the accuracy and the power. with jsbs exact heavies 18.1 grn i got .4" at 20 yds after I cleaned the barrel. Also the gun is very smooth to cock over some guns that are costing less.

This gun is hard to shoot. it is a magnum so be patient practice a consistent hold and follow through

I love the craftsmanship, fit and finish. The pictures do not do the gun justice. The wood is solid and gorgeous. I own a Gammo and Benjamin Trail breakbarrel rifles and the RWS is in a league on it's own. I love all my kids but I love the one who in going to Ivy League College ... catch my drift? Great weight, accuracy.

This spring loaded break barrel is very difficult to cock. I'm a weightlifter and in great shape and I still feel like I'm breaking my arms to get this thing ready to fire.

The recoil is nice and substantual when you shoot it. It will make glass bottles turn into fairy dust from 80 feet out. Deadly accurate gun. Don't bother buying this gun if you're not strong upper body... period.

Hard as hell to cock! I'm a weightlifter and it tests my arm strength.

This is a pricey gun but worth every penny. Be ready for a powerful recoil. This thing is strong and destroys my glass bottles like they are fairy dust!

Excellent quality - you will find nothing better than diana. Deep bluing, solid construction, and a beautiful beech stock. The T05 trigger is amazing...very light and predictable. I have shot and owned almost every magnum springer on the market and this gun blows every one out of the water with it's overall quality. The real kicker...the power. I mean it when I say that this gun is very powerful. I shoot heavy .177 pellets. It is well suited for hunting. It is very accurate and easy to cock.

1.)Find a good scope, the tech force scope that comes with this combo broke from the massive recoil after roughly 1000 shots. I bought a leapers 3-9x40, which has proven over time to suite the gun well. 2.)This gun is very accurate, once you learn the artillery hold which is necessary for all magnum springers. (extremely accurate with both iron sights and scope) 3.)These 350 magnums love crosman premiers. BUY ONE! you won't regret it

Very nice wood stock, quality air gun with great power Dime size groupings at 25 feet, Excellent trigger.

Nothing

Best gun for the monies, a little heavy, other than that, good to go.

Great quality rifle. The wood stock is amazing, the trigger is excellent, the scope does really well however I am going to change it to a Hawke mil dot, the accuracy is good. I think it will get better as I get more practice with the gun. I am shooting 1 1/2" - 2" groups at 25 yards using Crossman Premier hollow points. Overall this is a great package.

Nothing at this point.

I need to test some other pellets and find which one this rifle really likes and also improve on my own skills.

Accuracy, power, makes me smile.

Quality control, supplied scope

My rifle had to go back to Umarex after 250+ shots with apparently a broken main spring, while I believe my case is unusual somebody was asleep at the quality control bench the day they built mine. If you buy one do yourself a favor and get the gun only and shop for a better scope, won't cost you that much more. Mine came with an Air Venturi 3-9x32 that I had to zero five times in the first 250 shots with the same ammo. Just received the gun back from Umarex and switched out the scope with a Hawke Varmint 2.5-10x44 and what a difference. I'm now cutting down dandelion flowers at thirty yards repeatedly. I think I'll hold off on mowing the lawn for awhile.

Powerful, will go thru 3/4 inch pine at 10 meters. Nice wood and finish and overall quality.

Front sight! I am a little near sighted and can't seem to focus on it and a 10 meter target together, but with a scope I can shoot 2 inch groups at 10 meters. Great for practice on soda cans at 10 meters, but would not shoot it beyond that. I can shoot 2 inch groups at 200 meters with all my center fire guns just in case someone may think I don't know how to shoot.

Cocks a little creeky but it it's a spring gun.

This is a beast. Much heavier than my other .177 air rifles, however it is a thing of beauty. With 8 grain pellets velocity is around 1,100 fps, which is not bad at all. The auto safety is a nice feature. The wood stock is quite lovely. The trigger breaks cleanly and is not "creepy" at all. All around this is a world class rifle for target practice and varmint control.

I would appreciate a little more positive feel on the safety. It has no detent or feel at all.

You need a fair amount of strength to cock this puppy. It seems to be much more consistently accurate with heavier pellets. H&N Baracuda .177 Cal, 10.65 Grain ammo works very well and I am experimenting with JSB Exact Monster .177 Cal, 13.4 Grain pellets as well, but do not have definitive results.

High-end build quality, superb accuracy, and very high power.

I prefer the T06 trigger, but, the T05 is still worlds better than most others I've tried.

This rifle is huge: Very long, and it is also very heavy. The feel is typical German design; meaning, this thing is very heavy and bulky, but at the same time, it shoots like a dream, as smooth and pleasurable as fine chocolate. Brilliant! The Germans expect the owner to adapt to this rifle, not complain about it's weight and size, because, you will be greatly rewarded for your efforts due to it's extra fine trigger pull, superb accuracy, and blazing power. I love German engineering, it is so 'in your face', but at the same time they pay great attention to fine, smooth details. An example on this rifle is the tapered breech, which allows pellets to nearly 'fall' into loading position, smooth as silk! All mechanical actions of this rifle are super smooth and easy. Housing all of these fine workings is a huge, heavy rifle body. Like I said, very German! Built like a tank, I can easily see this gun lasting basically forever. Highly recommended, and I can tell you this much; once you shoot one, you will understand just how great it is. These RWS rifles are in another league entirely, compared with the junk you can buy at wal-mart.

it is powerful and accurate firing.

its front sight is suitable for getting clear image.

know safety, no pain, No safety , know pain

for accuracy anybody can buy it

light weight and easy to carry anywhere

safety first.

Power, Accuracy, Precision, Durability, it's made well so to say.. power even at +100 yards and then some.

It is very hard to cock! Seems a little awkward to get the needed cocking leverage with this package (scope mounted etc..) though I'm sure it will be nicer once it's broken in. It's a heavy rifle, I know, I have many pellet rifles and take hundreds of shoots every week. I'd only recommend this to a person who doesn't mind the extreme cocking effort needed.

Use precision pellets, tighten screws frequently (should be done to insure good integrity). My main target gun prior to this one was the Gamo Whisper .177, it's a great gun, 'cept I wanted a good .22CAL.

I REALY love this gun it shoots true EXTRMLEY ACCURATE and hits with WHACK shots at 75 yards are not uncommon and to all first time buyers I think this rws350magnum is a great Hunting gun its accurate and hits like a MACK dump truck @100mph.accurate out the box and its QUALITY just OOZES I LOVE mine its very accurate

Built in sling..And PLEASE RWS MAKE LEFT HANDED MODEL FOR US LEFTIES

I think accuracy out the box is so important and this rifle DELIVERS hardley no brake in period and the quality is 5 STARS

The accuracy is great! Quality is also very good. The most power ive have ever seen in a springer.

It is quite heavy and hard to carry out hunting.

It will take some practice to shoot well and you'll just have to be patient which I'm not good at.

I liked the power, accuracy, and body finish of the rifle. It's a GREAT rifle by RWS.

The rife has a lot of recoil to it and it can be a little heavy to carry around.

When the gun was sent from Pyramyd Air, they didn't send me a (Book of Operations, Warranty Certificate, and a Scope Instruction Manuel)included with the rifle's contents. It took several emails to get these issues resolved.

The Diana RWS 350 magnum striker combo air rifle is a good product. It come with the 3-9x32AO scope, Leapers drooper mount & a hard case.This is a hard hitting air rifle with a fine wood finish, and ready to shoot out of the box. the scope was already mounted and set, hit dead center on first shot thanks Bob.

nothing

Only that this is one of the best air rifles i have purchased yet.

A good, solid, reliable and accurate gun. Nice open sights (hooded front with removable post), and a real wood stock with recoil pad. Nice checkering as well.

The factory finish is good but I like the look and durability of polyurethane. I don't know how much extra it would have added to the cost but it was easy enough to mask the checkering and spray one right over the factory stain. A trigger mechanism that effort could be more easily adjusted would be nice but I'm sure the company's liability insurance probably prohibits that feature from being included.

This is a quality gun but like everything else you might want to purchase, has to be manufactured with certain compromises in mind. If a higher power gun is going to be reliable over time it has to be designed and constructed with that in mind and if it is going to be priced so most people can afford it, exotic/lightweight materials and complicated manufacturing techniques have to be avoided. This gun is "Robust" and built mostly out of steel so there's no way around it being heavy. Most Americans aren't going to carry the gun very far or very long anyway so that isn't going to be as much of an issue as for those living in countries where firearms are restricted and hunting small game with a .22 isn't an option. The cocking effort is stiff as you would expect but not beyond the ability of an average person to do comfortably or repetitively either. Overall, this is just a hard package to beat for the money and although I haven't owned mine for very long, I expect it will live up to RWS/Diana's reputation and be a gun somebody else will enjoy shooting long after I am no longer able.

Hits hard and fast. Quality apparent. Good fit and fine finish.

RWS needs to develop a high quality gas type spring. It's the future.

Worth the dough. It's heavy to tote around. It's a good looking piece of work. If so many bloggers say they can tune it better than RWS ought to spend a little more time to bring it up to higher standards. There is wiggle room between their's and high end Beeman's and HWs.

Well designed and accurate. Not too loud compared to some of my other air rifles.

Heavy... really heavy. Weight alone would keep me from buying another one. I don't know if it's the rifle or the stock but you won't be carrying this one very far and you will get worn out shooting it. It is also a beast to cock. It hates cold weather. Lined it up on a warm day. On really cold days it dropped about 4 inches low. Next warm day it was right on target.

Appears to like heavy pellets. Crosman Premier Ultra Magnum .177 Cal, 10.5 Grains shoot best.
