    Diana G46

    Hi all been trying to find a rough value through the threads to this rifle to no avail, so a little help would be most gratefully welcomed.

    It's a diana G46 in a nice condition missing rear open sight & might need a lube,with nikko stirling silver crown 6x40wa also nice condition.



    Many thanks Stewit

    The Diana G46 was one of Milbro's offerings and as such is not in great demand.
    I would estimate the value at around the £50 mark.

    No Keith, sell the scope seperately.

    They certainly were Basa, and in 1980 a FWB Sport was £97!

    G46

    Hello , The G46 was also called the Targetmaster , i dont think they came with a rear site at the breech , but it should have Milbro's own diopter on it, they are quite unusual and i think it would be worth a bit more than £50 , but thats only my opinion , i've had a couple and they have all been .22 , hope this may help you .

    You're not wrong Basa. When I cast my mind back to 1960 when I first started work, it was a different world! My first wage was £3-4 shillings and sixpence and you could buy a house for £500.

    Stewit sorry for the thoughtless post,re under £50 new, did not mean to suggest thats its worth now,far from it, looks a very nice little rifle,and the write up in the mag gave it the thumbs up, as a grown up full power hunting tool,good luck with your sale.

    G46

    Thanks to all for their input,it's is in .22 and there's nowhere to fix the rear sight at the breach so just the scope rail as was suggested a target rifle.
    Many thanks again Keith.

    Yes, the G46 targetmaster. Originally it came with a Diopter sight, there never was a rearsight (M31 diopter?? Milbro made, only the Brits would make a target rifle in .22) and is quite an unusual Milbro it has to be said. I'd say more than £50, though you dont have the diopter it seems. Looks to be in very good nick, is that the original finish? I'd go for £70-90 at a guess.

    Hi yes it's all original finish couple of small patches of wear to the blueing and the finish to the stock feels a bit dry in places,is it possible to get hold of the diopter sight,would look nice next to my osprey supertarget.

    Thanks again all Keith

    You do ocassionally find the diopters, Protek supplies had one some months back (sold now) and I found one with another gun some time back I think Milbro called it the G31, if my memory serves correctly.
