Hi Frank,
Like you said, when you get in to that level of air rifle, a lot of it is personal preference. Most important of all is how it feels. I've had the opportunity to shoot both air rifles and I chose the Steyr LG110. In fact, I really planned on purchasing the FWB 700 as I already owned a Steyr LG10P and wanted something different. After trying the two I had to admit that, for me, the Steyr was a bit more adjustable, fit me better, especially the squared cheekpiece, and seemed to balance better. Due to its "Stabiliser" system it has almost a "dead" feel to it when firing.
As for reliability, the rifle has functioned flawlessly. If there is ever an issue with accuracy it's my fault! I don't think you will go wrong with either air rifle, but as for the Steyr LG110 it is an excellent air rifle and I am sure you would be happy with it.

FWB 700 v Steyr LG-110
Hi Frank
Both these rifles could win you medals, even the world record [currently held by a Steyr LG-110]. Its up to you.
Along with Walther and Anschutz they are all great guns but each will feel different.
It is worth bearing in mind that later 07 production of the Steyr LG-110 now has a ball bearing trigger that has made trigger release even smoother. If you decide to get the Steyr, check with your Steyr dealer on this point first.

I own a Styer LG110 , and I am very happy with it . I like the takedown feature - I can get all my rifle stuff in one duffle . A clubmate of mine ( not typically an AR shooter borrowed mine , and shot a 587 , were it not foa couple of mental glitches and the piece being unfamiliar , he could have shot into the 590 range .
