    It looks good. Thanks. Does it have a pellet database? If not, how would I input pellet data? David

    Pellet rifle ballistics software

    I have Hawke's Chairgun and their Ballistic Reticle Calculator while both programs are useful I am looking for ballistics software that expressed drop in both MOA and Mils. The Hawke software only does inches and MOAs. Seems like a no brainer to offer drop in mils since so many shooters use...

    Leg spring installation Diana 52

    Wadcutter: Thank you. This will be a big help. It is always unnerving when disassembling something and a spring flies out before you understand how it should be secured. Right now I don't own a rifle, I own a bunch of parts that I know go together to make a rifle but I'm not quite sure how...

    Leg spring installation Diana 52

    I'm installing a Vortex tuning kit and when disassembling the rifle the leg spring popped out before I could see what is holding it in place. The end that goes into the rifle is just two straight pieces of wire. Are there holes these ends fit into? I can't see any but want to make sure i...

    (expired)WTB - Spring compressor for Diana 52

    Crossman Premier pellets in RWS air rifle

    By the way, how can I tell which trigger I have? My model 52 was made around 2000. I can't remember if it was before or after that year. I know they switched to the T 05 around that time but I'm not sure how to be certain. I would like to attempt to lighten the trigger myself and need to...

    Crossman Premier pellets in RWS air rifle

    I have only been looking into this for a short time. I have several firearms I like to shoot regularly and haven't given the RWS much attention. Reading about air rifles on this site, hunting with mine and learning the ways they can be improved with relatively minor changes has got me pretty...

    Thoughts on RWS Diana 52?

    Spysir, Looking at the information you sent me has been helpful. Thank you. Because my model 52 is about 15 years old I think it uses the T 05 trigger and not the T 06. I read they introduced the T 06 in 2011. Is the procedure for adjusting the trigger pull the same or are the two trigger...

    Thoughts on RWS Diana 52?

    Thank you. I will study what you sent. Do you think Hawke is the right way to go? They seem to be high quality. Is that the brand a lot of people use or is there something else I should look at as well? Thanks. David

    Thoughts on RWS Diana 52?

    I have had this rifle for quite some time but am just now getting interested in exploring it's potential for both hunting and target shooting. I would like to make a few modifications to improve its performance. First, the scope is a cheap RWS scope. I am thinking of upgrading to a Hawke. I...

    Crossman Premier pellets in RWS air rifle

    I apologize but although I have owned the rifle for quite some time I am now just getting into it for small game hunting. I am not familiar with the abbreviations you guys use. I don't know what a CPL or CPH. I assume Crossman Premier something. The ones I am shooting are simply Crossman...
