diana L8 magnum

[ZaksGod]

i have just bought one with some sort of red dot sight on it.can not wait to get up the club tonight and have a go with it.has anyone else got one and what do they think of it,cheers

[ZaksGod]

well i had a go with the gun today and i must say i am impressed.i checked the power and it makes 5.75ft/lbs not bad.it shoots very well once you get used to the jump.i managed to hit the bird knockdown that we have at 40yards(roughly 1 in every 4 attempts) and consistantly hit spinners(40cm dia)at 25 yards.as all hw,s it is very well made if a little heavy but it is so much fun.i would recommend this gun to anyone who likes shooting pistols

Is it like the mod 5?

Diana LP 8 Magnum

I quite like the look of the Diana pistols, I prefer the P5 though.

Another to add to the list

Hey, that's not a pistol, it's a rifle with a missing stock!

Thats a lot of money for a spring pistol .

[ZaksGod]

that does include the red dot which is £49.gun only should be about £225

i have to say the more i shoot this pistol the more impressed i am with it.today i tried the pistol at 50yards.it was in fact very good and did not miss my target by much.we have a cow bell and i managed to hit that half a dozen times standing.i did not try it off a rest,i will try that next week.i only had to aim about 3-4 inches high to be somewhere near.my hw 45 had a go and i hit the target 4 times(not bad)but it being .22 i had to aim about a foot high

What mechanical differences are there between the l8 & the p5 ?
