Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 aye cant beat the feeling of a springer. the sense of achievement..the good feeling when your on form and you got it mastered and your getting good groups. also kills feel a lot better with a springer. with a pcp its just point and click but with a springer theres actually skill involved a pcp is just a tool to do a job in my oppinion. whereas your springer is more like a friend hahaha 1 Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I wouldn't swap my PCP for all the coke in columbia, but then I wouldn't be without a good springer either Quote Link to post
woodcote1 88 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Do you prefer the Hw or the Diana ? Quote Link to post
gurtwurz 792 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 cracking shooting mate, springers are just so much more fun to shoot than pcp's... i tried a diana 52 and 54 last year but didnt get on so well with them, shame cos theyre cracking guns if they suit you. cheers, wurz Quote Link to post
Stuart1985 256 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Diana is my first choice, always will be, very enjoyable rifle to use, just wanna see what's the results with the tunning kit, Just have to wait and try it out when complete Quote Link to post
pianoman 3,587 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 If anything Stuart, a good tuning kit should enhance your rifle's inherent accuracy and cocking/lock time with a smoother firing cycle. I admire Diana, especially their underlever and sidelever rifles for their care and build-quality of their designs and finish of their looks. I'd really like to try out a 54 Airking. Post up the results when you get it back and set up . Nothing wrong with PCPs but. they just don't excite me. They really are no more accurate than a top quality spring rifle and frankly, a fair few of them look a bit bloody ugly by comparison. The Theoben Rapid 7 is a case in point. Absolutely precision accurate shooting machine but, bloody thing looks like its deep-throating a fire extinguisher! Simon 2 Quote Link to post
