RWS 350 Magnum .22 Feelin’ Like A Total Bummer.

[Browning Fan]

A few years ago, I bought this puppy.
Bought it with RWS scope, mount and RWS cleaning supplies. I paid almost $500. I bought it through Cabelas. It came, I was crazy busy so it’s been unopened in a closet. I broke it out tonight.
Stock is cheep birch that you would find on a base model cheep .22.
Found main stock screw at trigger guard not even tightened.
Mount their scope with their mount. I have to raise cheek so high off cheek swell that it barely touches it.
Way Way bummed out.

Sorry you're not happy with your purchase.

Other than removing irons and installing lower mounts, you could try something like this:

I've used this on my Ruger American Ranch to get proper cheek weld. No issues.

You are right. It says they are out of stock. I will click on the “ Email When Back In Stock” button.
Thanks

Thanks for link. Kind of confusion, color option change when changing models. I wonder how it will contour around left side of stock and over existing cheek piece. Wonder if it will leave some weird hollow gap between bottom of cheek piece and bottom of stock.

What about trying lower scope mount?

This^^^

There seems to be little reason for that screwy scope mount.

Hi fellas,
So from research before I bought it all, I learned that the RWS 350 magnum is one brutal pellet gun and it recoils in both directions. This will make a scope move and even damage the reticles if not made for it. The mount must be beefy and super strong. I then elect to get the RWS scope and mount. They are both made for that rifle. Mount has location studs that go into receiver to keep it from shifting.

While the RWS mount does a great job at preventing scope movement, as you found out, it is at the expense of scope height. Either the comb pad, or they do make lower rings that also have scope stop pins built in also.
I hate how manufacturers use the magnum label to draw people into purchases. There are many other springers out there, shooting at lower velocities, that would have suited you better. 12ftlbs will kill most all small game and not kill your scope with a much more pleasant shot cycle.

Growler, I found one in walnut brown at Cabelas. Lots of fighting. I went with the 2cd thickest. It gets my face to wear it needs to be. I need to count some length off of pad. I am going to let it sit overnight to let take shape a bit. I’ll then trim pad and better position that pad.
Thanks again for recommendation.

Glad it worked out for you. Sorry I forgot to mention that they can be kind of a pain to install because they fit pretty dang tight, but at least mine hasn't moved around since I installed it.

Welp, I am done with this solution. After 2 hours of being on the gun, this started by itself sitting.
Arghhh!!!
