  RWS Model 34 Scoped Air Rifle Reviews

I cannot recall using the model 34, but RWS makes good air rifles with a good muzzle velocity. The 34 is an older model and can be bought for less than $200. I looked at it on the net and I have probably shot that model before or one of its bigger brothers. I think this is a spring/piston design which is extremely reliable.

I would expect the RWS rifle to make single hole groups in paper at 10 yds. It will also do nicely if this relates to the Turkey Vulture posting. I would choose .22 caliber for the Vultures. Scope is a matter of preference. I personally prefer a scope or peep sights because my 50+ year old eyes don't like open sights anymore.

If you already have a shotgun, have you considered rubber buckshot? It will have the range and it should not kill them unless they are very close.

I use "bird bombs" that are kind of like a loud firecracker that is shot out of my shotgun. I have no idea if these are legal in your state.

I agree about the accuracy of a spring powered gun. The spring powered guns have a funny recoil also as the spring action can tend to pull the stock out of your shoulder weld. But, I did use spring powered .177 target guns in college. They were purpose built for target shooting and were quite accurate.

I have a Benjamin gun like you describe that is nearly 40 years old. Other than a little oil on the pump leathers, it has required no maintenance. The finish is highly worn, but it is still fairly accurate.

Now I use an airgun from a Swedish company called FX. It is a precharged pneumatic gun pressurized from a scuba tank. It is more accurate than any other gun that I own and it will deliver .22 cal pellets at 28 ft lb muzzle energy. My particular gun will make a single ragged hole when fired from my shoulder at a 10 meter target. With good shot placement that will even kill a wild dog or coyote. I have made shots on these at 50 yds with success. But, with most of the precharged pneumatic guns we are getting out of the realm of most first time buyers. A good PCP pellet gun will run as much as a high powered rifle and will be higher in quality.

The Benjamin is a good choice for a first time buyer. I think Benjamin has been acquired by Sheridan so the same gun my be labeled Sheridan today.
