I agree with the others. Stick with the German guns. The R9 is a dandy little rifle. I've killed quite a few pests with one.

The 34 is a good gun, but if you're talking 50 yard hunting, the RWS 350 has the edge. It's heavier, harder to cock, louder, etc, but it's a true magnum airgun and they're no free rides with spring powered airguns. I have one in 22 that's packs all the power I'd ever need in an airgun.
