Stick with a Diana. I recommend the 34 in .22. That simple. Put a 4-12x scope on with an adjustable objective (recommend Centerpoint). _________________ "I never set out to be wierd, it was always everyone else who called me it" -Frank Zappa Speed is impressive, accuracy is deadly.

Only 12 Fpe. That means that in .22, you'll easily see the pellets fly down the range in a pretty curve. Not something I personally like, and I've owned a .22 rifle at 12 Fpe. .22 only gets interesting past 16 Fpe in my opinion. 12 Fpe is more fitting to .177, that's what I say. Weihrauch rifles also diesel a lot, out of the box. _________________ BIG GAP First timer, need some help.     Air Gun Home Forum Index » General Air Gun Questions and Topics You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
