Welcome to the forum 👍

It used to be a friend's nickname that I kinda stole. During football, the coach used to call him Grandma Rob cause he was joking that he was slow. I used to use it as a profile and Gamertag and have since cut off the Rob part. 

Thank you and welcome to the forum too!

Thank you Kentx!

Will do! I just received it today and will be getting a scope for it tomorrow. I will be trying to get some plinking in this weekend with the weather permitting. It is calling for a lot of rain this weekend and I hope it lets up. 

I guess you really can't beat the production quality of older rifles. Do you still have that 36 in your collection? That sounds like it was one hell of a rifle and you definitely had gotten your money's worth and much much more out of it. It doesn't sound like the T01 is too bad just less...

I did indeed purchase the 430L and that is reassuring with your testament of the rifle. I haven't received it yet only purchasing it a couple of days ago. I will be checking out your links and I do need to find a scope and test some pellets when I get the rifle in. I need to set up a range for...

Thank you and I hope to see you around the forum!

I just picked up one of the Diana 430L that are on sale on AOA to try it out as a first springer. It looks like a promising set up with very good reviews so far. I do really like the Weihrauchs aswell for their looks but I haven't been able to every shoot one. So I hope to one day get to try out...

After watching that now I realize that will be something I will have to make myself conscious about when shooting for sure. It also looks like shooting offhand will take a lot of practice as well to keep the gun steady without interfering with the shot cycle. Thanks for the tip Bill!

Yeah, I can not say I was alway super responsible with them growing up either but they never failed me and the pistols have lasted through two generations of kids growing up from my father to me. The Remington Airmaster I can't say failed me either since I believe I had fallen on it and broke...

I will keep that in mind seems like that gun is a decent value. What kind of reliable accuracy to yards can you expect from springers in that price range out of curiosity? Not trying to do no crazy competition shooting just a curious about the air guns capability. 

Alright will do!

I am looking to do mostly bench shooting with modest offhand shooting and minimal to no hunting with the first gun. I have been recommended the Diana 34 and the Diana 430L and I have decided to go with the Diana 430L for my first springer. I am also open to recommendations for future guns and...

Alright, that sounds good I had ordered some RWS lubricant with my order because I have no such lubricants for air guns at this time. I will defiantly need to get more cleaning supplies and watch some good videos. Thanks for the tip on the cocking and the false sense of actuation so that now I...
