Thanks Just ordered one per your suggestion. My very next question was going to be about tuning and it looks like there’s a good bit of info in that thread. Thanks so much to all for the good advice.

My pleasure. Good luck. Make sure to search and read other threads. You don’t want to follow the advice of just one or two people. There’s a lot of very knowledgeable folk here. Seek those out.

I always suggest the xsisco XS-25 for new airgun enthusiasts. It's a RWS 34 clone and shoots pretty much identical. Buy a tuned one for less than the RWS 34 and you get a excellent rifle for $165http://flyingdragonairrifles.org/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=51

So she came in a couple days back. First thing I noticed was the craftsmanship and fit and finish, both superb and in a completely different universe than the Ruger I own.
after a couple hundred shots I got the Ruger sighted in to where I can consistently hit a small unopened can of Rotel at 40 yards with enough power that the pellet enteried and exiting the can .
I tried the same thing with the Dianna at 30 yards and was getting the same results out of the box using iron sights. The trigger on this thing is a thing of beauty. One of the best pulls I have on any of my firearms and I’ve done some pretty nice trigger jobs on a few of my AR’s.
Got a scope mounted on some 1 inch rings and an experiencing some droop but I have several sets of rings laying around so I’m not too worried. The only negative thing is that it is noticeably louder than the nitro piston I’m used to but from what I read that can settle down after it’s broken in. I’ve also noticed that the pellet doesn’t fit very tight in the chamber. It almost falls out if I were to hold it with the barrel in the air while the breech is open. Can’t wait to get scope worked out and break her in!!
