Diana 280 .177

New here and just recently got back into the game from a 12 year hiatus.

Picked up this t06 .177cal D280 premium and matched her up with a hawke vantage 3-9x40 and an air venturi muzzle break.

Gotta say I sure missed having a high quality German break barrel, and such a sweet shooter at 12ftlbs.
Hold sensitively is minimal and shot cycle is short, smooth, and quick.
Ive got no complaints on the t06 trigger either, I actually kinda prefer it over the HW record due to the blade being closer to the grip.

Most importantly though, she prints:

(JSB exact express 7.9gr .452 28yrds 5 shots)

Suprised these never got much fan fair, I like it better then the HW50s I once had years back.

Little bit of an update:

Noticed this thing has gotten a little bit more powerful as it's breaking in with a tin of pellets through her (can now fully pass through 3/4 inch fence board vs before when new it would just barley stop before passing through).

The accuracy of this break barrel continues to amaze me...
