Hello Diana Brothers,
I got my Combro 625 chronograph and took it to the range.
The guns:
Diana 24 (.22) only 100 to 200 shots (new)
Diana 34 (.22) brand new (not shot before, out of the box)
Diana 27 (.177) 1971
Feinwerkbau LP65match (.177) 1980
Every pellet: 5 shots, these are the averages:

Conclusion: Both the new Dianas 24 and 34 get higher velocities than advertised by Diana, even though they are both new. I bought them after coming to know this website
The 27 gets the same velocities as a new 24 (.177) as advertised by Diana. (www.diana-airguns.de) This may be fine, since this gun is a lot more beautiful and sleeker than a 24, but I think it needs a new spring. (Does Maccari or Venom offer parts ??????) ... a very smooooth 27 ......
The Feinwerkbau ... pathetic.
So, that's it. I hope it was informative and shows that Dianas live up to their promises. And how do they shoot ? Very accurate ! And a 24 and a 34 look a lot alike and make a cute combo.
CU !

PS: This weekend I will be chronographing my new Weihrauch 97K (.177) which will arrive friday. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the 34 would be more powerful.
