Just purchased a FWB601.!!!

Post by native hunter »

G'day All
I have just purchased a FWB601 with leupold scope from Usedguns.com, I think I was lucky to get it as it was very cheap.
I will look into going to the 10mtr indoor range at Lismore and see how she goes.
Anyone with any ideas on what pellets will work best.
Is it advisable to use round nose JSB that I have or go for the flat nose taget stuff.
Anyone used one and what are your thoughts.
Of course it will be sent to lewis for a once over.
Regards
Damien

Glad it was someone I know that beat me to it. So you rang 4 times before the shop was open.
I couldn't ring until 0945 when I finished my morning school bus run and I would have been surprised if it was still there.

If shooting it 10m the proper target slugs are the go. I use 8.2 gr RWS Meisterkugjn in my FWB 300s .

Enjoy your gun :mrgreen:

G"day Daisy
I rang very early and kept ringing till I got them and hoped it was not sold.
I was lucky.
He told me they have a remington 541T .22 with the same scope for $1150 as well.(bargain)
I knew this FWB would go quick and I was sure no-one would have contacted them before opening today as it was put on the site late saturday I think.??
I will enjoy. :lol: :lol:

Glad you got that too.
It worked out for the best for me as I have been chasing a Marlin 39a for lever silhouette. Mr. Tobler was keeping his eye for me. As it turned out a rep was in his shop and said he had some new ones, so Robert got one and gave me first dibs on it. Of course I said yes and I couldn't have really afforded both at the moment.

Some times things just have a way of working out for the best.

Good news all around.
