    My old Blue Streak is back in action!

    That's awesome! As a kid growing up in the 60's and 70's I had a Crossman but my friend had a Blue Streak. I always wanted that gun! Embarrassed a bit to say what fell prey to our wanderings in those far off days. Thanks for sharing. -Robert

    Opinions on this? First PCP purchase

    Well, no luck with this one. It sold before I could make an offer. Thanks for all the helpful advice - you guys are great. Based on what you recommend and the fact that I'm new to airguns, I'm going to play it safe and buy new. I'm willing to pay a bit more to avoid the hassle. -Robert

    Opinions on this? First PCP purchase

    I am new to airguns and have posted to this forum only a few times. I am finding that many of the PCP's I'm interested in are on backorder and hard to get. I found this one for sale locally and wonder what a fair price might be. Also, are there any known issues with this gun that I should be...

    Advice needed

    Hello everyone. I am relatively new to air guns but have shot rifles and pistols all my life. I live in the city and need something silent and lethal to kill mostly starlings. I've got an old Diana 34 springer and it's a great gun - but it's just a bit too noisy. I've got a budget of about...

    Scope recommendations for old Diana 34?

    I don’t have a chronometer so I wonder what the muzzle velocity of this rifle should come in at. I know it will vary with pellet weight but can someone give me a general approximation of what I should expect? Thanks again for all the help, Robert

    Scope recommendations for old Diana 34?

    Yes I did! Also bought the recommended BKL 1 piece 11mm droop compensating mount. Very happy camper. I've been a powder-burner all my life and am just getting into airguns. Oh boy, I can see I'm going to have some of those PCP's in the very near future.

    Scope recommendations for old Diana 34?

    Well, here is my new setup on the old Diana and a target I just shot at 25 yds offhand. I am impressed with the accuracy! The only drawback is the weight, but hey, I can deal with that.

    Scope recommendations for old Diana 34?

    The original base attached to the rifle has woefully little purchase area. Is there perhaps a quality aftermarket base available?

    Scope recommendations for old Diana 34?

    First, I want to thank all of you that responded to my first post on this forum. What a great bunch of folks. I just bought an old Diana 34 springer (made on 03/94) that is in excellent condition. Now I'm looking for a scope as the one that came with it is non-functional due to a broken front...
