Weights

Post by conradin »

So I ended up buying the FWB 700 Alu L. The front is still a bit heavy. The butt stock is Gehmann, not the original FWB. Any idea on how to install weights, which and where to get them, and how to install them? All I could find are barrel weights, which are exactly the opposite of what I need.
I bought the rifle because I just want to shoot prone or bench. Got most of the accessories installed, work in progress but looking good, and tuning good. Shooting 9s on bench. Still dialing in prone.
But I may as well do some off hand as well. After I have taken off all the accessories at the front, I still have problem of the front end being much heavier than the back.
I may need a rising block...who knows.

Self adhesive wheel weights are cheap. Just stick these where you want. If you aren't shooting in ISSF competition, you don't have to worry about where the weights are, or how much these stick out.

By the way, do you mean the buttplate is a Gehmann? The buttstock is the back end of the stock.

I use these. There is also a 50 gram version.

All the Fein are barrel-heavy and need some counter-weight on the rear stock.

My process was exactly what was described above.

I started with ~200gr of wheel self-adhesive weights. I placed them on the flat part between cheekpiece and buttplate.

But they started to "un-stick" few months ago, so i recently bought the Tec-hro weight.
2 140gr as shown by Th. under the cheekpiece, and 2 90gr barrel weight just on the front of the chamber.

I'm at ~5.3kg this way (with an Anschutz fore-end raiser, the black bulky one).
