Diana 350 pro compact .22

Tested Griffin slugs in .217 and .218 in a Lothar walther choked barrel specs are for that barrel .215 lands and .221 groove ..217 is too loose and shotgun ...218 fit better but are inconsistent...Conclusion...stick with a decent pellet that has a skirt that engages the grooves..Barracuda 18.52...

My magnum springer in .22 is 11.5 fpe at 80 yards with the barracuda hunter extremes in 18 grn . I can hit small soup cans all day with it .Wind Is more of a factor at that yardage than it is at 25 but a few clicks to adjust and it's doable .I'm assuming your talking about max hunting distance...

There are advantages with slugs inside of 100 yards. If your main reason for them is to hunt..then youll get greater fpe carried further yardages.Granted you'll have lower velocities than a pellet but pellets lose thier energy faster .so what gives? A lighter pellet traveling faster or a slug...

Found out that certain UTG brand one piece mounts are supposed to be paired with diana guns that have either a T06 trigger or T05? Since when has a trigger had any affect on scope mounts? What am I missing because I have the rws one piece on my diana with T05 trigger and my accuracy is just...

I've been using a Hawke 8X42mm Monocular Endurance model ..Any power beyond 8x is going to be shaky and hard to hold still and less of a field of view .42mm objective lens gathers lots of light for a bright image .This monocular can be used with one hand easily and the focus dial is within...

I broke a scope that was packaged with my springer of the Rws brand .Cheap scope to begin with and had a wire reticleMy springer is a 24 FPE beast and I went with a Hawke Vantage to replace...3000 shots in and no problems .

FX Halo ammo ...Leaked by trusted source ...

If your shooting springer for hunting application I would not recommend a higher magnification scope than 4x12 and I would dial it down to zero at 10x power .you will find that it's easier to keep the reticle on target at 10x than anything higher .if your shooting field target competition...

Dude the hawke vantage is rated for rimfire and centerline rifles .I have a vantage 4x12 mounted on a magnum springer at 23 fpe and it's held zero and tracks on clicks paired with the chairgun ballistic program perfectly. Myth versus fact...

Nah don't bother unless your shooting it benched and bagged .If you want a hunter it's a bad idea solely because it's heavy and it's a side lever cocker .Hunting situation put in the field with a stalk and shoot situation is too unwieldy..Better of with a quick acting break barrel. Problem is...

The basic rule of thumb is to not leave a springer stored in the cocked position for extended periods . .while out hunting they are fine loaded and cocked for hours but unlikely you would even cock and load a springer and wait for 2 hours ..Common sense goes a long way.No offense if my message...

The comb is very simple .it's function is to pair with the scope to get in the eyebox or reticle picture so that the reticle is centered to your eye with no shifting or no horizontal or vertical blurring .Your eye needs to be centered in the eyebox of your scope and that's what a comb does...

In my long haul of trial and error..finding that 10 power on scopes is the magical magnification in my case of a magnum springer. Steadier reticle and easier to plant a cheek weld with a forgiving eye relief. Ive been exclusively using 12 power and finding the reticle dances way too much .10...

Any ideas on if a muzzle break that's padded with heavy felt either on the inside or outside would aid in sound suppression on a .22 magnum springer?
