Anyone have one of these rare beasts?
If so, do they shoot as well as the D54 in 22cal?

Totoro,
last year I inquired about the same thing and was told the power plant was not strong enough.

I have a 52 in .25cal. same power plant. I took part in a group buy on the Dianawerks forum. I had it tuned by John in PA. I have a Vortek PG2 kit in it.
I had a .22cal 56TH and a .20cal LW barreled 34 premium and the only one I kept was the 52. I love the smooth but very solid shot cycle of this quarter bore. Originally I think the group was looking for about 27 ft/lbs. my gun has settled in at about 24 ft/lbs shooting 25.4gr at 650-660fps. Some may feel the trajectory is a tad loopy but this is right up there with one of the most accurate springers I’ve ever owned.
I use it mostly for smacking squirrels and I find the knockdown power is great. If you can find one by all means get it you won’t be disappointed.

I forgot to mention the 20gr H&N FTT’s in my gun shot just as well as the 25.4 JSB’s. I think they were going around 720fps for a little flatter trajectory.

Love your pellet holder ! Creative ! Hope you haven't patented it because I'm going to steal it. LOL ! What size pipe insulation did you use ? Looks like 3/4 ". That would be a great method for hunting.

The unmodified 22 caliber is capable of 180-200 yard shots under ideal conditions.
Also carries a lifetime warranty as long as it has never been tinkered with.

If you can find a .25 Diana 54 you are lucky indeed. There have been several WTB’s for these on multiple forums in the past.
