Things I would have changed:Rear sights. ( but what do you expect for under $100!). Gun is grossly over-oiled from the factory.
What others should know:These are solid, economical shooters. I purchased one in .177 and enjoyed it so much, I bought another in .22. Having put approx. 4000 pellets through these air guns, I feel they are great all day shooters - whether it be for informal target, plinking or light pest control. The cocking effort feels much lighter than the advertised 29lbs. They are accurate with open sights, more so with a scope. However, this rifle shoots so well with the open sights, depending upon the range, you may want to skip the scope. Rear sight is crude. A diopter or micrometer would be a nice upgrade. Mendoza greatly over-oils the RM-200 from the factory. Be prepared for an extended period of dieseling. Once broken in, expect smooth and solid actions. Both of my guns loved RWS Hobbys above all other pellets that I tried. CP's did not fare well. Nice gun. Don't let the price and simple lines fool you. Best money I've spent on air guns in a while.
Things I liked:Very high quality and pinpoint accuracy with no adjustments necessary right out of the box. Deeply blued barrel and chamber. Beautifully finished and stained stock. Fiber optic sights are great, I won't be scoping this rifle.By Customer from USA on 2009-12-26 18:10:19

Things I would have changed:Not a thing.
What others should know:You would be hard pressed to beat this quality rifle and great price and service from Pyramyd Air. I use a variety of RWS .22 pellets with no problems. Order yours now....you won't be disappointed.
Things I liked:Obvious quality everywhere you look. Came with a laminated ID tag stating the chrono reading and trigger weight at final inspection. Sounds good opening, cocking and closing; like a bank vault. No plastic anywhere except for the red and green glow-things in the sights. Very nicely made.By Customer from USA on 2009-06-21 18:54:11

Things I would have changed:I wish it weighed a little less, but if it ends up being a durable weapon, I'll live with it.
What others should know:Spending money on the Internet has always scared me, so I try to check stuff out pretty well. Here's the one that got me to Checkout: http://www.gatewaytoairguns.com/airguns/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=5400&mid=38686.

Things I would have changed:poor sight ajustment.
What others should know:unable to group shots. (15 yards) from bench rest. waste of good money...
Things I liked:1st: I added Mendoza Diopter Sight, 11mm Dovetail; which for me added BullsEye 10 9 out of 10 shots. The power, went through Crossman Air Gun Target Block. So, it will Destroy Varmit Squirrels. It's Light easy to Cock and Enjoy Safety Feature. This will be my # 1 Destroyer and Target Gun. Thanks!!!By Gil from USA on 2009-02-06 20:58:48

Things I would have changed:Adding the Mendoza Diopter Sight, 11mm Dovetail; instead of ramp sight.
What others should know:This is my experience, soon as I opened and zeroed; the piece, before using it to destroy what may destroy the home, if you don't feed them daily. This I believe, will do it in ONE HUMANE SHOT. HEAD IF NEED, OR THE HEART. IT'S ALSO QUITE SILENT, COMPARED TO 6 OTHER I USE. GREAT!!!! PURCHASE, I RECOMMEND TRYING THIS OUT, EVEN IF IT'S JUST SPRING; I'M ENJOYING USING THIS.
Things I liked:Easy cocking at bench. Accuracy may be from limits of shooter. Wacky Wayne is on the point with RWS Hobby pellets being the pellet for the RM200 .22 cal at plinking ranges up to 35 yards.By Raymond Clements from USA on 2008-08-03 15:06:24

Things I would have changed:The only change I recommend is adding the Mendoza Diopter sight and go shooting.
What others should know:From kids to Grandpa's this is the Air rifle to start shooting. Install the Diopter sight, grab some Hobbys and a youngun and have some shooting fun. It seems strange when you grab the Mendoza instead of more known brands to go plinking.
Things I liked:As someone who is opening an air rifle range and testing rifles to see which ones to buy a lot of, the rm-200 is topping my list so far. I like the quality construction most, light weight and easy cocking. Of the 9 springers I have this is the gun I grab when I want to shoot starlings in the trees under 25 yards. I got the .22 for impact and lower fps so the pellets won't travel as far when shooting in the air. When I want to shoot at 50 to 100 yards I grab the Avenger 1100 which is the same as the RM-600 made by mendoza, at 1030 fps in .177 or .900 fps in .22, close or long range shots are possible. (If you want only one rifle and can afford $149 then the avenger 1100 is the one). I have now compared the beeman ss1000 and the crossman quest and phantom, all also at 1000 fps. in .177. The beeman (made in china) at $159 has a little more power, but kicks more, is harder to cock, is a lot heavier (8.5 comared to about 6 lbs.) and has more plastic parts. The crossman just $89, and the beeman are just as accurate as the rm-200 in .22 ( I think that .22s are naturally just a little less accurate, the avenger is just a little better than the rm-600 in .22, the rm-200 in .177 might be more accurate than the beeman or crossman, so far the avenger 1100 in .177 is the most accurate). I feel that the mendoza rm-200 is a better and longer lasting rifle and maybe worth the $20 extra over the crossman quest, a close second.By Wacky Wayne from USA on 2008-02-16 18:54:32

Things I would have changed:I really like the rear sight on the 7 shot mag. rm-2000, but it would probably raise the cost too much to put it on the rm-200.
What others should know:The best pellet I have found so far for the rm-200 and rm-2000 is the RWS hobby 11.9 gr. Anything heavier is too much for the rm-200. The mendoza rifles seem to prefer the german pellets. The H&N baracudda match also work well in .177 or .22. I also have a mendoza rm-600 in.22 that can shoot the heavier beeman crow mags. and the heavier german pellets very well. In general don't give up on a mendoza until you have tried fatter pellets. Also, it is worth it too put a decent scope on any of these air rifles. I would recommend the leapers 3-9x32 at $44 or better still the centerpoint 3-9x40 without the package for $49. If you have pyramyd mount it for you, then you get a free case.
Things I liked:ACCURACY! , Near perfect light Trigger, Build quality everywhere you look, Light Weight.By Dan from USA on 2007-11-17 05:47:40

Things I would have changed:Me! I cant get used to the automatic safety. The kind of bland stock becomes less noticeable when you start shooting it. Mendoza has a great product that deserves sprucing up. At $89 it was a steal @ $109 it's a good deal.
What others should know:Of my 30+ guns never have I had a gun this accurate with open sights. At first I was disappointed when trying to sight it in at ten yards but when I moved out to 25 it became spot on. I always play with the open sights before scoping. I won't be putting a scope on this one. .22 Chronied erratically between 600 and 675fps, we'll see when it settles down and is broken in. Still, it's more than the manufacturers specs. Don't let the bland looks fool you. This is a shooters gun.- 12
