Since this is about two brands I put this under other. Just wonder which would you consider the best and why. I haven’t owned either but will start. Keep in mind the price difference. That is advantage is Diana. Made in : a tie as both are Germany. The warranty goes to R9. Lifetime vs a year ? Which shoots the smoothest out of the box? Most accurate out of the box? Thoughts please
 
I'd say hw ..

That was don't fall in much favor I guess. Some like it but a lot don't .. then it's hard to guess how much chinas involved / Dianapeak. Then supposed to be modular and all but who's got any of that for it ? Ol' hw/R is tried and true and solid and in my opinion no comparison .


A lot of fun was poked at the ems back when. ..

Chinglish? ..lol
 
The R9 was the first gun I planned to buy last year when I got back into airguns in a real way. It was out of stock everywhere so I thought id get a Diana 350 in .22,....that was outta stock everywhere up here, so I ordered one from P.A. but they cancelled the order as I live in Canada lol. (border hassle not worth it) For my springer I settled on a Air Arms TX .177 and am now a bit of a springer snob🤣 In my mind I'd go with the R9 between the 2 of them as well, little more power than the TX too, which caliber you thinking about getting @Doc Holiday ?

If R9 or Diana definitely .22. If R7 it will be .177
 
In .22 Diana maybe a bit stronger .. hw you kinda take a fps hit in .22 . For me I prefer stronger in .22 for hunting .

Anyway blue line looks to sell direct . There the distributor for Diana here .

I think I'd like to risk and try the Diana 350 mag in .22 personally. I don't think it works I'd be bad but a good fit caliber to gun .. 🤔

I have no idea what that last sentence means .. it's so changed I don't even know what I actually wrote .. no clue ..
 
The modularity of the EMS doesn't really do much for me, unless I "could have only one" because I'd want to change my calibers up.

But I really like the 34 in general, and with the T06 it can go toe-to-toe with the HW95.

That said, I lean HW95. It just seems a little nicer/better to me, and I think it's the stock and sights that make the difference to me.
If your the type of shooter that removes their sights anyway, then the difference is truly subjective.

Just my two cents...

Open sight guy myself
 
I think that 350 m not the p panther in .22 would do fine .. especially after a nice tuning / tame it ..

Diana Air Rifle 350 Magnum Premium cal. 5.5mm (.22)

I think AoA was out of stock to use ham points to help a deal .🥴

I also noticed at blueline was the 350 ntec was not listed .. I liked it's stock with it's hamster looking bulge in front of the trigger guard area .

I guess the ntec was not too well received . Almost seems what guns have it today once sold out that's all folks ..

So another kick to that ems modular system flop ..lol
