Well it's not a new powder burning rifle but it should be interesting.
I just ordered a Diana 430L under lever .177 cal pellet rifle with scope from Airguns of Arizona.
I got to shoot two last night that belonged to a new friend who is a master class air rifle shooter and trust me he doesn't own rifles that don't shoot or have the potential to be shooters.
And this rifle will shoot with the right pellets.
I was bored with the winter and weather and went off reading about air guns on the GTA web sight and became interested in this rifle. One because it was an under lever and two because it was priced with a scope and mount for under $300.
So with German quality and a scope too I couldn't see where I could go wrong and to top it all off one of the GTA members offered to let me shoot his so I could make up my mind and he brought to to the local Isaac Walton League in door range to let me try them out .
One was a custom tuned rifle he uses for 10m matches and the other a box stock factory rifle with a Vortex scope mount on it.
The first time shooting one of theses rifles I was able to hold the black shooting standing off hand and from a make shift bench rest I was able to shoot a 3 shot 3/8" group with a rifle I had only taken 3 shots with previously.
To say the least I was impressed with the factory rifle. The tuned rifle shot well also but then for an additional $300 dollars for tuning I expected as much.
Can't wait for mine to come from Arizona.
