I'm not usually lucky. I could buy 99 out of 100 lottery tickets and I still wouldn't win, but yesterday I felt like I got lucky.
Thanks to a member on this forum who noticed when I posted about my desire to own a detuned Diana 54 and pointed me in the right direction I was able to make the dream come true.
John from PA had a 54 that he had tuned and customized the stock that came with it when he bought it. John said it's shooting in the 12-13 ft/lbs range.
It arrived yesterday, but the weather (of course) wasn't co-operating with on and off sprinkles. I pulled a spare 3X9 Leapers out of the closet and mounted it. In between threats of a sprinkle, I tossed a bag on the patio table, set a target at 10 yards and put 3 pellets in (almost) the same hole. WOW! I'm gonna love this thing!
Gun shoots super smooth, like my FWB 300S but with more power and absolutely no twang. It's like shooting a PCP.
It's going to be decent weather today so I'm looking forward to zeroing the scope and putting more pellets through it.
John was great to talk to and deal with and I've come to the conclusion that airgunners are some of the most helpful and generous people I've come across on the internet.
Feel like I won the lottery on this one.
