    My Model 52 Firebird .22 is older than my 20 year old daughter and is still taking Rabbits out at 50m. I have a old shrike 4 X 32 scope and as a combination it has performed beautifully. No Pheasant, Crow, Woody, Squirrel or Rat is safe within 70m of this rifle and although heavier than todays PCP's ...

    Using Beeman Kodiaks (.22), the RWS 52 will consistantly put all shots through the same hole at 10 yds. Only accurate with the heavier pellets (>18 gr.) and it's a very heavy gun

    RWS 52 has accuracy and power but very heavy and hard to cock but a great air rifle nonetheless.

    I have the rws 52 and it works perfectly no flaws and solidly made, when you cock the side lever make sure you cock it all the way to the limit, or otherwise you will have the jamming problem, my 52 is already 8 yrs old and I use it every week and clean the barrrel 2x a year use daisy's pellugnoil w ...

    The RWS 52 is an absolute blast to shoot, it will cut tiny ragged holes that can be covered by a portion of a dime at 35 yards. over 1000 birds, squirrels, and a fox have dropped from the rws 52 in 22. i have dropped a bird at 85 yards and watched him drop through the limbs like a pin ball. bar none ...

    Of my 4 airguns this is my favorite. I have the .22 caliber version. The solid feel ( again, maybe a little heavy), smooth trigger pull and piston operation, make it an absolute pleasure to shoot.

    I found the best pellets for me are the Crosman Premier and the Beeman Kodiak. Using the adequate fac ...

    Sensitive to pellet type. Heavier the better. Although these can push light pellets at the advertised speeds it is unwise to use super lightweight pellets. (i.e. prometheus) out of this gun. For long life and accuracy use 10.5 gr. Pellets such a Crossman Premiers for field use.

    I bought an RWS 52 from Straight Shooters. The gun arrived quickly and broke the first time I cocked it. ( I had read one reviews on their site that had the same problem). I called Kevin at SS and was told I had to deal with Umarex warranty repair. I had just paid $500 bucks with shipping for the gu ...

    I had this gun for about a year now, it was a .22 caliber, after about a thousand shots i modified the gun's piston. I drilled a hole into the piston to lighten up. Then i chrongraphed the pellet with the RWS super point and hollow point and i consistently measured about 1060ft/sec. ANd the accuracy ...

    I had the RWS 52 air rifle .177 for 15 years, and finally it broke and I chose not to fix it. It never was accurate. It was OK with a really heavy Kodiak pellet, but still not good. The gun is way too heavy! Too heavy for me to shoot accurately from a standing position.
