I'll have to check out the RWS pellet rifles...

I think my Umarex gun from Atwoods might be ok....it works well...hits hard...however the accuracy stinks!

I didn't have a lot of time to shoot it yesterday evening....but couldn't get it dialed in with the 'iron' sights(plastic)….so I mounted-up the cheap Chinese scope that was included....couldn't get it dialed in either!

Looking the Umarex gun over post first shots...nice clean micro-groove bore...muzzle crown clean/nice...then I noticed the front sight assembly was about 1/4" or more too far forward. The front sight base is part of the barrel crown and should fit flush/tight against the end of the barrel. I whacked it with the palm of my hand and it slid back into place. Looks like loc-tite and a set screw is the factory install method. And they botched it

I think the accuracy issue I was having is because of the front sight base trapping muzzle blast as the pellet leaves the bore....just sending the pellet where-ever. We shall see this evening
