I seems that we have very close taste in air rifles!Originally Posted by HARRYMPOPE
Those older Match rifles are sweet. My lust is currently directed at a Diana 75. This is the hot-shooting, GISS System dual piston rig. They are amazing...just need to find one when funds are available...LOL
cheers,

I sold my 75 about two years back.The seals were going and it was a $400 rebiuld.The GISS is a pain to rebuild i heard so i didnt attempt it.It sure was a sweet shooter.

That looks a lot like the FWB 300 that I had back in the late 70's. Very frustrating gun to shoot simply because if you missed you couldn't blame it on the gun.
I have an Ace of Clubs that has 10 shots thru a hole less than .25 in dia. I shot this over a rest and was the best I have ever done.
I traded it to a dentist for a root canal. Big mistake.

I have one that shoots real well. I got it at a gunshow a few years back. Mine is marked Daisy, so at one time I guess they were the importers of FWB.
I have a left hand stocked FWB 300 and maybe someday I will be able to shoot it to it's potential. Good choice you will enjoy it.

No you won't,,, and neither will anybody else.
Incidentally the action life on those guns is purported by FWB to be 6 Million Rounds! You'll never wear it out either.
