jackinbox99 41 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Ive just been given a .177 Diana G80 to have a play with and maybe sell on for a friend as he no longer uses it. Now, im not used to a springer at all, as I stick to my air arms s410. Anyway, ive had a bit of a play with the g80 in my garden and have to say im very supprised with how accurate it is. Its obviously noiser and got more of a kick to my pcp, but im getting really good results out of it, so now im thinking maybe i should keep it and get a decent scope for it. Has anyone else on here got any experiences of the g80? Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 I bought one back in 1981 in .22, shot stacks of rabbits, pigeons, and ducks on a farm where I worked, it was a good gun for at the time Quote Link to post
andyfr1968 772 Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Yup! I had one too in the early 's and it was a good solid little gun. A mate at the time had an HW35 and the shot at least as well and was a lot lighter too. Good gun, mate, and quite rare these days. Cheers. Quote Link to post

This has 82 stamped on the wood near the trigger guard, so im wondering if this was when it was manufactored? If its rare, then im a bit reluctant to use it much as this one is in mint condition and it would be a shame to take it out in the field! Quote Link to post
Edgar 1 Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Don't want to disappoint you but I don't think it will be worth a lot so you might as well use it if you want too. Quote Link to post

Like Edgar says, get out and enjoy it! Cheers. Quote Link to post
