(Without the Bi-pod, I use this rifle for standing shooting at 25 meters now) Anyone around here going to break that record? The Diana 48 is a Magnum rated springer. It's gotta be one you own. Also state if it's a springer or not. Let's go for the record guys! _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2009 10:42 am dummyracer36 Senior Member Joined: 21 Sep 2008 Posts: 723 Location: St. Louis, Missouri my Logun S16 with scope, bi pod, lazer, full 16 shot magazine, and full bottle weighs in at a whopping 13.5 pounds!!! _________________ "not tonight dear, i have a race in the morning"   Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2009 11:17 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Hey D-racer, when you're shooting, do you shoot lying down/sitting? _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2009 11:20 am dummyracer36 Senior Member Joined: 21 Sep 2008 Posts: 723 Location: St. Louis, Missouri sitting, standing, kneeling..... depends on the shot _________________ "not tonight dear, i have a race in the morning"   Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2009 11:21 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands When you're standing, do you also attach the aforementioned gizmos? _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2009 11:25 am dummyracer36 Senior Member Joined: 21 Sep 2008 Posts: 723 Location: St. Louis, Missouri i dont take them off to begin with... too much of a hassle _________________ "not tonight dear, i have a race in the morning"   Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2009 11:33 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands You like em heavy too? I thought I was the only one. A few days ago I shot an Air Arms S400 Xtra Fac. That thing seemed pretty darn light to me while the owner complained it was heavy. I told him to have a go with the D-48. Could get it to group reasonably though, I was worse with the Air Arms. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2009 12:08 pm dummyracer36 Senior Member Joined: 21 Sep 2008 Posts: 723 Location: St. Louis, Missouri yea, i tend to like a bit of heft in my rifles. especially with my springers, i find it adds some needed stability. _________________ "not tonight dear, i have a race in the morning"   Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2009 1:06 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands dummyracer36 wrote: yea, i tend to like a bit of heft in my rifles. especially with my springers, i find it adds some needed stability. Definitely! I'm planning on making a wooden stock to fit the D-48. Still looking into some inspiration though. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2009 2:04 pm Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND The most I can make is just over 10.5 lb with my Tx, and that heavy enough for me.

Do you guys ever get tired of lugging those anchors around ? I have hunted with guns weighing 7-8lbs., and by the end of the day they feel mighty heavy. Maybe I'm just a lightweight...   Posted: Sat Mar 21, 2009 2:27 am Amigo Veteran Member Joined: 18 Sep 2008 Posts: 263 Location: U.S. MidWest Part of rifle weight is perception. The more the bottom edge of the stock angles toward the muzzle, the heavier it will feel. In the field, the closer the rifle is held to the body, the lighter it will feel. Carry an M50 with several hundred rounds of ammo in 120 deg.heat & 98% humidity thru rice paddies and jungle all day every day. After that even a 15 lb. rifle will feel like peewee weight. Like I said, it's perception.

But not everyone does that kind of thing every day. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Sat Mar 21, 2009 7:31 am fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2444 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia Diana 34 with Centerpoint 4-16x40mildot with IR, scope covers, no front/rear sight (front postglobe weighs exactly half ounce).
