It's always a joy to shoot.

Someone on FB challenged me to a 5-card split at 20Y. Bigger round and nice trigger, thought the D350 would do best of what few I have.



Yay me, for what it's worth. First five cards, first try, at 25-yards (not really setup for his 20-yard recommendation).

I gotta say K0nL4z, I don't know. And probably will never find out. I've never owned a "keeper". I tend to cycle thru different ones often. I'm not into guns, I'm into shooting. :)



Seems sturdy. Don't see any issues with the sights. Not that I'm using them, but nice to have.

Hello again!!! This is my second profile, the first one (L4z4r0s) is held for admision because of a silly little accident... What scope do you use on the 350? Since it's a magnum i'm guessing that a non springer rated one wouldn't last long.

I'm using a UTG 4x32 fixed scope on it with a riser.

Looks like a nice gun, Frank. And you are shooting it well.

Why do you mount the scope so high?

It's one of my best shooters. And can be had new for around $300.

Scope came that way, got the D350 used. Trade actually.



I think it helps reduce the shock to the scope, being on that "riser". It's a fixed-focus, so I might try putting a Gamo recoil reducing rail and single-piece mount later with an upgraded scope.



Meanwhile, seems to sit well for my big 11lb head. :)

I have one and I like it. I put a Maccari spring in it and actually tuned it down a little. I couldn’t hit anything with it when it was new. If you want to practice your hold this is a good gun to get. Mine is super hold sensitive. Once I sorted out the best way to hold it, it is super accurate. Tons more power than I needed so brought it down to about 18 foot pounds. Shoots about 830 with h&n hft pellets in .22. 
It was .177 when I got it but waaaay to powerful for me in that caliber so got a .22 barrel for it. Much better. 

It would be a good candidate for .25 caliber.

I need me a good, heavy, soft-hitting (just shooting paper, typically 25Y, but 50Y sub-MOA would be sweet), .177 or .22, break-barrel.



Under $300, and available somewhere.



I have a couple broken guns on the wall (did I say that already?) that I sure wish I had the skillz to fix. I think I have a local guy, but haven't met him yet.



I wouldn't mind de-magnum-ing that Diana 350. But I'm a driver, not a a mechanic, as I love to say it seems. ;)
