I bought this one brand new and it was capable to send a 14,3 gn CP in 819 fps giving an output of more then 21 Fp.

With a Bushnell Banner 4-12x40 and a DM60 Dampamount one could shoot 1" groups at 50 yrds.

This are the kind of airguns legends are made from.

Nice shot of a beautiful airgun. Your comments mean a lot coming from a Webley guy!

Hi

I am about to buy a DM60 Dampa Mountfor my 54 and I was wondering if you had any problems with 'barrel droop' when mounting and sighting in the scope?

Kind Regards
Andre

barrel cocker.

Almost al the RWS Dianas have barrel droop, I know my 54 has barrel droop but it is not really a problem, I read once that Diana makes it so on purpose and just found this post from earlier on the forum regarding barrel droop in a 48 sidelever:

Yes, my 48 is very droopy. February 27 2005, 9:19 PM

I was quite surprised when I discovered my 48 has lots of droop. An adjustable mount is required- at least on mine. I use the B-Square AA and it works good.
I posted a question to the Fun Supply forum about why barrels are drooped. I wrongly thought it was a mechanical reason having to do with break-barrel cocking. The answer I got was that it is popular in Europe to shoot 10 meters with peep sights. In order to shoot short distances with a peep and an upright head position, the barrel needs to point down so the rear sight can be high.
Definitely check to see what others say about their Diana side-levers, but mine is very droopy.
Hope that helps,

Is there something anyone can fix?

Thanks!
