Thinking on getting an airgun for backyard plinking and came across this
177cal at 1000fps or 22cal at 850 .Its basically a Diana 460 with the military style stock
I think it would be, a fun gun to play with
I also found this aGeco model 28 in excellent condition for close to the same price .Now I have a decision to make
This is going to be my birthday present so my wife says pick one
Diana Mauser 98 air rifle

I like the Geco! Looks a lot like my Yugo M-56 and it's a real tack driver.

Re: Diana Mauser 98 air rifle
I like the Geco also. I've shot one of the Diana Mausers---they definitely could work a person if you shoot them fifty shots or so---they are not bad to cock but require some effort. I have a friend who has one and he broke a plastic part on it---I'm not sure what the part does---I didn't ask, but he is having trouble getting just the part without returning the rifle----I'm not sure if the part breaking is a common issue or just a one off.

Re: Diana Mauser 98 air rifle
Ya though I like the mauser I m kinda leaning towards the geco
Re: Diana Mauser 98 air rifle
I have a side lever Diana and it's of the very highest quality. Fine German craftsmanship. A bit on the heavy side, and like someone mentioned, a bit of a bear to cock.
