Can somebody give me a price guide on my RWS 52 please?

£200 sounds about right. I think I paid £140 about six or seven years ago for a late 80s one in OK, though definitely used, condition.

They are just not that well known, or therefore popular. They are also big and a bit of an acquired taste. A shame because they are a bloody good rifle, with no obvious sidelever competitors.

A D48/52 is what you’d get if you crossed an HW80 with an HW77 and stuck the cocking lever on the side. That’s not a bad idea, and explains why, at full power (and sensible prices) they were so popular in the US for around 25 years.

Diana list prices in the U.K from the mid-2000s were nonsense dreamed up by idiots.

I wonder what the secondhand D48/52 prices are like state side ? I know there new prices have always been a lot keener than the UK.

The new price for a Diana48 shows how UK buyers are getting shafted price wise.





All the best Mick

Pyramid have them (RWS branded) at $449 - £326, new.

Until recently, the U.K. RRP was north of £500.

Pellpax currently offer them at £399. Could do worse. Except you could buy two good second-hand ones for that, or less.

Interesting to note that the FWB sport is cheaper than the HW98
