The model 48 i am selling has only 53 shots but those 53 shots were smooth as heck.I could not imagine the model 48 being a scope buster.

My fathers is the same gun as mine and its equally smooth

quote Harryparatestis:

I have an RWS 48 and I love it, I just wish it was in .22 and not .177, I have owned it for so long (20+ yrs) I would have a hard time selling mine. had it tuned earlier this year by John in PA and had the stock refinished by a a buddy of mine who is refinishes high end furniture. to Top it off I put a New Bushnell Legend on it. I mostly just stare at it, there is something about just cranking the handle and shooting, without the worry of an air supply. 🙂

Unfortunately my TSS is my go to gun, the 48 will be one that probably gets handed down.

So the Legend has survived your 48?How many shots (estimate) since you installed the scope?I’m too scared to put any of my scopes on mine for destroying them! 😆
Thanks Walter

Wouldn’t mind making room in the safe.

I would have to chrony it, haven’t shot it in 10 years at least 😳 😳
