centershot...Looks like you and I have both had experience teach us what works and does not, I think I will put the R-9 on my list to get down the road. I prefer powerful airguns as I often shoot at 50 yards for target and do my share of hunting.

I have also been thinking of the RWS 350 magnum, when I was deciding between the 34 and the 350 I felt the 34 was more tame, easier for my uses, but a more powerful air gun could see use with me.
