Ahh poop.
So knowing what I am hoping to do with my air rifle (should I manage to get my hands on one), do you think your friend's TX200 is the sort of thing I should look at? And in the Diana range 340NP vs 34EMS for a similar price. What's so different about them to bother having the seemingly similar two, at around the same price-point? I guess I mean to ask, which would be more suitable for me? Edited by R0b0tMaf1a - 7 hours 50 minutes ago at 4:10pm |

Oops, I need to remove that listing as well, that gun was sold a wee while back. They are bloody heavy so probably wouldn't have suited anyway. Please don't assume I'm an expert on this subject matter, I'm just a retired guy relatively new to the sport who is prepared to express an opinion and keen to add dialogue to this forum which does tend go a bit quiet at times. That said, the 340 is a gas-ram type and the 34 a standard springer. Both have the T06 two-stage trigger which I would rate as equal to the Weihrauch Rekord trigger, but a little more tricky to set up. Once done, it's brilliant. I'd suggest the 34 with synthetic stock over the other for what you've said you want to do. I know Kruza has a Diana AR8 which he seems to like, perhaps he'll chip in with his thoughts.

Ar8 has won me over. Its way more accurate than i expected.its well made. Trigger i haven't touched as its awsome.
Shoulders well. I don't find it too heavy. Cocking is easy. Fps spread is excellent. The only issue has been the back stock screw which comes loose despite lock tight. I don't consider either the tx or hw97 as practical hunting gun. Nor do i find it less accurate hunting. Target i think diana would lose our over distance. But not by much. I think a sig asp20 would be a better choice for hunting than either the tx or hw97 and not quite as good as the diana for long range but comparable. Also a gas ram. |
