Bought this almost purely based on this review and my god is it worth the hype. Been able to hit 12 oz cans reliably at 75 yards with it. I tend to use a scope, but on the right days when the air is still it's immediately obvious just how consistent this rifle really is. I can reliably put shots into the same hole at 50 yards even with a bit of wind. This rifle looks GORGEOUS, feels great in the hand, and in the 26 foot-pound variant I've got here in the USA, it hits like a freight train. It's whisper quiet, so quiet that many have been surprised to see just how hard this thing can hit because the noise is so heavily suppressed that you strain to hear it fire from about 20 yards. I've seen some pellets fired from this rifle go clean through 1/2 inch thick wooden planks and still hit a soda can so hard that it nearly severs the top and bottom of the can. The power and accuracy if this thing have damn near ruined my interest in other replica airguns - Diana would do well to launch a line of PCP replicas - an M1 Garand or Lee Enfield in this style would be incredible.
Perhaps it might seem odd to the majority of TH-cam users, but I would like to take the opportunity to thank you, Sir. Your videos provide a great help to me concerning my purchase decision. Again, Thank you Sir! Best wishes from Germany, Oooh No!
I have the .22. Here in the states I’m getting 31fpe using H&N 21gr slugs. I absolutely love this rifle! I love my WW2 history and this is a very nice replica. Of course it’s not a 100% replica, but I’m extremely happy about it. Diana needs to chamber one in .25. I’d love to see a whole line of WW2 replica guns in pcp. Garand, Arisaka, Mosin, Enfield, 1903 Springfield..
I thought it was just a gimmick kind of thing, but with that power and accuracy that's an actual useful gun for pest control and anything else people use airguns for :O
@Pete graham You think breathing air is a privilege lol? Granted by the government right? You must of loved the Nazi party. But anyway, airguns are NOT illegal, require no license and thus not a privilege.
It is nice to see a manufacturer actually take into consideration the restrictive UK market and produce a firearm that has great function and authentic aesthetics.
If only more replicas were pcp and pellet pushing, the best of both worlds, nice to see something accurate and in a classic guise. I'm waiting for the 177 pcp AK47 now( fully auto would be nice!! )
Iv got the under lever version and while it does lack a bit of authenticity, it's a fave of mine. Hits hard and exactly where you point it. Open sights work properly and she cracks like a whip.
@@jimmibram hi mate. I got rid of mine a while ago, put it towards a TX200. But my k98 had sights that were adjustable in both directions as I remember that mine shot miles to the left as well, very strange 🤔 But I was able to correct it with the sight moved right over. I don't know what you can do to fix that if the PCP version doesn't have them. Maybe check on the airgun forums and see if there's an aftermarket part you can use. Good luck 👍
Hi Andy , great review today . i love this rifle . And as you say has a dual role ....... i think the price is great .... thank you Andy ...... cheers Simon from York
As it is a Stormrider in its nature it could be turned into regulated pneumatic (the original is unregulated) by installing a regulator (around 90 €). This will reduce amount of shots but it will give it some match degree, but it is still a hobby rifle (Freizeitgewehr).
Another perfect review. A rifle I've admired since childhood. Had the chance to fire the Lee Enfield 303 . As an air cadet. Maybe in the future I'll be the owner of a Mauser. Beautiful ornament for the wall , when not in use. Thank you Andy. Glad you're well and hope the same for family. From Richard Leeds West Yorkshire.
Bought this from Vector Air recently, based on your great reviews. Its so much fun. Guys at VA were beyond brilliant at advising me and supporting me to get the whole shooting package.
being one of those picki types when it comes to replicas ,i was very surprised by this offering from Diana and represents great value to boot! i found a nice 60s scope , that has a single bar vertical and spaced horizontal bar with a target gap between which is an approx replica issued in ww2. ..i dont use the mag as i like the deliberate load and shoot of target shooting also less worry regarding height of scope clamps to avoid fouling the mag... as andy points out for a .177 its remarkably quiet for a full power pcp great for keeping neighbours happy.
Hi Andy nice to see a really useable replica air gun,have to take my (tin) hat off to those guys at Diana and at that price it’s going to be another one to add to my collection…
Got mine back in April. Absolutely love it. I have shot pellets and slugs with great accuracy. The inexpensive Crosman 14.3gr HP have shot great. NSA 17.5gr slugs and H&N 21gr slugs shot amazing as well. Already have taken groundhog around the farm with my K98 and all three of those rounds. Just put high mounts on a scoped it. Going to try H&N rabbit magnum power rounds next. If you’re looking for a great entry level pcp for small game and love WW2 stuff, then this air gun is a no brainer!
Update on my comment. My K98 .22 absolutely loves the H&N rabbit magnum rounds and they hit with authority! Accuracy falls off after 30 yards, but 30 yards and in these rounds are the hardest hitting in my k98.
The Sentinel X is absolutely amazing and has become my favorite even though I have a Titan and other more expensive scopes!!! OH I absolutely enjoyed the Mauser presentation.
Just placed my order at cheshire Gun Rooms. I've been undecided on what i wanted. I didn't want a pcp rifle that resembled a pool cue strapped to a divers tank. I was after something relatively accurate and stylish but not a fashion fad item. This looks fantastic, and with a small air tank, should be easier with a stirrup pump, but still have enough shots to last a session at the range. I can't wait to get my hands on it. Thanks Andy, you've helped me make my mind up after weeks of looking around.
@@Anaesthetist98 I found the rifle to be consistently accurate at 20yds, as that was my local range had. It feels solid, works well and looks great. As for the hand pump, it is do-able, but not ideal. I havent used it for a few months, and its still got the same air in that i left it with so no signs of leakage. Its great fun to use, and looks like the real deal.
@@Anaesthetist98 I put a scope on, but not a retro era kind of thing. More to suite my eye sight basically. I am sure you can get one suited to the period looks though.
I looked for mauser reviews and the version with no bolt action was no good so im glad to see a bolt. I thought the mauser was made much earlier than 35
That's suprisingly accurate for a modern day SPAdiana. I've got three of their barrels that I cannot achieve those results with. It could of course be me. I like the look of this.
Thanks for yet another great review. Same unbiased commentary. Seems very accurate, would have been interesting to see how good it was using the open sites. Thanks again. Regards price, I’ve seen replica AKs with a difference of around £80-90 depending on if you want faux wood or the real McCoy. 👍
I'm on the fence with this one. It doesn't seem to have the realism I like when buying a period gun like this. It kind of looks like a toy to me. I'd have to stain it a bit darker and then scuff up the wood and metal to a field used appearance. Excellent review as always, Andy.
Get a real one or shut it. There HAS to be some compromises otherwise it would be a 1200+ dollar practically fully custom air rifle. Its just not practical, I like it really. Or you can always get the basically toys that look like a replica and all you can do is plink with it, won't kill anything except maybe a mouse at 10m.
It's a really cool K98 replica, the only thing I don't like is the fact that it has silencer features because the K98 had a very destinctive loud noise that I would've loved if they had brought that to the PCP version, i know air rifles aren't really loud like a powder burner but I'm still a bit disappointed that they tried to incorporate silencing feature to the barrel. The other thing I don't like about it is how much the magazine sticks out, I wish and hope that one day we can have "regular" magazine fed action rather than the circular types of PCP magazines that is favored by manufacturers, i know the magazine design is due to technical practicability i am also aware that this particular rifle used clips, but regardless I'd love a PCP rifle with a more classic magazine design that we know from powder burners
a none-rotary magazine would require a mechanism for indexing each shot without deforming the lead pellet, the only non-rotary magazines iv seen used is a chain-link system or a stick magazine you have to index yourself by sliding it sideways, it would be possible to make such a gun use dummy rounds each containing a pellet but the simplest method is usually the best specially when it come to a pcp that uses 20+ftlb in none restrictive countries.
Wow, I was genuinely surprised by the price of this one. I actually thought it would be more expensive, but is about the same price as the Norinco Model Mini Mauser 33/40 22LR - but doesn't need a FAC, a .22LR slot on that FAC and can be used in the garden. I would love to see an Enfield No4 version but I must admit, I am considering this one.
Nice review and nice rifle, but my issue in the UK is not just with this rifle but air rifles in general. This product is £420 rrp but in USA being sold for $375 (£275 approx).So why so expensive in UK ?
Before Dunblain I used to own a Mauser rifle. Brilliant to use, the stock number was 00037 and fired a 7.92 round. I had to ship my ammunition in from Argentina.
@daibhidhSCO just got rid of my whole collection. Semi-autos, revovlers. I felt that all the authorities needed was an xcuse and brought the pressure on. Its a new world of armourments now. Gunpowder is becoming a thing of the past...
Thank you andy been waiting for this long time it's a beautiful air rifle it may not be a competition target air rifle but if you see the history of the real k98 k can you imaging what the shooting range would they say to you when they see the k98 air rifle at a distance more likely scare them thinking that it is a real rifle
BTW GSG/RWS/Diana should think about it, this one is their old good Stormrider platform in styled stock. I believe it should not be a huge deal to put it in other stocks as well.
It looks a bit like one of the budget Japan made for BSA scopes from back in the '60s. German scopes tended to be a lot shorter like the ZF41. There are repro ones about but I don't know if the mount is going to fit the Diana.
@@jambutty2218 To me? Not now, I don't shoot anymore, I was just trying to add some handy info for the original comment. ZF41 scopes are short and may require some 'L' shaped mounts to span the loading port, or be mounted behind it but then you may not have enough eye relief. No doubt there is someone with the tools and ability to do this though! I'd just be a Fudd and use iron sights. . . .
i really need to move to a different country ,, airguns are legal here aslong as they don't look to realistic,, so my fav real rifle as a PcP and the dutch gov goes " oh no scary! "
Andy Loving your reviews mate! I've bought one of these in .22 but cannot find a retro style scope. What is the scope you have on the gun in this video? I checked your website for Sentinel X 1040 x 50 but it doesn't look the same? Please can you advise? Cheers!!
I wish they would have put the rear sight somewhere close to the original version. My bandit has almost more distance between the rear and front sight then this thing. This looks so terrible that I wouldn't want one for free.
