is the tf89 as accurate and powerful as the 350m.

I agree with Thomas..... I think the 350 is an outstanding rifle and hunter.  My .22 350 is a joy to shoot and has the accuracy and power I want for hunting.  I personally don't find the 350 hold sensitive or hard to shoot accurately, far from it, I find it very easy to shoot accurately.  Is it long ?  Yes.  Is it heavy ?  Yes , but I don't have a problem with either and find the rifle comfortable to shoot.  I also own a .22 TF-89.  My TF-89 is accurate and very powerful and a great hunting rifle, but I'd choose the 350 over the 89 for power, accuracy and overall quality every time.  Did my 350 cost more than my 89 ?  Sure did,, but it was worth every penny to me.  

These are of course my opinions of my guns.  I realize others may have a different opinion but that's OK because we're all entitled to our own likes and dislikes.

I own a 350 Pro Compact in .22 and that rifle is most definately a jack- hammer to shoot....... I guess I can be a "power junkie" at times but I have to agree with Mark611 and say that the power is wasted on punching paper. Yes the rifle can be quite challenging to shoot, but once mastered can be very, very accurate (make sure you work out though, they are a heavy rifle scoped up). I love my 350 and can't imagine getting rid of the powerhouse........now I gotta tear the beast down again and re-lube it.....didn't do such a hot job last time apparently.....stinkin thing is deiseling like crazy and is on the verge of getting detonation...starting to crack just a little too loudly...........

I shot both the TF 89 today and the 350 just goofing around. Just my honest opinion, I think the 350 is worth the money.  It is smoother, more accurate, and is prettier  However, the accurate and the power are so close that I wouldn't turn my back on my 89 either.

I favor the TF-89 over the RWS -350.. I like certain models of Diana/RWS but the 350 is not one of them.. Yes I know the TF-89 is a Chinese gun but the trigger and shooting cycle after a tune has got the edge on an RWS 350 for sure.. JMO

Good to hear that out of your mouth Gene! Sometimes I wonder if there is something obvious I missed in the 350. You help make those TF89s SWEET with your tunes. Not a slight on RWS guns, as you say, and I have two RWS guns that I think have more potential (that 48 I traded for will be nice when I'm done with it, and I've a Cometa Fenix that is really an RWS 94). Just never warmed to the RWS 350.

I have 4 Gene-tuned guns. Don't go missing out on THAT experience!

i have had my 350m.22 for about 8 months and its a great rifle however i also have a b30.22that is a homerun everytime and i use iron sites out to 30yds and homerun but with the rws350m.22 it take me two or three shots to hit it cause i dont use it as much as i should but it is a favorite and i didnt pay much and got a complete package from phil b and his 350 was on point and tuned with maccari of everthing u could think of thats why i bought it, but as for the b30.22 and b26.177and b25.22 bamboo which r chinese airrifles credit has to be given to them for the improvement that has been made with them so china u will have two thumbs up from me .im a springer person cause i have master there hold and gotten used to there sound ,recoil,trigger and mostly price but to me it less expensive and space for other things in need for the arsenal ,german rifles r excellent for shootin but it more like a collective type of airgun where as the chinese airguns u could go anywhere with them without worring how much u paid,but a pcp is in order for me especially an affordable one or even a trade ...thanks for sharing guys ..God bless us all and our family as well ...from a friend jorgie porgie
