About inserts

[JSC]

Hello,

I need help about inserts for my FWB 601. Now I have clear inserts (4.2 and 4.0), but reading about risk of rifle canting, some people said that inserts with lines (horizontal) are better. Where I can find this inserts or I have to put lines in my inserts?

Thanks

Hi, not exactly sure where you can find the horizontal interts... BUT... I had the same thing with my FWB (worrying about canting) and instead of buying the horizontal type inserts I took a thin felt and drew a line across the insert and made it level with my cant. Works well for me and its free!

Hi

Is your FWB 601 A 16-mm tunnel fore sight? I suspect it is.

The best way round this is to fit the Centra Score, 18-mm fore sight tunnel. It has cant bars fitted and is adjustable for cant. They do a FWB base for these. Its an expensive option but is the best way to do it.
It does mean buying 18-mm inserts but they are quite cheap.

If you have any metal elements to fit your tunnel, these can be adapted to make level bars.

Cut the ring out of the metal element, leaving the cross bars. Insert the lement into your foresight tunnel along with the perspex element. If you want the bars to be level, to match your cant, you can file the lugs that hold the metal element in place, so it sits canted in the tunnel.

Many thanks for your advice. I was reading more about this theme and I found people who prefers inserts with bars and other people who prefers inserts totally clean. What is the best option?

Thanks

If you shoot with cant, you need the cant to be constant for every shot, so a reference point such as cant bars in the fore sight tunnel is the way to keep a visual check on your cant. Move your cant just a few degrees off and the point of impact can shift.
