lllluke1 328 Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 WOW! I'm having one of those! I heard this Mauser K98 copy is being built on the Diana 46 underlever. That was a great rifle, so this K98 copy will not be a poor do for hunting. Any ideas on price anyone? And I wouldn't trade my 18 year old HW80 .22 for anything made today either! Woodfield GCP offering them at £310 https://woodfield-gcp.co.uk/?product=diana-mauser-k98-air-rifle 2 Quote Link to post
Jonjon79 13,340 Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 I have not to long re joined the Air Rifle Community and have a BSA Scorpion SE .177 and a Ultra SE .22 both work and do their job and more to the point All Mine, if Crap then My Crap. Hindsight is as we all know after the fact, but not always a good thing. Every Air Rifle I shot in the 1960s - 70s and up to the early 1980s for me was a joy and The Dogs Gonads. Just wonder if there is too much of a good thing Now Days? All the best Renos There's no crap there Renos. 2 quality rifles and a nice set up covering both calibres I've had a few rifles now while trying to decide what I want. I concluded that some of the supposedly top of the range, exotic, electronic rifles are an over engineered expensive pain in the arse. Give me an accurate, simple, mechanical type experience any day. 2 Quote Link to post
Coypu Hunter 486 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 350 beans chaps. Weighs 9lbs. Made by Diana. Aint gonna be no SMK build. There's a review of the Diana Mauser replica in the July issue of Airgun World. Overall positive. The reviewer says he was hitting a 40mm kill zone freestanding at 20 yards consistently, and plinking tin cans at 55 yards, all freestanding with open sights... Quote Link to post

You'll find that an air gun's accuracy with Airgun World depends almost entirely on how much the maker's advertising budget is. Obviously Diana are in the lower end of advertising revenue.

Deadeye18 164 Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Id get on the pests with an 1988 Lazaglide Venom HW80. And I wouldn't give a shit about the calibre Do it mark. In all honestly, this Diana rep of a K98 has really caught my eye. Massive fan of Band of Brothers, world war 2 games etc growing up. Imagine going out with a German Mauser 160222143311002-2.jpg I know its not 'old' but its new old. So to speak. Now that looks smart,want one!!!Ive got one thats .410 shotgun and 5 de acted but I'd REALLY love to shoot one full bore! Quote Link to post
PeskyWabbits 464 Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 I missed my first, standing, shot. So I leaned on a round bale feeder and got it at about 30 yards, which is the zero range for this setup. Weihrauch HW35 1983. Hawke Endurance 3-10 x 44, home made muzzle weight, RWS Super Field .22. 30 yards appx If I ever sell my guns, I will keep this one back. It is my favourite. A plain Jane in comparison to a Pro Sport but nicely functional. 4 Quote Link to post

PeskyWabbits 464 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 I use Super Field just because there weren't any Super Domes in stock. I have had a few success though Quote Link to post
Underdog 2,337 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Yes, they are good. I have one to. What ever happened to all the Webley omegas? Still fancy one now! Quote Link to post
