New Benelli MRl Is Varmint-Hunting Ready

ALL ABOUT AIRGUNS
Dear Mr. Chapman, I would like
your help on a decision I am trying
to make. I own a Wiehrauch
HW55 rifle that is on the lower
end of the power spectrum. I'd
like to step up to a more powerful
fixed-barrel rifle for hunting
squirrels. It must be accurate for I
also enjoy shooting at bull's-eyes.
As Warren Page said, "The only
interesting rifle is an accurate
one." My experience with vari-
ous rifles is non-existent. This is
where I would like your advice.
Midway USA carries the Ruis
side cocking rifles. These, especially
the model 54, seem
interesting: single shot .22 or
.177; spring piston (can't Ix*
kept cocked for long periods
of time) no recoil (M 54). Are
they well-made and accurate?
Benjamin has an interesting
rifle in the Marauder. You seem
to Ix- holding one in Predator
Xtreme. What of this rifle:
suitability for hunting, target
(accuracy), construction (quality),
etc.? Are there any other
rifles I should check out?
Also, there is the controversy of
.22 vs. .177. Can one get as good
accuracy from a .22 as from a
.177 rifle? Would appreciate your
thoughts on this issue.
-Thank you, John in Pennsylvania
Response:
German manufacturer RWS model $4 is a very well-made side-lever spring-piston air rifle. It's powerful, accurate
and the gun's action is floated on integrated rails to reduce felt recoil. This reduces hold sensitivity
to some degree, and improves accuracy for most shooters.This is a big rifle and takes a moderate effort
