They went on sale for $65 last week so I picked one up.the trigger isn't as good as the RWS 34 it is supposed to be a clone of but it is serviceable.the fit and finish is rather nice for a Chinese gun.it hasn't shot lighter cheap pellets as well as my TX200 or RWS48 but it will do 1.5" with Crosman pointed pellets.With JSB exacts,RWS Superdomes it gets just at orslightly under 1"(25 meters).When I went to CP Heavies groups got 3/4 and with Stoeger 11.55g pellets it was under 3/4 with alot of pellet on pellet.I went to 50 yds tonight and got many groups at 2" with a couple in the 1.5" range.this was from a kneeling position.For the money I can't complain.

I don't believe that harry pope would use a Chinese gun.

not to hijack a thread, but I bought a ruger blackhawk .177 a while back and I think it's as loud as a 22lr just wondered if they all were

I finally saw an airHawk in a local store, $150! At first i didnt think that wasnt a bad price. But after seeing the OP got his for $65. Ill sit and wait!

Went into the local Bass Pro today. The Airhawk was selling for $119.99 with scope. It looked like a nice rifle. The scope was very clear if it holds up.

I have picked off cottontails in the garden at 60 steps with crossman prem. hps out of my airhawk.

Sure surprised me.
