Written on: 05/07/2010 by AirgunAddict (10 reviews written)
Often a beautiful gun compared to the 48. Not quite as elegant or easy to shoot as the 54, but still a great rifle to keep in the gun-case. I've owned three 52's and they are solid, very heavy shooters.
For the money they are a great gun, but in this shooters opinion, if you are going to 'step-up' from the 48...make it a real step and just get the 54.

Written on: 03/07/2010
My father has the .22 version of this rifle and it's a great gun for teens and adults. I used to shoot my friends Daisy .177 and it was good for acuracy, but horrible for stopping power, you usually need a follow-up shot to effectivly kill it. But using this rifle, I can give almost anything a one-shot kill within 100m. Flat out, I love it. With good care and maintenance, this gun could easlily last another 10-20 years, and never be replaced in my mind. (read more)

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 they will never pack the same punch.

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 factory Scope, once sighted in with the proper pellets, I never miss. Most of my shooting is between 20 and 50 yards. Occasionally I knock crows down in the 70-80 yards range. The .22 caliber...

It seems you either got a lemon or are particularly rough on the unit. I had my RWS 52 for over a year now and have shot it over 100 times and find it as solid as the day I bought it. It in fact is better since airguns need break in time and get smoother as time goes by.
<br/>I have had excellent service from Cabela's. They know who butters their bread so if you can find what you are looking for...buy from them!

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.

The RWS 52 gun is everything that I was looking for in an air rifle. I was hitting consistantly in a two inch target, at 10 meters, after a short while of tuning the open sights. For pellets, I found that the heavier pellets did provide me with more accurate groupings. I have had good luck with Beeman Silver Arrows and RWS super mags. Both are shooting fine. I have now purchased a BSA 2-7X32 scope and can't wait for the Michigan winter weather to break so I can really see what this gun can... (read more)

I have had my RWS 52 (22 cal) for almost 10 years now. I chronied it yesterday with an F-1 chrony 3 feet from the muzzle with 15.74 grain Beeman silver bears at 903 fps. Thats OVER 28 ft-lbs of energy. I was shooting my air rifles today and realized by comparison that the RWS 52 is a natural aimer. With the open sights it is a very steady rifle. Compared to my RWS 36 it is so much more steady. Cocking is very easy and I can imagine having no trouble cocking it if it were twice as hard. I... (read more)

Written on: 28/07/2005
One correction to this review, the Beeman Silver Bear Pellet in .22 cal does not weigh 15.74 grains, it only weighs 12.65 grains. This would explain the 903 FPS velocity. I have the RWS 52 in .177 cal and shoot Beeman Silver Arrows 11.50 grains and Kodiak Pellets 10.60 grains so I would expect my velocity to be closer to 930-950. This gun in .177 cal with these pellets will allow it to shoot as close to the sound barrier as possible but still stay subsonic.
<br> This will allow for the highest velocity, flattest trajectory and greatest accuracy potential of this gun to be realised.
<br>I Plan on trying the 16.1 grain Eun Jin pellet, this should drop the velocity below 900 FPS but might result in even better long range accuracy.

Warning to all RWS 52 .177 cal users: The Eun Jin Pellet WILL NOT fit in the bore, the diameter of the pellet is larger than .177 cal. I contacted the store I bought them from www.pyramidair.com and they shipped me a tin of Silver Arrows free of charge for the trouble. They said they would make a notation on their site about it. After trying about ten differnt pellets the Beeman Silver Arrow shines. It consistently shoots the tighest groups with the Kodiak Match pulling up second place.

I think he is right on the money about this riffel. Oh and I don't know what kind of Beeman Silver Bear pellet that other guy who commented is using but his info is wrong. The Beeman Silver Bear .22 cal. pellet is as the reviewer stated: 15.74 grain. (Beeman Silver Bear pellets) are 7.10, 9.88, 15.74, 26.42, grain That's the .177 .20 .22 and .25 respectively.

Written on: 07/01/2004 by Paul Heise (1 review written)
After having tried dozens of different pellets (.177) with various points (flat - rounded - hollow - pointed - etc.) of various brands, I found that all of them gave a relatively low accuracy. Since I started using Baracuda Match Extra Heavy pellets I can typically score under 0.5" at 40 yards !! They are ideal for pest control as well. My advice: get rid of the cheap lightweight pellets and start using the heavier ones, and you'll be surprised how well they'll shoot. (read more)

Beeman Silver Arrows are heavier than the Barracuda's (Arrows 11.50gr Barracuda's 10.65gr) and will shoot even tighter groups. Try them.

My problem with accuracy was that I was shooting a light (8.2 gr MeisterK's) pellet in .17 cal. This gave me a velosity of ~1100 ft/sec, or the speed of sound. Breaking the sound barrier is not good in an air rifle. I switched to a Crossman Premier Heavy (10.5 grain) which kept me sub-sonic and it was like night and day. I went from 4 MOA @ 15 yards to one hole groups, with more power down range. I can actually make small adjustments on the scope an see the POI change. I could not do that... (read more)

Deadly on crows at 30 yds? A crow is a pretty big target at 30 yards, probably 6-8 inches at the center of mass. I bought mine to control crows too but after hitting one, the others left the area.
<br>I can hit those targets pretty often shooting offhand. But accuracy in MOA for my rifle remains at about 4+ MOA and if it were a high power rifle, I would not take into the field until I had it tuned up to shoot 1/2 of that.
<br>You mention you use the BEEMAN C mounts? I'm using the RWS C mounts, which I stand by my claim as being the most terrible design I could imagine.
<br>Try sitting down at a benchrest and shooting, you may find that those misses you have may not be your ability but the rifles.
<br>Cheers and good shooting.

About the best I can do from a bench at an indoor range is 1 inch (2.5 cm) 15 yards. Just when I think I've got it zero'd something shifts and I'm throwing pellets to a different point of impact. If I clean the bore (Otis cleaning system)it shifts the point of impact. It seems to be very tempermental.

I just have to disagree with you. This gun IS very accurate. Just remember that it is a springer and will not beat a match rifle of course but for a springer it deserves respect.
<br>
<br>Sure, a R7 or 46 Stuntzen will beat it, but by very little, and those 2 rifles are low powered (reason in part for accuracy).
<br>
<br>This rifle is capable of 1 hole groupings at 10 yards and will do about half inch at 30 yards with a decent shooter behind it. Just remember that getting good at shooting a magnum springer requires a LOT of practice, as with any springer, and some people will never master it and will blame it on the rifle. This is an accurate rifle (for a springer of course) and I stand by my statement that anyone in the community of airgunning with a little knowledge about springers will have respect for this rifle.
<br>
<br>I have a 34 which is considered inferior to the 48 in terms of accuracy (and power) because it is not a fix barrel (just the fact of having the smallest play in the pivot joint will have effect from shot to shot accuracy, but NOT by much)and I am not bragging when I say I do consistent dime size groupings at 20 yards (60 feet), that is with the 34. Sprigners are just VERY hold sensitive and you must not hold it tight or try to control the recoil.
<br>
<br>I first noticed that the best rest point of the rifle is where it will stay balanced if you would let go of it. I trashed 2 scopes before I went with the Bushnell Sportman (which is the minimum I would recommend for that springer) and I went through alot of mounts until I got the RWS 1 piece c-mount with allen screws and scope stop integrated.
<br>
<br>Anyways, try www.straightshooters.com: I think the ones owning that site know their stuff and I would bet that they have good comments about that rifle.
<br>
<br>I am just trying to give an decent springer what it deserves. Good shooting

I don't know what pellet you're shooting but if you're shooting the .17 cal and a light pellet, try going with a heavy (10.5 gr.) pellet. You do not want to be breaking the sound barrier on an air rifle. Also, you can not use a normal rifle scope, they are not braced for the recoil on an air rifle. Send more particulars on what you're shooting on your next post.

BTW they are $165 shipped free at opticsplanet.com. Thats the best price I could find. I would never trust a BSA in a high power air rifle.

I bought my RWS 48 recently and have no regrets. I was a little put off by some reviews citing the recoil and trigger as a hinderance to accuracy. Before I had this gun I had a Gamo Shadow 1000. The Shadow was a decent gun for the price but the RWS 48 is far ahead. After shooting that gun, and returning it because of accuracy problems and a dislike for the trigger, I can say that the RWS 48 is far easier to be accurate with and has a superior trigger. This should improve with age too.... (read more)

I bought a model 27 and thought, what a nice gun. A week later I got a model 48 and wow, what power. I had to change my backgrounds completely when targetshooting with the 48. The pellets just go through everything, except steel that I used as a last resort.
The gun is very accurate. If you shoot at 10 or 40 meters, you hit your target on a regular basis. The targets I refer too are used shotgun cartridges. Combine the 48 with a 9x40 scope, and you have a winner.

This RWS 48 is really my first experience with a adult air rifle. My only other air gun experience is with a Crossman pump, the Crossman is a fine gun for plinking beer cans but doesn't compare with the 48 a true Adult air rifle. First I am impressed with the power of these guns. This isn't for backyard plinking in the suburbs, and must be handled in the same manner you would a 22LR.

Dear "Carpetman"
<br>Thanks for your positive critisism on this rifle.
<br>My 48B (0.177) Black Version will be delivered to me end of September. I have taken note of your comments re the safety catch and agree with you if this is so, your solution makes sense.
<br>
<br>If you are correct re the plastic on the trigger, than I will be quite unhappy about it as you justly condemned.
<br>
<br>Going back for the Safety catch, I have two other rifles at home - a Gamo Hunter 1250 and a Weihrauch HK97K. The one on the HK97K is a bit of a pain, because once disengaged, you can put it back on safe thus you have to fire the shot or else your asking for trouble.
<br>
<br>The best I found is the one on Gamo with a pull back lever just in front of the trigger and the trigger is locked.

<br>I just ordered my Diana 48B - 0.177(Black version) which should be delivered to me by end of September. My feeling about this gun is as per your comments and I hope its so.
<br>I ordered it equipped with bipod, Simmons scope, and modified silencer as I could find a standard one for it, although being a spring gun, the noise will still be there.
<br>
<br>I'm in love with these guns and in fact I also have a Weihrauch HK97K (0.22), scoped with Gamo (BSA)9 x 32 and a Hunter Gamo 1250 (0.177)with a same BSA scope as the Weihrauch. They are all good strong rifles, but by now so are my biceps.

I have three of the RWS/Diana M48s, in .22 and .25. This design will go down in airgun history as one of the world's greatest, especially for field hunting. They are extremely accurate, compact, and just seem to point naturally where the pellet should go. And when the pellet arrives on target, the energy imparted by the Diana powerplant offers great effect and authority.

<br>Yes, the 48 demonstrates German precision design and engineering at its best at a price that can be considered a great bargain.

I've had nothing but stellar service from Cabellas. You should use them whenever possible.
