I think covers the cheap Diana's other than the rebadged Chinese ones.

That article was 4 years ago, has production changed since then ? I don't think Diana would be in any rush to tell us.

The trouble with controversial threads of the type you have mentioned is that there is often not a "correct" answer, but it's down to personal preference or taste - or lack of it if your on the other side of the debate

I don't mind the discussion - until the other people start telling you your wrong just because they are not articulate enough to provide a convincingly suitable and persuasive argument for their point of view, then I just switch off because they are clearly morons or trying to get a rise out of me.

I like the ones where ordinary decent people point out that those who keep dogs as pets and think the dog “loves” them actually have a problem relating to their fellow humans, and are basically psychopaths

And then all the doggy lovers go ape shoot

And cat shooting threads.

Basically “I love cats and people who shoot them are vile” (me) against “you shouldn’t shoot them but actually cats are evil and I hate them”.

I don't controversy, spud guns are cruelty to spuds

If you show proof of your statements then that should stop the arguing but to some they don't want to believe it and keep saying the proof is not real when there is loads of proof to say it is real.

I guess some don't like the truth or just like to think they are right even when the facts tell them they are wrong .

if I can be proved wrong I accept it and move on .

American controlled root radius, not a new invention, just a re-hash of the Whitworth thread form.

Typical.

They'll be telling us they captured the Enigma encoder next.

Just wondering what you make of Diana's latest web site where they state what guns are made in Germany, what guns are assembled in Germany and what guns are designed in Germany, would that come under trade description law if it was wrong.

Barry, as much as I like my Diana's, I think many manufacturers these days don't mind inserting their German connection to capitalise on it, (the word Germany appears under each of those pics) but then it's down to the reader's literary skills to see through each printed assertion for what it really is. It's a sad fact of modern life.

Germanic sounding names on what are obviously Far Eastern manufactured tools spring to mind. Cheap scopes with German names are another.....and so on.

Very well said James

[I. J.]

I don't controversy, spud guns are cruelty to spuds

In this hot weather my spuds are sweaty.

[Scott.]

I ike the ones that start off with somebody asking gun advice in a set price range and somebody offers a more expensive option like an FX or Daystate
Then the FX or Daystate gets slandered and it devolves into a riotous pisstake of calibre and my gun is better than yours

Sometimes (but not often) the trolls stay out of it and those are the best threads with no malice or insults

My favourite piece of advice is when somebody is told to save more money for a better gun,, that's just cruel,,
its good advice mind but Id imagine it might be pretty crushing for somebody who has saved hard for a gun they like

[pumpygun]

The Internet snipers who take bunnies and pigeon out at ridiculously long ranges then when someone asks them to meet up to back up their claims or to try target sport like hft they hit the roof
