My finger has been "hovering" over the "buy" button on that Sportsmansguide blackhawk for a couple of days now.   With a $10 off coupon it would only be $79 bucks,,, that's kinda hard to beat....  

I have always wanted to get a .177 Panther (I love my .22)  and I keep getting tempted to get this blackhawk and see how it shoots....  

gotta resist,,,, gotta resist.......

The Ruger Gene reviewed had barrel droop. Does that mean this will also have droop?  If so, does that mean only a problem when you scope the gun?

Good Health!

Mike, a later post I put up I told the story. No barrel droop. It was the scope. It was my first BSA that went bad. I put a Bushnell on it and it shot fine. So there was no droop as far as I could tell. Redfeather owns the gun now so maybe he will chime in on this.

The way I look at this is the Ruger Air Hawks are total clones of the RWS 34, with maybe the exception of the stock quality. It tunes and shoots the same as my RWS 34's do. If this gun had been out before I bought my RWS 34's I would have probably of bought a Ruger instead. Allot less money and exactly the same gun right down to the trigger. I do not own an Beeman R-9 for that exact same reason that the B-20 and the B-26 IMO are the same and shoot the same, with the exception of course in the stock and the R-9 is available in .20 and the B series are not.

You're not helpin me Gene   :)

now I'm really tempted to push the button on the Blackhawk....   I always wanted a Panther in .177 and with you saying the air hawk clones (same as the blackhawk)  shoot just the same as the 34's  I don't know how I can resist ordering one now  :)

Only a 100 bucks, huh?  Let's see, 100 bucks for the gun, plus Gene's services, another Leapers scope and additional Accushot mount.  Okay, carry the 3 add a couple oo's....Oh Man!  I shoulda stuck with centerfires..lol  Cool thing about this one, my 11 year old could cock it by himself.

I'm sorta thinking that nice looking Hunter Sport in the classifieds, the Ruger, Meisterschutze Pro and the 220 sure would look mighty fine sitting next to each other.

I gotta get back to work before they realize I'm in here...

Bob, it's easy to see you're fast becoming an air gun addict like the rest of us  :)

You've got all the symptoms buddy and I can personally tell you there aint no cure  :)

Thanks Jeff....I can't believe I just ordered this thing...after reading your PM, thank you very much.  Man, now I'm even buying them while I'm at work....lol  I'll take your advice and just get this one...Now, I gotta get back to work, lunch hour was over about 30 minutes ago...

you guys trying to pass this disease over to me......LMAO  ahhh sooo tempting... I want to buy it but I don't have the Scratch!!!

I've had one now for around a month to test and play with, the plastic stock will make any vibration more evident. Out of the box they are just like an RWS rifle, vibrate to beat heck, the velocity is right at 1000 with Lasers but the accuracy with those is junk, best I've found digging through the left over tins is the 10 gr H & N Barracudas, Wait another month or so and the B-25 will be here in .22, claimed velocity for the .22 is 820...claimed velocity for the B-26 in .22 is 880...

The Ruger Air Hawk I bought from Pyramid had the wooden stock. Yes it is exactly the clone of the RWS 34. A tune took the normal noise and vibration out of it though.

Don't know about that eleven year old.  Maybe if he's a big'un.  Gene put a JM spring in that Air Hawk and it is a good bit harder to cock than the Shadows I had.  Of course, what goes in must come out, so it shoots well.  No twang, just thump.
