   My name is Dan, and my girlfriend bought this pellet rifle for us to shoot with. Instead of the backstory, let’s just get to it. Pros: Build quality feels rugged Scope adjusted well within 8 shots The groups get tighter after a small number of shots. Less than 30 have been shot, and the accuracy has improved vastly. The scope included serves it’s purpose, even if not great. Looks very nice with the Ruger logos and black finish. The fiber optic open sights are surprisingly nice for such a lower budget rifle. Light and smooth trigger pull. Great value for the price. Cons: Heavy to carry, and has no mounts for a sling. Scope is not zoomed in far enough to shoot the smallest groups. The dovetail mount is a pain to mount the scope on. Not nearly as effective as a picatinny rail. Very loud. Could possibly get the neighbors to call the police if they are nosey. Heavier break than listed. No way is it only 30lbs. I can load it, but a small woman, or child would have a more difficult time. Edit: After a few weeks there has been changes. The groupings started to get a little wild, so I ended up changing scopes. I now have an Octane crossbow scope, and the zoom has helped a bit. I really considered attaching a picatinny mount for the other scope, but instead just swapped the rings from the original to fit the dovetail mount. At this point, I can regularly hit the bottom of a can from 60 feet, but some strays get away. I don’t believe I’ve had a “fair” test of this rifle’s accuracy yet, because the Winchester pellets I’ve bought are so inconsistent. Many of them fit into the breach very differently, and I can even see warps and dents in the pellets. Hopefully, I will add another edit when I get ahold of some higher quality pellets for reference.

   Update: 3-18 2017 I replaced the scope with something more user friendly, an old Daisy Powerline 3 x 9 x 32 Daisy Outdoor Products 3-9 x 32 PowerlineScope (Black, 3-9 x 32) that has served me well on several air rifles for many years. The parallax setting is more target friendly at 10 meters than the supplied Ruger scope, and then I did some more pellet testing. The results of the combination of a half decent scope and pellets that the rifle has fallen in love withDaisy 987418-446 Win 500 ct .177, Hollow Point Pellets are pretty good. I think I shot the smallest 5 shot group of my life with a break action springer. Just incredible. Last Pictures. Update:2-24-2017 I chronographed this rifle and it shoots Daisy hollow points at 960 FPS. Bengamin HP’s at about 935 with great accuracy. The Daisy HP’s and the Winchesters are probably the same product. They both work well. Very nice rifle at its price point. Will it last? Well get some thread locker and learn how to use it. All break barrel’s loosen screws. It is the nature of the beast. Maintain it and make it your own. Mine is a keeper. The fit and finish is outstanding. Update: I let it chose some pellets, (last photo) It seems to get along with the moderately priced Winchester hollow points rather well. These results are remarkable when you consider the horrible parallax in the scope is at 10 meters. This target was re-used, thus the random holes. I put tape over the centers and recycled it with the Ruger. The Blackhawk is a fitting name for this rifle, on the target it shoots nothing but black. Now I am going to have to spend as much on a scope as I did on the rifle to see what it can really do. Disclaimer: I was born in 1949, don’t see so good and am a bit wobbly at times. I am not a very good marksman but I try. 20-200 vision in one eye screws up depth perception, due to lack of vision I have to shoot left handed even though I am right handed. 1 Packaging, first rate, perfect undamaged condition. 2 Documentation, best I have ever received with an air rifle and scope. 3 Fit and finish. Absolutely perfect smooth metal and perfect bluing. 4 Iron sights, right on windage , very low vertical factory setting. Quickly adjusted. Right on in 10 shots. 5 Scope. Above average focus and sharpness for its price point. Typical horrible parallax at 10 meters. Better than SOME. Nice low mounts. This is one of the easiest air rifles I ever dialed in. I ran about a dozen cheap daisy pellets that almost fall out of the barrel to sight in the iron sights. I thoroughly cleaned the barrel before shooting it and only had 2 pellets that dieseled, it seemed to settle down after about a dozen shots. I switched to RWS wad cutters 8.2 gr to sight in the scope. My rifle has a very deep loading chamber, I use a #2 Phillips screwdriver bit to seat the pellets. I used only 11 pellets to get it roughly dialed in at 10 meters. I then shot 26 more pellets with what I consider great results, tweaking the scope every once in a while. As you can see the 3 and 4 shot groups show the rifle can do it if you do your part. I am pretty sure I can find some pellets that work even better, but my preliminary results are extremely good. The trigger was pretty good right out of the box, but then again I am used to some horrible ones. I will adjust it when I have the ‘time and will update this review when I learn more about this rifle. So far it is just plain good. Nothing to not like about it, except the scope, but even that is much better than can be expected at this price point. It is actually useable and will probably be pretty good at longer distances. I did not have my crono set up but I used my 28 gage sheet metal crono and it seems to be about 950 fps perhaps a little more based on the results as compared to my Hatsan Edge 177 and Benjamin Maximus 177 that I have crono’d @ 984 and 986 recently. This seems to be a sweet spot for accuracy with many “normal weight” pellets.

   The rifle gets 5 stars. Umarex shipping department gets 3 stars. I received my Ruger Super Blackhawk from Umarex this morning. This is the third one I have purchased over the past 10+ years. The first one was damaged, and the second one was stolen during a burglary a few days ago. I know it is hard today to find people to work, but this is only common sense. If you are going to ship a rifle to a customer in the original box, AT LEAST PUT A COUPLE OF PIECES OF TAPE ON IT TO KEEP IT CLOSED!! Really?!?! When I receive the rifle, the box was open. No tape to keep the box closed so the rifle does not fall out and get damaged or potentially lose parts. I get it, it’s only $130 but I have an expectation to receive a product I purchased online to be sealed closed when I receive it. Am I asking for too much? It remains to be seen if the rifle shoots straight. I have no way of knowing if it was damaged during shipping, if it is I will be returning it and purchasing one somewhere else.
