Diana Panther

I just got back from the Diana agents... the following 2 models are available:

31 Panther (R2999) , 1000 ft/s

and the 21 Panther (R1950), 600 ft/s


Forget about the fact that synthetic stocks normally suck. The stocks don't have that hollow plastic feel that you get from the Gamo Shadows. It actually feel very solid and the rifles are very well balanced.

*** NEW *** Winchester




The Winchester 1000X is an extraordinarily good air rifle. It is accurate and powerful. The Walnut stock really dresses up the rifle and one quickly overlooks the plastic sights, trigger guard & trigger. The trigger has no creep and is a medium pull. It is a long pull, but most of the distance takes almost no effort, just the let off requires about 4-5 pounds of force to release the spring. In a Magnum air rifle, that is about right ....READ THE FULL REVIEW

Weihrauch HW57 Underlever Air Rifle


The HW57 is a slimmed down version of the HW77, the major differences being the lack of a loading port and the inclusion of the pop-up breech. It's a a superb lightweight full power under-lever hunting rifle with fully adjustable open sights. It also has the excellent Rekord trigger.

The rifle is cocked using the underlever, this in turn releases the pop-up breech, the pellet is inserted, the breech is then pressed back down into the firing position - no chance of trapped fingers with this system.

Very accurate and the best buy in it's price class.

The best mid-priced rifle available in South Africa

Weihrauch makes some of the finest spring airguns in the world. They have been doing so since shortly after World War II. The HW50 Mk2 fills the gap that was left when the quality of BSA went down the drain. The trigger is good, the rifle is light, the finish is perfect and the accuracy is awesome.

People always want to know how it compares to a Gamo. Well let me put it this way…

With the HW50 mk2 you just pay for the quality of the rifle, NOT like with the cool looking Gamo's where half the cost goes into useless plastic bits that they put on the rifle to disguise the fact that it is not nearly as good as you thought. The HW50 might not have the same power as a Gamo Shadow or CFX, but you will hit the target more often. Not only that, but by the time you have repaired the Gamo twice, the HW50 is just reaching it peak, and it will stay at that level for years.

This is probably the best rifle in its price range …no wait lets rephrase that.

IT IS DEFINITELY THE BEST IN ITS PRICE RANGE.

Before you contact me and tell me I’m full of crap and how happy you are with your Gamo. Answer this question first… “have you ever used a top brand rifle before?”. If not, give it a try… you’ll see the difference.

Setting the trigger on the QB78 and 79

NB this is NOT a tuning guide, but just some instructions on how to set the trigger.

The QB 78's trigger is adjustable for sear engagement, pull weight, and over travel.

Start by removing the action from the stock: undo the knurled nut in the forearm and put the safety to the safe position. Using a non-marring punch (such as a wooden dowel), push the safety out from the trigger unit frame. The QB79 have 2 screws in the front of the stock that need to be removed as well.

Looking at the trigger unit, you will notice there are 3 screws used for adjustments:
1. the large screw at the bottom - is for pull weight. Unscrew it 2 turns and test the feel of the trigger (it should be about 1
lb.. however, you can adjust it to your liking).
2. the middle screw - is for overtravel. Screw all the way in to eliminate all the creep.
3. the top screw is for sear engagement and compensation of future wear. DO NOT ADJUST AT THIS TIME. I dont know how long wear will take.

Put everything back together. You'll see an immediate improvement.
