Diana 48

[kidneyboy]

I bought a used .22cal from a friend about a month ago. Not sure how old it is but he thinks it's well over a decade. Have taken it out twice now and once I got the hold right it is pretty accurate and a lot of fun to shoot.
Here is the target from range trip 2. The 10 meter shots were off of a front bag. 50ft was standing and 60ft was off the front bag again.
Will be trying this out on squirrels next trip up north.

Nice target. Where is the equally nice rifle? Is it like this one:

It has some pretty nice reviews. I find it fun to shoot my air rifle in the back yard.

First one on the left and it is just like that one.

48 is a heavy air rifle, built like a tank, I have a Chinese copy B21 in 177, sweet adjustable trigger, shoots very well but it is heavy, even to bring it out from the basement gun rack to the back yard, I take it out only for serious shooting. The magnum power double recoil broke a scope many years ago.

Diana 48 is a classic. Beautiful rifle for sure. I have the Diana Mdl 34 which I had custom tuned and also a Diana mode 460 magnum Under lever 22.cal.I actually had that gun detuned. Tuned down for easier cocking and smoother shooting. Felt like I was jacking up a house when shooting it. But man could that gun send a pellet down range.

Congrats on the Diana. You got a good one!

I was talking to one of my brothers about this and neither of us can remember a time when we didn't have a BB or pellet gun. That's from when we were kids till now.
