As a non UK resident I've been looking at this in full power. This is by far the best review of this rifle I have seen so far.

@plektosgaming Год назад

At full power, it and the HW 80/90 are the big boys of spring-piston hunting. The only thing is, in my experience, you are better off using a red dot or the open sights as all of them are notoriously tough on scopes at full power. Or just realize that you'll need a scope and mounts that's almost as much as the rifle. 12-13ft-lbs at 50 yards is doable with these and the right (often heavy) pellet. Oddly enough, the sweet spot is .22 despite .25 cal being offered in some models. Spring-pistons simply lack the energy to really deal with larger calibers. So .22 is the best choice for hunting.

@SpringGunner13 Год назад

Diana makes a zero recoil scope mount/ "bullseye " Even at full power with any Diane rifle, you won't "pop"/bust a scope.

@BoggWeasel Год назад

@@plektosgaming BSA make some good "springer friendly" scopes able to handle the recoil of a springer much better than regular scopes. Regular scopes can't handle the forward and rear recoil of a springer which on the heavier powered springers can be quite violent and will wreck a regular scope in a short space of time. They are available here un the USA, I use mine with a Diana 34, well happy with it.

My Airco 😁 is 25/ 30 Joule and shoots around 300 mps (up to 360 mps with flight penetrators) (The Netherlands)

@Yorkshiremadmick Год назад

At 66 I was an arms dealer at skool. Buying old Diana’s BSA’s etc. Taking em home cleaning em, bluing the barrels, up rating springs and washers. Sanding, polishing the stocks. And selling for a profit. We used to take em into skool and I even had teachers wanting rifles. Looks a lovely tool

@alanmeyers3957 10 месяцев назад

I’m 50, when I was in skool, you could still do that depending on the day, it was starting to change by then.

@fieldsportcymru4636 Год назад

Ive been shooting one of these rifles a fair while now and found it a heavy but silly accurate rifle easily as good as most good quality pcp rifles and really well made .

@briansummers5389 Год назад

Have you had any problems

@1959Berre 6 часов назад

In Belgium we are blessed since we have no power restrictions on airguns. This gun is a wonderful peace of kit. At full power it easily drops a well fed rabbit without the need of an air tank or the fuss of a compressor. The quality and the level of the finish is superb. And the design looks so good. I am not a big fan of laminated stocks in funny colors, as they tend to get boring very quickly. I prefer the look and feel of a classic chunk of walnut. It never gets out of fashion.

@justiceforall8574 Год назад

What a fantastic bit of kit,So accurate & very well made.Amazing...

@danravenna2974 Год назад

Great review AAR! I have a model 48 from years past, also made in Germany. Being across the pond, and in .22 caliber, it has been useful in both target work and a bit of pest control. It is loud, and being a different model, the recoil is there. But given that I shoot centerfire rifles for pleasure, the recoil is quite manageable. Thanks again!

@ur2insecure Год назад

Great review. I have been following your channel since the early days and it's great to see an airgun reviewer who doesn't keep pushing FX airguns.

@joedokes8641 Год назад

AMEN..........

@hunter100t Год назад

Yes I remember Air Arms did something similar and was used in the FT scene, but the weight of most Diana's was always a problem as fine a rifle as they are people went for the HW's and the Air Arms. I chose the 77 as an avid HW fan but there were a few Diana's about and performing well, you have to remember that a lot of people used their hunting rifles for FT and the Diana's were 1, 1/2 pounds heavier than the 77's. Good stuff Andy and keep on giving us quality subject matter, oh and nice shooting by the way.

@BikerForLife01 Год назад

Good morning. I'm just glad to see that my Friday morning has been restored to some normality with a decent coffee and a great AAR review.

@williamlong2660 Год назад

Andy, thanks for yet again reviewing a rifle that is seldom seen on UK channels, mores the pity. Side lever springer actions are rarely featured and that re coil reducing platform whilst not a new development combined with the overall weight clearly helps accuracy no end. Whilst l still have a mid eighties AirArms Bora springer side lever temptation may well get the better of me with this one. As ever a great presentation, many thanks.

@kantenklaus9753 10 месяцев назад

My gosh, I love the channel, everything is professionally designed.

@wallrunn3r Год назад

Great review as ever Andy! Side levers were always fun bits of kit. Looks like the new Diana 54 is a serious contender for my next springer! Cheers!

@heithwatkins Год назад

Wow. Amazing accuracy. Beautiful rifle ❤

@nickwebb9290 Год назад

An interesting Springer to review and for anyone buying one of these will no doubt be confident of the quality as it’s made in Germany. I won’t go into a critique as the issues I have are already mentioned in the many comments. Suffice to say, personally I’ll happily hang on to my BSA Lightning XL. A great review Andy and always look forward to your Friday morning posts, never knowing what surprise you’ll hit us with 😁 Many thanks especially considering you’ll have been busy away at the show.

Nice rifle Andy and great review. That stock is a looker for sure!

@Marcus_Shaw Год назад

Very nice rifle, nice review, thanks Andy. If it's anything like my TX I find loading a lot easier placing it butt down on my seat so the loading port is verticle. Then it's easier to balance the pellet against the thumb and use the side of the loading port is a guide while shoving the pellet in. 👍

@williamwilson2624 Год назад

Great review as usual Andy.

@henkwijnsemaskanaal 3 месяца назад

@johnvanberrgem286 Год назад

I have a Diana 48 with a Vortek PG4 Steel HO kit in it. Aprox.30 joules. I can only shoot 10 grains or more. But the kit eliminated the spring buzz and somehow the recoil seems less. The gun fires smoother. I smply love it. Very acurate eve without the recoilless system of the 54.

@kobrien1352 Год назад

I love springers but also have a PCP for added accuracy. But this gun is like a dream come true! Pricey perhaps, but not compared to the best HW under levers, and you’re getting incredible accuracy, German engineering, and a laminated stock. Heavy, yes, but I’m a bench rest shooter. Don’t hunt so won’t be lugging it around woods. My quarry are paper targets. Can’t wait to get one and think my PCP is going on sale with the air bottle!

@MrEtonmess 10 месяцев назад

How is this guy not over 1m subs +++. Excellent presentation. Thanks for consistently creating such good videos.

@rondolinar Год назад

I've got a Chinese made model almost exact to yours. Bought it through a catalog back in the late 90s. My side lever has a slide extension, button released, that adds about 4 inches to the lever to give extra ease in cocking. Safety is automatic at the rear like yours. Mine is .177 and I think gets about 1000 fps. I put a scope on mine but am often preferential to open sights. Makes a great target gun or pest sniper.

@PiperX1X Год назад

My first very first airgun was a side lever that my parents bought for my birthday, a Webley tracker in 22 and I still have it over forty years later, and I’ve really looked after it and it still shoots as good as it ever did. And would I sell it? not in a month of Sundays as it holds so many memories.

@KathrynLiz1 Год назад

A friend of mine has one of these rifles (the full power version for New Zealand) and it too is a tack driver.... One hole groups with almost any pellets is the norm.....

@SedEdwards Год назад

Thanks for a great review, being a springer man this is right up my street. And yes springers do push your skill level and cooking and putting a single pellet in is like a ritual. 😎✌️

@The-Shooter Год назад

Ha Ha.. Same tech as my 30 year old Diana 48. Nice to see old things can be used today.

@alexeysaphonov232 Год назад

Also talking of this self-artilleryhold system in Germany we like to remember FWB 300 S as a first example of similar mechanics (another major step Walther LGR, first single stroke)

@derekp2674 Год назад

Yes this new rifle is very much modern Diana's tribute to Feinwerkbau. For 10m air rifle shooting I preferred the single stroke Walther to to the Feinwerkbau but the latter was much easier to use if shooting prone. As an 10m air pistol shooter I bought (and still have) a single stroke Feinwekbau 100 but I sometimes wonder if I should have bought a FAS 604 instead.

@TophatOrange 4 месяца назад

Even goes a bit back more with the FWB 150 and 300

@darrenmorgan9164 Год назад

Nice review Andy.

@alexeysaphonov232 Год назад

Also for Andy. There is a very German thing, sure there are some sort of shooting galleries,... so "Schießbude". Historically there were many famous models from Anschütz, Hänel und Diana. So one from Diana is model 30, around a decade ago Diana designed a cheap comemorative model Oktoberfestgewehr and this year model 30 neo (quiet expensive but very remarcable rifle).

@richardwhiteside7929 Год назад

Nice Review Andy, Good Morning.

@5Komma5 Год назад

Glad to see them starting to focus back towards their roots and making more rifles in Germany. Way too many rebranded China "specials" on the market nowadays. Still have my very first air rifle. A Diana Mod24D also made in Germany.

@peteralexben Год назад

the china line is not the same as snowpeak spa , gsg did some approvements

@plektosgaming Год назад

The quality control of the "made in somewhere overseas" (many now say Asia, but that's no fooling anyone as that covers 48 nations!) It's clear as day if you know what to look for what the difference between proper engineering and quality control and "good enough for export".

@chopperhehehe Год назад

That's the best score card you have ever gotten I think You should keep that rifle Cracking show as always 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦕🦄😁✌️🤞

@krisdabrowski7482 Год назад

Great review Andy. I saw Gary Chillingworth review and shoot this too and OMG accuracy was amazing. I shoot both springers and PCP’s, both enjoyably, but this seems quite interesting. The feel of a springer with the ‘kick back’ of a PCP (well not quite, bit I think you know what I mean). Would be interesting to know how long before one would tire from that side lever action. Seems quite some effort. Very interesting rifle and I’d certainly consider buying one due to it being different to others. Maybe Air Arms or BSA should look at that sled motion and design something similar to add to their already impressive arsenals. Once again thank you for your time and effort to keep us informed. 👍

@James-vg8bn Год назад

There was a tx200 sr that had a sledge on it. Not very common as maybe too heavy for hunting and in Field Target they are in a different class than springers

@anything_anywhere Год назад

this is the rifle that I want to buy a few years ago because of the high power, but eventually I buy hw-97k,but it is still tempted I still remember that Diana luftgewerh is very popular in Indonesia beside bsa cadet major, bsa meteor, bsa under lever. My father have about 4 unit diana 50 and 1 bsa club c seri but all sold.

@MrAshtute Год назад

You can't argue with that grouping.....i wish it were not side lever especially being a lefty but you can't argue with that and it looks good too 👍

@altoncrane9714 6 месяцев назад

I have had a full power .22 Airking for years. Heavy but so accurate. The recoil system is mainly for accuracy and not for comfort. Also as the action moves freely, it can and will destroy scopes. The easy and full cure is a recoil mount, either the Diana ZR mount or Crosman makes a copy, I have used both and they allow any scope to be used safely. This gun is really a category of its own, as it is so much easier to shoot accurately than a traditional solid built rifle, and the difference is significant. No hold worries, just put the crosshairs on the button and tickety boo, another bullseye.

@atyzelalmeida1620 Год назад

Wow Andy. That thing is suberb. Impressive👍😍🤩 indeed.

@davidallen7540 Год назад

Great review

@peterbaugh51 9 месяцев назад

Great video again. Me a big fan of German engineered air guns. Big bucks not required. My Beeman 10616 Mantis, $130.00 (US dollars), shoots RWS 8.3 gr Superdomes at 1,000 fps, 18.5 fpe. Accuracy; 0.3" at 30 yards. Has suppressor, low recoil, polymer stock, 9.5 pounds with scope. Kills tree rats at 45 yards, no holdover. I added a $67 Tasco 3x9 40mm AO scope. This gun may not be pretty to some, but beautiful performance at low cost. Just so you know, there are some great affordable German engineered air guns out there. Shoot safe. Magnum air guns are real weapons, not toys. Medium game no problem either.

@99ron30 Год назад

Great review as always. Lovely gun, nice to see a return to German build, but I do wonder how long that will last now that German industry is going to be struggling for energy and resources. I'm not sure I could justify £650 for one though, that's fixed barrel Air Arms and Weihrauch money. If Walther afew years ago could make the LGU Master Pro for £300 retail and the Diana 430L is available for £249 currently, though perhaps that isn't quite as German as Diana's latest offerings. I expect the accuracy of the 430L is almost as good.

@johndivit5869 Год назад

Too expensive, and too heavy! I love the 'Swinesback' comb. Not been around for years. It seems to have a very noticeable bend in the stock which would be perfect for 'Righties' but would be a bugger for 'Lefties'. An Air Arms TX would in MHO be money better spent. Great vid though Andy.
