Pros & Cons
Pros
The daisy mfg 500ct has the best trigger i have ever used in an air rifle. The sound is about average not too loud not too soft at least i think so anyway. Gun is a little heavy and as loud as their 22lr at first but quiets down after 5-10 shots. Work... Read More
It's very accurate and powerful. But it also isn't over powering. The packing of it is another story.
The stock is very nice but could be slimmer. The rings that come with it are good quality and hold perfectly. Mine is crystal clear and though its only a 4x it serves its purpose. This is my third ruger the other two are nitro pistons, so i wanted to ... Read More
Cocking it is tough but it seems to snap closed very tightly. Cocking is 31 pounds but before long i became accustomed to the effort. It is a bit hard to * but i am getting use to it.
Cons
The air hawk is a re-branded umarex product. The stock is made of cheap wood and is large in bulky. Looks as if muzzle went right trough packaging.
I know the rifle was inexpensive to buy ($100 is $100 dollars) but what good is an inaccurate and very inconsistent rifle if you can cannot depend on it. Comes with a very cheap scope and flimsy plastic fibre-optic sights.
Gun isn't even fun to plink with. I figure if 1 outta 5 ain't happy then i probably won't be either.
Highlights
Quality
Gun is very well made and works great.
I’ve only had mine for about a week, but it feels very solid, shoots very well, and the scope ain’t to bad.
Do not put a normal rifle scope on this gun, the shock from the spring air will destroy it or at least knock it out of adjustment quickly.
I started off with cheap ones and the casting process left a lip on about half of the pellets which wildly affected their flight patterns.
Price
I bought this at the price of $120 and have loved everything about it for the past year or so.
Worth every penny of the budget friendly price.
It will definitely give you a charter membership to the "too much fun" club for a relatively small amount of $$$!
00 dollar one but i got the whole package for less than a scope.
Shipping
I just got a chance to shoot it and i am a very happy man thank you for the fast service.
The gun was flopping around while being shipped.
Packaging/appearance
The main reason i am writing this review is because of the horrible packaging i received.
The gun wasn't even inside the box it was under the original box.
There was no packaging in the box.
The packing of it is another story.
Competitiveness
The trigger on this gun is much better than my more expensive underlever air rifle and is aout as accurate, too.
The monte carlo stock and the bluing are as good as some big digit hardware.
I have other scoped air guns and actual firearms.
I would almost compare it to shooting a .
