Diana 60 and 65, what are the differences?

[Garvin]

Cheers Garvin,

Are the diopters the same? Would Diana still sell them?

Thanks
Alex
PS you have been selling some top condition old rifles recently. Have been admiring them greatly

Cheers Alex. It's been painful letting some of my most prized items go, but needs must. Moving to a smaller place involves sacrifices...

I think the diopter on the mod 60 was a rather heavier steel framed sight whereas the mod 65 had the lighter alloy model also used on the 75. It may just be that the examples of the 65/66 that I've seen had later pattern sights fitted, or that there was a transitional period between the two styles. In any event, they are interchangeable.* I doubt if Diana still sell them but they still come up on eGun very frequently - and it's easy to have them sent over.
