When a shooter reaches the world class
level they typically only look to one company to provide their equipment,
Feinwerkbau.
The FWB 603 is a next generation single-
stroke pneumatic. The cocking stroke was
designed to flow with the body. The large
handle tits the palm comfortably, and the
power stroke is towards the shooter, not
awkwardly away as some other brands.
Consequently, cocking the FWB 603 is
much easier than other single-stroke
pneumatics leading to less effort which
can raise the heart rate, tire the shooter,
and lower the scores.
One of the most unique aspects of the air
rifle is the laminated stock. This handsome stock is constructed from hardwood.
Each layer is cross laid to each other and
the result is a stock so rigid that stability is
assured regardless of humidity or temperature changes. Wood gun stocks absorb
moisture or dry out causing subtle
changes in shape and altering the point of
impact, but the 603 stock completely
eliminates this problem. There is even an
improved four-point mounting system for
the action.
l'he cheekpiece and butt plate are highly
adjustable, not only can the cheekpiece be
moved up or down in a full 30mm range
but can also be canted top to bottom or
bottom to top by 20 degrees. The left to
right can be canted 15 degrees and the
entire unit can be moved 5mm left or
right. The butt plate has a similar range of
adjustments making this air rifle a custom
fit to any shooter of any size or shape.
Feinwerkbau airguns have always been
recognized as having some of the finest
triggers ever designed, and the 603 is no
exception. Pull weight adjusts from
approximately 3.5 ounces to a bit more
than a pound, and there are adjustments
for pull-off point, initial travel, finger
length, and even lateral position. Now
both the trigger and trigger slack weight
are separately adjustable with small
knurled knobs located in the trigger
guard. Adjustments can be made with the turn of a finger, no tools are required, and
even be changed in the middle of a
match! A new dry-firing device has been
included for easy practice of position and
trigger control, and a lighter firing pin
gives an even faster lock time than before.
The 603 appears to have a long 25 inch
barrel, but in reality that is only a shroud.
The rifled inner barrel is only 16.6 inches
long with the remainder a wide, hollow
tube that does not touch the pellet once it
leaves the rifled barrel. So what is the
advantage of the short barrel? The answer
lies in shooter motion once the shot is
fired. The longer the barrel the more
opportunity the shooter has to move, even
ever so slightly, and to pull the air rifle off
the target. The barrel weights on the end
are moveable allowing the shooter to balance the air rifle to their preference.
With all these features, and accuracy of
0.04", it's no wonder why the FWB 603 is
the air rifle of choice.
