Bonfire Boinger Bash ?

[TonyL]

Hooray I'm no longer gunless

Thank you freeads

And my cheque is en-route missed saturdays post but my good lady sent today

Are the shooting points under cover? If we have anything like the last few days weather.
I might have to stock up on the 3 in 1 don't want my new (2nd hand) boinger going rusty

Oh, come on, you can't do that! Keeping us all in suspenders!

So what did you settle on matey?

And yes, the tarpaulin clad polytunnel that Mick erected so generously is HUGE. So, loads of room under cover and no need to worry over your new pride and joy getting damp.

Now back with a Diana 280k this is my 4th one

I need a barrel weight or silencer though to add as a cocking aid to fit onto the 1/2" threaded barrel as I forgot how short the hernia inducing 280k barrel is

It currently cocks like a pumped up fenman but shoots lovely at just over 11ft

[Blackbaronfish]

Is it all sub 12

BBF

[TonyL]

I believe so, BBF and I'm sure Mick'll be along to confirm.

Nice one Matey.

.22 I assume?

[oldskoolzzz]

Oh yes man size .22 the .177 really would of given me a hernia

[TonyL]

That's what I was thinking and I remembered your comments from the other week when you'd seen the Express and said you'd have been really tempted had it been a big 'un!

Love the feel and balance of the 280.

I had a go with a couple of fettled ones at the very first Bash, belonging to Bigtoe and WonkyDonky. Lovely.

Is it standard or played with matey?

[TonyL]

Er yes, before I log off, just wondering if any kind, benevolent BUT CHEEKY person out there would kindly like to own up yet?

[Rickenbacker]

Mmm, Diana... the thinking man's rifle of choice

Exactly! Don't let the price and quality put you off!

Oi, I like liking Dianas... I'd have "Diana" as my sig, except for looking like a princess.

That's LUSH that is. Like an English 1970s muscle car!

Steady on, lad. I was very nearly chundering when I saw that!

When I started in the car trade as a young lad, on my first day the boss told me that my new demo wasn't ready quite yet and would I mind running this two-tone brown and beige Princess?



























As I only lived about a fifteen minutes walk away, I opted to walk!

AFAIK it's standard it shoots well though and certainly shoots as nice as a recent SFS tuned one I owned

No twang but locktime is really quick seems snappy but not as harsh snappy as a .177

I do like the weight and balance and a very elegant looking rifle.
ok there not that en-vogue and can be much improved (just like most springers) but that's what appeals to me as there a break from the norm

With the hernia inducing cocking stroke and the snappy characteristics it's far from a little princess
