Page 3 - Ruger Blackhawk Reviews

great $100.00 gun.....very happy with purchase...but..

please put a piece of metal for the scope to fit correctly!!!!!!!!!!!!!! like any reasonably price gun it's a good one...open site work great!! but the dove tail grooves for the scope to fit are useless...the scope is good but sits in the box....

just the scope connection!! rifle kicks a little (which is good) very happy, will recommend.

The Blackhawk has a great feel and have a blast with 'er...

The scope took some time to zero, not sure about it entirely, but has been ok so far.

This gun is a super value, and really drills my targets! :)

I like the weight of the air gun and its handling ability.

I would definately change the sights. As they are, they are really pretty, but the rear sight is too flimsy and it CANNOT be adjusted high enough to hit a target even at 25 feet. At this distance it hits 4 inches low with the rear sight at its maximum height setting. Also with the scope mounted, it hits the bullseye at 25 feet, but the scope is adjusted to almost maximun height. Shooting at a distance of 40 yards and hitting a target would be impossible.

The heavy spring and piston, going forward when fired, causes the gun to torque over causing it to hit a little high and to the right. This I'm sure is inherent in all such airguns and can be conpensated for.
All airgunners and buyers of Pyramyd Air products should be made aware of a rediculus policy (of Pyramid Air) that only one gift certificate can be used per purchase. Gift certificates are the same as money and should be used as such for purchases. I recently encounted a problem trying to use three gift certificates given to me by family members, for my birthday, to buy the gun I bought. After much debate I did get my gun, but because of this policy, Pyramyd Air lost my future business.

Best Bang for my Buck!

The scope cut wrong for the scope added a Weaver Mount

This was a fun gun to upgrade. Re-stocked with Exotic Hardwoods with thumb hole and cheek piece. Bored out a Beeman ported Muzzel Brake for it. Not a toy anymore. Added a Laser for those fast shots at Rats from the hip on the rear mount (on Barrel). Laser does not block any view from scope mounted on front. Muzzel Brake turned this gun very acurate.

Look, finish, style and Power!

magazine of some sort lol

its big and requires some strength to cock.

Great price, great gun. Scope works well and dials in pretty easily. Consistent and accurate. Customer service was also great, received my order sooner than I expected!

Wouldn't change a thing, really happy with the Blackhawk.

Once I dialed the scope in I was hitting really accurately. This gun has great power and I am hitting consistently at 60 yards. Looking forward to testing it greater distances!

Sturdy and powerful, not a toy by any means. Put 15-20 rounds straight through quarter inch plywood at 50 yards easily. This rifle is well built and works great right out of the box. Sights real easy and remains consistently accurate. Looked at many different rifle makes and the Ruger was best - a lot of rifle for little dough.

For the price you get a very decent rifle, I wouldn't change anything.

Pyramyd Air was excellent to deal with! Pricing/value was best I found and they shipped it to me same day. Arrived sooner than I ever expected! Got a call from customer service for security (was shipping to my office instead of my home) which was really great and made me feel I was dealing with a good company. I'll be ordering much more from Pyramyd!

good quality , accurate , easy to use, good scope , not that loud , the price

nothing

this gun is a great gun its easy to use . its a little hard to cock till you get the hang of it .most pellets I've used work just fine with it. get this gun online cz its a way better deal . the same gun in stores costs about $230 bt on pyramyd air its only $110

Feels good, sights are good. Powerful. Scope if very rudimentary but it works. The price is right.

Weight. Be prepared she is heavy and I wouldn't recommend it for a young child. Pull is about 30 to 35 lbs.

Align the scope that comes with it and you will get a bullseye every time.

Accuracy was outstanding. Velocity was high, creating pretty flat trajectory for and air riffle.

See-through Scope mounts would be a great improvement. Dovetails for scope mounting were not deep enough to attach the scope without a lot of aggravation.

Everything! Price can't be beat (thanks to PyramydAir), sturdy, extremely well made, powerful and highly accurate. Doesn't seem to be too picky about what pellet you feed it, it just keeps performing well. For accuracy, can put pellets within a quarter all day at 30 yards, if I do my part. For power, shot a large, fat squirrel at 20 yards behind the left elbow and practically blew his right front leg off; big, messy hole.Best air rifle ever owned!!!

Nothing. It's a little heavy but that just lends to sturdiness, stability and recoil absorption.

Have owned an RWS 34 which was loaned out but never got back, a Crosman 577 by Mendoza (Piece of junk) and a Crosman 66 which has been just adequate. This rifle is obviously made by RWS but is heads above my previous RWS 34. IMHO, this is the best break barrel air rifle made and I'll shoot it against anything else in it's class. Don't know how Ruger does it for the price but I'm sure glad.

this gun shoots WAY better then my RWS.for about 100$ this thing is awsome. i've been shooting empty beer cans at 75 yards no problems.1000fps with RWS wadcutters will destroy stuff.

i would have made it in america and have a metal trigger. the scope sucks... iput a leapers 5th gen 3-9x40 mil dot...perfect match for this gun.

shoot good pellets through it and you'll love it ...RWS or better.not for kids this thing is a beast to cock.

Price! Combo...especially the scope, was of better quality then expected. Power and accuracy. After about 400 pellets, if I do my part...I can shoot consistent 5 shot 1" groups at 15 yds. Taking out a big fox squirrel that was raiding my apple tree, at about the same range, a SHP pellet entered the chest just forward of the front shoulder and stopped just under the skin on the opposite flank. Impressive!

As mentioned by others...the trigger. I wouldn't mind the plastic so much if it didn't have an annoying inconsistent creep...which at least in my case, is a detriment to accuracy.

If you're new to spring powered pellet guns like me, it takes a lot of technique practice to appreciate the Ruger's full potential. Also, at least in my rifle, pellet selection is equally important. Depending on brand name, FP, and HP's really shine. Haven't found a pointed configuration that shoots well.
In my case the Ruger is a good starter rifle. It's really peaked my interest in hunting small game with powerful airguns. I'm already thinking about another buy.... leaning toward a Crosman NPSS.

its great for hunting i shot a hole through a ply wood 1'' thick and it kept going half way through my garage wall !!!

th weight its about 12 pounds other than that nothing

its dead acurate for hunting i shot a can 50 ft, away the pellete was going so fast it didnt knock the can over the hole was the size of a penny !!!

Good feel and balance. Heafty.

Would rather have metal trigger, and I would replace sights with "quality" metal ones. I would offer a MUCH better quality scope. Typical outsoursed manufacturing...This would have been a MUCH better rifle if "everything" was done here in the USA....Sad for Ruger and the American buying public.

Scope is cheapie....poor quality.

Highly accurate,very well made for a lower end (priced) rifle. Carry's the Ruger name well. Love the Safety location. When a .22 is a little too much, this is the answer. Easily sighted in but bore sighting will save you some pellets, walking and arm muscle workout.

It is a little loud for "city limits" yard shooting, but that's easily fixed.

Add a suppressor and your good to go.

Very solid, well built. Shoots great groups right out of the box.

It's loud!

Great gun, great value. Poweful!

this gun is amazing, i can cover my holes with a quarter from 90 yards, i mean feet, sorry but either way it's impressive.

absolutely nothing, you would be crazy to touch this gun other than sighting it in (which takes forever!)
