Offering Diana Stormrider .22 regulated with 2 new mags and Diana 3-9 AO scope. See my story below. Questions and comments welcomed.
My entry level PCP airgun. It is set up for left handed shooting but easily used by right handed shooter or converted to RH. Upgrades include Alteros adjustable regulator for more consistent shots, polished hammer and sear with special trigger adjustment screws. Trigger is adjustable and now breaks under 1 lb yet safety works properly when engaged. Heavier barrel screws, three 4mm instead of one plus two 3mm and a 4mm screw holding action to barrel instead of 3mm. Includes two new 7 round mags, Diana 3-9 AO scope, short pic rail for bipod (not included), oaftermarket charging handle (notorious for breaking off), fill hole plug and 2000+ quality pellets (JTS, Crosman and JSB). All you need is a high pressure hand pump or an air compressor that will generate 2900psi max in 100cc tube. Hand pump is slower and a challenge at my age (81). Challenge yourself quietly (moderator is standard) in your backyard with target shooting and/or pest control.
Bought new in September 2024 and winter came early in MN. Didn’t expect to take to the sport as quickly as I did - less than 500 rounds thru it. Bought an Umarex Zelos in December with more features, power and tuning potential now don’t shoot the Stormrider anymore
if you’re curious about how it went from rh to lh, it started with the cocking handle breaking off, badly scarring the pellet probe and its housing to remove it. Couldn’t stand looking at my work and found a left handed receiver (term ?), the pellet probe is already ambidextrous and to a certain extent I am too. Probably about $50 for parts to make it rh again. An easy airgun to work on - great videos from Tyrone in SA. Meticulous, step by step demonstration. One project I started bur didn't complete was adding a CF reinforcing tube and floating the barred. Barrel band has been modified to only support air tube. New oem on ebay for about $15 to replace if you choose. Found the right size tube on amazon but hadnt decided how to transition from CF to moderator. A project worth completing in my opinion.
About $500 invested - a very high quality airgun with enhancements for $350. Upgrade to a like-new Bushnell Dusk and Dawn 6-18x44 for +$100. Break-in is done. Barrel originally cleaned and properly leaded. All screws properly tightened. I was a powder gun shooter until I chanced upon airguns and was confused by what I learned as you may be now. If you are not familiar with today’s airguns features and performance possibilities, take the opportunity to learn. If you enjoy shooting and don’t have the time or money to frequent a shooting range as often as you want, this is worth strong consideration. Can be shipped without FFL concern at actual cost in original box. Many reviews on the Stormrider - check them out on youtube.
Retail prices will be increasing when tariffs are fully effective. How much remains to be seen. Over 25 years on ebay with 100% rating.
