Things I liked:Rifle is extremely accurate. I could group 5/8'' at 27 yards from the benchrest with a 3-9 x 50 scope. Stock has a good finishing em good grip.
Things I would have changed:I don't like the plastic parts like the front sights and the safety latcth. They could be replaced by aluminum alloy parts.

Things I liked:The general quality of the gun. Accuracy and power. The stock is very nicely made and finished and as others have mentioned i could not find any imperfections period. RWS quality, I have a model 34 thats over 10 years old and still works great.
Things I would have changed:I dont like the front plastic sight. It gets in the way if a scope, it also looks silly. Also dont care much for the safety just feels cheap. I wish RWS would adopt a safety like that on the Gamo Hunter Extreme. Also the scope mount is flawed as you cannot mount a scope normally or it will just gouge out the hole for the stop pin. Not as powerful as advertised. The combo I bought came with the RWS300 scope which is not powerful enough for this gun in my opinion. At only 4x it doesnt have the zoom for more distant shots.
What others should know:This is a very nice gun. Accuracy is dead on and very easy to shoot when held properly. The manner in which you cock and load the gun will take an hour or two of getting used to. If you drop a pellet when trying to load it then you have to flip the gun over and shake it until the pellet falls out. The best ammo for this gun that I have tried is either crosman premieres domed heavies or beeman kodiaks. Both shoot nearly the same. Expect dime sized groups at 20 yards with these pellets once you figure out how the gun likes to be held. I mounted a bushnell 4-12x40 scope on it using the RWS C mount and had problems with recoil moving the scope in the rings. Applied Scotchkote to the rings and that stopped the creeping.
Twice i have tried to cock the gun and the beartrap mechanism clicked but could not get the gun to fully cock without retrying a few times for some reason. Not sure if this is indicative of something to come down the road or not.
The gun is not as powerful as advertised. I bought it in .177 caliber and while it does have enough power for me to be plenty happy with It does seem to have a tad less than the Gamo hunter extreme that I had before it was traded in for the RWS. The RWS is a quality peice and much attention to detail has been paid in making it. For example where the butt pad meets the wood on the stock its perfectly flush and lined up.
Overally very happy with purchase and I expect I will have this quality gun for many decades to come.

Things I liked:This thing is the best air rifle I have ever shot. Once you have it sighted in, it is deadly. I have had a geese problem, but no more. This gun is very accurate. I have been shooting it about 60 to 70 yards with Beeman pellets. Awesome Gun

Things I would have changed:The only thing I did not like about it was the mounts for the scope. They would not stay tight when you shot it, and the little screws stripped out, but I went to the local gun shop and got new mounts and have had no more problems. The mounts are not very expensive, so its not a big deal

Things I liked:I'm pretty new in the air gun world so this review can be seen as very subjective. I liked the overall look. The stock is much beautiful than the picture shows. A minor varnish defect on the inside right end of the cock lever tranche (don't know how to call that part of the stock). The rifle is comfortable, the cocking effort is acceptable and the power is there. Small recoil but nothing annoying. Accurate enough and very powerful for small game hunting (that's the reason I gave my wife to buy it !). We are invaded by squirrels and I already acquired a TF78 in .177 for this purpose. Good enough but you have to hit one shot in the kill zone to make it nice or you have to finish off on the ground which makes me uncomfortable. The RWS 460 in .22 added to its super power gives you more "flexibility".
Things I would have changed:I had some difficulties to sight the scope. Again I put that on my total lack of experience although the same operation on the TF78 was much easier. No problem what so ever with the front sight blocking the view from the scope. Maybe I missed a step here in which case I'd need some advise. For the price I guess I would have appreciated a better scope let's say at least a 4-6 range power or whatever. This also would have better served the power of this gun.
What others should know:Not enough experience to advise other airgunners but so far I'm very satisfied with my new acquisition. At least I look serious in my backyard !

Things I liked:Surprisingly easy to cock for its power, to the point where they probably could have put a heavier spring in and gotten it to 1,000 FPS in .22. The checkering is a nice touch. Vibration is actually less than I expected. Muzzle crown is well recessed and protected.

Things I liked:Surprisingly easy to cock for its power, to the point where they probably could have put a heavier spring in and gotten it to 1,000 FPS in .22. The checkering is a nice touch. Vibration is actually less than I expected. Muzzle crown is well recessed and protected.
Things I would have changed:After adjusting the rear ring of the one-piece scope mount (supplied by RWS) to the point necessary for point-of-impact and sight line to coincide, I found the front sight badly obstructing the scope. Normally you could remove the front sight and add a muzzle break, but this sight forms an integral part of the cocking lever securement, so it can't be removed. At this point, I may have to cut off the top portion of the front sight (it's plastic). I think this was overlooked by RWS.
What others should know:I haven't done accuracy testing yet, but I clocked sever weights of pellets, and the lighter ones (15-18 grains in .22) develope 22 pounds, the exact figure you calculate at 950 FPS with a super-light 11 grain pellet. So, they are delivering what they promised energy-wise.
