RWS 3400 Air Reviews

Accuracy was good but inconsistent.

Get rid of the plastic sights and trigger guard. The screws that hold the action are inaccessible without removing it from the stock which will void the warranty.

Lots of vibration. All the screws in the gun will loosen unless you use locktight.

Accurate , well made, nice stock

I would change the rear sights to Doppler sights

it would behoove you to use some lock tight on the rear sight screws as mine were loose . im not extremely picky about triggers. Once you get used to it, its all good. This rifle seems to like H&N hornets and field trophy green pellets. I hope your rifle turns out like mine... I love it!

Cocking effort, power, accuracy, nice stock.

Sights are low quality, rear sight was loose out of the box, heavy trigger pull, loose fitting power plant components causing significant vibration-not a difficult problem to solve in the design and assembly stage.

Steel spring .177 caliber version. The following is opinion. Quality control is sketchy. Gun was lubricated internally during assembly. Sights are low quality, but functional. After approximately 300 rounds, groups are under 1 inch at 50 feet with open sights, which tells me that the rifle is quite capable and should be scoped-if it shoots this well with my aging eyes, a scope will bring those groups down considerably. Chronograph results with JSB Exact 8.44 grain pellets-917.1 fps, 15.76 ft.lbs. This product, again, in my opinion, was designed and built, first and foremost to make money, not serve the owner well for the money spent. I would not make the purchase again knowing what I know now. Reading the reviews by other owners, I am concerned that this product may prove to be unsafe the more it is used.

Nice stock

The overall quality

when I took the gun out of the box I saw the rear sight move. The screws were coming out. the stock and action were horribly missaligned. the sights were so missaligned they ran out of adjustment and were usuless. absolutly no quaulity control in this rifle.. Avoid at all costs. Hard to believe RWS would make such a poor quality product. the good thing is Pyramid Air appologized for this dissapointing product and re-imburst me.

Looked nice except plastic sights, safety switch

plastic sights, safety switch and last longer than 25 shots, broke..... heavy creep trigger but predictable.... just before it broke about 5 shots keyholed and the trigger became a hair trigger ?????

Total fail, hope the customer service is what I read about..... 3400 gas piston FAIL

it's a beautiful air rifle but accuracy is untested at this point. i need to contact the manufacturer about the condition it was in when received. please read all of my details.

Prep and Packaging. i received my 3400 gas piston yesterday 8/25/20 and immediately opened it up to look it over only to find RUST and the blueing is terrible and spotty. i'm not happy about this! other things i discovered that i don't like are the linkage to the cocking mechanism rattles around in the stock and the finger guard is not flush with the stock and needs to be bedded down more so it's not protruding. having a low 2100 serial number but still high enough to work out all the bugs is disappointing to me. i'm not sure if i will buy another umarex of any sort after this. i do own several Diana models from the Dynamite noble time and Diana RWS era's without any question they were well built with no issues so how can this rifle that's had so much attention to detail from multiple country's need so much more attention out of the box? Quality control failed on this one from beginning to end.

open your package upon receipt and check it out before accepting. record any issues with or about it, take pictures and post to the web then contact the manufacturer.

Stock, overall build quality, easy to break barrel and cock.

Rear sight is flimsy. Shooting cycle is harsh.

I own and shoot frequently numerous popular break barrel and underlever airguns including the Sig ASP , Walther LGU, Weihrauch HW 97K, RWS 52 , Gamo CFX . This gun is the most inaccurate by far that I own. Every shot is a "flyer". I have tried several brands of pellets and different weights , artillery hold and just about every type of hold you can think of but the results are always the same 3" groups at best@ 50 feet. When fired the guns barrel consistently moves a lot and I'm thinking that this may be affecting the accuracy. I somewhat frustrated with this gun but have not given up on it and will not be sending it back.

Great little air gun. Easy to cock , accurate once zeroed. I bought the gas version.

I haven't found anything I would change yet.

First 15 shots were fun. Looked nice.

I would like a pellet gun that lasts for more than 25 shots. It broke. Something internal went wrong. The cocking action didn't "catch". Trigger changed dramatically and the last several shots keyholed?????

I am stunned that a pellet gun from Germany broke so fast. The last 10 shot of 25 total were keyholing ?? and the trigger went from long slow creep to VERY hair trigger.

Overall this is a nice air rifle. Very nice fit and finish on the stock. Weight of the rifle is perfect for me.

This rifle would rate five stars if the weight of the trigger was adjustable. First stage travel is adjustable only with the second stage being heavy, long and somewhat spongy. My trigger falls between 5-6#. Hopefully that will change as the gun is broken in. Also, some checkering would be nice on the forearm of the stock.

I was a little surprised to notice that you had to remove the stock to tighten the breech block bolt. Easy fix though. I used a round file and worked the stock down enough to be able to tighten the bolt without having to remove the stock. Only takes a couple minutes to accomplish this.

Over $300 for just 800 fps?.....lots of show, not much go.

Fps.

Nope
