RWS Diana 52 & 54

These are great power houses and i truly reccommend them.
I have both in .177
For some people they can be a bit heavy to lug about in the field but
they are a super smooth full power hunter and i have no problems with the trigger.
But if you can get one go for the 54 Airking in .177

Thanks Hooker, the 54 will be my first choice if I can find a decent one. The weight doesn't bother me, I already shoot an FAC'd HW80k as my hunting air rifle and prefer the stability the weight brings. Most of my shots are from a supported seated or prone position anyway.

I'm not in a massive rush though, just wanted some info before looking properly in the next month or so.

It's worth getting one, they're smashing (but heavy!!) rifles

Here's mine..

Thank you for that, very interesting.

It is good to see there are tuning options out there for these rifles and I was also surprised to see the 54 can be FAC'd to a decent power too; I knew the 52 could but had thought the SR action of the 54 might restrict it power wise.

i had a go of someones 54 air king at the weekend.

Funny thing is he was thinking about selling it if i remember right, shot just like a TX200 SR, very impressive.

I bought an original 52 recently. After a service with new seals etc it shoots great! Some people suggested to me these can easily go over the 12ftlbs limit if your not carefull fitting a transfer port restrictor (part 19a) it shoots a steady 11.5ftlbs The only real downside for me is the weight as mentioned.
