"...A tuned rifle is a good bet, and he could spend 3x as much on a German gun that MAY not shoot any better."

This is what has kept me from pulling the trigger on the Diana 34. I know that Mike will make sure the Chinese clone is a shooter right out of the box. I'm not sure what I'll get from RWS, although I've been looking at DIY tuning options that I could work my way up to over time.

"...something like a Diana 34"

I talked myself out of it too many times. I'm thinking she might be the one.

Now I've got to find a deal. Any advice on what the market looks like during the holidays? Think the savings are worth waiting until Black Friday?

Maybe look for a tuned Diana 34 or similar? (Beeman R9, Weihrauch HW95) You may be able to get it for close to the price of a new one that is NOT tuned. Maybe around $250-300? Then, you'd have a German gun that you'd know would shoot well. (if purchased from a reputable seller)
