Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
Don't forget the reason for the long cylinder its supposed to be the world's most powerful fixed barrel underlever springer that is also the reason for the robust lever, in the US some crank up the cocking effort to over 50 lbs, In the UK its about 15 lbs with a solid wobble free lever
You could call it the light weight slim jim look at just over 8 lbs
The 430 is more compact and even lighter still but some smaller shooters say its to much cocking effort.
I like the way we shooters have different preferences otherwise what we talk about
Yep, based on looks and handling, the 280 is far nicer, in my opinion, than the Diana underlevers.

280 all day long for me. I use my Diana's with sportsmatch low mounts which helps a lot with cheek weld. My 280 has a sabre optics 4x32 from JSR. The supplied one piece mount is fairly low too and the scope matches the gun well.

Not at all, Pete. I like the 280. Although not desperate to own one, I could see one joining the rest of the boingery toys one day, when budget allows.
