Ruger Air Magnum .22
Got this thing UPS today. Only shot it a few times and I have to say I am impressed with accuracy. It does cock hard but boy howdy it shoots pretty hard for a .22 Pellet gun. It is noisy also.. no use to ever buy one of these and try shooting it in the city. Cracks like a .22 rifle with standard velocity. Very satisfied shoots lead pellets at 1000 fps . It is heavy even with a synthetic stock. Weighs 9.5 pounds

Just zeroed the scope and it shoots sweet. Will keep a group in a dime at 25yd. Was shooting cans at 50 yd.

Appears you got lucky with yours being A-ok.
Lots of negative reviews scattered around about some of them NEW ones right out of the box as having all kinds of issues!!!!!!!!!!!

Alot of reviews are just hateful toward a certain firearm. I read one that the barrel was bent. These have such heavy barrels I highly doubt anyone could muscle and bend one. Unless it was ran over with the UPS truck. Mine was nicely packed in the original Ruger box inside a heavy box.

I'd NEVER buy another 'break barrel' pellet rifle. I spent way more than I should have on a name brand only to find that shots scattered severely dependent on how the barrel was closed after reloading[1"+ groups(?) at 30']. Lately only used to plunk stray cats at 10' or less.

RWS makes some of the best ones out there. This is a clone of one of them and shoots remarkably tight groups. It is hard to cock with 42# .

I was going ask who makes it so I looked it up. Umarex makes it. I know nothing about them but then I don't study up on such things.

Here is some info off of Wiki .
Umarex USA
The North American subsidiary of Umarex, Umarex USA, was created in 2006 after acquiring the American marketers of the RWS brand (formerly part of Dynamit Nobel), which they continue to market. Umarex USA markets Umarex airguns in addition to many other airguns under license from various firearm brands that include Beretta, Browning, Colt, Hammerli, HK, Makarov, Ruger, Smith & Wesson, UZI, Walther and Glock.[4] Umarex USA entered the tactical rimfire market in 2009 with the importation of Walther-made Colt M4 and M16 .22 LR guns. The company has in-house brands including entry and mid-level airsoft guns in their Tactical Force and Combat Zone brands, while reserving their Elite Force brand for premium airsoft guns. The Legends line is based on historical guns in a BB or pellet airgun format. In late 2010, the company began offering a Turkish-made M1911A1 chambered in .45 ACP under the Regent brand.[1]

I have so many pellet rifles on the wall of my office/junk room/hiding place that my daughter in law came in one day and said it looks like a 10 year old boys room.
