They are on sale for $199 & I'm tempted because I like the low power on a Springer. They also look very nice in the picture .
Has Anybody purchased a rws 430 from aoa....
- Thread starter rwsmike
- Start date
OMG!!! Grab several!
I almost laughed when you said low powered, but reread “on a springer.”
I myself would LOVE one. I hope sale lasts until beginning of October.

Hector Medina wrote a good objective blog on the gun. It's exclusive to AoA and is not supported by Umarex as it is not under the RWS label. I've been holding off on buyin one but will probably bite. I like the idea of a failry light weight fixed barrel gun. 12fpe on that platform is fine and should have a nice short shot cycle. Ive got a BSA Superstar and CFX as well but the BSA springers are a pain to work on and the CFX build quality isnt great so I dont use it as often as before out of fear of issues comin up. (Trying to maximize it's shelf life) Dianas are easy to work on and well built. At $200 you could do alot worse for the money. Theres a few reviews of the 430L on GTA as well.

When you say not under rws umbrella does it still have the life warranty that rws had ? Not sure it matters a lot because very straight forward on maintenance.

This is my only Springer right now and dont be fooled by the silly stock because I can do 1/2 groups at 40 yds

I bought a 430L and quickly dumped it. Huuuuuuuggee cocking effort for a 12 ft/lb. rifle. This is not an all day plinker. This is not a youth or young adult rifle. You have to WANT to cock this rifle. Is AOA an authorized warranty service and repair outlet for Diana? Does AOA still charge a 20% return fee? Some things to consider before you purchase.

Very interesting points....surprised about the effort to cock this gun . My cz 634 is very easy to cock

I woulda bought one if they had been available in .22. I don't really need the power of the 460, but I bought one in .22, and had it tuned back to 13 FPE by Motorhead . It cocks light and shoots sweet and one hole accurate! It's a bit larger and heavier than the 430L, but that's no problem!
