You mean like when a Diana 460 and a Diana 350 love each other very much, and before you know it there's a Diana 48 in the family...?

Had wanted to snap a photo of the beech wood stock at the beach but a Diana 350 N Tec Classic ia difficult to conceal in a speedo.

Either way, this is hands down the most enjoyable fully fitted $450 setup (not incl. Donny FL dressing) I own.
Airgun: $250 (AofA sale snipe)
Scope: $100 Bushnell Banner 6-18x
Rings: $50 BRK (sure do wish they made picatinny mounts)
Side mount bipod $50

Custom 'Oriental' stippling on a German air rifle...priceless!!

Nice setup. I can see your scope is just above the spring tube. Nice. You don't have any problems with Diana barrel droop or recoil-induced walking back?

I have a Diana 350 Magnum (conventional spring piston), but it came to me with high mounts and a Hawke Airmax scope. First, there's a lot of room for the scope to come down if I had lower rings or didn't need the dovetail-to-picatinny drooper base. Second, the stock is not high enough for a normal cheek weld with the current setup. Everything I read about these guns says they are hard to scope, eat scopes for snacks, and are hard to shoot. But this one can shoot. I am just afraid to change anything to make it easier to shoot.

Where did you get the bi-pod? I would like to try a bi-pod out on several powerful breakbarrels I have.

I am trying to recall if there isba set screw (aka grub screw) on the rings nearest to the eye and i don't remember. Doesn't really matter. BRK rings are god send to dovetails. I just wish they made picatinny mounts although I'm not sure if it's possible given how they function. I should mention, I've only ever used their double rings.

Luckily the recoil has never chewed up scopes although i have also heard the same sad song. You also may have heard the stock screws where you break it, do loosen themselves. You can usually tell when/if it gets aggregious as the beech wood stock will clap against the metal action when you grip it so Ive never lost a screw.

The side mount bipod was your'e run of the mill amazon finds. Please note, because i used a pre drilled stock hole for one of the two mounting points for each side of the bipod, it is positioned a little too far forward which is not ideal on a somewhat hold sensitive magnum piston. Not only that but because the bipod is also m lok compatible i had to shallow drill a couple of notches to TRY and get it to sit flush. It is also much more particular in terms of rifle soft case because of the width. In short, the bipod may be go the way of the dodo bird.

Lastly, the donny fl 15mm barrel adapter is amazing. It is such a precise press fit, i'm not even using the set screw and it is pellet on pellet out to 50 yds no questions asked. Night and day compared to my first airgun. A Gamo Swarm Magnum. The only way to hit your target at 10 yds is to chuck the hunk of junk in the appropriate general direction.
