Offered up on Ebay...I think it is a bargain to say the least!
I love my Mendoza RM 600.... but don't need anaother
Beautiful wood, the double trigger is very nice.... mine is dead nuts accurate with the H&N Baracuda FT in 4.51 head size.
The wood they used has amazing detail and the cheek rise is perfect for me.

Save me from myself... At $120 I think it is a steal!

Dang you, eBay!!!

Dang you, eBay!!!
Agreed!
The fleur-de-lis in the engraving reeks of Air Arms on that beautiful Webley!!
-
Well I "tried" to purchase this to help you out but Ebay thinks airgun purchases aren't allowed for my state (they have no clue about Virginia law)!
-
Well then... maybe my low ball "Make offer" will stand.
;)

Did you bid at least $85.01? 🤣

Nope, it is yours! I put $75
For some reason it was on the "air Pistols" auction so it won't get much attention.
Congrats if it goes through... I think you will like it.
ALOT!
Here is Mine.
-
I would but I have one. But-----------.
Rocker1 has a Crosman/Mendoza Rm 557 on the GTA classified for $125. Same gun as on ebay except it has sights. The front sight on the Crosman 557's is different and no muzzle break. And it has the Mendoza peep sight. Kinda' like a Williams but bigger. It has a single blade trigger instead of the Mendoza dual trigger. I have a 600 and a 577 as well as a bunch of other Mendozas and their Crosman and Tech Force clones. They both look like nice guns. But Mendozas are an acquired taste.
One of you guys get'em or I will be tempted to buy both.
-
Somebody is fixin' mess this one up! :o And no it's not me either, the AirSabre was bad enough.
-
If I didn't already have one of these I'd jump on this. I love my rifle, great shooter.

Well, my $85 offer was declined which is probably good because I may need that money to bid on that Webley! 💩

Ok, so I'm completely unfamiliar with this rifle or any Mendoza for that matter.
What's so great about it? Double trigger? How hard is it to find sights for it?
Tell me why I should buy it.
Beautiful stock for sure, but what else should I know?
???

I got sights for it if you get it. Mendozas are okay. I like them. There is a lot of info on line and in the GTA search window.

Thanks Tim.
I'm not really in the market for another magnum as that's not really my style, but if the Mendoza is an especially nice shooter in that realm, I would consider it. Especially at that price.
Is it true that it's basically the same as a Gamo?
And again, what is with the double trigger?
I did do a run of Google searches, but in my limited time today couldn't come up with much.
:D
-
With a stock that pretty I'm suprised its jot sold. I'd buy it if I were in the market for a gun like that.
-
Scott I just went and checked out that link you showed on ebay and I was surprised to see they were made in Mexico 8)
-
Yep, in the 80's Mendoza even made guns for Crosman. I have a matching pair of Made for Crosman by Mendoza RM377s. I think their affair only lasted a couple years. Mendoza is a Mexican company.
-
Well, I made an offer and got a response with a counter offer. Not disclosing details, but it was not that much of a reduction.
Gotta be careful here as to not manipulate the sale or violate any rules.
I wish this were some rare Russian rifle!
I just bought an IZH MP513 last month, so why do I need this Mendoza?
(and yeah Avator, I know, because I don't have one).
:D
-
The 'Dozers are a unique breed.
I discovered it while vacationing in Mexico.
The "RM 6000 BZ" there was so accurate off hand I was smitten. I could call my shots and the pit boss (attached) was amazed.
(https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=170648.0;attach=306637;image)
When I came home I found an RM600 with RWS peeps.
They are an oddity as the barrel is refiled 2/3rds the way.
The newer Double trigger is a treat.
If I could find a source for the RM6000 in any rendition here... I would import them for sale in the states myself!

Dennis, they're not like Games. They're not like any other gun. They say 1000 fps but really they are more like 800-900fps. The dual trigger are set together one a little forward. The first is a safety. You pull thru it till you hit the second that fires the gun. No adjustment. Most are 2-2.5 lbs. pull.
I got a Crosman/Mendoza 577 and 377 like Bill. Mine don't have open sights. They also made two guns for Pyramyd Air and sold as Tech Force M12 and M8. I have an M12. Also got two of they're break barrel repeater, RM 2800 and RM2000 Repetition. I have the dual cal. RM2003. The different barrels slide into like a barrel shroud.

Thanks for the info Tim.
I just have a feeling that if I bought it, I'd shoot it few times, say, "Hey, neat" and it would end up being another $150 or so stored under my bed along with my CZ634, MP513, etc.
I think I'll pass on this one.
:D
-
Dennis, In all honesty, that description sums mine up perfectly.
It is not my normal everyday shooter... but an oddity I bring out on rare occasions.
That is very nice for a sub $150 gun. ;)
-
Thanks for the info Scott.
You guys are nudging me in my addiction.
I saw a car sticker today about fishing that said "It's only an addiction if you're trying to quit".
So I had made an offer on the gun, and they came back with a counter offer. I went back today with a counter-counter offer. I think we know where this is going......
Will keep you all informed.
Thanks (I think) for the enabling advice.
???
-
The shipping on it for me would be $54 so... it's a no for me.
-
Looks like the seller doesn't like to haggle, or got tired of the offers.
Changed to the $115.00 BIN and $40.00 shipping.
Then there's the sales tax............

Yes, apparently.
I tossed off an offer of $105 and then it expired. $39.50 shipping for me.
Last thing I need is another off-beat air rifle.
Still a curiosity, but I have way too many of those under my bed, and running out of room under there!
:D
-
He won't come off his shipping $$$$, either.
Dunno how come some folks can ship air rifles for $15.00 and others want $40.00....
I don't know anything about the Mendoza, but the Blue Book pricing is relatively high.
I seldom see stuff for sale down at the BB prices.

You can relax Scot. It be's gone.

I gotta quit visiting this Gate.........

A group effort. Some one hold the gun on me next time.
I'm going to send Ron sights for the 600.
I PMed Rocker1 yesterday about the577 and Ron already got it. I already have a 600 and a 577. He who hesitates--------
Maybe a Synergis to go with my Proxima!

I keep hitting up the new members in Mexico... hoping to get a line one sending some north.

I dont think we could or should build one because only beavers can be used to build one and that is worse than herding cats.

I saw that a few days ago. It appears not to have the .177 barrel. A lot of times you see a used dual cal for sale it's missing one of the barrels.

Don't sweat it Ron. You have the better rifle IMO. I wouldn't touch that ebay listing.
:D
-
IMO. I wouldn't touch that ebay listing.

What am I missing?
-
IIRC, the firswt one you bought has a much nicer looking stock.
I was simply comparing the newest ebay listing to the one you bought.
However, if you want two of them, go for it!

Okee dokee, Mr. Dennos.
Just curious....
At least this one has reasonable shipping.

So how is the RM600 shooting?

It'll flat fling a pellet.
Haven't chrony'd it yet...
I shoots better than my ability to do so.........
The price of the RM 2003 is climbing. I fear it may go beyond what I want to pay........
-
Perhaps that's because I'm bidding on it?
Just kidding, we don't do that here.
I still think you have the nicer looking rifle. As for the model differences I have no idea.
Good luck with your bidding.

Nah..it has become too expensive for me, unless I have a change of heart.
And there is sure to be the last second bid run-up if it follows the typical pattern.
-
You don't want the Rm2003 on eBay. It's a dual cal but it seems to be missing the .177 barrel. The barrels are impossible to get. I've got one with both barrels. Bought it a few years ago from MM at FD for $150. Mine is a Hammerli X2 (Mendoza RM2003). The big muzzle break on the front end of the barrel screws off and you slide the different barrels into like a shroud.
Did you also get the Crosman RM577 off the GTA classified? Hows it shooting?
-
Well, SOMEBODY wanted that 2003 very badly.........sold for over $200.00 w/shipping...
Anyway, I did indeed purchase the RM577 from Rocker1.
VERY nice gun. Shoots hard and accurate.......
They both are very nice pieces of weaponry.
And, thanks again for the RM600 sights....
There had also been a Mendoza 5.5 up for auction, but didn't fetch the same level of coil as the others....
It did not appeal to me anyway.
I think my Mendoza collection will stay as is for a while...

I agree, if you payed more than it's worth or than you wanted to you would be the loser.
Right now there are a bunch of losers "winning" on eBay.
