ASunnyD Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Picked up a Diana series 70 model 77. The stock has been battered but seems to be in working order. Anybody know much about these guns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 I've had one of these since about 1973 - my second airgun in .22. What cay you say - they are young lads airguns - I remember thinking I was stepping up to the "more powerful" .22 after two years with a G23 in .177 and I found it "disappointing" that it did not full penetrate the lattice fencing down the garden and hence the .177 v .22 Argument rages even to this day - with the reduced penetration and the "loopy" trajectory I had a few ricochet back to me and judging hold over was that bit more difficult. I think it you accept it for what it is you will really enjoy it? For me having one (with the expectations I had before getting it) I was a bit disappointed and it set me on a quest for .177 under levers such as an Original 50 or HW77 - however looking back now I have some very happy memories of shooting with my G77. I'm sure you will enjoy it. Just be careful about any splash-back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASunnyD Posted October 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 I have a .22 at the moment in my remington airgun however a mate from work was getting rid of this and it's a bit of a wreck, it's more of a project really, needs the stock sanding, varnished, blueing is rusted, needs oiling up inside and maybe more once I've tried to restore it haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASunnyD Posted October 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 As for the .177 vs .22 argument and splash back and penetration and trajectory, I've only had .22 so I'm no man to comment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
