Shot this group of ten shots at 25 yards with my vintage Diana 45. All under a quarter. 9 of 10 under a penny 
. Fun shooting. First time with JSBs. Usually shoots HN FTT well.

That oughta’ do it!
At one time, those 45s were the flagship models of the Diana line, their answer to the 124

I chopped the barrel on this one and reground it. Turned it into a carbine. I really like it!

Lovely rifle and carbine modification. By coincidence, I had just taken my own .22 RWS 45 from the safe for a little exercise. Bought the rifle about 1982 from Jerry Thomas at WCAGs. It still wears the original, 4X Bushnell and we have had many adventures together. A reliable, accurate, old friend. IIRC, RWS advertised it as capable of 2" groups at @50 yds, which was pretty good for a field grade rifle in that era.
Questions: Is yours the reissued model 45? It appears to have no stock cross bolt and a TO1 trigger differs from the unit on the early 45s.
Thanks for sharing. Hope you are enjoying that classic.

Good shooting there, and a sweet looking carbine -
I've done a chop job on this 177 Panther, but just don't get to shoot her enough -

Yes. This is the newer model that has the same action as the 34 model but marked as 45. I really like the 45 stock though.

I have a Beeman 250 which is a Diana 45. It’s been quite “reworked” with new seal, spring, and Teflon buttoned piston. It’s extremely sweet shooting. One of the best values in used market by far!! 
Stock has also been refinished.
