rws 48?

[Mark 611]

 Vortek Products sell tuning kits for these rifles, so does JM, and yes scope it, I use a Leapers 3x9x40 aomd scope on mine with a UTG mount and low rings this is a very good combo on one of these rifles!

Here's mine. M48 TO1 in .177. I bought back in the late 90's from Gander Mountain (Cabelas). I sold it to my neighbor for $150 about a year ago but just recently purchased it back from him about a month and a half ago for $50. Good deal huh? He painted it some ugly desert tan color but I stripped and sanded it down and re-stained it myself. I'm averaging 903 fps with JSB Exact 8.44gr, 790 fps with JSB Exact Heavys 10.34gr, 722 fps with H&N Baracudas 10.65gr. The numbers seem low to me and I think it's time for a home tune with a Vortek kit.


Here's my neighbors ugly rattle can paint job after I bought it back from him.





Stripped and sanded it down to bare wood.





I re-stained it with one coat of Minwax Red Chestnut and four coats of Minwax Wipe-on Poly.

how does the t01 trigger compare to newer models?.....thank's

[ChickenSlayer671]

If I'm comparing it to my T06 M34 Classic, it's about the same after I made some adjustments to the T01 trigger. The only difference is the plastic trigger blade. My T01 M48's trigger is very predictable. I can call my shots once it goes off.

droop compensating mount??...also, could one put on peep style sights?

On most RWS rifles the barrels point a little downward. They do this for the open sites. Problem is when you put a scope on you can run out of adjustment as the receiver of the rifle is not level with the barrel. Special mounts are available to compensate this.

And yes you can use a peep site.

In the pic you can see the rear of my scope is higher then the front.
