    Edit: Disregard the above, got your Pioneer confused with peakcentrals 'Wolf.
    Haha easy to confuse these 2 beauties

    Anyway I guess I was expecting more like 7 but 5 is OK for a Plinker anyhow.

    She shoots remarkably smoothly

    I´ll be puting her up for sale soon. What is she worth as is without the stock refinishing?

    Value? No idea, I couldn't even remember which rifle it was.

    I'll start the guessing at around the "new price" that humperdingle mentionned above.

    Haha

    Well I am aware that it's a budget air rifle so I am not expecting anyone to say 50 quid

    Current B2 retail is 39.95

    Cheers

    I can't believe that this thread already has over 500 hits

    What was everyone expecting to see?

    Does anyone have Airgunner or Airgun World mags from '83-'86? I'd love to see a scan of the old B/W ad... It was fairly small, so may be hard to find, but normally at the back of the mags next to the other ads.

    Nearly 700 now!

    I'll run the Wolf across the chrono asap - probably tomorrow.

    Odd isn't it? 700 and counting...

    Did you see my pics of the restoration?

    The RWS/Original Diana 24 is a nice rifle, even if it was forced to masquerade as a Webley (Webley Firebolt anyone? a flippin QB78 innit!).

    If you want to extract more power there is a nice nylon piston washer that Maccari sells IF YOU DARE. Longstroke, bigger spring - you could be pushing 7.5 ft/lbs.
