SFS Diana Mod 34 preview

[clarky]

I put my 34 Premium on the scales recently and it pulled 7lbs 13oz: a bit over the stated weight. Yet, it feels perfect in the hand and balance is very good. The barrel length seems fine, possibly due to the longer fore-end of the stock. I think the 34 is a better gun than the 280 in .177 but in .22 they are closer (both in standard form). The .22 34 does have a slightly under-sprung, easy going feel- not to the extent of an HW80 but along those lines. The .177 feels different- quicker, sharper in response but not harsh. No twang from mine either. Accuracy is as good as I hoped and better than I expected out of the box. A .177 34 and a .22 280 would make a good pairing and the shooter would gel with both and switch between the two easily.
The SFS 34 appears to perform very, very well in the video. I too hope that CS will offer stocks for the 34 at some point.

I have just seen the Premium version of the 34 ....its stunning...you wont see a better looking sporter ..
I have decided to invest in one ....going .177 and will delrin guide rod it out.
Barrel cropping ....may do ...varminter style but will keep as is until sure.

Me three! I would keep mine if I could replace the stock with something less awful.

Sportwaffen Schneider had some old Model 36 stocks which in theory should fit or be made to fit. Maybe not in the class of CS' walnut but definitely less awful than synthetic.

Listened very carefully to the video and could not detect a 'twang'....
Looks good at a reasonable price.
Cheers, Phil

I expect Gary Cane would make you one.
