I have owned an RWS 46, and couple 34's. While they are decent and a big step above any of the Chinese spring air rifles they are still not up to the level of the Beemans. Now I am talking about the R series Beemans here as they have some Chinese imports also. Stay away from those. The R7 and R9 are Classics and not by accident. They have been around for years and years and are built to last a lifetime. There are other fine spring air rifles but these are the ones that the others are judged by.
