Called up Umarex yesterday looking for a 34 Carbine.... none available and a carbine barrel for a 34 runs maybe $145... I as we were talking he said he had a Shutze in .177, which was ordered. The last time I called Umarex looking for a demo/refurb 34 Carbine I ended up ordering two 34 Panthers.
Now he did say that he had these available: a 300, 46, 5G so if anyone is interested in these closeouts/demo/refurbs give Umarex a call...
Sco, the may be interesting info for some of the guys on this forum. The Diana 300 would be an interesting gun. A underlever right? I don't know much about this gun. Was it a 460 prototype? I see where the last msrp was about $550. I believe they stope making this gun. This might really be a smart buy for someone.
Re the 300r - it is a 46 in 460 clothing (i.e. the 460 stock came from the 300r). It has a 7 round magazine. Shoots great. The only issue is I need to be careful to return the cocking handle slowly to its locked position as a (fragile) little plunger comes out and pushes the next pellet in the barrel. So if you do it too harshly and the plunger breaks because something wasn't working right, its a $42 dollar replacement part (ask me how I know!). They are suppored to shoot a little less fps than a 46, but mine has always been a little more than my 46's.
Does anyone know what type of seal this rifle uses? Small Apex or Large? Spring diameter, length?
I haven't received the rifle yet but am planning on a small lube/polishing/deburring job and if it's anything like my 34's it will need to be deburred and a knicked seal replaced...
I have a 460. I have no idea where this gun's heritage came from. When I bought it, it cost a small fortune. I have noticed that prices on the used models keep dropping all the time.I don't even think JM even carries a kit for it any more. I had mine detuned and it is a good shooter. That said, I wish I had spent that much money for a TX, or HW.
I was looking for a Demo 24 or 240 but Umarex had none.Anyway could you give price with shipping on the Demo 240 Rifle. I have a Great Custom 24 Thumb hole Stock NEW, the 24 action is in Good shape but would Prefer a 24 or 240 action in Excellant or Like New to put into this Great Custom Stock.If you decide to Flip the RWS 240 Demo Email me with Price.Im still trying to find out if the 240 actio fits in a RWS 24 Wood stock.So far nobody knows . Thanks ! Also hows the 240 Trigger ?
