I've only shot two D350s. One in 177 and one in 22. Both shot like a bucket of bolts and neither hit near the POA. In all fairness both guns belonged to general consumers and probably had wasted scopes on them. They might shoot fine with a tune and an Airmax scope. Still more plastic and violent than I relish.
Look we all have our favorites but let's keep our information accurate and fair.
Agreed on the last part. So, to be fair, the bigger Weihrauch springers shoot like a bucket of bolts, too, off the factory. I know mine did, and 1000's of others.
I'd liken Weihrauch and Diana spring guns to "finish-it-yourself" guns; with a basic tune-up and breaking-in, they become very good guns, that get better the more they are shot, and last for decades if not more.
Guys always talk about this or that Weihrauch that's 30+ years old and still a fine shooter. Well, D48/52's from 1987 are also still in action today, and as deadly as when new (actually more). They are solid, dependable workhorses that are accurate, powerful and compact, a not too common combo.
One thing that is solidly in the 'inaccurate and unfair' category is comparing super magnums like the 350 Mag to mid-power guns such as a HW95. My 350 Mag .22 cal puts out
24.2 fpe with FTT 14.66 gr's, with OEM parts through and through. It's a completely different weapon, with completely different capabilities and properties than a 15 fpe HW. Still, once broken in, the Mag will not loosen stock screws, or dental fillings. It will start to sing.
I own a bunch of Dianas with plastic trigger guards and end caps. I have never had an issue with them, and have never heard of such, from browsing through thousands of Diana discussions online. The plastic in the Dianas is where it is of no consequence. I don't cherish plastic on my guns, either, but can't argue with the results. And results rule, impressions fool.
