The most popular rifle sold by RWS now comes in a black stock made from a durable, all-weather injection-molded synthetic. This German rifle will keep you shooting accurately and powerfully for decades. While it doesn't have some of the frills that more expensive guns have, it goes head-to-head where it really counts!
The well-balanced stock makes it easy to hold and shoot the RWS 34. Quality is evident in other places, too: a two-stage adjustable trigger, fiber optic front and rear (fully adjustable) sights, and a finely rifledThe inside of a barrel containing a spiral pattern of high and low areas that grab the projectile and impart a spin to it as it passes through. The most common type of rifling is called lands (the higher areas) and grooves (the lower areas).
barrel. No need to worry about cocking difficulty, as that's where this rifle really shines (just 33 lbs.). It's ideal for plinking, paper targets and spinners. If you're a serious airgunner on a budget, the RWS 34 was made for you!
RWS is known for standing behind their guns, and their warranty has always been viewed as the best in the business.

Things I liked:Most of the pluses that everyone else described I agree with. Especially like the lifetime warranty. I also have a Mendoza RM-600 and I think I prefer the Mendoza. The features are almost identical, but the Mendoza is much easier to cock. I'm no little guy by any stretch, but the Panther really IS a bear to cock. The price of the Mendoza was also much more economical than the Panther. The Panther has good accuracy out of the box.
Things I would have changed:Definitely put a sight protector on the front sight. I would like to see Pyramid sell one for this rifle. I will make one out of plastic as a temporary fix.
What others should know:Not a good airgun for pre-teens. Even a teenager is gonna have to be a big, strapping bodybuilder to be able to cock this rifle. Shooting over an extended period of time may be quite tiring for anyone. Pellet fit was VERY tight in my rifle. This may loosen up over time, but probably accounts for the rifle's good accuracy.

Things I liked:I have been playing with Gamo guns and have been pretty sadisfied but a custom trigger was a must. I bought the Panther sight un-seen based on the reviews here on Pyamyd and I am amazed at what this gun will do right out of the box. My Gamo S 1K didn't settle down untill 1000+ shots were fired but the Panther was dead on and consistant right out of the box. Being a single guy I have a 43 foot range in my living room and a solid bench to shoot from. Th Panther shot .1/4" C-C groups with out warm up. The trigger has a great 1st stage and a crisp predictable release. Pellets fit verry tight in the breach compared to my Camo S 1K which I am sure has something to do the accuracy. This is outstanding air gun and is tops in my collection of seven air rifles.
In one other review a fellow commented on the some what sharp edges on the checkering for the all weather stock as a undesirable trate. Well folks, I like it as it gives the gun a solid no slip feel. I have also read a complaint or two about the position of the saftey but have had no problems with disengaugeing interfearance while cocking. This gun is a little difficult to cock, the book says 33 lbs but I think it more but not a big deal for all us big strong airgunners.
Things I would have changed:At this point nothing. The German engineering is great, quality is great, trigger is great, accuarcy is great and at a very reasonable price from Pyramyd.
What others should know:Yeah, I'm going to order one in .22 next week!

Things I liked:seems to be put together good, ive only shot it about 30 times using the crow magnum .177 pellets.
with open sights im all over the paper at 20 yds, ill shoot another 200 with open sights, then clean it good and mount a rws 350 4x32 scope.
i hope the grouping gets better soon, i hear it takes awhile before it shoots good groups.
Things I would have changed:nothing yet
What others should know:nothing yet, i was asked to review the gun but i havent shot it enough to give a good or bad review, I did read alot about this panther 34 and it was all good.

Things I liked:What's not to like?
Things I would have changed:Uhhhhhh..... nothing.
What others should know:I already own an RWS 34, and I recently purchased a RWS Panther 34 for my Dad, well I was already smitten with the 34, but when I saw that Panther, and shot it... I had to have one too! So now Dad has a Panther, and I, a 34 "woodie" and a Panther, all 3 in 177, all from PA, and all with that unmistakeable RWS quality. A winning combo in it's own right, RWS & PA.

Things I liked:Bought two of these (my first one was stolen) in .22 caliber. This gun has a nice quality feel to it when you pick it up and handle it - much better than most guns in this price range. It is a bit long, but the gun balances well and the length aids in using open sights. I used it for a while with the stock sights, which worked very well, but I wanted to scope it. Bought a Centerpoint 3-9x50 Adventure and B-square one-piece, high-profile mount. The mount had to be installed "backwards" due to placement of the stop hole on the scope rail - but I have not had any problems with slippage after 500 rounds. I added a custom muzzlebreak to cover the ugly grooves left behind after removing the front sight - newer models will have a factory muzzlebreak option. It looks very cool, and for me anyway, that is an important factor when selecting a gun (my Ruger .22 WMR Single Six in stainless always gets complements at the range). I would not consider myself a competitive shooter by any means, but I have no problem dropping squirrels on thin branches from 25 yards with a single shot. I use RWS Superdomes and Benjamin Diabolos (14.3gr), which usually pass cleanly through a squirrel at 20 yards - know your backstop!
Things I would have changed:The safety mechanism is not the best design - about half the time, I disengage it unintentionally; your index finger tends to push it as a result of the natural hand position when holding the stock during cocking. It also seems to be the lowest quality item on the gun.
What others should know:This may not be have the exclusivity appeal of some of the other high end air rifles - but this gun definately delivers performance where it counts - power, accuracy, good looks and workmanship.

Things I liked:Right out of the box with factory sights @ 15 yds.with Beeman .177HP lead I was hitting the X ring. I put a 3-12 BSA "Air" scope on and from 5-30 yds. this RWS is amazing.The BSA with A.O. is a necessity for short shots. The adjustable trigger is great. With a solid rest this RWS is unbeatable.
Things I would have changed:The sharp edges on the stock in the barrel channel need to be rounded..easily done with a file. For a great backyard rifle I would change nothing.
What others should know:Witha BSA 3-12 Air scope it wieghs 9 lbs.

Things I liked:wow! very nice airgun. accurate (1/2 " c-t-c at 60 ft),balence is very good,trigger is just fine as is. reminds me of my gamo shadow but stronger and more accurate. scope mount works fine ( did only 2 shots) bought it for short range critters. I LIKE THIS GUN>.22 cal. of course pyramyd air was fast and accurate too.
Things I would have changed:front sight shifted in shipment,easy fix.put a foam sleeve on it in box.
What others should know:one heck of a bargain for the price and accuracy is super.

Things I liked:This air rifle is amazing! Before I bought this gun I owned a winchester 1000sb and I thought that air guns were just inaccurate. That was until I bought the RWS 34 Panther. Just with iron sites I was holding 1-1.5 inch groups at about 60 feet. The workmanship on this gun is also amazing; they are right when they say German made air guns are the best. As soon as you pick up this air rifle you can just feel how sturdy and well made it is. When I ordered the gun I thought that the synthetic stock would be some cheap plastic but once I got it I realized it is actually very solid and strong. Another thing I also noticed was the trigger. On my last air gun the trigger was very shaky and just felt cheap. But on the RWS 34 Panther the trigger is sturdy and just feels good when you pull it. I also really like the raised rail on the RWS. On most air gun the rail is just engraved into the top of the gun, and therefor does not hold a scope very well. When on the RWS the rail is nice a big and holds a scope perfectly. The rear iron sight (which does all the elevation/windage) is a strong metal that you can trust compared to the plastic sites on most other air guns. As you probably already know the price is also great. AMAZING gun!!!!
Things I would have changed:The safety on the rear end of the gun is a little hard to use and just could of been made a little better.
What others should know:Use a one piece mount if you plan on putting a scope on. The two piece ones don't hold up to the unique recoil that a air gun has (a air gun has a backward and forward recoil). Trust me; I blew through 2 two piece mounts before I finally found a one piece.
