Gamo hornet customized or stock RWS 177

Not sure if this is the place to post,but I am new here. I bought a gamo hornet at outdoor world and Can not get it to shoot a group at 10 yards. I cleaned the barrel lock tited all screws, and have tried different pellets as been advised here. I have shot close to a 1000 rounds. i am not a great shot, but at 10 yards resting on a sandbag and barely getting agrouping the size of a softball with at least one of the five shots 10" out of the bulls eye, It cant be all me.
I am returning the Gun. Would a stock RWS 34 177 with a scope that comes with the gun be a good choice over a Gamo hornet with a new scope the upgrade piston and a new trigger? I want acurracy out to 30yards that could kill english sparrows. I have been biiten by the bug to shoot. The wife and kids thik I,m crazy.
Reading you guys post assures me I am not. Any suggestions or guns to look at, would be appreciated.
Thanks
Chuck

Compare the price, the Stock Rocket cost you how much? Call this X+Tune($100.00 w/parts)+Trigger($60.00 for trigger and installation)+ Shipping($40.00)=X+$200.00....
If the RWS 34 cost you less than X+$200.00, including shipping from Merchant than the RWS makes more sense, if not send me a DM and I can get things rolling for you....

Anything Gamo you will have to sink money into for it to be more shootable. Anything RWS is head and shoulders above Gamo. You could tune the RWS easier than the gamo and the trigger is going to be better.

D34 far and away the better gun ... especially if a newer To-6 trigger model.
Only if inclined
... add a tune kit and some trigger massaging the D34 transforms into one heck of a nice shooting light magnum !!

Thanks for the info
Are all RWS 34 the Diana model. I see 34P, a striker which I believe comes with the stock. A Magnum. How do you know if it has the TO6 trigger. Thanks for your help.
