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.
We've recommended a variety of appropriate pellets, which are listed in the AMMOSlang for ammunition: The entire set of materials needed to shoot a given gun. It might be a cartridge (in the case of a firearm) or just a pellet (in the case of an airgun).

Things I liked:This is my first and only air rifle. Overall build quality, appearance, power and value is better then good. it doesn't look or feel cheap. i was pleasantly surprised to see protected front sights(same as the wooden stock 34), unlike the pictures or complaints I've come across before purchase.
Things I would have changed:Although it seems that most people prefer fiber optic sights and while they do function well, I feel that it looks kind of cheap, fragile and toy-like. They do look much better under sunlight, but what's wrong w/ having metal sights? The trigger and the trigger guard(part of the stock) are made of strong plastics and i felt that a metal trigger wouldn't improve anything.
What others should know:Although i don't have comparisons, this trigger seems to feel much lighter after break in. Without the safety engaged, this trigger will release with minimal effort. At first, I dripped with sweat after shooting only a few shots and had to take time off to rest. But after a few hundred shots, cocking became much easier and now I don't break a sweat. This gun is very heavy, but i think it was carefully engineered that way.

Things I would have changed:Love is as-is. Would be nice to have a wood stock version that has the checker pattern like the synthetic does. This was the reason I went synthetic and I'm very pleased.
What others should know:B.B. Pelletier suggested I go with the 0.22 version for squirrel control and I'm very glad I did!! If you are looking for a gun for pest control you can't go wrong with this one!!

Things I liked:This is a quality air gun with a superbly crafted synthetic stock (I purchased the .177 cal). Very nice two stage trigger that is well pronunced between the first and second stage. With a crisp pull in the second stage. Tru Glo signts are good for target acquisition and plinking and the adjustments are well defined clicks for both windage and elevation. This air gun appears to perform best with heavy pellets. I've had very good results with the Beeman Crow-Magnum and RWS Superdome.
Things I would have changed:This gun needs sling swivels if you use it for hunting. This aiir gun will be a heavy load to lug around in the field without a sling. Further, it would help in both the Off Hand and Sitting Posiion because the gun is so heavy at the muzzle, and the balance point for me is just in front of the trigger guard.
What others should know:I 've had this air gun for over two months before submitting these comments. This is my first adult air rifle, and I selected the 34P over the CFX upon the recommendation of the PyramydAir Customer Rep. I would recommend a .22 Cal for an air gun that weighs this much with or without a scope. Before mounting the scope I shot approximately 300 pullets through it to get a feel for its shooting characteristics, and hopefully also obtain some mechanical break-in. I learned to obtain consistent shot groups requires a longer follow through and much more relaxed hold with the left hand foreward position. This air rifle is very difficult to shoot in both the Off Hand (Standing) and Sitting Position because of the barrel drop. A rifle sling would greatly improve the balance and steady the hold position. I noticed that other evaluators have obtained very small shot groups; however, the best I have obtained with out of the box pellets (without sorting or weighing the pellets) is about 3/8" CTC at 20 yards with a 5th Gen Leapers 3-9 Scope . And about 1/2" with the open sights. Both shot groups were from a bench rest.

Things I liked:everything. this is an amazing rifle. its super accurate. the sights are very good the power is amazing. i can get dime sized groups at 10 yrds with crosman heavies with ease. and about the same sized groups at 25 yrds. the sights are nice and the adjustment is crisp and clear. the fiber optic truglow whatever is great for low light. the gun isnt to heavy wich is good. the cocking is also not to bad. i was amazed with this gun because after about 50- 100 shots it seemed to be broken in. its also not to loud. i live in a suburban area and its fine. the triger is fine its got a good first stage and an excelet second stage. i dont care that its plastic because you can hardly tell and i would take a good plastic one over a bad metal one any day. the triger is nice and light too. the gun is a little front heavy but its no problem. there is little vibration with this gun. i like that the safty is automatic and i think that the positioning of the safty is good to. rws also added a hood to the front sight wich is good because it offer a wee bit more protection for that bad boy
Things I would have changed:the scope mount the stoppin holes are to shallow. this isnt a big problem because you can buy a $20 utg scope base made for this gun and other rws modles. also maybe add sling mounts because once you get a scope on this gun it can be a little heaavy to cary around all day
What others should know:this gun is great for squirrel hunting one head shot and they just drop when you use crossman heavies in 177. i have a leapers 3-9x40 scope on mine and its a great match unles you happen to be a squirrel. i had it zeroed in about five shots. also under the video tab there is a good indepth reviw of this gun that is helpfull if you arent sure if this gun is for you. also jsb predators work very well out of this gun. um this stock is very nice it fits well in my hands. this guns is great and for 200 somin dollars you get more than what you pay for its well worth the money

Things I would have changed:the scope mount. its not that big of a deal because you can get the utg compensator mount for a little under $20. i would also think about adding sling mounts because if your gunna be luggin this thing around all day it will start to feel heavy
What others should know:i put a leapers 5 gen 3-9x40 scope on mine and its a great combination. i had it sighted in after a bout 5 shots.

Things I would have changed:If there was something to change, I suppose I would add on a front sight globe and metal trigger.
What others should know:This pellet rifle shoots tight groups. I shot the rws 34 using crossman premiers hollow points and I was able to get very consistent groups. I highly recommend you buy a good quality airgun scope to accommodate the enhance accuracy on this pellet rifle.

Things I liked:It delivers 975-980 fps with 7 grain RWS Hobby pellets. I'm sure you could get 1,000 fps with 6.5 grain Beeman Lasers. Not many lower priced or similarly priced rifles come this close to their advertised 1,000 fps. The iron sights work very well and precisely.

Not many lower priced or similarly priced rifles come this close to their advertised 1,000 fps. The iron sights work very well and precisely. If you are a serious shooter, this is your entry level choice.
They just improved the front sight to a hooded version like you find on wooden stock variants all along.
Things I would have changed:It is a little front heavy with no scope. Still a bit heavy with a 4x32 that weighs 13.5 ounces. Probably perfect with an 18.1 ounce 3-12x40 scope.
What others should know:Get the UTC/Leapers Weaver scope mount with droop compensation. All springers have droop. All springers recoil too hard for dovetail mounts. I don't know if or how well it would work with non-RWS rifles, but it is perfect for RWS rifles. It is hard to get this rifle. There's a good reason... it is a awesome deal! Ordered Thurs PM didn't leave Pyramid until Wed. It is often out of stock, but worth the wait.

Pulled it from the box, wiped the excess oil from the action and inside the stock, lock tight back together and shot a 1" group from 12 yards with open sights and RWS 14.5 grain superdomes. What a treat!!

Things I would have changed:Hollow butt.
What others should know:Ordered .22 as a medium range hunter. After tear down and lube/tune average 657 fps with CP's,645 with Silver Stings which is in line with Diana's rated 690. Removed butt pad and filled with plaster powder and expanding foam. Better balance and less noise. With a peep sight at 25yds can cover 5 shots with a quarter. Trigger will get smoother with use. If thinking about .177, get the Ruger at half the price,it has a copy of the T-05 trigger and piston,articulated cocking link like the 350. It may be Chinese but is capable of nickle sized groups at 30 yds with a scope.

Things I liked:This gun in .177 has excellent metal parts and is very solidly built. The rear sight is all metal. The front fiberoptic red dot is also quite clear. The trigger is clean and very crisp. The gun is more accurate than I can shoot at the offhand position with the iron sights, because I can tell instantly where my pellet is going to land after pulling the trigger. After about 100 shots it is more or less "broken-in", with smooth cocking and firing.
Things I would have changed:It is definitely muzzle heavy. Because of the straight style of the stock, I found the standing offhand position most comfortable for the iron sights, but sitting position is impossible without a scope.
What others should know:I shoot only non-lead pellets, which means Crosman, Gamo PBA or Skenco. The Crosman and PBA pellets are too light for this gun. The Skenco golden rod pellets work well in my gun.

Things I liked:Exceptional power. Fine accuracy for taking apart english sparrow-sized targets out to 25 yards.
Things I would have changed:I would add a rubber butt pad. Wooden butt slips in your armpit. Trigger is sort of cruddy, but better than most spring-piston rifles

What others should know:You need heavier pellets to get the accuracy. Think Beeman Kodiak or Crow Magnum. The previous poster must have had a fluke if he's not getting his pellets to all touch the same hole at 15 yards. Light pellets fly erratically, I've found.
Of course, I've owned my '34 for quite some time. Maybe his isn't 'broke in' yet. I'll admit it took me a while to get my group sizes down to where they all touch at 15 yards.

Things I liked:The .22 has plenty of power. Great for varmint control when you can hit them.
Things I would have changed:The accuracy is overrated. I expected dime groups at around 15 yards, good luck with that, i tried 4 different pellet types and even ordered RWS Meisterkugeln, not much better with those. My concern is that yesterday it was dead center, today it was low and left, then i re-sighted it, that didn't last, this afternoon it was low and right. The rear sight is doing something hinky. I mounted a scope on it w/ accu. mount and it was still not responding correctly. Perhaps my 10/22 has me spoiled it will hold 5 shots inside a dime at 25 yards. I expect the RWS34 to do that at 15yards, it did not meet my expectations. I will continue to experiment with it and hope it somehow stabilizes.
What others should know:This gun feels like the real thing. With the scope on it- it looks just like a full size deer rifle and feels the same w/ the weight of this baby. It takes a bit of beef to break the barrel for loading.

Things I liked:Received this rifle a couple of days ago. Shot Beeman Kodiak Match extra heavy pellets through it. This is a VERY nice gun...well built, solid, beautiful and very accurate. After I got my scope dialed in (AR22 4X32) I was shooting dime sized groupings at 20 yards. In a lot of my groupings the pellet holes overlapped. I did have to originally shim my scope (I used a Centerpoint 1 piece mount) and I was "clicked all of the way" and still off target by 2-3 inches. 2 small strips of plastic under the scope and I was good to go. I didn't find the rifle too hard to cock...about average for this type of air rifle. It was moderately loud...no loud "twang" from the spring, just the sound of the air...it's quiet enough to not be a nuisance for the neighbors if you have a moderate sized lot. Trigger was o.k.-very good; consistent pull. I have an extra GRT III trigger lying around and am going to see if I need to put it in. So far I don't think I have to. This is a nice gun!
Things I would have changed:Protect the front sight
What others should know:Great gun...great value. AND ACCURATE!

What others should know:My rear sight is adjusted all the way down and the gun still shoots a little low. I don't know if this is common, but I don't have enough adjustment range on mine. It won't matter because as soon as my Leapers scope base arrives I'll be removing the sights and adding the scope.

I created a stop for shooting in the backyard using 3/8 inch pine plywood and was suprised that the .22 pellets I was using were going right on through.
Things I would have changed:I cannot think of one thing better to do, except maybe make the trigger guard a seperate piece from the stock, so it can be replaced if ever damaged. I don't see it being an issue though.
What others should know:If you want to use your own scope, there is a good chance you will need mounts that can adjust for windage and elevation. With a Simmons Blazer scope and weaver mounts, I maxed out adjustment on the scope before being able to completely zero in. I switched to the RWS "C" mount and had better luck with windage, but still had to shim to correct for elevation.

I own a bunch of Gamos, Crosmans and have owned a few others and while they're decent, it takes a bit of work (tuning, trigger, etc) to get them to stack pellets.

I own a bunch of Gamos, Crosmans and have owned a few others and while they're decent, it takes a bit of work (tuning, trigger, etc) to get them to stack pellets. This .22 Panther shot like a dream from day 1, is quieter than my other rifles, doesn't have a loud springy noise from the powerplant, is a bit more forgiving when it comes to hold sensitivity and has a nice out of box factory trigger (clean and crisp).
Things I would have changed:The scope stop hole needs to be deeper, but Leapers now has an inexpensive adapter that'll help lock your scope in place for good.
What others should know:Pellets - Mine loves Benjamin Domes. Next would be Predators and Gamo Hunters. The Predators and Hunters group extremely well, however the rifle seems to be a bit more hold sensitive with them. With the Benji Domes however, the rifle is much more forgiving when it comes to hold and I can consistently stay within 1/2" at 30 yards (offhand). It wasn't super hard to cock (just a little slap on the barrel) at first, but it did ease up a bit after about 50 rounds.

Things I liked:After trying several makes of air rifles in this price range the panther proved to be the most gun for the money, extremely well made and the accuracy at ranges out to 100 yds. so far my longest distance tried has been outstanding.
Things I would have changed:The scope that came with my panther was to short for me to get my proper eye relief even when set as far back as possible. This is probably due to my age and my glasses. 65 yrs. young
What others should know:After reading other reviews about different scopes and mounts I went with a BSA 3-12 x 44 with the long single mount bracket and adjustible scope rings, VERY IMPORTANT I did as suggested with rear scope ring and turned it up two full turns and locked everything down. When I set adjustments for windage and elevation at 20 yds. this setup was right on even with several different types and brands of pellits but after moving out in range I found the Beeman Kodiac Match extra Heavy was the pellit for this gun. I have shot over 4000 rounds now and cleaned the gun several times, checked the scope mounts still everything tight and when I don't shoot for several days I can still pick up my gun and hit small targets at 100 yds. almost everytime. If you like to shoot for fun and not spend a fortune this setup is perfect.

Things I liked:This gun is very accurate. I could shoot 1/4" groups at 10 meter even without a proper brake in. It really is a beast to shoot the first 500 or so shots but after that it settles down and is a pleasure to shoot. I have a Bushnell Banner 4-12x40 scope on it using a leapers one piece mount and it hasn't moved after 700 shots.

I have a Bushnell Banner 4-12x40 scope on it using a leapers one piece mount and it hasn't moved after 700 shots. I wouldn't waste your money on a B-Square mount because you can shim the rear ring if you are suffering from barrel droop. I am not even using the stop pin and it is staying put.
Things I would have changed:Globe to protect the front sight. Also the underside of the stock is very sharp but nothing that a little sand paper cant fix.
What others should know:I really couldn't get good groups with Crosman premier lights but i got the best groups from JSB Exacts 8.4g and Crow Magnums 8.8g

Things I liked:BrianAg618: This is the first Air Gun of this type that I have purchesed (Break Barrel), and it came highly recomended by a Pyramyd sales rep. I normaly shoot and have been trained on all types of high powered (live ammo) weapons, and this rifle came as a very big surprise. It is better balanced then some of the weapons I am used to shooting, and has an overall great feel to it. Right out of the box, after cleaning it, I fired several rounds from 50 yards, and it only took a few clicls of the Micrometer rear sight to start hitting center with every shot. I then mounted the Leapers 3-9 X 50 scope, and again with only a few clicks she was hitting dead center. This rifle was a total surprise to me with the way she fired and held its groups, would highly recomand to any interested in buying an RWS Air Rifle.
Things I would have changed:The only thing I my self would add is a Barrel Hand Guard for cocking the gun. I do not like having to wipe sweaty hand prints off the barrel before each shot, a Hand Guard to protect the barrel would be a great added feature. (If you can find one to fit, I would buy one, still looking)
What others should know:If not sure what to buy ask the sales rep, I di and I am very happy that I did, great people to do business with

Things I liked:This is a nice air rifle. My first review is just two down from this one. I am "Bullseye"
I am writing to offer help to the fellow and other who may have had trouble with stiff cocking of the rifle. My panther was very difficult to cock right out of the box. It became more and more difficult over the first 500-700 shots, almost to the point I was going to send it back for re-work. Out of frustration I tried oiling all the moveing parts and pivot points I could get at with out removeing the gun from the stock I also put a few drops of airgun oil on the spring you can see when holding the gun upside down. I probably used more oil than would be recomended buy a dealer but this was my last resort before sending it back.
After two weeks standing barrel up in the gun case my Panther was smooth and very easy to cock, better and smoother than new. If you read my first review you can see that I hinted to the fact that cocking seemed to be more than the 33 # advertised. After the lube job it is actually easire to cock than my Camo Shadow-1000. Try it and you will be amaized
Also! You may have to clean the barrel locking ball after 500 shots or so. My Panthers accuarcy went down hill fast at about 500 shots. It cocked easy now but shot poorley. 6" groups at 35 feet poorley and that's unexceptable. I noticed that windage was always pretty good but many shots were low 4 -6 inches. The only thing it could be was the bbl lock. After cleaning the ball and catch with slovent (Laquor Thinner) and a artist brush, drying with compressed air, a few drops of oil and a dab of axel grease on the ball the groups were back to .35" c to c at 33 feet and I'm happy with that. The clear class bottle I had the thinner in was full of metal filings either from break-in or manufacture.
Things I would have changed:Really nothing, this is a good gun, very accurate and now very easy to cock. It also looks very cool with my 3x12x50 BSA. If I could I would ask the factory to do a better job with lubrication and make sure the barrel lock is clean and free of metal filings
What others should know:Yeah, don't let a Panther get the best of ya. Break it in (500 shots min) Clean the barrel, clean locking ball, lube the pivot points and piston and get ready for a life time of shooting, this is a good gun for the money.

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: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: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

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.
