Ruger AirHawk Elite II Air Rifle vs Crosman F4 NP Air Rifle
The Ruger Airhawk Elite II is the harder-hitting, heavier rifle, and the Crosman F4 is the lighter, easier-to-live-with one. The Ruger's gas piston and 1,200 FPS rating suit longer shots and hunting small game, but owners report it is hold-sensitive and heavier to carry. The Crosman F4 weighs about half as much, has an ambidextrous crossbolt safety and a detuned Nitro Piston that is gentler to cock and shoot at close range. Buy the Ruger for power and reach; buy the Crosman for plinking, backyard targets and younger or smaller shooters.
- Choose the Ruger Airhawk Elite II if you want maximum velocity, a full-power gas piston and a rifle that reaches out to longer distances.
- Choose the Crosman F4 if you want a light, easy-cocking rifle for close-range targets and plinking, with an ambidextrous safety.
