Things I liked:I must say that initially I was a bit confused as to which air rifle to choose. My final decision was the Diana RWS 34 Striker combo with the TO6 trigger. The staff was fantastic in helping with relevant information, type of ammo and initial breakin tips. In just a few days the rifle arrived and that's when the fun began. Shooting a "springer" is different from a pump- up gun so I followed directions using the "artillery" hold. Without sights I was making two inch groups at thirty yards without a rest. Not bad for a 70 yr. old rookie. Then I finally attached the sight on the rail,stepped back 10 meters ,placed the rifle on a bench to start the sight- in procedure and fired at a home made target with an X marked on an old piece of wood. It appeared that I had missed the entire target until I walked up to it and found the pellet firmly imbedded in the crossing of the two lines. I'm talking the exact middle!The shot groupings at 20 and thirty yards with only minor adjustments allowed me to make groups the size of a dime. What a rifle and sight combo! Thanks folks for your advice and professionalism.By Mike from USA on 2011-12-06 09:29:04

Things I would have changed:Safety is a tad loose so be careful. Be sure to clean the barrel first since it will be liberally coated with oil. I used one of those "snakes" and it worked perfectly.
What others should know:By all means use the" artillery" hold on your gun. It works!. There are many u tube videos to watch on "springer" air rifle use.
Things I liked:This is a nice rifle. I have shot 200+ pellets through it and have 1/2" grouping from 30yds. The trigger has a very nice feel and the scope has stayed tight.By Mark from USA on 2011-12-02 07:25:13

Things I would have changed:Nothing yet.
What others should know:RWS pellets are the most consistant in this rifle.
Things I liked:Gun is solid and well built. Fun to shoot for target practice. Not sure it is accurate enough to shool varmints with.By Douglas from USA on 2011-12-01 15:15:01

Things I would have changed:Gun should not be able to fire unless it is fully closed. Had one discharge by my son when the barrell was not fully locked. It popped out the washer and oring and surprised us all.
What others should know:The gun is not quite as accurate as I read. From a bench as ten yards, the patern is about silver dollar size with an occassional bullet out of the area. It could be the ammo but not sure. Have fired about 300 rounds and seeing no improvement. Good beginner gun however.CommentsBy Edith from USA on 2012-01-22 21:10:04 0 
If your son fired the gun with the barrel not fully pushed back to the closed position, then that may have bent the barrel. It might explain the poor accuracy. In any case, you can have the barrel straightened by a gunsmith. You can even straighten the barrel yourself.
Things I liked:Solid rifle with good quality metal and wood parts. Scope is OK for purposesBy Alan from USA on 2011-11-20 11:10:45

Things I would have changed:My rifle had a problem with barrel alignment- When sighting down the receiver, the barrel canted about 5 degrees to the left- easily visible with the naked eye. It shot fine with iron sights which are mounted on the barrel, but the scope could not be used because when mounted, even with shims in rings, the point of aim was too far from the actual bore line-up (7 in at 20 yds) that the two could not be made to line up, or even get close. Other reviewers haven't had this problem so I think it was isolated to this one gun.
What others should know:I returned the rifle to Pyramyd and they were great to deal with. Emailed a FedEx label same day. Will continue to do business with Pyramyd because they stand behind what they sell.
Things I liked:Did not shoot the gun after the initial inspection.By Duane from USA on 2011-10-28 09:34:14

Things I would have changed:The gun arrived from Pyramidair with a crack in the stock, from bottom of the U cut out to the front of the trigger well. No damage to the box. Poor quality inspection before shipping it to me.
Things I liked:i also have the 34 in the .22 cal. so, this review is the same in every way for both guns. the rws scope mount is the best. a hint on installing it. dont let the chance of a mounting bolt loosening up as i have seen other members complaining about get a bottle of clear fingernail polish, totally mount and get your scope right where you need it. take one screw at a time out. put a drop of the polish on each screw. it works like the screw lock that is on the market except you cant see it and when you go to remove the scope the screws will brake free without the use of heat. do this on the scope rings as well. if you are really serious about air rifle shooting or hunting. save yourself a lot of time, frustration, and money. buy german. rws has a secret way, as does the other big german co. of treating and rifleing thier barrels.look, you want to hit what you aim at. not wonder if its you that cant aim straight or the rifle that isnt accurate. rws is accurate. one look down a clean rws barrel will turn a light on in you shooting expeirience and you will never settle for less. i have been hunting with the .22 cal. version with a ball ammo. it is very accurate and powerful.with a good scope, it comes with a pretty good scope. YOU can miss, but it wont be the rifles fault!!! i got the .177 cal. for punching paper at 50 to 150 feet. with the h &n match finale, at 100 feet you will punch a dime every shot. i am getting up there in age, even so, 5 shot 1 hole groups are common with.177By charles from USA on 2011-10-01 16:22:44

Things I would have changed:the only thing i can think of is that if you put the rws muzzle brake,/ suppressor on it, it should operate quieter and be a little easier to cock. and of course, eventually a nitro piston power supply is eventually going to be offered at a reasonable price.i have put at least 5000 pellets through my .22 cal. mod. 34 over the last 15 years. never had any problems with the spring. or anything else. same scope, same power same accuracy. if i was to have a chance to talk to the owner of rws i would say thank you for making such a dependable, powerful, accurate air rifle...and DO NOT CHANGE A THING ON IT!!!
What others should know:there are a lot of cheap air guns on the market. save you money a little longer. buy a german made air rifle and it will hit what you aim at, and will not brake and let you down. you dont even have to check the ammo. i already told you what works. want to hunt with the .177???? use the heavy version of h & n baracuda hunter hollow point. i believe it is 10.86 grains in weight. you could just buy the same version of that pellet for all your shooting and cant go wrong.
Things I liked: This is my 2nd rws my 1st was a model 45 25 yrs old and still killing squirrels,i decided to pass my 45 on to a nephew,i bought the 34 as a combo it took about ten shots to be on,love the heft of the rifle also it seems to be faster than my old rifle can't wait to go hunting.By Customer from USA on 2011-09-05 16:37:04

Things I would have changed: i have only shot it to zero the rifle judging by that i would not change a thing.
What others should know: In my opinion rws makes one hell of a rifle for the money it is nice to see a company stll making a great product.
Things I liked:Wonderful trigger pull for an air rifle. The gun is well made and has good weight. Pyramyd air is very easy to deal with--good vendor. The gun was shipped the morning after I ordered it.By Customer from USA on 2011-08-21 23:55:59

Things I would have changed:Maybe a little more muzzle velocity would be nice, but is not really needed for targets or small game.
What others should know:Beware of Benjamin Trsil series. Made in China, and is a piece of junk. Shoots erractic at best, and is very hard to cock. Shoots a shot group the size of a paint can lid at 40 feet. Trigger pull is forever.
