    Bit of a dilemma ...

    I have a RWS Diana mod 45 in 22cal.
    I guess its an old rifle, stamped Made in West Germany .
    I've had it 10 years, but only shoot it a few times a year .
    I obtained it from an old mate in Wales .
    Metal work is pristine, stock has a mark/scratch on it .
    I've never had my fingers inside it, shoots awesome, and has a brilliant trigger .
    My favourite rifle is my Norica Dragon , yes, I know you can't compare the quality .
    But the light weight and easy cocking of the Norica , means this old OAP doesn't strain too much in an afternoon plinking session .
    Besides the Norica has a scope fitted, but my old eyes struggle with the superb iron sights on the RWS/Diana.

    Is there anyone on here who has a holiday home out here in Spain who'd fancy this, or do I get it chrono'd before taking it back to UK ?
    If it's within UK spec, I'm sure some one in UK would love to buy it.
    I was told by many old mates in UK that the old "Original Mod 45" was a trifle warm on the power scale.

    Oh well, managed to throw 50 Air Arms pellets at my targets today .

    Postpone plans until next year I guess .

    Spain has a higher power limit than the UK. I believe 18ftlbs from memory.

    Whereabouts are you? I'll be out there soon and can pack a chrono if you're anywhere near.

    I've just looked, you're about half an hour from me. PM me if you want to sort something.

    Hi Dave , I have a chrono , just haven't taken the rifle and chrono out at the same time .

    Very kind of you to offer.

    Yes, we have a higher power limit than UK here .

    But the law forbids the use of air rifle on any living creature .

    Sadly several feral pigeons have all died of shock, when seeing me plinking away !!

    I am in Jacarilla, where are you based ?
