RWS MODEL 48 AIR RIFLE .22

i have a25 year old rws 45 still works great but wanted to upgrade to a 22 with more power so i reaserched 22 air rifles and decided on the rws 48 . buds gun shop was the lowest price available . including shipping it was less than all other dealers. recieved it in 4 buisness days put my center point air gun scope on it and was shooting dime size groups once sighted in. 90 percent of shots passed through 1/2 in birch plyboard.very strong very accurate and less than 9 dollars for 500 pellets.best thing abought airrifles is the lighter pellets loose power over distance because of the pellet weight 12.4 grains.max distance is 650 yards if shot 45 degree angle.only draw back is the weight 10.3 lbs with scope.if your looking for a quality air rifle i would highly recomend paying the extra for rws german made quality. in air guns the gun is the power source not gun powder and you get what you pay for.
