    Diana model 27

    Diana model 27 for sale. Purchased with a view to start my grandson on shooting but he has no interest, so has to go. Pics later when I can get hold of a camera but it is in quite nice condition and shoots well. Going for the price I paid of £55 + post.

    I have to agree that if your grandson has no interest in shooting it's only right that he has to go...

    What sort of power is it producing?

    Good luck with the sale. These are great plinkers and at this price this is a bargain.

    I like my shooting but to let the grandson go ! well, I might have to think on that one.

    Never tested the velocity, but I guess not very high.

    WHB Smith did extensive tests of the Diana 27 and found it to be quite powerful - averaging 600 fps with H&N pellets.

    Diana 27

    I used to own this rifle and it is a lovely little gun that suprised me with its power and accuracy
    With light weight wadcutters is was in the high 600's and very accurate at 25 yds
    Its a bargain fun gun with a good trigger and would be ideal for a teenager or just for plinking/informal target shooting in the garden or on the range

    It had the edge on Cadet Majors mainly because it has a very nice trigger

    Enjoy your hols Phil

    John
    hold me back !!
