RWS M94 .177 Caliber Review

Overall Rating

Great value!

Please read review

Like most of the others offering reviews, I made my decision to purchase the RWS M94 .177 Caliber air rifle after reading the comments at Review Centre. I have not been disappointed! I support all of the positive comments you'll read on this site, but I want to point out some minor problems that I encountered.

I found the stock to be a little long. RWS might be wise to shorten the stock and allow the user to add a thicker pad if needed.
My first two shots resulted in a loud report, louder than a .22 rimfire. It wasn't until the third shot produced the expected noise that I realized the gun had dieseled. I assume the dieseling was from contamination with an inapropriate oil.
The mounting holes for the rear site are oversize. Even after tightning, the sight could move enough to move the point of impact 1.5" at 25 yards. I have been using the scope and will be installing an after market peep site.
For anyone experiencing accuracy problems, I recommend trying a heavier pellet. Try something around 10 gr.
Overall, I believe you will find the RWS M94 to be the best value in it's class!

For anyone researching or using an adult air rifle I recommend the following sites. They are loaded with information on guns, ammunition and the care and feeding of your air rifle.
