INCLUDES RWS 4X32 SCOPE & Mounts!
When RWS first introduced the Model 48, we expected it to become a classic. What was unexpected was its rapid rise to classic status among knowledgeable air gunners. At 1110fps in .177 (750 mps), (.22 up to 900 fps). This tremendous power is generated by the use of a very robust spring piston power plant cocked by a side lever action. The action is mounted into an extended beech stock to reduce felt recoil and to aid in achieving accuracy potential. Not designed for the faint hearted, this is one impressive air arm, both in performance and presence. It fulfills its purpose as a potent, full-size sporting airgun suitable for either pest control or field target shooting, yet it does so with both balance and grace. The substantial one-piece stock allows for comfortable offhand shooting and adds to the overall sensation that the Model 48 is a force to be reckoned with. The rifle is fitted with a finely rifled, fixed barrel system loaded via sliding breech opening. Its full accuracy potential can be realized by the use of a quality RWS airgun scope mounted to the scope rail. Other standard features include an adjustable trigger, an adjustable rear sight, and an automatic safety. Lifetime warranty.

My First "Adult" Airgun
January 5, 2013
Very sophisticated air rifle. I could not believe the power. As I was sighting it in, I found at 30 yards, the .22 cal 13.4 grain JSB domed pellet penetrated my 1/2" pine target backer, and then penetrated deeply into a cypress fence! And I wondered if this gun would be able to humanely kill squirrels! Also, very high quality, and superb workmanship. I only have one beef. It is a heavy gun. Really, too heavy to carry far into the field.
Pros:Excellent workmanship. Extremely powerful, this is no toy!! Very accurate.Cons:Only one thing...too heavy. |

My first air rifle, and I am proud of it.
November 6, 2012
Long story short, my hunter friend took me target shooting and told me that I'll be wasting my ammo trying to shoot over 102yds. I tried to shoot the 186yds target and hit it. He was surprised. He was impressed with the scope also, which the rifle comes with through airgun depot package. I have yet to experience all that this gun could do, but I am very happy with it in the field. I hope to be skillful enough to hunt with it in the future. Good gun.
Pros:Good quality, good feel, and shoots far into the target.Cons:I don't have much experience with air rifles, but I think the lever mechanism should be more robust. |

One serious Air Gun
February 2, 2012
My first air pellet gun lasted for 45 years. Squirrels were having a good laugh, watching the pellets miss them. Time for a new pellet gun. Selected with the help from Airgun Depot support. We selected the RWS Model 48 22cal with scope. Once the scope was installed and sighted in. Gun was very accurate. Easy to pump. RWS quality is excellent. This is one serious Pellet gun.
Pros:Quality AccuracyCons:At this time, none |

RWS Model 48 with telescopic sight
January 5, 2011
The air rifle is as advertised, and is a quality product. With the rifle's iron sights it shoots well and is accurate.
The supplied scope is, as best I can tell, a good quality product.
There is one fault with the scope - its mounting system places it very high above the stock. I have not been able to rest my cheek on the stock while sighting through the scope - cannot achieve 'cheek weld', and therefore cannot accurately sight the target.
I will have to construct a pad to raise the comb of the stock high enough to rest cheek on it. That should allow accurate sighting.

RWS Model 48 Air Rifle
June 16, 2010
I am very happy with this rifle. Very accurate. I especially like the side cocking lever, rather than cocking with the barrel. I did find, however, that the scope that came with the rifle did not stay zeroed in, so I replaced it, after which the rifle stays zeroed in.

rws 48 .22 cal x = awesome
June 12, 2009
THIS GUN IS AWESOME. I'VE SHOT RABBITS FROM 60 YDS AWAY AND SMOKED THEM AND I KNOW IT SHOOTS FURTHER THAN THAT ACCURATELY. 20 yds/ mosr all going through the same hole
40 yds/ most withen 3/4" of the bulls eye
60 yds/ most withen 1 1/2'' of bulls eye
(havent shot futher than 60 and if i were a better shot the groups would be even better)
THE SCOPE IT COMES WITH IS ALSO GREAT!

Great rifle
August 10, 2007
Just got it and its a well made rifle that looks great and fires straight. Scope needs to be upgraded or purchase the rifle without a scope. Only shot a small bird at 20 yards, blew it up with the 22 cal. Service at airgun depot is excellent.

RWS 48 .22 cal/scope combo
July 22, 2007
Great quality rifle accurate and solid. The Scope seems OK however the "C" mount rings are sub standard in my opinion . Rings are designed to be able to adjust windage instead of the scope "too many moving parts to come loose". One of the windage screws on the rear ring stripped and now the scope is loose and accuracy is gone. We will see how the warranty works out.

RWS Mod 48 Good Gun!!
June 13, 2007
this is an adult gun. it has some heft to it but it will shoot. straight and hard. it likes some pellets a bit better than others but it groups nice with most quality pellets. if you have ground squirels, prairie dogs or starlings they don't stand a chance.

Great Gun!
May 19, 2007
I got this gun for my b-day, and unlike many other guns I have purchased, this one isn't getting sent back! My gun likes the .22 crosman points, but varmints don't! Check out straightshooters for chrono results with different types of pellets. Besides being powerful this gun is accurate, which many experienced airgun hunters know is the key to humanley taking down game.With it I can manage to put five pellets into a 1/2" group at thirty yards. I reccomend a mil-dot scope such as the leapers line, but make sure it is springer rated. This gun also shoots like a dream, no spring vibration, just a healthy clunk when you shoot it.
I dropped a ground squirrel at 82 yards with a clean neck shot. Even at this range the hard pellet penetrated clear through the squirrels neck and hit the ground behind it. Many people fall for the 1100fps gimmick with this gun in .177 but that is with the lightest pellets, and besides .177 pellets going that fast cannot stabalize in flight resulting in terrible groups.
