Things I liked:The people that manufacture this gun take a lot of pride in their product. When I removed mine from the box, I couldn't help but marvel at the finish and the detail on the stock. I mounted a scope on mine, I used a rws scope mount that I had on a older gun. It was obvious it was made for this gun. It took less than a dozen shots to zero the scope. The trigger doesn't bother me, but I don't care for the front sights. I would hate to think I would have to use this gun without a scope.
Things I would have changed:Front sight.
What others should know:This is an accurate hard hitting rifle.

Things I liked:RWS super high quality, just like on my Model 54. Nice stock with decent checkering. Awesome metal-to-metal and wood-to-metal fit throughout. Yes, the trigger is plastic (exact same trigger as on my M54, actually), but it breaks extremely clean, and I would guess it is right at 3 lbs from the factory, as they state in the specs

Things I liked:RWS super high quality, just like on my Model 54. Nice stock with decent checkering. Awesome metal-to-metal and wood-to-metal fit throughout. Yes, the trigger is plastic (exact same trigger as on my M54, actually), but it breaks extremely clean, and I would guess it is right at 3 lbs from the factory, as they state in the specs. I've fired thousands of rounds through my Model 54 with no problems of any sort, and the only reason I bought the 460 is that I have wanted a .22 cal for quite a while now and this one looked too good to pass up.
Things I would have changed:The wood on mine is rather plain, almost like birch rather than walnut, but still pretty nice. I've seen many $600 centerfire rifles with worse wood. The open sights, as everyone else noted, are a complete joke. The stupid front sight practically covers a tin can at 30 yards, which does not make for precision shooting! I have scoped mine also, which fixes part of the problem, but that front sight does not come off without also removing the retainer for the cocking lever, and as far as I know, there is no replacement compensator available for this rifle. This is a bummer, as I too will need to saw off the front sight, since it appears as a very distracting blurr in my 3-9x scope. I hate using a hacksaw to cut pieces off an expensive German rifle!
What others should know:I had not thought of this before getting the gun, but there is no way to put traditional sling swivels on this gun's forearm, due to the cocking lever. Even one of those shotgun style slings won't work, since it would interfere with cocking the gun. I like a sling on my hunting guns, but there won't be one on this gun.
Have not done serious accuracy testing yet, only fired about 30 rounds so far. Did do a quick chronograph check with RWS Superdomes--14.5 grains--and was amazed at the consistency: 804.6, 805.5, 803.2, 803.2, 809.3, Extreme spread of only 6.1, and SD of 2.5fps.

Things I liked:The stock is better than some high power rifles. The acurracy is excellent after only 150 shots, no spread at 12 yards, cuts the same hole. After sighting in, and trying to break it in, shot and killed a bird eating my seeds in my garden with the first shot. I have never killed anything in my life with the first shot at game.

After sighting in, and trying to break it in, shot and killed a bird eating my seeds in my garden with the first shot. I have never killed anything in my life with the first shot at game.
Things I would have changed:The under locking lever has a tendency to come unlatched after firing. Get rid of iron sights all together, and send them along as an installable option, and put screws in the holes. Front sight is awful. For those of you complaining about the plastic trigger, you must not have shot enough different rifles in you time, because this trigger is better than some very expensive powder rifles. It has very little first stage creep, great, crisp release, and low pull weight.
What others should know:Get a good scope like the Leapers 3-9X40, TS with locking turrets. This thing has pretty tough recoil, and will jostle the reticle in lesser scopes.

Things I liked:This was a used or a return that I bought from Pyramid and I must say that it arrived in absolute like new prestine condition. This is an extremely hard hitting rifle in .22 caliber. I have yet to chrony this gun but in doing some penetration testng it outperforms my model 48. This accuracy is amazing just like on my 48. Very sastified and highly recommended.
Things I would have changed:Of course everybody fusses about the plastic sights and trigger but I opted for the BSA scope and I do not care if the trigger is plastic as long as it has acceptable pull ,which it does. The cocking effort is not for weaklings and the underlever mechanism takes some getting used to but neither is unacceptable.
What others should know:I had Pyramid mount a BSA scope on a Leapers Accushot mount and it has not creeped one bit. They supposedly sighted it in but it was nowhere close. After about a hundred rounds or so and experimentng with several different pellets this gun really came to life. At thirty yards I am consistently getting 1 inch groups with the Crossman Premiers shooting off my lead sled. Make sure you use a good scope mount- not an RWs as this thing kicks with authority. All in all I really like this rifle it was an incredible bargain from Pyramid Air.

The consistency , ( shown by an extreme spread of 11.10 is excellent . )
Things I would have changed:The large , wide plastic front sight , and cut the thickness of the recoil pad at least 50 % , for an appearance more like the Beeman rifles.
What others should know:The power is excellent , and it is very accurate with the right pellets .........
Beeman FTS & Crosman Premier for my 460 .
Also , the trigger is very good .

What others should know:This is such a powerful and more importantly, accurate rifle. Its fairly easy to cock, especially after break in. I have put 1000 pellets through this rifle now. I did have to send it back to RWS to because the chamber seal had to be replaced. RWS fixed it the same day they received it and it was in the mail that same day. WOW! Great customer service. With medium pellets this rifle tends to pass through small game. I recommend using large hollow points (crow mag or predator) to maximize kill shots. Well worth the money.

Things I liked:Wood stock is absolutely Beautiful. Underlever cocking is better than a break barrel. Action is smooth with very little recoil. I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend the money on such an expensive rifle but now I'm glad that I did. This rifle packs a PUNCH !
Things I would have changed:I would prefer a metal trigger.

Things I would have changed:I would prefer a metal trigger. As for the issue with the awkwardness of having to de-cock, I just discharge the round into the ground.
What others should know:I purchased the .22 cal to kill pigeons and opossum. You can hear the impact when the pellet hits the target. I have shot several pigeons. With a heavy pellet and a head shot the pigeons usually drop with very little fight. However, there have been times that I have used a lighter pellet and been beyond 30 yards or so and the pellet rises or doesn't have enough force to put a kill shot on the pigeon. It's like trying to throw a ping pong ball a hundred miles per hour. I have not shot a opposum yet. I'd imagine that it will take a very well placed head shot to knock a opposum out cold. We'll see.

Things I liked:Nice stock and quality finish. Seemed accurate at the range. Hard hitting, killed my first rabbit last night, while eating my flowers. One shot, about 20 yards, flipped him once, and he never even twiched. I am a 60 year powder shooter, and I am impressed by this spring gun. I shot a number of pests durning the summer with my Gamo CFX, and the 460 seems like a harder hitter. The 460 has the look and feel of a real rifle.
Things I would have changed:A metal trigger would be nice, and a front sight blade that could be removed.
What others should know:Sighted the rifle in with Beeman Ram Jets, and killed the rabbit wth a JSB Ballistic Predator, so it must put them in close to the same spot. Both my CFX and the 460 are 22 cal, however the 460 seems a little louder than the CFX. The 460 has 50 shots through it and the CFX 1000 to 1200. Between the two I like the 460 better, dispite the difference in the cost.

This rifle is not made of junk parts with poor workmanship/QC from China. You get what you pay for in regards to quality. "Cain't be told, you will be showed".
Things I would have changed:Eliminate the plastic parts. I have concerns, but will use and see how they hold up over time. Most likey, the plastics are of good polymer for the application. It would be interesting to know RWS's position on this aspect. Some input from them might set the position straight on this matter.
What others should know:First tens shots out of the box (I know, I know, it is not broke in........yet).
Measured with Beta Chrony 31.5" from muzzle to first detector.
Temperature = 68 degrees F

What others should know:I have tried many brands of pellets. This rifle is very consistent with all the pellets that I have tried. I have had the most success with Beeman FTS pellets. I noticed the velocity improving as the gun breaks in. I have chronied the FTS at the muzzle at 905. This is after 500 rounds. To summarize, a very accurate and powerful underlever.

It seems like they use a quality polymer on several places including the trigger and safety housing. I have the .22 version and it far more powerful than my R1 in .20 caliber.
Things I would have changed:There is a safety catch for after you cock the underlever that you have to release. its a pain in the butt to uncock the gun with this thing. First you have to pull the trigger while hanging onto the barrel and then while still hanging on to the 40lb sprung barrel you have to push the safety catch lever with your other hand to let the barrel swing back to its resting position. get rid of that thing!
What others should know:The power advertised seems to be false. both from Amerex(Diana Distributor) and from Pyramid. This gun has less power than the Magnum 350 according to The Diana web sight. check it yourself http://www.diana-airguns.de/index.php?id=209
