Is this the Diana Chaser that you have? I’d like to hear more about it. I’m thinking about building up a light carbine for my nephew for his birthday. It’s not until October but I’ve been kicking around the idea. Please tell us about power level, shot count and noise level And general overall opinion. Thanks.

I have the Diana Chaser kit. You can get it from Pryamyd Air. The kit comes with the pistol, a carbine barrel and a rifle barrel with a moderator attached. You will want to remove the moderator from the rifle barrel and that is not easy as it glued with red loctite. You will need a heat gun. look on u-tube lots information there to help with that. Once you have the moderator free, it can be used on all three barrels. Using the moderator will make the gun backyard friendly. Otherwise IT IS LOUD. MY gun is in .22 caliber and I have modified the valve and hammer spring.to get a little more power. I get about 35 good shoots before the power drops. I wouldn't hesitate to take a squirrel at twenty yards. The gun also comes in .177. I am sure you can get well over 50 shots per capsule in the .177. The .177 might make more sense for a young fella. There is a guy from South Africa on u-tube that has a world of information on these fine little guns. Also, here on AGN, member Marlow knows everything there is to know about these guns. You might look up the BUCK RAIL site. They have some great mods for the Chasers, drop in stocks and such. If I can help. Just holla. OH, about power. MY gun will shot JSB 14.5g at 600fps that makes about 13fpe.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Chaser. That’s just what I was looking for. I probably would be looking at .177 and maybe even tuning down for more shots. I was leaning more toward a Crosman 2240 type carbine at first but the Chaser also sounds like it could serve the same purpose. I also do really like Buck Rail products. Thanks again,

Yes the Chaser is a great shooter. I also have the .22 Chaser kit from PA, but I think the higher velocity and shot count in 177 would be a real winner. My gun is not modded and I get around 40 shots per cartridge. It's accurate enough for pest control and plinking.
I put a red dot on mine because the stock plastic rear sight was flimsy and the front blade sight was tilted. You may have better luck from the factory.
