Solid rifle! Going on 3,000 rounds and no problems. I'm hitting golf balls at 50 - 60 yards (about as close as I can get to a rabbit). Scope mount seemed cumbersome at first but it definetly works. I didn't want an aurtomatic safety but it's in a convenient and logical place and is reflexive to use. The plastic trigger doesn't need oil.

The Weaver scope mount is about an inch high. The rings should be low rings not medium. The scope is adequate but needs a power ring. I would still like a butt pad to absorb the shock and I prefer a fiber optic sight.

Unfortunately my pellets of choice for this rifle are Beeman Crow Magnum ($15/500) but the RWS Superdome are nearly as consistant at 25 - 50 yards. The forward screw at the trigger guard holds down the rear end of the barrel. This particular screw needs to be checked often. Remove the barrel from the wood stock to clean the entire barrel. This will expose the main spring and is a simple maneuver. Of the 12 or so under $300 pellet rifles I've tried over the past 3 years this is my all-around favorite and I am more than satisfied.

the gun its self is fantastic,scope is plenty good enough

the scope rings are to cheap.the screw thru the base striped out.the ring kept creeping to the rear,so I retightened it and it still moved finaly to many tightenings the screw stripped out

this is a greeeeat product just needs better quality rings

Excellent Scope and the trigger has a good feel

The safety is somewhat annoying but you get used to it. I dont know if its this particular rifle, but it seems very difficult to cock and has only improved slightly with use. Given other springers that I own, the effort required is substantially more.

fairly heavy, but well made and a good value for the price

This thing is dead-on accurate. I was a little nervous about this gun before I bought it. I thought the break-barrel was a little too 'old school' relative to the newer breach models. Suffice to say, I was wrong...this thing is excellent.

Not much. It's true that this thing weighs about 12+ pounds (I like that since it sets up solidly on a range)...and that the trigger piece is plastic...but who cares???

I went ahead and spent a extra $10 bucks to guard against DOA + had it cased / mounted / scoped. I think it was a smart investment.

Look and feel is very solid. The wood is quite beautiful and mine is flawless. I got this with the '10 for 10' and a case, and it came all assembled and set-up. My first shot was a bullseye at 30 feet, I think by accident. Within about 50 pellets the gun (and I) became repeatable to scope it in and get a repeatable 1.5 inch grouping at about 30 feet, with no support. This is my third airgun, and the first since summer camp decades ago that is worth shooting. This will not be mistaken for a toy.

Nothing. Shooting 10-20 pellets a day I don't even mind the lack of a shoulder pad.

This is my first breakbarrel, and compared to a multi-pump or CO2 it is a bit more of a workout, and I'm glad I didn't pick one with a higher cocking force. This isn't bad, but you can feel it.

I really like the weight of the rifle, very stable. It took me a little while to sight in the scope, but this was my first time to do that. The quietness and accuracy are very good. I really like my purchase for small pests around our property.

No changes, very happy

A very good rifle for anyone, though a little heavy for smaller shooters. But I am very impressed with the quality. I did not want a plastic rifle.

First pellet gun and had no problems setting it up. I was killing gophers after sighting it in. Works great. I got several kinds of pellets and really liked shooting gophers with JSB .22 Cal, 15.8 Grains, Diabolo Exact Jumbo, 500ct. The heavier pellets did the job better and had no problem with accuracy. Had no problems mounting the scope, sighting it in or with it moving around. It was easier to set up and get to shooting accurately than I expected it to be.

Nothing.

its a Good Quality Gun and more consistently accurate than any other pellet gun Ive used... I cant tell much difference useing any one of 4 or 5 different kind of high quality pellets... the grouping may be a little higher or lower is all..

I would like to have a 1500 fps in this quality gun if the pellet accuracy could be maintained, but I like it better than the GAMO WHISPER package

Im beginning to think that the "poor quality" Scopes that are being used on these guns are the problem.. I changed the GAMO SCOPE for a more expensive one and the accuracy got better. When I adjust the scope on my RWS the pellets go everywhere.. but Ive gotten it close now and the grouping has become more consistent,, whether its the 1st pellet of the day or the 10th

i have never used an adult air rifle before always 22s or high powers. the gun for the money its hard to beat. the wood was nice. the sights where great. the blueing was right there with any of the middle priced 22s. the leapers scope was a nice surprise its a nice looking little rig. what i like best after about 6 shots at 25 yards it shot a ragged hole one shot after another.

you need to put a butt plate on it.

great deal get one before there gone.

cant beat the price for a rws rifle , rifle and scope combo makes the perfect match

plastic trigger and safety

I like the quality of the rifle. It looks and feels like a much more expensive gun. prettyy accurate, still breaking it in. i own a Beeman 1000ss and the RWS 34 blows it away in every catagory.

I wanted the wood stock not he composite, but i also wanted it in a compact and they do not offer the wood stock compact version.

I love it! I bought .22 version.

4x32AO RANGE ESTIMATING SCOPE IS GREAT, weight & stock well balanced

FOR AN RWS GUN , THE SAFETY & TRIGGER ARE PLASTIC , SHOULD BE METAL

THE BEEMAN R1 IS HALF THE PRICE OF THE RWS 34 AND IS JUST IS GOOD

Basically what everyone else has said, it seems the craftsman ship out weighs the price considerably. The trigger was crisp right out of the box. Nice wood grain & finish. I like the hooded tapered post on the front site. The rear sight adjustment knobs are nice. The heft of the .22 pellets, It's the first .22 I've had.

Add a butt plate. I use my guns. The inevitable scratches/dents will come but the butt appears a little overly vulnerable.

I really don't care that the trigger is plastic, I can't tell when I pull it. I really wasn't planning on getting a scope right away but would have been crazy not to pay $3 more for the combo. The flip up scope caps alone cost quite a bit more and the mount/scope appear to be well made. I haven't shot it enough to really comment on accuracy but it seems fine so far. I'm optimistic that it will be good. I don't really like the looseness of the term "accuracy" alone. If I get back to posting on it later, I will include the useful details: shooting position, range, sight system & average group size.

Great for a first airgun. I originally got the gamo big cat. The gun itself was ok, but the scope was terrible. I returned it after finding this package deal. If you want a great gun package that already comes with a decent scope, this is a great choice and was worth the extra money. I have found that the my gun likes the RWS superdome pellets. It shoots them pretty accurately.

Nothing. Great airgun with a solid warranty.

Try a pack of RWS superdomes if you aren't sure which pellets you want.

Great quality printed all over this beautiful gun; that screams it take lots of money to have. But has a price that anyone who wants to shoot some pest, in the yard. To top that its accuracy is amazing from a springer.

This air-rifle is accurate, but it takes some time and a-lot of pellets to get the twang out of the spring. It would be nice to not to have to take so much time to get the mainspring set-in.

Don't oil the this air-rifle every 1000 shots, maybe every two three thousand shots. Just keep in mind that the less oid the better.

I like everything about this combo! After sending the Beeman RS3 combo backin return for this, I am very pleased with this rifle. Quality fit and finish, the scope mount is solid and of quality contruction and the scope is very nice and clear,djustments are crisp and precise. The blueing is supurb as well. After shooting my Crosman Quest for a couple years, the trigger on the RWS is a welcome change too with a nice light crisp pull. out of the box the accuracy of the gun isnt great, but after some break in time and time to get used to the gun I am able to group very well out to 60 yards. The gun prefers the Crosman premier domed pellets. I would suggest the combo to anyone

Nothing major really, a buttpad would be nice, its hard to locate on my shoulder sometimes.

Well worth the money. Great gun! Also Pyramydair customer service is top notch. I returned the beeman combo I had purchased previous to the RWS without any trouble and upgraded to the RWS.

As soon as I took it out of the box,I could see the quality of this gun.I have owned a benjamin pump gun that was very nice,I have also looked at the Chinese made guns that are not bad for the money,but none of them come close to the RWS 34.I almost went with a Gamo,but did not like the plastic barrel and light feel of the gun.After making the RWS my choice I couldn't be happier.After mounting the scope and droop compensator,I sighted the gun in and started to have fun with this incredibly accurate air gun.Those of you who would complain about a plastic trigger and not buy the gun because of it are truly missing out on an incredible air gun.I have the .22 cal. and it is quite powerful.

The one thing I would change is to put a but pad on it.

Buy quality pellets and have fun.
