Rated 4 out of 5Â by flocker24 Would buy again
Everything about this gun is great except that after around 20 shots, I have to retighten the allen screws on the muzzle brake (or it slides of when I shoot)and the Phillips screws on the sides of the stock. Had no trouble with the scope staying in the mounts and had it sighted in in under 10 min. Overall, I would buy it again as I don't mind taking a few seconds to retighten the screws.

Rated 2 out of 5Â by wabbithunt Throw out the scope and mounts
I read reviews like this one at Bass Pro's website and liked what I read. After purchasing this gun I couldn't get the scope to mount without leaning to either side, 10 degrees off level. It would not sight in because the windage adjustments wouldn't spin far enough to compensate for how far the scope was leaning. I brought it to a gunsmith in Edmonton and had them install proper mounts and the scope that came with it for an extra $60. Their gunsmith said that the barrel was bent so he straightened it and bore sighted it. Warning sign! It came out of the box with a bend in the barrel! I had it sighted in and used it a couple of times - it will make sort work of a rabbit ;) Very powerful. It worked fine at first but after a few shots it was out of alignment.
My opinion: my mounts are fine the scope is garbage. P.S. The gunsmith was very knowledgeable. He said that this is a knock-off of the Diana design which makes it very powerful but it is not well made.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by david58 the scope mount is junk
like the rifle but scope mount moved almost everytime I fire the gun. Any suggestions for a better mount for this gun? I also own a ruger blackhawk air rifle. It has a 4 x 32 scope instead of the 3 x 9 x 40 scope that comes with the airhawk elite. That scope mount is solid and doesn't move. Any suggestions?

Rated 4 out of 5Â by George100362 Wonderful purchase
Accuracy with expensive pellets=Great
with cheap pellets=6" variation at 30 yards
gun weight is prohibitive for long walks
still hunting or target shooting is perfect for this weapon.....It is great fun
Overall quality is impressive

Its terrible - no exaggeration. I had to throw the mounts out and had them re-done professionally. It didn't work - I'll be shopping for a new scope. An air gun requires a good quality scope.

It DO friend, it sure DO. The stalk design is symmetric and there are no actions on either side. It would feel the same for right or left handed persons.Details:Â
i was just wondering if the color was lighter or what not and if there is a nice grain pattern on the actual item....plus is the stock glossy?Answers

Photo is about right but its like a hamburger - it always looks better in the ad!A:Â
color is pretty much as shown on-line although the on-line image is pretty small. Mine is medium brown and has quite a nice grain and I would say is between a satin and a glossy finish; I like it and appears good quality for a less than $200 air rifle/scope outfit.Q:Â

Not as loud as a .22 cal. Like a normal pellet gun. A friend told me that if you shoot from inside the house a ways, it muffles the sound some what...A:Â

Well JC64, it WILL be AT FIRST.Like a new engine (or anything else you know that needs breaking in), it WILL take some time to break in.
Once the greases and oils and stuff have made their way around inside the gun, it WILL quiet down immensely.
Some say the first 500-1,000 shots are the "break in" period for airguns. But since they are all made differently, you'll just have to listen.
Personally, I own this piece and I got it quiet in about 200-250 shots.
Don't forget to tighten EVERYTHING every 100 or so shots while it "breaks in". So many people forget that as things settle, they can loosen, move, etc.
It's good habit to check every time you clean your barrel to ALSO check screws and bolts.
Have fun shooting! The Ruger Airhawk Elite has become my favorite rifle! (btw: Although it's made in China, it's actually designed by RWS! ;).

Between shots - if you can get it sighted in. I recommend a new scope.A:Â
Well the answer is...NEVER.
You see, this particular airgun was not designed by Ruger, but rather ENDORSED by Ruger. It's actually developed by RWS. In fact, the entire thing (except for the stock) is the same assembly as the RWS Panther!
Now the reason I say "never" is simple. RWS DO make some of the finest air rifles you will ever lay eyes on, HOW EVER, a majority of them cary the trait of having their barrels "lean down" ever so slightly. Only ONE rifle ring manufacturer has compensated for this.
Next time you go to the store, tell someone you have a "Diana RWS" and you need a "Leapers Scope base WITH A BACKWARD SLANT".
THAT will solve your issue. RWS has this mount on a majority of their guns (which are manufactured by Diana; owner of RWS).
BTW: don't forget to tighten ALL the stock mounting screws. Check them from time to time until they stop moving. Just keep checking during the first 500 rounds.
Also, when you get the right mount, check out "scope sighting" on YouTube.
Knowledge is power.
Have fun and be safe! L8R!

Depends on how well you have it secured. I was adjusting mine all the time until I used some blue locktiteon the mounting screws.
