Hello,

     Has anyone seen this new rifle or have any information on it ?  It has a black synthetic stock. Thanks...

$159.50 plus $11.00 UPS. Looks like a S1K.  I think it is the same as the RWS 34 wood stock rifle but a bit lighter.

Identical to the standard RWS 34 except for the plastic stock.  I love my 34, although on a hunt it is a little bit on the heavy side, weighing 7.5lbs.  I can't seem to find a weight on the Panther, but I would assume it is lighter.  I'll have to check one out sometime.

My 34 seems to like a bit heavier pellet, 9.3gr. Beeman's doing the best for me.  Anything much lighter and it seems to scatter them all over the target at 35yds.  Because of the weight (and a bit of shakiness on my part due to some meds I'm on) I use shooting sticks and am able to get 1" groups at 35yds fairly consistently.  I don't have a chrono, but the lead that's left in the trap is VERY flat/splintered at that distance, even with the 9.3gr. pellet.
