General Comments

Me and my granpa both bought this RWS 350 gun and we both ran into the same problem as everyone else, Its acurarcy sucks, and we cant get groups smaller than 5 -6 inches, we tried 5 differant typs of pellets and the best we found were gold ones.

    hmmm... I would have normally said : "you probably got a lemon"... but I suspect you are not holding this quality German air rifle correctly. search on Google: how to properly hold an air rifle. It makes the world of difference!!!!

    You did not say if you have the .177 or .22 caliber. If the .177, be aware the Velocity rating is listed at 1250 fps. Anything over 1080 fps is going supersonic so ANY pellet will begin to tumble and lose accuracy. You must slow it down either by using a heavy pellet or by detuning.

    I suppose I'll have to concur with you on the occasional poor manufacturing quality of the 350's that are made. Most are well made. As 99% of the reviews are positive.

    I also encountered a poorly made 350 model that slipped through the final inspection. I did have to send it back, of which upon a quick turn around time yielded an extremely reliable & accurate rifle.

    It is a big gun, requiring the shooter to work out physically so as to "learn" to shoot such a power plant. Mine is a .350 in .22 caliber. And yes I get tired holding it up, shooting and cocking. After an hour I'm pooped, I don't bench rest the gun, I sit or stand free.

    Yes there are guns that shoot easier and are more accurate if not just as. But I feel the reason the RWS 350 in either caliber is so popular is that buyers, consumers or airgun shooters want the "power" ....and the balance of better made manufacturing components & quality than most other brands that have cut costs by using plastic or producing it "off shore".

    I hope you give the RWS 350 another chance. And if not that's okay too, I'm just as picky as to what I like to shoot. The 350's come in a wide array of features & configurations now, if you go to diana mayer gammel spacher.com or diana airguns .com.
    As for Umarex and their customer service, I was treated well. I always approach customer services carefully.

    Never criticize your mechanic before or when he is tuning your car.
