FWB 103 Air Pistol

[Bob96]

  Anyone own one of these German Air Pistils in .177 cal.?  They are expensive but said to be Very Accurate.

Thought about a Baikal/Izevsky IZH-46M. This Russian made .177" match air pistol will shoot more accurately than most humans can shoot and for $300 compared to the FWB at $1700 is definitely worth consideration. The 'izzy's' are so in demand most places have a very limited stock and often have a long waiting list. In my opinion the IZH-46M is a great pistol and you dont have to remorgage the house or sell your first born to buy one.

Not to say of course I would not want a FWB in my collection

Izzy...ditto.

I don't know much about the FWB, but in the right hands, the Izzy can easily keep up.  I've been shooting mine for a ~couple  of years now...no complaints.  Fitted mine with a scope for silhouette shooting in the garage...best 10m shooting you can get at home on a rainy day.  At $300, it's a real bargain.

Hey Chris, what scope you got on it? I assume its on a b-square mount also.

Yep the izzy has to be the best bang for the buck out there.

 Yup...B-Square mount topped with a Bushnell Duplex 4x.

The scope isn't anything special....but is does make the chickens easier to see with '50-series eyes.
