I'm going to shoot this one a while and give it a chance. I'm sure I will polish and adjust the trigger and eventually order a JM tune kit and seal. I'm going to see what it does "out of the box" for at least a few weeks. Hopefully the Hawke Scope will be decent (salesperson at Pyramyd talked me into it) Last edited by eagle24 on Thu Apr 08, 2010 10:22 am; edited 1 time in total   Posted: Thu Apr 08, 2010 10:17 am fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2443 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia Sounds good, I hope the scope is AO. You will have problems if it's not. Did you make sure to get weaver/picatinny rings, IIRC the Leapers base uses them, opposed to 11mm dovetail. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

I edited the first OP. The rings are Leapers "space age" Low rings (again talked into by salesperson). They have 4 screws on the ring. They look fine in the pics. If they give me any problems I won't be out too much on them. Basically it is the RWS 34 Striker Combo with the scope upgraded to the Hawke.   Posted: Mon Apr 12, 2010 3:29 pm eagle24 Member Joined: 05 Apr 2010 Posts: 23 Location: Alabama RWS 34 arrived today. I just finished mounting the scope and will try it out this afternoon. I was pleasantly surprised with the apparent quality and look of the rifle. It's better than I expected and doesn't look like a toy. I can't wait to see what it will do and see how the trigger feels.   Posted: Mon Apr 12, 2010 5:24 pm Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA Have fun with it and keep us posted. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Mon Apr 12, 2010 8:05 pm J5311 Member Joined: 30 Aug 2009 Posts: 35 Location: NJ i wanna know how the scope is. I am going to get the same exact setup, but with a leapers 3-9x40AO scope....... wondering if the hawke is really worth the extra $$   Posted: Mon Apr 12, 2010 9:40 pm eagle24 Member Joined: 05 Apr 2010 Posts: 23 Location: Alabama J5311 wrote: i wanna know how the scope is. I am going to get the same exact setup, but with a leapers 3-9x40AO scope....... wondering if the hawke is really worth the extra $$ I don't know. I'm impressed with the clarity of the Hawke scope. It seems well made and I think I will like it. The only thing I don't like is that it does not have a cap on the top (elevation) turret. I would rather get it sighted in, put a cap on and be done with it. Now, every time I go shoot, I will wonder if my brother, dad, nephews, etc..... gave it a twist just for laughs. BTW, it is a $98 upgrade. Get the RWS-34 Striker Combo (pyramidair) and see how it does. For the price of the scope, I don't think you can go too wrong. You can always upgrade. If you haven't seen this rifle in person, I think you will be very impressed.   Posted: Tue Apr 13, 2010 6:12 am packrat Senior Member Joined: 16 Nov 2009 Posts: 882 Location: Out in the woods...Ellabell, GA.
