I got my RWS 34 back from John In PA and although it was bought in 2007, I probably only shot a couple tins of pellets through it. Even though I wasn't having any issues with it I wanted John to go through it and replace the spring with a Vortek spring and check everything out.
His chrony string shot an average of 835.2 using H&N 8.64 pellets. I shot it over my chrony using a lighter JSB 7.33 pellets and they were flying an average of 875.3.
BUT....I never realized how much the 34 beat the heck out of me until I shot the FWB 300. A gentleman's springer for sure.
I wish I never sent the 34 out, even though the RWS 34 is a sweet looking springer with the carved stock and looks like new I could have put the money into another 300.
Yup, I'm spoiled for life, but in a good way.
