RWS 94 .22cal Review

Overall Rating

POWER! Lets just say the power is very very good for price. Very accaurate (after break in). Wooden stock (a nice change from all my plastic airguns) Two-stage adjustable trigger. Adjusts down to 2 lbs. Open sights very good and seems to always stay on target. A nice interchanable front site is pretty neat. Safety is also a neat design.

Manual is a little unprofessional. The safety is a little hard to pull out once its pushed into firing positoin. The metal retains all fingerprints and sweat smears from cocking, and has to always be wiped down. Other than that nothing really.

Excellent is the one word to describe this gun. I am very pleased with this rifle's performance and apperance. It is very powerful for me. I have been able to kill a starling at 50 yds no problem. This will probaly shake off most cheap scope rings so get some tough ones like BKL or something. Open sights are great( I'm using irons because of technical difficulties with scope). I had to adjust mine because it was shootin high. It is perfect at 25-30 yds an you wont even need to aim higher for father distnces with open sites. It could proably take game up to the size of a coon with good shot placement. I think this is the best gun for under $200 and I beleive it beats the BSA supersport. But dont take my advice got an try an RWS 94 .22 cal for yourself you wont regret it

  I don't know how you are getting kills at 50 yards. I can't mine to shoot a 2" pattern at 30 and I'm using the RWS scope that came with the gun. What pellets have you tried? Maybe that's my problem....

  Texasgreg,
  
  I have this rifle as well and have made the same kind of kills this user has. Your scope, your mounts, and your pellets are your problem. I've spent $100 in trial an error finding the right mounts for this rifle. After which I've settled on BKL 1 piece mount. I will never change the mounts and I will never recommend anything else. You can get the mounts at www.straightshooters.com. My scope is great and holding up well I have a Tasco 2.5-10X42mm on mine. However, I think your scope might be ok just your mounts are huge problem. Although I would definitely recommend another scope. My mounts were $50 and so was the scope. Actaully I did have a Swift 4-12X40mm on it at first but favored the mil-dot reticule and better light transmission of the Tasco. As for pellets oooo man that's another big deal. I've found the RWS 94 .22 caliber to be a tad picky about which lead it likes to eat. The pellets I use these days are JSB Exacts and Gamo Match. Other than that I've not found a pellet that performs much how I like it. With that set bro I think you'd be good to go and never again regret your decision of purchasing this air rifle. Just two bits of advice though. 1) It's generally a bad idea to buy gun/scope combos as they set you up with poor optics and mounts 2) Use blue lock-tite on your mount and rifle stock screws....makes the world of difference. With that I'll let you go and feel free to ask anymore questions.
