When RWS first introduced the Model 48, they expected it to become a classic. What they did not expect was its immediate elevation to classic status. The Model 48 gives new meaning to "magnum". At 1000+ fps in .177 caliber (over 700 mph) it packs a real wallop. The Model 48 is a favorite for keeping critters under control and is an example of what can happen by perfectly blending performance and accuracy.
The 48 is a substantial airgun that is not for the faint of heart. The gun will surprise you with it's weight and balance. The addition of a scope lets you realize the model 48's full potential. You can reach out to longer ranges whether for field target, pest control or informal shooting. It's design combines excellent accuracy and magnum power. RWS includes their lifetime warranty with this model.
Special Note: Starting in 2007, as we receive RWS rifles, they will feature the new RWS boxes in multiple colors and nice gun pictures on the outside. In other words, RWS now ships their rifles with new, more attractive boxes. Once our existing stock is sold, all the new rifles will be shipped to us in these new, colorful boxes. If you would prefer us to ship your gun in the new RWS box rather than the free hardcase, let us know when you order. You can do that verbally on phone orders or by typing your request in the NOTE section when ordering on-line.
