Best Break Barrel on the Market

Jump to latest Follow Reply
The TRUE best if you can acquire one is...….Theoben 12 ft/lb Fenman gas ram. 2nd best is...…...Diana 340 N-Tec Luxus. Luxus means beautiful curley walnut stock. I own a brand new Diana 34 spring rifle and it is everything grand that you read about. The gas ram 340 N-Tec is better. Stupid accurate and fast smooth shot cycle. Mine is more than 12 ft/lbs yet sweet. It's competition,the Sig Sauer 20 ft/lb breakbarrel has a 2 lb trigger {deal breaker for me, I'm a trigger snob}. The Diana 340 N-Tec has a T o 6 trigger and you can adjust to your preference. Don't forget the extra cost beautiful walnut stock. Worth every penny. Synthetic is soooo lame in comparison.

With all this said, my tuned 12 ft/lb TX200 is more accurate and smoother. I don't think any gas ram kit will ever cycle as smooth as a tuned spring piston.

Best part, it's all good ……..just buy both and enjoy. But for break barrels consider the Diana 340 N-Tec. Visit their web site. They have a more powerful model than the 340. In my opinion, stay with the 340.

I agree completely. The guns that shoot harder, are harder to shoot. It likes to be held like any rifle. It produces a little better power than an original Trail. The Maxxim goes about 6 pounds. The trigger is actually pretty nice. It is survival accurate at 25 yards with every single lead pellet i have put in it.

No way I go back to something like a 34 or a 220. Same power, much better factory trigger than in the past, pounds lighter than the same power gas ram options, magazine loading and easier to cock on top of it. A well tuned R-8/HW55 shoots better, at half the power and they are pellet fussy. You can't cock them today to shoot them next Tuesday, or they will end up at 1/3 the power.

The only category the older springers really dominate would be the factory trigger, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the trigger on the Swarm Maxxim.

They may not be the best for punching paper off a bench, but for hunting and actual tool use, the Gamo Swarm series blows the rest away. I want one myself now after shooting the one i got for the grandson.

Until you have used one, you do not understand just how big a game changer that magazine feed is. Especially for a hunter. I expected to hate it, and think it is ugly, but after using it, I want one!

I've read where the magazine feed mechanism has had problems. I did think about the Gamo as an option. After reading all the Tom Gaylords reviews on the Sig I made my decision.

Seems like a nice write up, and I bet the rifle can do good, but the 50 yard shots in windy conditions? Shooting my rimfires, at 50 yards, can most certainly get affected by wind. Some of these airguns are impressive, but I cannot believe almost MOA from a pellet, in windy conditions.

I'm not buying that 50 yard target... nah that group was either a fluke or he shot it at 25 and called it 50.

You have not shot one. I am shooting one everyday, and I believe the targets easily.

The Sig is 2 pounds heavier and a single shot. If i wanted to spend 500$ on a break barrel, I most certainly would not pick the Sig.

I shoot my sig regularly with well over 4000 rounds through it. First, I didn't pay $500, and second i can tell you mine is absolutely wonderful. Worth every penny I paid, and I can easily stack pellets with it every time I pick it up. Shot cycle is smooth and easy, trigger is very good and crisp, overall experience with this gun is fantastic. It is slightly pellet picky, and slightly hold sensitive, but a wonderful gun with a great brand to back it.

having said that, I favor shooting my non-break barrels such as my Diana 48 which I find to be more pellet picky, more hold sensitive as well as slightly less accurate for me.I

To each his own. What a wonderful hobby.

I'm seeing the synthetic versions of the Sig as low as $349 with free shipping. Only drawback to the Sig is weight and size.
