(the combo with the scope) I spend too much on this sport...but I don't gamble and rarely drink, so it could be worse, eh? I love it. What a nice springer. Easy to get good groups. Shoots a little over 725 fps average (not dieseling) with 14.5 grainers. Feels good in my paws. I couldn't believe I could still get an actual made in Germany rifle for under $350 with a decent scope. Just my little review. (I did my homework beforehand and it seems to be well-loved by owners.) -Rob _________________ It's never too late to have a happy childhood.   Posted: Fri Jan 06, 2012 5:15 pm SMP Silver Status Member Joined: 04 Feb 2011 Posts: 1183 Location: Just south of "Out There"- Land O Lakes Ontario C'mon man you know the rule.

I loved it when I picked it up and pointed it. The stock is not chunky like my other springers. -Rob _________________ It's never too late to have a happy childhood.   Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2012 9:07 pm radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA Funny it shoots just fair with the RWS pellets, but makes ragged one-hole groups @ 20 yards with Premiers. I guess I found what it likes. _________________ It's never too late to have a happy childhood.   Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2012 11:34 am radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA I forgot this thread. Here are some pics finally: This is the RWS I don't really have but love its accuracy in my backyard: The Disco, I wish I had but I'm so good at faking it that I shoot it all the time: And my good, old imaginary Vantage 1200 that I did my first truly successful tune to: The others are oiled up and stored so no more pics today. Now that there are picture it really happened? _________________ It's never too late to have a happy childhood.   Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2012 12:00 pm oddtodd Silver Status Member Joined: 30 Dec 2008 Posts: 2029 Location: Richmond, IN USA Yep. Pics make it so! Nice looking rifles by the way. _________________ Airguns: Two starlings talking "Larry, did you hear that? Larry??

Had her dialed in too! Maccari tuned and what a dream to shoot! Congrats! Thank you, and welcome to the forum BTW. This rifle is factory stock all the way. All I did was a cleaning and a bit of lubing and let it break-in naturally. It is a joy to shoot. Easy to hold for accuracy and no "twang". Shoots ragged one-hole groups at 20 yards using just a shop stool to rest my front hand. _________________ It's never too late to have a happy childhood.   Posted: Wed Feb 15, 2012 8:55 pm robert w Senior Member Joined: 12 Feb 2012 Posts: 574 Location: usa i got my last 34 at a gunshow it is .22 didnt have a scope but got it for $160 after bartering .i thought my 34 in .177 was lonely but its a nice gun smooth and easy to cock compared to my chinese guns ive put about 3-400 shots through it so far .got to crony it yesterday with cphp's low 745 high 754.6 those were the cheep wally world pellets . hope after 3-4 tins she opens up more . been thinkin why i bought crosman /benji when for w few $$$ more i could get a fine german gun with a smooth out of the box trigger . both chinese junkers have gold triggers now and when you add this to the price its not far from a great german gun like a 34 . but we all like to tinker with gus so we buy those others . _________________ ,crosman 400,gamo big cat in .22, diana 5g,diana 54 air king, diana 34 in .22 diana 34 in .177, wilrauch hw-55,and a romainian pioner training rifle , and a huge collection of powder burners 35 last count . 1 would think i have a gun store   Posted: Wed Feb 15, 2012 11:11 pm radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA That was a good trade! And those .22 velocities are real close to mine. Plenty good. LOL Ya, the reason I don't have a $600 Weihrauch or Air Arms by now is that....I keep spending money on cheap stuff and parts to make it all good. It's funner! _________________ It's never too late to have a happy childhood.
