Sandwell tuned Diana 280K

[Ninapuppy]

Thanks for your interesting post.

I've always fancied one of those little Dianas.

You didn't mention the calibre but I assume it was 177.

.22 , just my normal calibre

Thanks.

Probably the wisest choice for a light weight springer.

Had exactly the same gun some time back and had it tuned by Sandwell and your right it was cracking. If your planning shooting a bit further I would reccomend rws superfield.

Nice review, I am a big fan of Sandwell Tuneing myself, love my Banshee2 in .177 and my Vulcan 2 in .22, Tony Wall dose know His stuff, respect to him and Sandwell, enjoy the work of a master.

Yes shooting well and should get better as it runs in

Very good review certainly echos many of my own personal findings

I've recently returned to the Diana 280k and have previously owned a few of them now

I'm pretty sure mine isn't tuned in any way but it actually shoots like a semi tuned gun

I purchased it second hand but the old boy who had it before me said he had done nothing to it under his ownership and it is as standard as when he bought it new.

Possibly it's just really nicely run in

I've always felt there is a litte gem present with these 280's but it does seem others that have tried them do have very mixed opinions.

My only gripe is people who have no experience of actualy owning one who feel qualified to pass judgement

Reminds me of the HW99's many years ago it was slated and always overlooked as being the weak link in the HW armoury how times have changed probably now one of the most popular HW's around

I had my hw 77k 2nd tuned ay Sandwell sports I can't tell you how pleased I am with tony walls work. Tony told me the best pellets to use were AA field and RWS super domed. He sat with me for a good 30 mins on his range up stairs in his shop teaching how use the trigger and how to get the best from my rifle. My hw 77 shoots pellet through pellet at 25y. I would encourage anyone to get their rifle tuned at Sandwell sports Sometime I think why I have a PCP
