Diana AR8 or 350 Mag

If there is anyone out there looking to sell either of these two choices that they'd part with? I'm a willing buyer at a price that reflects my Dutch Mum and Scots Dad, or whatever we agree is reasonable.  Obviously, with my genetics, it would need to be less than sixpence, preferably. 

Good grief. You can tell by the way it was written that the $2000 wasn't a serious thing. Tounge in cheek. Flowed nicely with the parents nationality and by it for a dime thing.
I agree they may not be the best quality for price, but fact of matter is people can shoot them and shoot them very well.
If the gun is doing what it should do and grouping well why does it matter.
You gamo haters need to get off your high horses. Probly haven't even shot one in years to know how they preform.
Stop rubbishing peoples guns for not being up to your your standard.
If they are that bad how did they get so big, brought out bsa.
If it will shut you up im happy to see if i can borrow one and topple a can at a 100m. As for the parts that wear they are replacable and a dam sight easier to get and replace than most brands.

That be the tuned, custom stocked probly purposely made lower powered target tuned rifles.
You know the sort you don't see them taking hunting because they are set up for high level target shooting.
Tx beautiful gun.. heavy as to carry around hunting for extend periods.
Sig asp20 awsome gun, would definitly get one .22. bit heavy but nothing like tx.
Wiehrach hw97 blackline. Lets see, started loosing bluing in a couple of weeks of use. Shattered spring which when pulled apart,had no bottom guide or a slip washer. Tbt tuning kit cured that. Bottom guide and slip washer standard in some gamo models. Grease sitting in blob in trigger unit where it was doing nothing at all. White crystalized substance on sears. Seal on receiver just gave up holding in place for no reason. Got a couple sent from overseas. Not the sort of thing i expected from top quality rifle. Brand new from factory. Once sorted all this was sweet rifle.
Diana friggin awsome but really bit to early tell how holds up over time.
Ill get another gamo at some stage now ive actually owned and shot a few higher grade rifles. Bit of careful choosing model, maybe a tbt tune kit and it will hunt fine.
That what gamo makes plinkers and hunters back yard target shooters.
They also inovate in springers ten shot mags. That tech is only going to get better and better.
Pellets do sux in genral no argument but a couple are ok. I don't waste time with them.
I wont blanket rubbish a brand. Every brand has good and bad guns. Gamo may have more rubbish models than most but they haves some pretty usable ones too.

Older or high-end Gamo models tend to feature full-metal breech blocks, while mid-to-lower-range break-barrels frequently use the plastic-coated/polymer block design.
So what about there steel design does that pass the grade? Or do we now ignore that and focus on the low end models to rubbish the whole range?
From personal experience wiehrach hw97 original spring set up
( Or am i not allowed to say that because it's wiehrach)
Like say every brand has its good and bad models.

Im suprised at the diana tr6. Would be of the same opinion. However think that comment would have more impact from you due to your experience and knowledge.
Unfortunately popularity will end up increasing the price as more ppl get onto them.
You got any plans to take advantage of its "modular system"? Barrel swapping and piston etc

Thanks for mentioning a gamo that shoots well.
Nice to see some non negative responce, from an experienced shooter.
Beside mercs that is.
