Good review as always. Nice little springer, got a HW99S a couple of years ago, ostensibly for my grandson but just use it myself when I want a change from PCP's. There is something satisfying about using a basic spring air rifle with open sights (even if the target is a blur with 66 year old eyes).

@alexeysaphonov232 2 года назад

HW99 and especially S it is a completely different class of springers. From the House of Weihrauch I'd rather compare 240 with hw30 (not even S). HW30/50S are considered to be the best quality for price entry level in Germany Diana 240 is the best in low budget segment.

Takes me back to when my dad bought me an air rifle when I was 12. Great stuff. More of this budget plinking I say!

@Kevin-mx1vi 2 года назад

I like it. The stock reminds me very much of my 1947 BSA Cadet (my own first rifle, still in my possession) and it seems like a lot of fun to plink with. At that price it's a good first rifle for a youngster because you're not losing much if they don't take to shooting.

@sergentcolon1 2 года назад

Nice little back garden plinker, especially for those not blessed with large gardens. Will make a nice low cost junior introduction rifle and I find fibre optic sights a lot easier to use than normal open sights.

I probably fall into the category of the people complaining about the price of some of rifles . But shooting is a second hobby of mine and some of the prices are eye watering . But I also do appreciate the reviews of the rifles that are expensive and as always the comment's are directed towards the price of the gun not the superb quality of your videos because your reviews are always informative and top draw .. and maybe the patient number 240

Thanks for your channel and your great reviews. But there was one phrase you used that made me smile. You said that the rifle " Won't have too much power to do too much harm ". Haha, even as a boy I wanted my rifle to have as much power as i could afford to do as much harm as possible. Maybe it's an American thing.

@rzarco01 8 месяцев назад

@engineeredlifeform 2 года назад

Looks great to use as a club gun. Since I got my NSRA YPS ticket I've been looking at buying some budget guns to train kids with, and this is defo on the shortlist. I like the automatic safety, wouldn't want one on my gun, but for pupils, that's great. I like that it isn't stippled, as a quick wipe down between sessions will cover all the surfaces, stippling isn't that sanitary if you share. Power level is great, no point hammering your pellet traps, and the lower fps means you can teach holdover at more reasonable ranges. Cheers for this one.

@johndivit5869 2 года назад

10 x 10 Andy ! Fantastic little rifle which is perfect to introduce first time shooters. Nothing succeeds like success, and having an affordable little gun which hits what you aim at is all that it takes! Tack driving comes later!! TTFN.

@petejones1957 Год назад

Super review, and a super little gun. Very much reminds me of the BSA Meteor that we had as kids, 3 or 4 of us clubbed together to buy a 2nd hand one, and as none of us were allowed by our parents to have an airgun, we had to keep it hidden in the woods, sadly, we didn't hide it well enough, and someone "relieved" us of it! Anyway, When I started working, I bought a new one and a scope, then a Mercury, which was a lot nicer....Happy days

@johnharris1077 2 года назад

As others have suggested, I also think this 240 is heir to the Diana 24 - T03, from the 1990's. Originally sold by RWS, I bought mine used in the States. At 41 1/2" its slightly longer than your 240 but with comparable power. Last time over the chrony mine averaged 606 fps with 7.33 JSBs (or 6 ft-lbs). I tried a scope and decided the weight took away from the essential nature of the weapon. Now it has an aperture rear sight matched to the original perlkorn. Thanks for the review.

@alexeysaphonov232 2 года назад

Andrew asked why two-forty. It is a remake for Diana 24 (even russian springer mp512 through Diana 22 which russian copy is also known as PSR aka ПСР, but it is a difficult lineage) which used to be a very prominent model in the past. Two-forty was previously produced as 240 but as Diana became a part of GSG (aka German Sport Guns) they re-issued it. I know that Diana still produces some models like AirKing in Germany, but the majority are probably manufactured somewhere in Asia.

@BartHuitsing 2 года назад

I believe numerical models are Made in Germany, the rest is probably from elsewhere. I bought a couple of years ago a 280 classic which is German.

@Gieszkanne Год назад

@rapalaron6348 2 года назад

I,m happy to see a springer again. For sure a nice airgun for the younger shooter. I wonder how it will group with a scope mounted. If you wear glases it is often a problem to shoot with open sights.

@steve5772 2 года назад

Can't beat a springer and open sights for keeping you down to earth. Whenever anyone I'm coaching tells me they need a better gun, I show them a card I shot with a 15 year old SMK B2 at 20-odd metres. I was aiming about 4 feet high, but they all went in.

@darrenbeniston3130 2 года назад

Morning Andy what a great little air rifle and as you said perfect for the younger members of the sport and for new comers also and maybe for the well seasoned shooters out who just want to relive there childhood ,and as for the rifle only being 6ftlbs if my memory serves me correctly air rifles in Germany could only be 6ftlbs

@markrichens6893 2 года назад

Another great video. Thanks Andy. I love a springer. Shoot mine much more than my PCPs and that one seems fabulous for the junior and the senior! I find springers shoot better if rested on your hand rather than a tripod. Not here to criticise, just an idea. Here to enjoy the content again. Please keep it coming

Recently bought a springer pistol that I think you should check out. It's called the Strike Point by Umarex and it's quite a bit of fun. It has a pump system that gives you more power the more you pump it up; I was recommended by the guy in the shop to never try more than 10

@mikehunt8968 2 года назад

Accuracy would massively improve if you use a non solid rest, springers are lively beasts and need taming by a consistent softer hold, eg the fore end rested on a cushion or your hand.

@ytucharliesierra 2 года назад

Very inspiring review indeed. Thank You Andy! I can relate much more to such a springer review because I am not a fan of PCP or Co2. Too much power management for me as the occasional plinkerer/target shooter. I don't want to hold myself up with Co2 cartidges or a compressor for a PCP. With its advertised 7,5 joule output, this baby complies with our german laws for permitted output of non licensed airguns. (nitpicking alert: 5,53 ft.lbs according to my math). I think that with i.e. 7,41 grain pellets it would have the potential of meeting the specs on the chrony. However I believe that 7,87 or 8,18 grain pellets would be optimal for this rifle.

@bmkretrogaming7634 2 года назад

If I might make a suggestion Andy if you get a chance you should review the Springfield Armory M1A Underlever Pellet Rifle at some point. I just got one recently, and have found it quite satisfactory thus far. Unfortunately I haven't found too many reviews for it yet. It's a nice replica of the U.S. Garand M1A, fires at up to 1,000 fps muzzle velocity, and is thus perfectly suited for varmint/pest, and small game hunting. Also being a replica of an iconic U.S. battle rifle is a plus. Though I'll grant it wouldn't be quite as iconic in Europe. It would certainly be a nice review to add with the other spring piston reviews you've done.

@IneedMoneyDK Год назад

Those fiber optics are really fragile. Broke a few by accident, much prefer iron sight even though fiber optic gives a more clear picture. Just bought the Diana 27 with T06 trigger and iron sights to add to the collection of german springers! Nice review Andy. Regards
