General Comments

I've owned the RWS 54 for about a year now and I still enjoy this gun. Its quite heavy to lug around, but for a bench shooter, it's great.
The weight does balance out suprisingly well though.

My 54 untuned will push 14.3 grain Premiers at around 840fps. JSB Exacts also do well in this gun. The Kodiaks and heavier pellets do not do so well.

At 30-40 yards, I can regularly get dime sized groups with no problem if I do my part. On a windless day, I can get half dollar sized groups at 50 yards and even at that range, this gun has plenty of power for hunting or pest control.

Not for a smaller shooter, the 54 with scope, mounts will weigh around 10lbs.

The gun has a unique feature that will dampen the recoil felt by the shooter. This does not mean, however that you dont need GOOD scope mounts and a springer rated scope. I find the RWS C-mount to be a bit awkward but have heard good things about the Beeman one peice mount.
