- I’ve been reviewing airguns since 2006. At some point you start thinking there’s nothing really “new” out there. The Diana Chaser certainly impressed me. Not because it’s not been done before, but I don’t remember it being done this well and at this price point. The Diana Chaser Combo is a great CO2 pistol, Carbine, and Fully Suppressed Rifle. What’s more is that it’s wonderful to shoot and has great accuracy. This one is a keeper!
Man it’s a great time to be an airgunner!!!

This platform is much better when purchased in the UK. It comes in black like the one in the video, but also Realtree camo pattern. The silencer is removable too so you can put it on the shorter pistol barrel. I keep mine in a carbine configuration with the pistol barrel and stock fitted. The .22 version does around 5.5 ft.lbs. with the pistol barrel and between 8-9 ft lbs. with the rifle barrel. I've taken wood pigeons with head shots at 25 yds with this with the short barrel alone! An awesome package.
not sure, but the pistol barrel is threaded, i think they use some sort of thread lock in the silencer and rifle barrel in the US. i'll wait a little to see if they'll sell the silencer separately, if they do, i'll get the .177 pistol, then have both .177 and .22 barrels, might have to get a .22 bolt assembly, can't be too much.
@@mrbadx19 it's not mentioned in the video, but the moderator can be removed from the rifle barrel and screwed onto the pistol barrel, but it requires some set up and strength, because of loctite holding it.
this is a truly brilliant little field gun. can easily be dismantled and put in a backpack for trekking to catch dinner. Super light, accurate and real fun to shoot.
Of all my airguns, this one is the most pleasurable to shoot. I put a red dot sight on it. Even a youngster can shoot it well right out of the box.
My 177 denting aluminium sheet at 45 yards in my garden, I love this little gun.
shoots amazingly well in .22 with GTO 11.75 gr pellets!
Just pick one of these up in .22 after shooting my brothers. absolutely amazing little guns. I might grab it in .177 later if I still like it then as much as I do now.
Hey Clint, I am trying to decide on the Chaser or the Airbug and also in the .177 or .22. Actually, I like both and like the Rifle Kit on the Chaser. Both are 129.00
Have you ever shot the Airbug and what do u recommend ?
Have you done any Mods on the Chaser?
I appreciate any Info.
Take Care

I just purchased this gun today! It's my 4th airgun. For $143 you certainly get a lot for your money. I bought the .22 cal and went through 4 air cartridges. Lots of fun!! I also purchased a 7 round magazine as well. In pistol mode it's a little loud but as a rifle the suppressor is VERY quiet.
I just received the Diana chaser kit I first used iron sights and I could. Hit right were I aimed but I tried the rifle but you can't see the sits the stock is to short so I installed the red dot sit well off hand after sitting in the site I really hit the target then I put on the stock I shot a 10 shot group won after an other in a dime size I am berry happy with this combo Tom Hartill
Your channel is by far the best airgun review channel. You show everything the buyer wants to know and explain all the bugs of each gun, and tricks on how to fix them. I know it must take a long time and a lotta work making these, so just wanted to say appreciated!
I have one, so far I really love it. Haven't put it thru the mill yet.
Bro Brah yes!! I like it setup that way and keeping the shoulder stock on. Bad ass pistol like that
Great rifle/pistol with more than 500 FPS,..WOW, that's cool! Thanks for this one Rick,..I'm going to go look for this one.
I've had my .177 for 2 weeks. already considering a second one.
That's pretty much what I did PTNA, I have the chaser .177 kit and a .22 Bandit and a .22 stormrider barrell, I ordered a. 177 stormrider barrell and a. 22 chaser just the pistol. No more bolt swapping to switch cals.. lol
Nice video - and gun!
Incredibly affordable, or at least in the US. :D
Had to watch the PA Insyder video of this one also.
Had many nice features. But the conversion was not that easy. Tools needed and all. Not really like the UX Morph 3X. But truly a nice and sweet target airgun.
Probably good to assembly your own preferred rifle combo with desired optics, and after that get a case that suits it and pad it according to your own requirements.
This one performed really nice. 45-60 shots depending on setup and ammo.
Meisterkugelns seem to be a good choice for this one (even they were a bad choice for the Sig Sauer MCX/MPX magazine system.). Always liked quality RWS pellets.
The co2 loading, with a built-in tool for it, was sweet. And the space in the grip for an extra capsule - great!
Awesome video Rick! Thank you! :)
Whether you hunt .177 or .22 is very much personal preference and greek parliament. The 22 hits harder, the 177 flies flatter. As long rifle both can and are used for rabbits, and both can hit head shots out to 50m. Maximum "hit a target" range probably over 100m but you'll be lobbing shots. Long rifle is looking at 8.5ft-lb and it can shoot that far and hunt small game.
Personally I don't hunt anything other than rats but this is a rural area and I know people who go rabbiting, and there are a lot of rabbits here. I've been shooting for, lemme think, 50 years. You need accuracy not an elephant gun, and the pellet needs to stop in the bunny not go clean through.
it would be nice to finally get it I have been on backorder for the 22 cartages since September
5 years on it's still performing well and one of my favorite preces of kit..... almost a bargain at twice the price ( I paid $125 for mine )
Hi Rick, good to see you back on the screen again. I was wondering if everything was ok, because I hadn't seen you coming up with new videos for sevveral weeks now... Keep it up, and keep those vids coming! Best wishes,
Martin.
Great review Rick I just have one question. Can I switch this from CO2 to HPA? I would like something to hunt with like the Bandit but love the carbine synthetic configuration of the Chaser much better.
I like to put small rubber O. rings on the hammer spring it's very accurate And hits hard Great Britain shooting or anything else
Greetings from Serbia
I do wish I bought the .177 instead of the .22
Still i can't decide to buy the .177 or the .22,why you want the .177?
Why is the .177 better than the .22 in your opinion?
@@jonasaras
Well, at first I had bad accuracy issues with the .22 but that problem is solved now,... The barrel must have had a bur on it or something because I scrubbed it hard with a wire barrel cleaner & now it's excellent.
The common weight for a .22 pellet is 14.3 grains & a .177 is about half that so the .177 travels faster but doesn't have the same impact energy,... The .22 just seemed a bit slow.
I now have 2 Diana chasers :)
I have the .22 AND the .177 & I love them both !
I have made some power mods to both & the .22 has picked up some speed & still does have the hitting power.
The .177 does really well with heavier pellets right at around 10 grains & that gives you a bit more hitting power than a 7.4 grain pellet.
What scope did you use on this? Even though you recommend for plinking, can I use this to hunt chipmunks and squirrels?
Yes I use .22 for squirrels and chipmunks with irons but a scope would be nice
I think you meant, you have it there as a long rifle. It can break down to a rather large full size target pistol, or be configured as a carbine with the shoulder stock and the pistol barrel.
Barrel lengths nominal 210mm and 450mm (8.7" and 17.7") - quite long.
In all configurations it is best described as a pistol mechanism as the valve and wotnot is intended to fling a .177 out of the pistol barrel at 500fps, which is absolutely perfect for target pistol shooting (high end target pistols shoot 500fps) as this combines optimum velocity with the least spread and deviation. It will also keep it in the CO2 self-regulating window where it will maintain outlet pressure with little temperature sensitivity whilst also providing a very high shot count (more than PCP of similar size). 10m to 20m with ease.
As long rifle the velocity will go up by 100fps or more (600-650fps) with a slightly heavier pellet for greater range and less wind deviation. Tack driving accuracy from 5m to over 50m. Less shot count that from the pistol barrel but less fps spread.
Probably capable of competition, or just used for practise and plinking and humane vermin control (not pistol).
A Very Good Quality Product
Thanks for telling me where to pick this up
Great review! I decidet to buy one. Thanx ;)
Rick, I watched you videos on the Chaser many times. I decided to purchase it in .177. I am waiting for my package and yes, I ordered it from Pyramid Air, and yes, I told them that I bought because of your videos. I have ordered supplies from them but this is actually my first CO2 air gun. I recently rebuilt a Daisy 717 and I also own a Zoraki. My other air guns were gifts from my family, an Akela in .22 and an AEA HP Carbine in .25. I really enjoy you explanations and keeping it just technical enough. Have you ever converted a CO2 to a PCP?
Thanks for the video I've been watching airgun web since I got back into airguns. I love mine I just wish I'd have gotten the full platform as mine is just the pistol. Do you know where I can get the barrel and perhaps the shoulder stock.
The most underated budget all around good shooter people rave about. And the mods, OMG! You can Frankenstein this thing with others like other Diana Guns like the Bandit, the Atermis guns, SMK and a bunch of brands use this same platform and the parts are largely interchangeable. There's a Diana Chaser and Bandit hybrid I like (Bandit upper in a Chaser stock and grip) which is also a PCP because the Bandit is PCP. The options are endless and the platform is so flexible that get this, you can even do .25 cal on a Bandit, with a simple barrel swap like you did (breach, barrel band etc. is included) all for a mere $75 Can. so even cheaper in the U.S. Where else are you going to get a PCP carbine pistol and rifle that accurate, that capable for under $300? Only an older cousin of this the Artemis PP700 (again Diana parts) is capable of the same for the same money or less.
Now you've just gone from a target shooter into a more serious hunting rifle. One that obliterates small prey and pests much bigger than mice, lol. People shoot Grouse, Rabbits etc. with them. That's what interests me about this, rather than a separate rifle and pistol good for everything, this does it all in one gun. The weight, for hunting and trekking long distances make it VERY appealing as a hunting rifle people and pest control uses, it's highly manoeuvrable in tight spaces and bush etc. and people use them like that a lot, believe me. Fast, accurate powerful, cheap to run cheap to buy, can run higher calibre, what's not to love (and people do love it)? Don't underestimate it's hunting ability, it's doing pass throughs on small animals in .22 and .25 cal and in .25 it hits hard. Mind you it's single shot in .25 cal, no mag. like on the .22 and .177.
There is an adaptor for usaing as a PCP carbine/pistol Joules increment substantially.
Great review.
Your bolt jumps up. At the tail of the bolt in the breech block is a rubber ball on a spring you can tighten to stop that. If the bolt jumps up and flies back it will release CO2.
Good parts but iffy factory assembly. When you get one, strip it down, clean and lube it properly, and reassemble it properly.
Whilst light enough for a child, it is not a kid's toy. It is an "air weapon" and needs treating with some respect. A pellet from it will penetrate.
That does not mean a child should not use it. Here in England it does mean under 14yo must be supervised at all times and that's not a numptie rule.
Mine came in today but due to temps being in the low thirties I will have to wait a few days to take it out.
Why don't many people know that the moderator comes off to be able to go on to the pistol barrel it's just threadlockered on the long barrel.
i recently got the .22 version of this, can't wait to play with it!
With that stock it looks like something Barbarella would have in her armory.
Hi. Should I use medium or high scope mounts? I plan to equip a hawke 2-7 32 scope and use a mag.
Be careful, your scope mounts can get in the way of the magazine slot, so the scope may have to go rearward a little more than you like.
The bolt handle keeps jumping up when shot . It may lose power that way . Just saying good vid
Put some O. rings under the hammer spring and it will shoot 650' per second
Just ordered mine in .22 cal.
Hi Rick I have .177 and .22 also really like them alot they are both very powerful and very accurate . oldgeorge
...this DIANA (7,5 joule) is powerful enough to use it as a pest control ? (Thanks from Italy)
Someone suggested that this can be easily change the bolt from one side to the other.... any suggestions?
So, would lighter pellets work better for this? Say the H&N barracuda green? Or would the normal weight be better?
one thing for sure, it loves the GTO 11.75 grains! I'd expect light pellets would be good in general since it is not going to push them supersonic
Bolt is on the wrong side. And I know it's not made in Germany, so is it Chinese?
You can buy a part to change it if you're left or right handed.
At first glance I thought you had stolen my custom 2240🙂
Diana chaser poly mags and pumpkins?
it is possible to shoot with the hi pack as in crosman 2240 ?
Can the .177 kill iguanas?
Hi fluffy Rick!
No ring seals needed when changing the barrel? From pistol to rifle? Because I have seen it comes with 4 extra ring seals... What are they for? For inside the pistol? Or where do they go? When do you use them?
the fat o ring goes on the barrel
the others idk
Does anyone else recognize that the bolt handle flips upwards as he fires? That does not look too safe.
I mean I own a Lee enfield .303 rifle and mine does the same thing when you fire. A air gun won't have a catastrophic detonation if it has an out of battery discharge. Probably a small loss of fps for the pellet.
Price ??????
Does anyone know if this is available in Canada?
Make this a pcp and im in
Why do we have to figure the trigger out??????
It would be great if the company Diana was called Cougar. Then they could call it the
" Cougar Chaser "
Why are you loading by hand
Hey would you recommend the Beeman qb78 deluxe or this ? Need feed back please let me know ASAP looking to order
I would recommend the QB78D. I love mine. Many parts and how to videos. It's the most accurate air rifle I own. It has no problem dispatching red squirrels and starling's out to 50 yards with the few mods I have done to it.
BulletTooth011 thanks I’ll definitely be looking more into the qb78 any idea of where to order the tube cap to convert to hpa
BulletTooth011 also what mods do you have done to yours
Start with Archer airguns for all things QB.
Mods - bolt probe, bigger transfer port seal, I drilled the transfer port hole in the barrel to enlarge it, I took the filter material out of the valve & I may have tweeked the hammer spring. It's been a few years. Also added a hammereli compensator. It fits the 15mm barrel and with some camo tape over the holes it is whisper quiet.
It seems to be a semi automatic almost ! ;D
What scope would you recommend?
-I imagine you have a scope by now Victor, but I bought mine about 4 months ago, and put a Walther 4x32 scope on it,..it gives me a great magnification and is really clear glass.
There are a few squirrels who would tell you that the scope works too well LOL! I kept the distance to 'target' at no more than 15 yards ( 45 feet ) great back yard gun and low cost to shoot with.
how many feet it can shoot accurate?
tic tacs at 40 feet
cans at 150 feet
after 100 feet it starts to drop considerably
you can screw the silencer off. You falsely claim that its stuck to the long barell.
That seems to depend on which country it is sold.
On mine in the US it is stuck on, but i got a nice one from buck-rail for $20
Joule??
Will it kill squirrels?
20 yard max and head shot
Crosman ratcatcher??
Does the mag malfunction?
Yes, the carousel rotation doesn't go quite far enough. But it's simple to disassemble and file the carousel where it contacts the rotate-limit lug. Where in earth is the pellet gun costing less than $500 not needing an engineering degree and 15 years experience to use it? Anyway, that's all the magazines need.
I've run 1500 rounds through two mags, no problems.
If I recall, I mighta had a jam once before I made sure to seat the first pellet forwards so the skirt can't scrape
PS got two new mags from Pyramid, the spring feels stronger :) maybe the old problem has been fixed at the factory
Duse no one stand up to test any more
