20th Aug 2002
Overall Rating
- Value for money
- Handling
- Accuracy
Power! Accuracy. The gun, I believe can take down coyotes.
Bad Points
Heavy. At 9lbs this gun is very heavy. The side cocker does not snap closed as I feel it should.
General Comments
The RWS model 54 is the most powerful .22 caliber air rifle I have had or seen. After purchasing the Model 54 I wanted to test it's power so I set up a metal container that I once used to water my dog and shot it from 30 yards - straight through. My other .22 caliber would only go through one side and land.That company boasted 900fps from that gun. I wanted to see if the 54 would penetrate the container with a wadcutter - it did at 20 yards. Then I put a metal can in front of the container and shot through the metal can and the front side of the container putting a dent in the back of it. I feel the only reason it did not go through is because of the trajectory ( I'm 6'5 ), I think it hit the ground before hitting the back part of the container. I have a simmons 3-9 x 100 scope and accuracy is not a problem with the beeman Match pellets or the benjamin diablos (great pellets), however, the rws pointed pellets beyond 20 yards are horrid. I like the rws pointed pellet because of it's seemingly high velocity and especially it's exit through a metal can but if I were hunting game and needed to shoot 50 yards this pellet would miss the mark at least by 3inches. The diablo is my favorite because it roots throgh just about anything. I give my 54 a low rating for it's weight and side cocking mechanism but an A+ in power and an A in accuracy.
