Ruger Air Hawk Elite II....Anybody own one..??

I had an Air Hawke Elite and I had a MUCH different experience with it. It sheared multiple scope mount pins/setscrews and I could guarantee that it would not hit whatever the scope was centered on. I'm glad to hear that you're getting better results. They must have made significant changes to the 2nd generation models. I'd be curious to know if the scope stays put on yours.
Just looked at it... Yeah, it's gas piston now vs. the old style of spring piston. No wonder your getting better results. 
Happy Shooting!

AK I have tried several and am apparently SnakeBit when it comes to that rifle !!!! 
Tickled for you that you have such a nice shooter !!! Best I can tell from folks I've heard from its a coin toss as to whether you get a good one . 
If you get a chance try the JSB 10.3 pellets in it ...They showed the most promise in the last one I shot .Nice post man 

AK I'm gonna have to try the Elite 2 and see how she does . I've got a budget springer on the way I'm anxious to test . And thanks for the compliment about my videos ...Lol 
They aren't fancy , but I try and keep it real

Had many clones as Ruger,Crosman,Bam and Xisico. Joe knows my opinion. I can't say much for out of the box being good shooters? Most out of the box are super lubed up and I never took one apart that had a good piston seal in them. But you can see this issue with mane brand guns. 

I've worked everyone I have owned. After my guides,tophat, barrel crown work, seals and more all have made great shooters. They by no means have the build quality as the real name brands but for the money not bad. Great after some attention. 

Glad yours worked. The one I got today at Wally World is going back tomorrow. Numerous issues. Just a mess.

I just got one an had to change scope as well put a cebcen point 3-93×32 mm has green red illuminated recticle an it's best gun ever had don't know much about scopes but it's nicer than what came with it I going to look in to the riserrings so can use iron sites an learn more about scopes but so far I am enjoying it

I just bought a new one for my son and it fired perfectly the first six times. Now it is firing but with a little pfft of air. Just enough for the pellet to shoot out end and maybe goes ten feet. Anyone have ideas?

I just bought one a couple of months ago. Its turning out to be a nice rifle. I haven't christened it with its first kill yet, but I'm sure I will now that I have it sighted in. At first it wouldn't shoot well at ALL. But as I have learned from previous experience with several break barrel rifles, they take time to become broken in and you also have to find the right hold and trigger pull for that specific rifle. My most accurate and favorite rifle is my Gamo Swarm Maxxim .22 with Crosman Premier Hollow Points. It is devastating on fuzzy tailed wire strippers out to 25 yards with headshot after headshot dropping them. But back to the Ruger Air Hawk Elite 2. I hope to find some way to adjust or modify the trigger to tighten up the groups. 

Macon does the rifle still take the same amount of cocking effort as it did in those first six shots.? If not my guess is the ram has failed. If its not the ram then it could be the piston seal or breach seal to a lesser extent. I would return it from where you purchased it.
