Nice groups, especially for such an inexpensive rifle. Interesting on the scope slipping. I ran into the same thing on mine. My 430L had so much droop I had to get a drooper mount. I ended up getting a one piece that was adjustable, but it didn't have a stop pin. After a bunch of shots...

My trigger wasn't very good out of the box either. Mine had no 1st stage and just a sudden break on second stage. But, I was able to adjust it to be perfect for me. Now it has a fairly long smooth and light 1st stage up to a well defined second stage wall and then just a little more pressure...

Congratulations and welcome to the 430L club. I think you will really end up liking that rifle and I wouldn't be surprised if the accuracy continues to improve. One thing to keep an eye on is the breech seal. Mine failed after about 250 rounds or so, but replacing it wasn't too bad, as it...

Great group at that distance. I can't believe that deal lasted as long as it did, wish I had purchased another. Have you tried the 8.44 JSB exacts in it? I'm wondering how they compare to the 10.34 you've been shooting in the 430L. I wanted to get the JSB in 4.53 head size for a tighter...

Excellent shooting. That gun is a keeper. I'd be happy getting groups like that at 25 yards, never mind the 37 yards you were shooting at. What pellets did you settle on for your Fury?

Thanks oldspook, love your targets and the 10 dimes challenge you created. Marflow, thanks for the suggestion. I probably gave the wrong impression. I wouldn’t call it a malfunctioning gun. The arm only came unlatched maybe a dozen times during a tin of pellets, and it may have had to...

Can Removing Cocking Arm vibration/looseness improve Accuracy? Okay, I’m a rank amateur so take what I say with a grain of salt. I bought a Diana 430L and love it, but I’ve been struggling with moments of fantastic accuracy, followed by moments where POI was drifting off. My first problem was...

Love seeing what's possible with a well tuned springer in the right hands.

Great shooting. I was lucky enough to be able to pick one of these beauties as well, though I'm not able to shoot it as well. Hopefully I will be able to get more consistent with a little more time behind the trigger. How is the scope droop on yours. Mine took 2+ shims and all the...

In answer to your original question, here is an inexpensive scope mount that is adjustable for windage and elevation. Its a one piece mount so it shouldn't put any stress on the scope tube. I cannot vouch for how well it will hold zero on a springer though...

While replacing a failed breech seal I stumbled on another issue with my 430L. In essence it is some added drag on the compression tube as it is moved through its travel. The fix won’t dramatically reduce the cocking force, but it might shave a pound or two off of it and should make things...

Thanks Bandg, I have a few springs I've saved from other projects, so I'll look through them and see if there is one I can tuck inside the main seal tensioning spring. I may need to get back into the breech again before too long. I took a look at the new seal with a borescope and it looks...

Here is a follow up on how I dealt with the breech seal problem, hopefully it helps someone else like me that doesn’t have experience with this. Makapili was right, there was no way to get the seal out without tearing things down. I didn’t even attempt it. I’ve never torn an airgun down...

Thanks Makapili, though not what I was hoping to hear. Sounds like my next project will have to be rigging up some kind of spring compressor so I can take things apart and get the compression chamber out on a bench. I’ll give the picks a try first, but your experience is very good to know...
