    Yes! Yes there is. See the HW99 vs Diana 280 thread, and then buy a diana 31!

    Thumbs up

    The 95 isn't too bad either weightwise

    EDIT- Just looked up the weight- 6.8Lbs so probably around 8lbs with a scope fitted

    I am sure that HW 99 will fit the bill.

    Does the Mod 34 have the same 'guts' as the Mod 31?

    Because the Diana 34 Premium has a posh wooded stock, and is only £50 more than a plastic 31 Panzer.

    why not an SuperSport?

    i own 5 Diana 34s all tuned by me from 11.3ftlb to 17.3ftlb and are great guns but for a light very accurate break barrel my 1986 BSA supersport Magnum in .22 comes to mind first. although the trigger does need some work but can be made into a very good hunting trigger!!! But then i have never any body call it a match trigger ether.
    Aint no fun when the rabbits got the gun

    Walther Terrus is light, accurate, scopeable and as beautiful as my HW95 and Diana 34 Pro Meistershutz. The trigger has too stiff a spring. I haven't changed it yet.

    I have one of the older 95's - with the muzzle weight - and its one of the most accurate air rifles I own.
    It was great before I short stoked it, however Mr Tinbum's piston extensions has taken it to a different level.

    There you go.

    So the answer is, "Yes, there is".

    I'd maybe give a certain rifle mentioned in post 8 a miss, though.

    What's an FT Bullpup PCP man looking to do with a lightweight springer. Spot of pesting?

    ... and where have you been for the last couple of years?

    After all the worshiping of the 99 on here, someone coming on and asking if there's a lightweight and accurate break barrel with a decent trigger and scope rails, is like someone casually appearing 2 minutes after the crucifixion and asking ... " Anyone know anyone who does miracles ? ".

    Yes the 31/34/36/38/and new type 45 have had the same action for about 30 years, but with different trigger's and pistons
    For about two years during the T05 period the 34 and 350 had foreign 12 land barrels.

    Give me strength, not another "which German rifle do I choose" thread.

    What about a nice Theoben or a lovely BSA Mercury or dare I even say it, an early Brum Supersport.

    Even a Webley comes to mind.

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
