Just Pushed Button On New Ruger Air Hawk .177

[Joe D]

I hate to rain on this love fest, but you guys might want to read Vinceb's review of the Ruger before you punch the buy button. I realize they have added a metal trigger and scope stop but it has the same power plant.
There are much better guns for about the same money = Hammerli Titan.
BTW the last time I talked with Umarex they still had some RWS 94 refurbs for $99. Neither the Titan nor the Ruger are as nice as a 94.
The 94 requires no trigger work and certainly does not need a tune. My two 94s are as smooth as glass.

You are not raining on my parade Joe.. I love springers and usually buy many of them just to tune and see how the outcome is. With me it is a love affair with these cheaper made air rifles. I did read Vince's review on them and frankly I think the Air Hawk is worth it for me to check out. I also read Tom Gaylord's review as well. So being a little skeptical I am gonna give the Air Hawk another view...

Ya Jeff, you know how I am.. All springers are good in my opinion until provin otherwise.. Will be letting you know soon.

I just ran a couple 10 shot strings with FTS's:  874 average, 19 spread, 5 deviation and 882 average, 24 spread, 6 deviation. This is with a Maccari spring/seal that isn't quite broken in yet. Pellets not weighed.

I like those numbers if those pellets are the same weight as the JSB Exacts.
