Beeman Precision Airguns

When a shooter reaches the world class level they typically only look to one company to provide their equipment - Feinwerkbau.

The Beeman/FWB 603 is a next generation single stroke pneumatic. The cocking stroke was designed to flow with the body. The large handle fits the palm comfortably, and the power stroke is towards the shooter, not awkwardly away as some other brands. Consequently, cocking the Beeman/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 rifle is the laminated stock. This handsome stock is constructed from hardwoods and hard rubber. 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. Feinwerkbau even tested the materials by holding a stock underwater for days, and it still held it's shape! There is even an improved three point mounting system for the action.

The cheekpiece and buttplate are now more adjustable than ever. 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 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 rifle off the target. The three barrel weights on the end are moveable allowing the shooter to balance the rifle to their preference.

With all these features, and accuracy of 0.04", it's no wonder why the Beeman/FWB 603 is the rifle of choice. It is this type of technological advancement that allowed this air rifle to win the first Gold medal of the 1996 Olympics.

Feinwerkbau, the people that produced the most amount of medals by any one manufacturer at the 1996 Olympic Games, (5 out of 9 medals), and had the most amount of competitors use their products, (68 out of 113 shooters), stay the best by being on the cutting edge of technology.

The P70 uses compressed air filled from a SCUBA tank* to 3,000 P.S.I. like the proven P34 air pistol. The rifle comes with one cylinder. An ingenious regulator fitted as an integral part of the rifle allows the cylinders to be changed while leaving your point of impact unchanged. The use of compressed air also eliminates the need to contend with changes in temperature negating yet another factor that can affect your point of impact. Regardless of whether you are a serious airgun competitor or just an airgun enthusiast, the ultra consistent velocities this air rifle achieves allows you to shoot through the same hole time and time again!

The Beeman/Feinwerkbau P70 is one of the easiest air rifles on the market to cock - just pushing the slide ahead with either thumb charges the firing area, sets the trigger, opens the loading port and blocks the sighting line. The shooter then loads the pellet directly into the bore, clicks the loading gate shut, aims, and fires. And with accuracy at 0.04" more often than not the shot goes right into the bull's eye!

The simplicity of the system provides an unequaled lack of distraction to the shooter, something that is critical to competitive shooters. In a match the rhythm of the shooting is as important as the feel of the rifle, and the Beeman/FWB P70 was designed so that the shooting motions are the same shot after shot.

The laminated stock provides the same full range of adjustments as the 603 does. Not only can the cheek piece and butt plate be adjusted up and down, but they can also be moved in or out and even canted as much as 15 degrees to the side. This unparalleled range of adjustments tailors the rifle to fit nearly all shooters regardless of size or shape. The new trigger unit also provides the same benefits and range of adjustments as the 603 assembly. The Aluminum stock version has even more adjustments to custom fit the shooter.

The ease and simplicity of the P70 makes this an outstanding rifle for men, women, younger shooters, disabled persons, three-position competitors, and anyone else interested in medal winning performance.

One of the most challenging sports in the Olympic Games is the 10 meter running target. Shot with airguns, this sport demands shooting a bull's eye that is moving across a 6-1/2 foot opening in only 2.5 seconds! And to top it off, the bull's eye is only 0.2 inches in diameter! Oh, by the way, all shooting is done from the offhand position and the rifle must remain off the shoulder until you see the target.

To meet the demands of this sport, Feinwerkbau has designed a special version of the P70 model. These guns have all the features of their regular counterparts plus these special running target features:

1. Special adjustable stock for heads up shooting.
2. A rifled barrel length of only 16.9" for a super short lock time which means less chance to "pull" a shot.
3. A threaded barrel sleeve which totals 33.7" in length for optimum inertia and balance while swinging to follow the moving target.
4. A dry-fire mechanism built in for practicing trigger control and shooting motion
5. A special short loading gate which allows scope mounting.
6. Are built only for scope use; no open sights are provided.
