 kg max for air rifles

You don't see Steyr air rifles that much at matches, its the big 2 followed by Anschutz, Yet they dominate the pistol matches. Not sure if Steyr want to spend more money on a 10-m air rifle that is not that popular. In field target they are more popular.

Thanks, I think I will have a go at making one out of wood

I have a FWB 700 Basic, all wood stock. the cheek piece is plastic and ambi in shape and sucks, I'm looking for a custom wood adjustable cheek piece to replace the plastic one, any body know of any one who makes custom cheek pieces, preferably UK based,

Its interesting to note in the Olympic air rifle finals, Women's final, nearly all FWB rifles but most were the 700 which eventually got gold, In the men's final, most rifles were Walthers with the exception of Rocco Campriani who won gold with his Pardini.

The fore sight on the 300S is fixed to the barrel by a tapered cotter pin, with a small hammer just gently tap the thick end of the pin until the wobble disappears.

Its quite common to see on the 10-m shooting circuit air rifles with added weight (some times wheel balance weights) stuck around the butt area, is there a tech reason, as I would have thought this would make the barrel/muzzle end too light and will be less steady. As we know, 5.5-KG is the limit. I...

I see the plastic elements have cant lines, According to one article, I read, this system is also helpful to shooters who's eye sight is not perfect. Can you use M-18 and M-22 elements or only those elements supplied? Its interesting to note that in the Ladies air rifle final. virtually all rifles w...

The German Bundesleague sorry about the spelling run a very successful veterans class for bench rest air rifle, although its not quite bench rest, the shooter stands up but as a previous post said the barrel is rested on a sort of tripod, I tried it but could not stop muzzle saw from side to side, n...

In ways of the rifle book they suggest a small amount of muzzle weight to give it some inertia. but as most people have said, experiment to see what suits you.
I do think that a completely recoilless match air rifle may require a different balance point to a recoiling small bore rifle
