Overall quality of construction. Stats on paper.
Things I Would Have ChangedFor me it was not a good gun for long distance target shooting. Shot cycle was too violent. I could not get good distance or accuracy with 15, 18, or 20 grain high quality pellets. This gun seems to be much more geared to sub 50 yard hunting. It's pretty loud too.
What Others Should KnowSee above.
Powerful, accurate up to 50 yards, and fun to shoot from a bench.
Things I Would Have ChangedScope is not adequate, will not hold zero.
What Others Should KnowThe rifle is big, but powerful. I purchased mine directly through Ruger, I should have purchased mine through Pyramyd Air, because they have a better price for the rifle. I highly recommend purchasing the Air Venturi tune kit kit offered by Pyramyd Air, to replace/shim the breech seal. It will help improve power, and accuracy. The included scope is not adequate for the rifle, and will not hold zero. I upgraded to a Leapers UTG SWAT 3-12x44 with etched glass, it holds zero well on this rifle. Rifle prefers semi heavier pellets (17-21 grains), and easily punches through 1/2" pine boards at 25 yards. I have shot a couple thousand rounds through mine so far, and so far so good.
easy to handle and aim
Things I Would Have Changedhard to break and load sights through scope cannot be centered
I am very pleased with the.177 I purchased. It is accurate and powerful. Also a tight group at 59 yards about two inches. The rating is for the rifle only. The scope gets a zero.
Things I Would Have Changedthe scope broke 54 weeks after purchase so I would not recommend the combo.
What Others Should KnowI use the tomahawk Gamo pellets in everything
Power and velocity capabilities depending on grainage of .177 pellet.
Things I Would Have ChangedScope.
What Others Should KnowDue to the high velocity capabilities of this beast, it allows you to hit targets at greater distances. I changed scope from a capable 9X32 to a more higher range capable CVLife3-9X40 parallax from AmazonPrime. I retested this .177 air rifle shooting the Crosman Premier Piranha 10.5 grain sawtooth Hollow Point. The rifle was previously cited in for the 11.57 grain Pointed Beeman/Silver Arrow/H&N Sport #46177, which this rifle shot very accurate. It took me 7 shots to cite this in on a 2 inch target at 80 feet at 50 feet above sea level. Sunny skies with 82 degree temperature with 73% humidity. My next 5 shots hit the 2 inch target stuck. onto a box, missing the center bullseye by no more than a half inch. That accuracy was equal to the Beeman/H&N Sport. Chronograph result was: 888, 890, 891, 886, & 877, averaging 886.4 fps. This same pellet had an average velocity of 911 fps in 55 degreeez on 1/1/2019. 25 degree difference. I recommend this air rifle. Get chronograph. Woodys World.
Well made with look and feel of actual firearm,a little on the heavy side. Slight recoil when firing and hard hitting,you will not see the projectile in flight as you can in lower powered rifles. This rifle is loud compared to say a C02 or pump air rifle but there's a lot fps and power so its to be expected. Accurate with good groups using Ruger Superpoint pellets once you zero in the sites and scope. Dropped a woodchuck with no problem from 75 feet.
Things I Would Have ChangedIf there was a way to make it lighter and maybe if they could come up with a sound damper so it has a little more stealth,
What Others Should KnowUse good quality ammo,clean it before using for better accuracy.
Power for the price.
Things I Would Have ChangedI did change from the Ruger 4X32 scope to a 3-9X40. The power and velocity dictated I needed a higher power scope for longer distance shots.
What Others Should KnowI chronographed four different .22 pellets in 8 shot groups. I shot the Crosman Premier 9.50 grain SSP PBA in 8 shots, averaging 1114 fps in 68 degrees.. The RWS Hobby 11.90 grain lead in 8 shot groups, averaged 952 fps in 68 degrees. The third pellet shot, the Crosman Premier Ultra Magnum Dome 14.30 grain, averaged 911 fps in 46 degrees. The fourth pellet was the Crosman Premier Destroyer 14.30 grain, averaged 935 fps in 45 degrees. There are a few others that I have that will fly in excess of 900 fps. Now if you use pellets 15.00 grains and heavier, my chronograph readings were less than 900 fps. Hot and cold outdoor temperatures will increase or decrease fps somewhat. Get a chronograph and document your pellets in a logbook, including weather temperatures. I log all my pellets, 29/.177 grains and 31/.22 grains in all four seasons and compare the fps in those seasons temps ranging cold to hot. Get a chronograph. Woodys World.
First let me tell you, you will not achieve anywhere near 1200 FPS! I do not know where they pull these numbers from but mine only chronied at 817 FPS, a far cry from 1200! Other than that a great, accurate hard hitting gun!
Things I Would Have ChangedCan we get these manufacturers to stop lying about the FPS of these airguns!?
See review below.
Things I Would Have ChangedSee below.
What Others Should KnowThis is in addition to the review that is before the addendum to it. Once I concentrated on proper eye relief when looking thru that scope, with the power at 6X, accuracy totally improved. I did use my MTM Case-Gard Predator Shooting Rest, which was very helpful. I do recommend all equipment used during this review. I was concentrating on breathing, hold, sight alignment, and trigger squeeze. I then thought about eye relief distance when looking thru the scope, it made a big difference. Hope this will help you. John, of Woodys World.
