[Bud-sc]

Name this Springer....hint yes it's a Diana but very rare.....no I longer have it. This picture was taken in 2010....like to share because a lot people didn't even know they made this model which in my opinion was better than the TX 200!!!!! I had 3 TX 200 it out shoot them all at 35 yards!!! Scope was konus 6-24 when they made them in South Korea great glass!!! Tough scope too. Now they made of China

Little later that area where I was shooting was sold and had no where to shoot. Then started Metal detecting the beach....high end metal detector cost $$$$....

Is it a 54 Air King? A friend had one I used to borrow but the stock was not as nice as what's shown in your picture.

From a guy from the old yellow forum told me there were around only 5-7 of these in the states at the time......

Thanks ...but no 54....

It looks like a Diana 56 Target Hunter but with a different stock.

That's correct.... Hard to believe there were more Whiscombe in the states then this rifle!!!

 

[Chuck-in-Ohio]

That's a pretty rare variant, there can't be many of them about.

I have seen that model mentioned maybe twice, and never any posted pictures of an actual rifle.
Thanks for sharing it!

I thought I may have seen it referred to as a Feild target model. Can’t remember were…

 

[readyfisher9]

It looks like a Diana 75 air rifle for a 10-meter competition. Side lever, and with the dual piston recoil elimination. Some call it the Giss system. They are not on everyone's rack, but than not very rare. I know of several that are owned. I understand that they shoot very nicely.

Yup they wanted go against the HW98. I think Diana was using a better barrel for this rifle too and the Tigger even though it was the T01 Tigger it was set to break like glass. Man that gun loved the crosman premieres 10.5. At 35 yards no problem sacking pellets in a group smaller than a dime. I which to harder targets at 40 yards multicolor thumb tacks with the small heads or BB's....

This rifle was the 48SL it shot 10.5gr crosman premieres at 840fps. It's was a tack driver for sure. It out shoot 3 TX200 I had and a HW97. Those days long gone now.
