FWB Sport 127 .22 air rifle -collectable and very nice

Got hold of this recently in a trade. I understand they are Very collectable and regarded as one of if not the best springer "EVER". I don't know if that’s completely true but it shoots nicely, accurate and powerful. I'm not sure if its MkI, II etc.. but it has the plastic trigger if that helps and it all works perfectly.

The pictures show where the varnish has worn but I used a flash to show it off more - less noticeable in the flesh. You could work on the wood but I personally wouldn't touch it as I absolutely love the condition of this. Its a lovely thing.

This was supposed to be a keeper but unfortunately a crap pay this month, 2 new tyres and a holiday next month means it's got to go.

I suspect this will be snapped up at £150. First PM gets it but I'll need it picked up fairly quickly.

Collection in person from Datchet near Windsor and proof of age required (18+)

The scope is included but I can’t tell you much about it other than it works.

I have just a couple of questions:
Have you had it over the chrono? And what are the groupings like at 30yds?

Reason: I'm not after a collectable as such, but if it would make a decent hunting rifle I'd be interested

Thanks
Rat

Hey Rat
Not been on a chrono, The rifle is new to me.

I haven't been to a range since about 20 years. I can consistantly hit the O in a cocacola can at about 45 feet (about the length of my garden) but don't know about grouping as you describe but I am confident you'll get a clean shot at the odd bunny or two.

Just a thought, I might consider a trade for an iphone 3g or 3gs as that would solve a seperate issue I have. If anyone has upgraded to the iphone 4 recently and are wondering what to do with thier old one???

I would love this..... but on holiday next month and just had my vehicle insurance reminder drop through the letterbox

i'll see what I can scrape together, may have to sell some of my gold, just need to look what the gold fix is at the moment ....

cheers, Mike

I can easily prove my age but is there any chance you'll be further North anytime?

 

[Peterlee_Paddler]

Tony isnt here at the moment, ist his son, he will be able to reply some time after midnight

 

[DanDan The man called Dan]

A bump for the day and a quick note that I'll probably keep this if its not gone by Friday.

 

[Peterlee_Paddler]

So will you be heading North anytime?

 

[DanDan The man called Dan]

Sorry Tony, I thought I answered this but I had a similar question on BB. I do usually travel north twice a month but I have nothing planned at the moment.

O.K I'm gonna Keep this (bit of a relief if I'm honest)

I've decided to relist this as there is something else I really want. I had load of PM's last time round asking if I'd post the rifle which I wouldn't at the time.

I've had a change of heart and will post this at buyers costs if you can find a carrier that will take it. It will come with a bulky camo rifle bag and a load of pellets.
