    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.
