@@razor1962 I was referring to the last 2 weeks or so since the Tracker video which I suggested that the accuracy problem may have been the scope. I enjoy your videos but sometimes forget you are still working. Oops, my bad. I do look for updates daily Kevin. Too bad you can't make a living making videos.
100 bucks is quite a statement for a Diana two forty. In Germany, the model is available for €180, which I think is a bit excessive. By the way, I was able to find another dealer who offers Crosman Premier HP and the pellets work well. Love the channel.
Hmmm... That does seem a little overpriced. Those Crosman pellets are a curiosity. They're very inconsistent in size and weight, yet they seem to shoot well in a variety of guns. Thanks as always, my friend.
I wouldn't say inexpensive when compared to the prices of alternative offerings for a first time youth rifle, more like a very affordable quality rifle and well worth that little extra.
After watching the first video you did on the Two Forty I decided to pick one up and collect some of the youth break barrels. So far I have the Diana Two Forty, Stoeger S3000c, Hatsan Alpha and the Crosman Phantom. The Two Forty is my favorite but they are all fun. Thanks for all the videos.....
Very impressive, great shooting, I have been looking at this rifle since your last video, for me it's all about enjoyment, I dont mind if it has 5 or 25 FPE, neither do I mind if it's made in China, today I am ordering one, thanks for sharing. 👍👍
Hi Kevin! for that money it's a very good choice for sure, but to be honest i would buy as a parent the HW30 and let my kids shoot with it too 😆😆😆Thanks for showing my friend 👍
@@razor1962 You're welcome 😊 Question for you, have you shot the Gamo swarm hunter springer? You can only get it off Gamo`s website. The reason I'm asking is because I got one last year for $139 and it my first spring gun, now that I learned to shot it well, I can get dime size groups at 25 yards. I can't believe it shots that well for the price and I'm still new to spring guns.
Wish you could try the gamo swarm whisper in .22 This gun is the Glock19/ AK47 of air rifles( amazing accuracy, 10 shot robust repeater, light weight, excellent for hunting and tons of fun for plinking).
🥰Great vid as always Kevin, this just made my Sunny Sunday perfect!...I had just packed away all my gear and sat down with a fresh coffee after a morning on the home range plinking with the wife and my new KWC 1911*. (and the .30 carnivore 'finally' got sighted in 😂..my poor backboard suffered today!🤣) Kia Kaha Kevin, many thanks for sharing and hope your well mate. (...that trigger!! 😶) *OMG these .177 steel BB 1911's by KWC are SOOO much fun! 🤗
Shot number I don't know lol love it ,just bought a AGT Vixen ,£1295 just for the rifle, I then think how many springers I could of got with that money ,but her indoors said only 2 guns lol ,so the Vixen and HW97K will do 😊
Any man with a Mrs. AND a vixen is a man to be recond with. 😉 I sold all but a handful of my PCPs. My first-generation AGT Vulcan is at the top of that list.
@WalnutandSteel He does, indeed. I snatched up a 400 with exceptional grain to the stock. I think that you'll be impressed. You get a lot of gun for the money.
I did something to the trigger that made it downright dangerous. The case hardening is very thin on those engagement surfaces. I broke through it, and the sear began to fail. I ended up reshaping the engagement surfaces to get the sear to hold. Thanks for watching, my friend.
Hello again, As I mentioned in response to your comment on another video, I currently don't have a Diana Model 35, but if I do pick one up one day, it will have a TO6. Thanks again, my friend.
Hello, my friend. This is a question that you must ask yourself. I don't own a Diana 56 (yet,) so I really have no experience with which to provide any insight into the rifle. I can, however, vouch for the quality and accuracy of the HW97. I would imagine that a solid, fixed barrel, "recoil reduced" rifle ought to be able to compete with the 97 in the accuracy dept., but again, I can only speculate. Thanks for watching.
Glad to have you back!!
I've been back since February. 🤣
Which begs the question....Where have YOU been ? 😊
Thanks as always, my friend.

Good to see you enjoying your shooting with a inexpensive rifle showing people don't have to spend a small fortune, thanks Kevin
It's also nice to get good performance from an inexpensive rifle. It makes the shooting experience much more rewarding. Thanks for watching.

bei SWS and Diana two-forty 124,95 €.
@@moonraker978 Already had to return some items to SWS. If we take the item price as a basis, it comes out the same.
@@bramster-b9v That was just a tip (Crosman), I haven't had any bad experiences with SWS so far. Just bought the marvelous Weihrauch 57.
When you're punching paper there is a lot to be said for easy cocking and no recoil 👍
Indeed impressive for the budget price.
I was certainly surprised. Thanks for watching.

Good catch. There's no such thing as " inexpensive " anymore. 😉
Impressive little break barrel. Id take accuracy over power all day long
Absolutely. I can throw a rock with a rock with a heck of a lot more terminal energy, but I'd be lucky to hit anywhere near what I'm aiming for....🤣

you and I got to get out to the range. Thanks for the shearing

Exactly. Thanks for watching, my friend.

The HW30 sets the bar for all other springers, which are aimed at the youth market. Can't go wrong with a 30. Thanks as always, Ron.
Beautiful shooting from what seems a solid little gun.
Thanks very much. It's a little more than you'd expect at its price point.
Kevin great video and you made the 240 look good
Thanks, Mike, but the Two Forty made itself look good.👍
He he, you're still not putting the pellets in a row out of the tin to keep count Kevin??, what's that old saying about dogs and tricks again? 🤣
I'll never learn.....😔
Another enjoyable video !
Thanks Steve. Much appreciated.

hola kevin, muy buen video. saludos desde Granada ( spain)
Thank you, my friend.
I just pick up the Diane 250 thumb hole love it good shooting Kevin
😎👍
Thanks, Peter. Enjoy your new rifle.
@@razor1962 got a bad wrist and shoulder going for shots in may 1961
@PeterAgostiniJdcap26 Best of luck. Hoping that those shots make a huge difference.
@@razor1962 thanks my friend
Evening Kevin! Nice plinker!
Howdy Nibs. Always a pleasure, sir.
Jon shipped my Cometa 300 today. I am excited to see that! he said he had something special heading back to you as well!
@WalnutandSteel He does, indeed. I snatched up a 400 with exceptional grain to the stock.
I think that you'll be impressed. You get a lot of gun for the money.
I posted a picture he sent me in the community section of my channel
@@WalnutandSteel That's a very attractive rifle. I'll be watching for it on your channel.
coul make a good match with my airbug,
also think about DAISY MODEL 499B, single shot "match" BB for inside 6 yards , keeping the skills.
take care
It's a terrific little rifle for the price tag. Thanks for watching, my friend.
Did you do something to the trigger to make it acceptable?
I did something to the trigger that made it downright dangerous. The case hardening is very thin on those engagement surfaces. I broke through it, and the sear began to fail. I ended up reshaping the engagement surfaces to get the sear to hold.
Thanks for watching, my friend.
❤❤❤❤❤❤🌹
👍 Thank you, my friend.
Maybe 25 yds is too far for such a low powered gun. Same power as my Walther LG400 10m indoor target rifle.
I don't know. I was pretty impressed with the performance from the Two Forty at 25 yards. Thanks for watching.
Kevin make video on Diana 35 t06 . And what u think about d35 how's airgun?

Dangerous, indeed.
Trigger is soooo bad
No argument here.....Gotta tell it like it is.
