Diana prices

[Barryg]

Finally, the 460 sold to undercut the (better) HW77. That is how it used to be, and should be, if Diana is ever going to recoup the market share it had here in the 80s/90s as a sort of German price/quality equivalent of BSA (before BSA went totally Gamo).

If you are comparing a 460 with a 77 I dont think you know what a 460 is the 460 is a lightweight FAC magnum plus that can shoot over 20 ft/lbs very accurately better than it can in the 12 ft/lbs version, the price is interesting at £280 as the average price is around £450 elsewhere, I wonder if it is the right price.

I do know, actually. As you say the 460 is a magnum 20 ft/lbs gun that must be worse de-tuned to 11 ft/lbs than the 77, which is a 14-15 ft/lbs gun that can perform very well at 11-12.

As I have said before on here, I really like Dianas (current inventory includes models 5, 5G, 6G, 6M, 10, 24, 25, 26, 27S, 34, 35, 35, 36, 45, 50, 52, 66), I am just - in my view - realistic about their many strengths, but also their weaknesses.

I still think the 460 is better than the HW in its class also a more modern robust design
But the £280 one advertised looks like it has a cheap looking stock fitted I wonder if that is why it's so cheap, the early stocks were noted for their looks.
