About the Feinwerkbau 800 Evolution
The Feinwerkbau 800 Evolution is a single-shot, pre-charged pneumatic .177 (4.5mm) match air rifle built for 10-metre ISSF Olympic-style target shooting. A lighter, more compact evolution of the FWB 800 line, it uses an anodized aluminum stock with an ambidextrous grip and runs from a regulated 200 bar compressed-air cylinder feeding a recoilless action for near-zero movement between shots. It features a five-way adjustable match trigger, adjustable cheekpiece and buttplate, and precision diopter rear and globe front sights.
Feinwerkbau air rifles have been a mainstay of Olympic and ISSF 10-metre air rifle competition for decades, with the 800 series counting numerous world and Olympic medals among the rifles built on its recoilless pre-charged pneumatic platform.
