I see the gun city website is listing a second hand Diana52 in .177 for $699.
Now thats a good price for an amazing German made side lever! |

Is that the .25? Pricey but nice German guns. And when you think the HW97 is $1500+ and the TX200 probably more, it’s not so bad.. |

I see there is a nice looking Diana 52 for sale in Hamilton.
Bit over priced, but looks like it’s in good condition. |

I've had one of these. Don't fire if you have dentures, or intact fingers. I opted to sell it.

That would be a wise choice. I hear the new stock of Air Arms TX200s are in the country and dont be surprised if the price starts with $2xxx... Im not sure if thats the standard or the new "ultimate springer" version... |

I have a very old one of these. I can tell you they are solid and chunky when cocking. the barrel is cheap has a primitive trigger safety. The biggest problem with them is when loading the pellet they tend to fall out if you are not careful and when you close the breach you end up squashing the pellet and then it will dry fire. so you have to load the gun with barrel facing to the ground at all times. Do not expect to get speeds faster than 500fps with 8.4gr pellets. It does shoot straight and accurate out to 30 meters.

affectionately nicknamed "Chinese Finger Choppers" - take note of the cocking method in the link above. The asking price makes it a cheap gun, but its still on the upper end of what they are worth. Might be ok for a bit of fun or a project rifle, but dont expect great things from it... |

Can anyone shed any light on the make and model of this air rifle?
Side lever… Are they any good?
