COMPLETE DIANA MAUSER K98 / 36 YARD 23/04/2021

Had my Diana Mauser K98 .22 Cal springer out for a bit of a target shoot. 36 yards, just over 32.5 Metres which is my home range limit, and with a very basic reticle, holdover was a guess, probably a little too much. Apart from the shot I pulled, shot no.4 the other 4 were under 20mm, 3 under 13mm. Bit of fun with the paintballs, 2 hits, 1 golf tee destroyed and one credited to Mister Ric O'Chet😂 Looks wise the 2-7x28 Atom scope suits the Mauser K98, and as just a target and plinking rifle (for me anyway) I'll be leaving the scope on. Great looking springer rifle, more accurate than me, and the iron sights are class, if you can focus on them. Highly recommended.

Looks the business, and the sling looks good too. Thanks.

You do know you can edit video, don't you? I was falling asleep between shots, waiting for your next trigger pull. At one point, I actually had 8hrs sleep, came back and you still hadn't fired the next shot 😂.

Setup looks very similar to mine now, same style of scope, I think my rings are a tad lower. Mine is in .177. Damned accurate if I can do my part. Love it.

Cute rifle.

The cocking "hinge pin" that the cocking mechanism connects to broke on my .177 one over the weekend, looks like poor heat treatment of the item, large grain structure apparent in the metal. This time last year the axis pin that goes through the hinge sheared with similar evidence of embrittlement. Not particularly chuffed to the point I think I'll be selling it and getting a TX200 instead. A shame because besides needing a tune I really like the K98. It's a sod getting spares too, have to refer to the parts list for the 460 Magnum and source from Italy last time. I've contacted the UK distrubter this time but no response yet. Hope you're well Neil from another former Boscombe plumber. :o)

Great shame about your K98. That's for the info, I'll have a look at mine. TX200 is a fine rifle. Stay safe mate
