Well, I guess I got what I paid for!
Quote from: temchik on July 02, 2015, 09:06:28 PMWell, I guess I got what I paid for! By your first post I'd say you paid for $44.50 of junk, plus shipping. $5.49 more and I got a good one! LOL
Thought I'd hop into this fracus.Org. OP says right off the price for said Air Hawk, funny, I looked at for a few days before I placed my order for one on June 30 2015, price was $49.99, just as it was a few days before. Where did that price of $44.50 come from???Mine arrived in as new condition other than a simpler copy of the manual and no warranty card, and a plain cardboard box.Mine shoots very accurately, at least for the first 30 shots so far, can cover my groups with a dime.Am I going to tear it apart? Not hardly, I've bought many new cars in my driving time. Never tore one down after I got it in my driveway yet.Seems to me someone has an issue with Midway or refurbished items in general.Oh Ya, there was no rust, just an in general fantastic value for $49.99, not $44.50.Oh, I forgot, first shot I made was into a phone boot, pellet penetrated 560+ pages, I'd say not to bad.I've only been shooting pellet guns since the age of 6 or 7, that was 66 years ago.
I sure don'tvthink I have a delema at all. For the grand sum of $49.99, I received alike new, clean Ruger Air Hawk. It shoots accurate, dime sized groups and only have 50 shots thru it, it's starting to settle down very nice already. Little more to ask for, sure am not going to fuss over the $5.00 extra mine cost, I've got no problems and it sure isn't going to change my eating habits.
Who cares what the gun looks like as long as it shoots. All of my guns get a little rust from time to time. I one time, in front of a friend, pulled out my rusty AK, sanded the rust off, and then sprayed painted it. I think it traumatized my friend that I did this. People get so funny about guns, its just a tool, and it just needs to shoot...
I've bought pellet rifles at pawn shops and the barrel and/or receiver is rusty and pitted. I'll clean that as much as possible then tape the threaded or pin holes and sights and spray them with p/u bed liner.Looks ok.
My collection numbers into the hundreds of arms. None of them have any rust on them since I have purchased them.That encludes an original Sharps Rifle, Calvary Model from the 1860's.Oh they are more than tools, much more!Normal people do not collect scratch awls, or basic 9/16 wrenches.

Oh so True, but let us remember the OP is about a factory refurbished rifle, should not only expect better, but should definitely recieve better. End Of Story.
