That's a thought we've all had. 
Anyway, the discussion is more in the fact that there are people who are stupid enpough to believe Gamo's marketing in the USA. |

| What do you plan on hunting anyway and from what distance, this will determine how much fpe you need. Also how much do you want to spend? |

| Out to 25 yards with what kind of light? Because you might be able to use iron sights with it. That would get you a bit more rifle for the money not paying for a scope. |

For $229 you can get the Diana 34 with a 4x32 scope and mounts, ground shipped to your door.
The synthetic stocked version is the full $250, again with free shipping. |
