5.0 out of 5 stars Great Rifle, Great Price, June 14, 2009

This is a great air rifle, very solid and powerful. Great price from Sportsman's Guide. I shot great groups right out of the box. I haven't put the scope on yet, and I might not. It shoots fine with the open sights. The trigger pull is fine the way it came, but can be adjusted. I placed a paper target 20 yards away, the target was attached to a 1" thick oak board. The pellets penetrated very deep into the board. I'm sure I won't have any problem getting rid of some squirrels with this gun. It is definately not a toy! As an avid shooter of many types of firearms, I would highly recommend this product. After all, if Ruger puts their name on it, it has to be good!

This review is from: Ruger® Blackhawk® .177 cal. Air Rifle with 4x32 mm Scope (Misc.)

As someone mentioned, first a couple of shots were pretty loud. Afterward, it became "normal". Shoots pretty accurate when shot from 25 yards within 1" group. The scope can be better, but at least it is metal and decent enough, and quite calibratable. I did buy a better scope however. I put the target about 25 yards away on 2 layer of 1/2 plywood just in case, and the flat headed pallet did brake the surface to bury itself, but was not powerful enough to penetrate. Maybe better result with the pointed hollow point ammo, but haven't tried yet. I have no doubt killing a small vermint or squarrel is an issue with this rifle.

It looks and feels as the real thing. With the decent weight of the rifle, feels real enough especially with the slight recoil during shooting.

Like to emphasize that this is NOT a toy for small children. With a right ammo, it can hurt someone or something.

Wow. Just wow.
This is a good air rifle. It feels like a real rifle and shoots like a real rifle.
I have no experience with any other modern air rifle, so I can only compare it with old models. Back in the early 70s I used to be a suburban hunter with a Crossman 760 and later a Sheridan blue streak, and killed probably thousands of small game animals over the years. This rifle is much better than either of these. It's more accurate, more powerful and has a higher rate of fire. It's a killer.
