Things I liked:Affordable and small in size. Made my Crosman 1377 sing immediately after application. Things I would have changed:Maybe a bulk 'blister pack' of 5 for a greater discount. What others should know:I put this on my mult-pump head and suddenly got greater accuracy and repeatable accuracy.
Things I liked:Clear optics, AO, affordable. Things I would have changed:Dovetail instead of picatinni/weaver mounts. What others should know:Take the flip top covers off. I haven't shot this enough on a magnum springer to rate the "True Strength" platform BUT I did sight it in within 10 shots! That's unheard of with my

I haven't shot this enough on a magnum springer to rate the "True Strength" platform BUT I did sight it in within 10 shots! That's unheard of with my other cheap scopes. 4x magnification is all you need for a 30-40 yard shot.
Things I liked:Cheap and works reasonably well. Things I would have changed:The lock isn't reliable and the pistol magazine adapter doesn't fit my magazine. Although it works fine with the adapter. What others should know:I used friction tape on the outside of the clip, either side of the lock forming a U, to make it reliable
... Read MoreThings I liked:Cheap and works reasonably well. Things I would have changed:The lock isn't reliable and the pistol magazine adapter doesn't fit my magazine. Although it works fine with the adapter. What others should know:I used friction tape on the outside of the clip, either side of the lock forming a U, to make it reliable. The extra adhesion provides a memory effect and prevents the pin slipping open. Now I can trust it in my pocket.
Things I liked:Does what it says! Things I would have changed:Cost :-) What others should know:I mounted mine to my RWS 350 and find it a great convenience when hunting.
Things I liked:Cheap, simple to use, tight fit that gets a lot of lead out. Things I would have changed:Nothing. What others should know:Buy this and never look back. Use dry.
Things I liked:Cheap Things I would have changed:The stop bolts ride up on the weaver rail shaving off the top edge and causing the scope to move from shot to shot. What others should know:Don't buy this, they use a bolt instead of a flat flange to mate with the rail.
Things I liked:Low profile, great with the ``B-Square 17021 11mm-to-Weaver``. Things I would have changed:Added friction tape like the Accushot. You can do this yourself with the correct choice of tape. What others should know:
Things I liked:Solid construction, four screws, flat stop pin to hang at the front of the sight rail, elevation screw with set screw, same length as my RWS 350 rail. Things I would have changed:Nothing other than instructing RWS owners to remove the recoil screw in their scope mount rail. It gets in the way of a correct fit. What

Things I would have changed:Nothing other than instructing RWS owners to remove the recoil screw in their scope mount rail. It gets in the way of a correct fit. What others should know:I just bought the ``B-Square 17021 11mm-to-Weaver`` which has an adjustable elevation screw (with set screw). This is great for RWS 350 owners. I mounted a pair of ``B-Square 20052 1" Sport Utility Rings, Low, Weaver Mount`` for a perfect fit.
Other than tightening the rings a little after some rounds I have found the whole assembly very sound. I was prepared to put Loctite blue on the screws but it appears I don't need to.
Don't forget to optically sight your scope as BB has posted. It helped a lot when getting my gun working with this new setup.
I dumped my RWS C-Mounts - they're junk!

Things I liked:Fit, finish, and power. Things I would have changed:Softer recoil pad. What others should know:** replace my previous review **
I found Beeman Kodiak Match Heavy pellets work best for longer range. I prefer the Iron Sights to a scope, the accuracy improved, maybe due to weight or the fact the break barrel

I found Beeman Kodiak Match Heavy pellets work best for longer range. I prefer the Iron Sights to a scope, the accuracy improved, maybe due to weight or the fact the break barrel changes slightly between loads.
This gun broke the supplied RWS 300 scope and eventually the Bushnell Banner scope after 1000-2000 rounds.

Things I liked:Great gun. Very powerful. Easy to hold. Things I would have changed:A little heavy. The scope dovetail is a pain. Don't buy the all-in-one packaged RWS300 scope and C-Rings, they will waste a lot of your time. What others should know:Buy the "RWS Lock Down" scope mount, not available on this website. And

Don't buy the all-in-one packaged RWS300 scope and C-Rings, they will waste a lot of your time. What others should know:Buy the "RWS Lock Down" scope mount, not available on this website. And buy the Bushnell Banner 4-12 x 40mm (71-4124), also not available on this website. The Banner is rated for AirGuns, check the manufacture's website to confirm. I installed the scope mount backwards to ensure my elevation wasn't at maximum extent.
Make sure to run cleaning patches (pellets don't seem to work), I recommend the Beeman Delux Cleaning Patches and a standard bore cleaning pole with the "blunt" cap, not the brush.
The gun is very accurate and fun to shoot once I got the right scope, mount, and system going. I use RWS SuperMag as I've seen test results that show they keep the pellet away from the sound barrier, improving pellet behaviour.
Things I liked:They hit hard and my game doesn't move much afterward. I use a RWS 350 Magnum. Accuracy, sub 1" groups at 15 yards from a kneeling position, that's as good as I can aim. Things I would have changed:I pre-sort my hunting pellets for duds to ensure an ethical kill. I found a lot of deformed and damaged skirts in the two

Things I would have changed:I pre-sort my hunting pellets for duds to ensure an ethical kill. I found a lot of deformed and damaged skirts in the two tins that I purchased. What others should know:I wish they made a "Match" version of this pellet with the same quality control as the "Kodiak Match". In the end I don't use these for plinking, so my yield of good pellets isn't a problem.
Things I liked:Amazing fit and form compared to the non-match pellets. They just slide in to the breech. Every pellet looks perfect under a mag glass. Things I would have changed:Nothing. What others should know:Accuracy is really good. I was putting pellet after pellet in the same hole at 15 yards and getting 1" groups

Things I would have changed:Nothing. What others should know:Accuracy is really good. I was putting pellet after pellet in the same hole at 15 yards and getting 1" groups at 25 yards on a windy outdoor shooting range.
I use an RWS 350 magnum... BB recommends heavy pellets for PCP and powerful springers as they can actually damage weaker guns.
Things I liked:The MATCH pellets have exceptional uniformity compared to the regular Kodiaks. Things I would have changed:Nothing. What others should know:Works great in my RWS 350, very predictable shot to shot.
Things I liked:Shoot accurately. Things I would have changed:Very very dirty. What others should know:Find another pellet that's accurate and doesn't leave so much much in the barrel.
