Diana AM03 Stealth N-TEC

Does anyone own one of these? How does it compare to similar price point options with a mounted scope? I have had my dominant shoulder rebuilt so, I need to avoid really heavy cocking efforts, odd angles and reaches, and overly heavy rifles.

I am looking for informal plinking and pest elimination. The biggest critter I need to kill is an opossum at ~20 yards. I also want to humanely take rabbits for dinner. Finding reliable FPE or FPS numbers is a bit of an issue as well so, I don't have a good feel for whether it is too low powered to be effective on rabbits or possums.



TIA,

Sid

I had one in .22. Quickly sold it. You're not gonna like the heavy cocking effort with your bad shoulder. The Mickey Mouse plastic cheek riser was a joke, didn't work. Research posts concerning any Diana gas ram rifles in regards to the rams longevity. There's a reason there's 5 YO Diana gas rams still on the store shelf.

Thanks uglymike!

I don't have any air rifles available locally other than what Walmart and similar places stock so, I was thinking Diana was a reputable brand and not some cheap imported junk rifle from China that would work well.
