I have a scope on my MKII that was rings hat can be loosened and tightened with our thumb...   Posted: Wed Aug 05, 2009 11:12 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands I have to say, I don't know. A weaver rail on there will go on the normal scope rail which is already a bit high. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Aug 05, 2009 11:27 am tundrawolf Member Joined: 03 Jun 2009 Posts: 20 Ok, let me ask you this. On the standard model RWS 34, is there a scope rail on it? I have been unable to find that information. A folding stock is not a bad idea! But is there one comparably priced to the RWS 34 that si as accurate? Accuracy is my primary concern..   Posted: Wed Aug 05, 2009 11:44 am broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Don't swear in CHURCH! Most airguns have a scope rail. Except some Crosman models. A folding stock is something you'd have to fabricate yourself. There aren't much folding stock design airguns. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Aug 05, 2009 12:09 pm tundrawolf Member Joined: 03 Jun 2009 Posts: 20 HAHA. No problem. i am good at fabrication. Another question: Does the RWS34 make full use of the stock, or is the stock removable? (In other words, is there a spring tube that extends into the stock?   Posted: Wed Aug 05, 2009 12:41 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Another question easily answered: Nope. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Aug 05, 2009 12:47 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2442 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia The stock 34 is fairly accurate. No match gun, but if you're just here to take squirrels and game birds, then it's just fine. The stock Diana comes with a 11mm dovetail scope rail. Some people have issues with the stop pin (or lack of it...). _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly. It's not that I'm not a people person, it's just that I'm not a stupid people person.   Posted: Wed Aug 05, 2009 1:14 pm tundrawolf Member Joined: 03 Jun 2009 Posts: 20 According to the reviews I read, the gun is capable of 1/2" groups at 1,000 yards. Is this true?   Posted: Wed Aug 05, 2009 1:26 pm broommaster2000 Moderator Joined: 10 Mar 2007 Posts: 5714 Location: City of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands Certainly. 1/2" is no problem for the gun. May be a problem for the shooter though. Let's not forget that break barrels wear down! After thorough shooting they will wear down, and eventually the barrel will come loose. You need a HUGE amount of shots with most good modern guns, but don't forget that Diana are mostly made in China. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Aug 05, 2009 1:28 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2442 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia Dianas are made in China now? _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

Besides, quality control is something you pay for. If it's made in Germany or in China there isn't a necessary difference if the quality control is good. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Aug 05, 2009 2:05 pm tundrawolf Member Joined: 03 Jun 2009 Posts: 20 They are made in China??? Why bother with it then I wonder! That's a big needle in my balloon!   Posted: Wed Aug 05, 2009 2:11 pm tundrawolf Member Joined: 03 Jun 2009 Posts: 20 broommaster2000 wrote: Certainly. 1/2" is no problem for the gun.

They fall apart like that?   Posted: Wed Aug 05, 2009 2:32 pm fritz Silver Status Member Joined: 25 Nov 2008 Posts: 2442 Location: New Jersey- outside of Philadelphia It took over 10,000 shots, plus hauling around in the woods and stuff for a single screw to come loose on my 34. It was the left side, fore grip screw. That day I tightened everything down and it has worked fine for another 5,000 shots. _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.
