I've had an RWS 34 for 20 odd years, and love it. I was recommending them on here until recently; I bought one for a buddy's kid's birthday, and the gun that arrived in the mail was not made by Diana/Dynamite Nobel, like mine, but by Umarex...a German toy company that got into the gun business, and is working hard at degrading the outstanding reputation of German manufacturing, IMHO. I've had two of their products, Walthers, and both were lemons. I'd try the Whisper.
