General Comments
RWS 52 - a lot has been written about accuracy problems and actual velocity levels versus advertising. Read a full review at straightshooters.com as well as the other resources on this site. I found their insights to be helpful in narrowing down choices for a backyard bunny problem and everyday plinker. I received my rws/diana m48 .22cal. yesterday. I purchased from basspro.com for $299+shipping. Wood quality, fit/finish were very good. I swabbed the barrel with 8-9 dry patches to get the shipping/preservation oils out and wiped the exterior with a soft cloth. I heard the gun would be sighted-in (open sights) from the factory, but shot initially at 15 ft. to be sure. No windage adjustment was necessary, but was shooting 2" low with 1/4 in. group. I moved to 40 ft. and shot a 5 shot 1/2 in. group with one flier caused by anticipation. Ihe other 4 shots were a one-hole group in the bull, slightly to the right. Again, no windage or elevation adjustment necessary. This was done with accupell 14.3 gr. round-nose. I've only fired 20-30 rounds so far, but couldn't expect any better results even with more breaking-in. Power seems okay. I was shooting into a cardboard box filled with magazines and was penetrating seven consumer reports of about 50 pages each. I couldn't be more pleased with my initial experience and would recommend to anyone seeking a stout rifle with very capable performance.
