Who said it was? They are different models; the 460 is more powerful. It is still an underlever. The 46 seems to be a rare model with a unique loading "port"; the 46 also had some problems.

I've got a D46. Very well made rifle. Not the most accurate in my arsenal, but it'll keep 'em within 3/4" at 25 yards. The unique loading gate is reminiscent of the Walther target rifles and the Webley Eclipse of days gone by. It's a nice sized, handy rifle that should be adequate for most airgun tasks.
Here's a video that I made featuring my 46.

the 46 had, has one big problem
the cocking handle liked to break
the rear portion was cast metal, and the handle part was a tube
when the handles were available, they were pricy
Waffencenter Gotha show them out of shock and i am not sure if that mean not more or they are having them made
and at 90 Euros plus 40 Euro shipping that is over 150 bucks
now, on the hand, the 46 came in some different forms and some are very valuable
now would i buy one i think i would be on the maybe not side
it is a Diana classic

Now they charge an extra 30 euros due to MAGA tariffs and you can no longer use a credit card to purchase. So now the minimum shipping cost is 70 euros.

Waffencenter years ago took Pay Pal and then just transfers i stopped using them not because of their service because of the shipping and that is too bad they have many things that cannot be found anywhere we are in shipping purgatory i am afraid

A detail of the model 46 that I like is that the receiver tube is significantly slimmer and lighter than similar guns with a sliding sleeve type breech. Its flip-up loading port is, in that sense, a modern alternative to the rotating loading tap seen on many vintage fixed-barrel springer rifles.
Other features shared with those vintage classics: not putting your fingers in harm's way to load a pellet (
); a long power-robbing transfer port ( ).

I enjoy shooting mine....something different. When you own a lot of springers you want a variety. I have a Beeman sight on this one.
