For that price you defiantly cannot go wrong guys. For those of you who just except all new guns out of the box to shoot to your liking, may not like the Ruger Air Hawk. But if you give them a good tune you will enjoy shooting them very much. Like I have said often they are almost the exact same build as the ever popular RWS 34.......

Probably a good deal since my new un-refurbished Airhawk is still spraying pellets after two months of shooting.  But it is slowly getting better.  I probably have close to 2000 pellets of various kinds and shapes.  I now get only about one loose shot out of five.  Meaning that 4 shots can be covered by a dime or nickle but there is almost always one that is 3/4" or more away from the group.

I've been playing with all kinds of different holds, hold positions, etc.  It is still too stiff for my 69 year old arms to cock more than a few times.  But I place the butt on the floor on a piece of carpet, hold the stock with my right hand and shove the barrel down with my left. Then I load the pellet and lift the whole rifle up to the shooting position.  I can tell you one thing for sure, is that I am much stronger now at least using that muscle group!

I guess the sale price plus the cost of a tune job would be a better deal than paying full retail plus a tune!

okay so I got the gun in the mail today.  it came with the original box which looked really beat up, and had a shipping label from umarex to some cabelas distributor on the original.  The metal after I cleaned it was flawless, but the stock on the other hand has it's fair share of knicks and dings.  I shot the gun to make sure everything was in working order.  The trigger on this gun is GREAT.  I love the light pull it has. I didn't even adjust the pull.  Compared to my Crossman g1 extreme this gun has a shorter cocking stroke.  I like the ball at the base of the barrel to lock in the barrel to the reciever.  It has no play what so ever....   This gun is tramp stamped with two R's  which I have pics of, but I plan on re staining and re finishing the stock because it is beat up.  The gun did diesel on the first 2-3 shots but that was it.  I dunno if this gun was shot by the original owner.  it also has a little heavier recoil than my g1.  
I might do another review once I get the scope on and get some rounds through it to see how accurate it is, but
That is it,  For 75 bucks shipped I'm not complaining.  I am going to redo the stock anyway so, This was a Great Deal and shipped in a hurry!  Thanx longislandhunter for posting it up and everyone else who had input.

GRT kit from Jim Maccari is an aftermarket spring and guide for the Diana 34 and fits the Air Hawk. By the way The Air Hawk Elite muzzle break is only 19.99(plus shipping) from Umarex and fits like a glove.

Call them up at 479-646-4210 ext 71 ask them for one. The part # on my invoice is 108066. Shipping was $5.95. $25.94 is cheaper than a Beeman and it is steel.
