Diana 34

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

I’m 66 Grew up, repairing Diana’s at 12-15years old. Taking em into skool and selling for a profit. Including to the teachers. I have only ever used Springers Love em and always usable unless spring snaps or washer goes.

Diana Air Rifles are probably the best on the Market for Spring Powered models

[@chipkk7868]

Love the springers and so glad to see you showking just how good they are

[@BoggWeasel]

I have an original 34 with wood furniture, the new 34 is quite a change up in design. Don't think I'll be switching, besides, I'm already saving up for a 54. Thanks Andy, I always enjoy your presentations great info with some "entertainment" thrown in to top it off . 👍👍👍👍 (Would have been 5 thumbs up, deducted one for the bad jokes and horrible puns 😁)

Morning all

[@DADDYDAYCAREIRELAND]

Morning sir to you also may you have good day and luck sent from Irelands 🇮🇪 Green shores

[@tuxedomask414]

Good morning hope you all have a great weekend

[@artemdorokhin9934]

These Dianas (especially 54 and 460) can be easily used up to 100 meters with the full power version (which enable you to use heavier pellets that are more sustainable to wind and behave better at longer distances)

[@artemdorokhin9934]

I have a 54 full power version (22J in 177 (Im not in UK)) and it often goes beyond my expectations

[@finjay21fj]

I love the way you present, BBC quality :-y ❤️🏆🥇

[@558vulcanxh]

Nice review, I'd go for the Beech stock too. For me , it would be the icing on the cake if Diana would offer the stock as it used to be with traditional styling .😊

[@mavicprotoe3959]

Great piece of kit. Ive still got my original dianna from when i was 8 years old 1992 which my dad bort from the second hand shop for 25 pounds puts out 8ft lbs and still shoots a 5p piece with open sights from 22m

[@rogerhandley644]

Thank you Andy, I bought this very rifle, used in .22, on my last visit to Vector Air. I spent at least an hour in there talking to Carl (and shaking hands with Mrs AAR) and Carl brought the gun out while I was making my purchase of a Walther Reign, I had to have it! Not fired it yet but will very soon 😊

[@injairgun]

I have the Xisico B25H .22 which is a Chinese made Diana Model 34 clone and you would never know it! The build quality and accuracy is fantastic and coupled with the bamboo thumbhole laminated stock make this gun absolutely gorgeous!

[@DriverTuition]

I bought this gun some months ago, on the basis of this review, topped it off with a Victoptics 4-16*44 FFP sight and am very pleased with the combination. I have some much more expensive rifles but I do really, really like this Diana. Feels like a quality piece of kit and keeps good company with a late 70s HW35E: Both a pleasure to shoot.

[@CdEmm50]

I would buy Diana, never weihrauch. I have a TX200, king of springers, but I have a couple of vintage Diana rifles.

[@williammagtoto1784]

I still have my original Diana 24 and 34 (>15 yrs old), both marked as Made in West Germany, with wood furniture. Still shooting great. 🙂👍

[@philkennedy342]

I absolutely love Diana’s now own 3 of them last a life time solid German engineering 👍👍👍

Good to see and hear your thoughts on this one Andy, thanks for your time in putting this review up here.

[@jukeboxjohnnie]

Grew up with a Diana 52 so no surprise here, great guns. Found a 48 recently so reliving my youth

[@MalcolmJames-sg3zg]

glad your doing reviews on the Diana models , thanks , keep em coming

[@hijack4661]

Andy, thanks for your hard work and interesting videos. I love your way to explain your point of view.

[@louisbigelow1866]

I noticed that diagonal pattern, when I've been practicing with my Springer and I noticed that diagonal pattern showing up it's usually caused by me not properly managing the Springer's recoils, it's either my hold is verying between shots, or my rest is not doing its job. I have actually padded my wrist with 3/8 of an inch of closed cell foam, three layers of 1/8 in. And then put a couple of layers of terry cloth over that so that being on the wrist it allows the gun to freely recoil without affecting the point of aim as much. One of the other guys I've shot with recommended testing springers off of a foam pillow. That allows them to freely recoil. Your actual accuracy is probably closer to the width of that grouping.. I've got about a half a dozen springers that I regularly shoot. Only one PCP, it's not as much fun.

[@mercury8180]

I have a 2017 made in Germany 34 classic in .177 with beech stock. I cannot fault it in any way. It is easily as good as my hw35k and that is praise indeed.

[@BravoBassin]

thanks for this great review I live in the U.S. and have been trying to find video's on this rifle. I have been interested in it for awhile but your''s is the first video I found on this one with the thumb hole stock which is the one I am interested in. I actually prefer springer's over PCP air rifles even though I own several of both kinds.

[@AdamJones-ui8si]

Another superb review. I’m new to the air gun world, but these videos have me hooked! Keep ‘em coming!

[@stuartclaridge8537]

Always look forward to your reviews Andy. Not for me personally, I still prefer PCP, but that’s just my preference. When you add a scope, could you provide POV perspective so we get an idea and view of the reticle? Obviously these aren’t a review of said scope, but I always wonder what your view is like.

[@shaunjones6049]

Can’t believe I used to be able to hunt with open sights. I bought a Original 45 took it straight out and shot 54 Starlings and a wood pigeon. Now Starlings are a protected species, a bird that was absolutely everywhere, on every tv aerial and chimney pot ? Why the massive decline? I couldn’t shoot open sights now, 😄 I got to put my glasses on to eat my dinner 😄

[@jimcowley330]

I've got a gamo varment in plastic stock it must be a one off its so accurate and powerful its amazing and there's no way I'd sell it would beat the pants off the Diana cheers take care Jim.😊

[@decal1751]

I wouldn't have been able to keep from shooting those darn flys!! 😂😂😁🤷🏻‍♂️

[@CdEmm50]

I get them ok, with my tx200.

[@jhjuwel2919]

[@kouroshdavoudi7828]

Andy after seeing this video i decided I wanted one in beech here i Iran, I ended up getting some thing which doesn't exist 😮 A model 45, made in Germany 2023 With a booklet in the box saying 34 EMS, it's in .22 and full power guess 22 jules,it is just as accurate as the one you tested almost like my 54 about 27 jules but a lot lighter and cheaper, it is a joy to shoot 😊

[@simonnoble7589]

Good morning Andy , sorry Iam late ⏰ again ! . Iam next to the Red Sea 🌊 in Hurgarda Egypt 🇪🇬. I didn’t want miss your fantastic show .

[@jayquinn3701]

Always look forward to a new review. Cheers Andy! :D

[@MAli-SL2uk]

Nice review Andy A little too long for me but you can't beat a German made springer. I prefer the karbine versions with a quality hardwood stock simply gorgeous ❤. One love to all 🇬🇧🇵🇰 🌹 Ali

[@drnaseemahmadkhan380]

Dear I have diana 34 ems black .22 caliber which I purchased online. Unfortunarely i broke front and rear sights. Dear can you guide me where could i find the spares?

[@5Komma5]

Usually I am not a fan auf automatic safeties but the way Diana does it is really nice. Push forward with your thumb when you bring up the rifle and it is ready to go. This is the only type of auto safety I don't feel the need to disable.

[@WayneNiles01]

Another great video Andy. Can you clarify please? Did you dry fire that without a pellet right at the end? I have always been told that was bad.

[@nickthomas2242]

Dear AAR / Andy at : 7:57 you said 15.06 joules and the screen read 16.06 joules please verify which 🙏 P.S love all you and miss AAR have put out there it’s the best channel to watch hope I am not gust being picky if I am sorry. ❤

[@stewarttaylor1282]

Another excellent review Andy, I have bought 3 guns now based on your reviews . Thanks

[@plektosgaming]

For almost two decades(mid 80s to early 2000s), the 34 and its variants were the springer your simply bought as it worked and was the least expensive option that wasn't made out of recycled tin cans. The issue was the flood of cheap airguns that came soon after and were almost without exception far below this level of quality, which really used to be the lower-end when nothing was made outside of Germany and the U.K. Basically the goal posts changed and everyone got used to buying junk and saying that it was "decent". To this day, I'd still pass on any springer not made in Germany. The difference is that vast for honestly not a lot of money considering that these last decades. As for the stock, the wood stock is the classic.

[@dr.piyushbajpai6497]

Hi, Andy great presentation, please make videos on various Sniper PCP and Interchangeable barel gun we have in market.

[@davidbooth60]

Love a new springer This looks good 👍

[@Jones-xx2gc]

Sadly I have been to cosseted with PCP air rifles of late. I remember when I could just about hit anything out to 20 yds with and old Webley Junior. Will have to get my Weihrauch HW30 out again. Great review and air rifle.

[@thinkingimpaired5663]

I've always wanted to own a Diana.

[@dudespin]

Features look very similar to my Walther Parrus. Excellent review!

[@JamesDavis-mb9pc]

Was very interested in buying one of these but (frustratingly) there is just no stock in the UK. Also seems that only Vector Air have any Diana products ( 460 magnum and 54 air king pro) in stock. Are Diana bothered about selling in the UK? Weirauch were in similar short supply 18 months but seem to be reasonably available now. Come on Diana!

[@tonyhoward7840]

Nice review Andy,,,, I like the Diana brand,,,,, the Diana Chaser has been very good pistol/rifle,,,, always been interested in the break barrels

[@scousewillo62]

Brand new rifle, un adjusted trigger and out at 40m. Very impressive accuracy and consistency. With options of sighting and calibre it is a very well rounded offering. For similar money to the HW99s it offers far more in terms of adjustability and performance straight out of the box.

[@stigg333]

Think the HW99s is around £95 cheaper and with the Rekord trigger and just as accurate I think it's a better buy at the moment but this does look like another great gun from Diana.

[@DriverTuition]

I had a 99S and loved it. Bargain gun. Sold it to clear the house of too much stuff before house move. Regretted it. Just ordered one of these! Let's hope it lives up to the promise. Update: Very pleased with this gun, glad I bought it. Accurate, real quality feel, especially when cocking. Maybe not as good a trigger as my old 35E, but very pleased overall. The heft and bit of recoil give a proper gun feel to it, not quite my Ruger Precision, but a good practice weapon :-)

[@hardtbrett]

There are gasram for the ems-line too. Greatings from germany 👋🏻

[@emilsudak]

Hi what pellets brand were used for this review please ?

Hi Andy, can you rewiev air rifle hatsan 105x torpedo? I really wanna know what you think of it

[@tarmacdemon]

Ah this brings back memories for me . The first air rifle I bought was Diana G 34 in .22 . Mine cost me the grand total of ...........10 /6 .....thats ten shillings and six pence second hand in old money . 52.5 pence in new money . whey back when Dinosaurs roamed the earth 😂 . It wasn't in the greatest nick scratched rusty in places but it worked . Was OK for ambushing rabbits which was the main reason for buying it meat for the pot .

[@davidbowler5155]

That will go over 12 when it’s bedded in ! Mine did😬 awesome rifle so accurate👌

[@MrAshtute]

I know they aren't your thing (Springer's) but is one of these Diana's going to sneak into your collection?

Is that a portable shooting table? If so what’s the name of it?

I like this profesor

[@The-Armed-Pacifist]

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! I always understood that a springer should never be shot if not loaded. Am I wrong?

[@springpistonriflefeverlone9611]

Very nice springer🙂👍

[@oddjob7821]

I've always been interested in how these springers today would compete with the likes of the Original 45, Webley Vulcan and the HW 35

Recently have been getting back into .177 target shooting. Great channel… I just have to replace my fury np with something a bit more accurate

[@amirchughtai425]

I purchased the wooden beech version yesterday based on AAR reviews. As mentioned by you, it’s a very customisable rifle. I’m seeking a scope to go with it. Please advise. Splendid reviews. Always entertaining. Thanks

[@MartinHøyem-q5j]

Can you remove that ugly silver stripe thing on the stock?

[@ianprice000]

You quote a 12mm dove tail rail ... so does that mean it needs the BSA sized mounts rather than the standard 9-11mm dovetail mounts ?

[@jamiehughes9986]

Just bought one of these lovely rifle it is dose better then most pcp tbf at 12 foot pounds it perfect I recommend you get to you local gun smiths and grab one you won’t be disappointed

[@docthebiker]

Do you have something against gas rams Andy? When was the last time you reviewed one?

[@LowkeyAirgunner]

A spring will last way longer even tho a gas ram can feel smoother... I tend to recommend springers more than Gas ram rifles myself

[@docthebiker]

@@LowkeyAirgunner Tell my Webley Nemesis it shouldn't still be working after 35 years ;) My Weihrauch 95 breaking a spring in that time. Gassers are more popular this (French) side of the channel and are fine at >20 joules. In fact are more consistent over time with air volume remaining a constant.

[@LowkeyAirgunner]

@@docthebiker I can break atleast 3 springs before getting up to the cost of a single gas ram! But I do like my gas ram until they break 😁

[@docthebiker]

@@LowkeyAirgunner Glad to not have replicated that experience. When I lost the spring I uprated to French power and tinbummed the gun, so no loss

Great review, what tripod do you use to shoot off? Cheers?

Whatever happened to my Diana G79 (circa 1971\2)? Halcyon days when you could fire an air gun in a back garden and that’s a city back garden too…….

[@geetee7154]

Another great review Andy, I had one of these for a couple of years, right up to 4 weeks ago, when I traded in for a Weihrauch HW97KT, the Rifle itself was very good, accurate & we'll made, however...it was just too long,, the length of pull was the main issue for me, not to mention the 2 mile long barrel, but overall a good rifle, not quite as good as the HW97 though, but hey ho you can't have everything can you 😉😉

[@buijs1967]

Great review. I have the wood stock in 4,5mm. The 34 EMS (Easy Modular System) is a big improvement over the old regular 34. Improved cocking mechanism, Adjustable barrel alignment (to compensate for droop if necessary) I think it shoots as good a my HW99/50. If only it was a little shorter and had a stock as nice as the latest HW's. If you put a silencer on it, it is way way too long.

[@davylad4804]

Are the 177 and 22 rifles the same apart from the barrel? Andy mentions passing the legal UK limit if swapping barrels how would that occur would putting a 177 barrel on a 22 rifle make it more powerful?

Nice rifle but with scope - is it really "budget"/entry level? Perhaps a go-to vermin rifle for general farm use?

[@SmeurkeDeKat]

Has there been anyone that has ordered the alternative globe front sight? Diana advertises the modularity of this rifle, but is extremely vague about the parts you can actually modify it with (sights, shims, N-tec conversions, barrels, etc..). Even when you email their customer service directly. On their website, the 34 EMS variants are the only rifles that have no partslists available. It seems strange, since I've gotten factory replacement parts for my K98 (460) and 350 Mag within a week of ordering them. It's as if they pretend it never existed. I'm not trying to make Diana look bad. I'm a very happy customer otherwise. I bought a 350 Magnum Premium instead of this because they just couldn't (or wouldn't?) tell me how to order the globe sight.

[@BiBLOKAFA]

No need to pay more.Solid serious hatsan striker edge .22

[@robertwillis4061]

I like the angle of the pistol grip on this gun. It's very close to the angle of an actual pistol. I broke my wrist a few years ago and I need a steep angled pistol grip. Mmmmm. maybe a consideration for a new purchase.

Greetings from Slovakia. Your videos are great. I am planning to buy a Diana 34 EMS air rifle in the 4.5mm 16J wood version, it is the maximum power allowed in our country.
