What’s the rated FPS with c02 ?

I have a few co2s.

That’s damn good with a laser

Don’t they make a pcp version ? Would be easy to hand pump I’d think

Hello @Perle

You know I have not used my crony to check the FPS on this pistol but it most likely not too high. However it will impale a pellet deep into a pine 2x4 at 10-meters.

Love shooting at night with that Laser. I have it zeroed in at 25-yards and that is as far as I will shoot at night.

Yes the Diana Bandit is the PCP version of the Chaser, they both use the same magazine in the same caliber. I have 4 CARM mags and 1 factory mag. The Diana Stormrider rifle is the big brother to these pistols and use the same mag.

You can convert a Bandit with the Buck Rail accessories just like I did the Chaser, it make a really nice Carbine.

Yes sir, 22 grains of wallop. They are best below 20 yards or so, but they sure hit hard.

The Bandit with a 3,000 psi fill and 8.64gr H&N FTT starts with a solid 900 fps and drops to 700 by shot #20. Pretty steep velocity drop curve shot over shot. Maybe 30-35 useful shots per fill. Regards

Wow Im impressed with that shooting at 25 yards! I shot my 2289 for the first time at 25 yards (iron sights) and I had mostly 2.5" grouping and I was happy.

Hello @Simplemann

Thank you, but without the scope I could not hit the target.

I have the Diana Caser rifle co2 in .22 caliber. After deburring the barrel, tightening the hammer spring, polishing the trigger and resetting the sear (1lb trigger). It shoots a JSB 13.4 gr pellet at 610 fps, 12 fpe. It gets 25 to 30 good shoots per capsule at 25 yards. Squirrels and rats DOA. I mounted at Hawke 4x32 A O scope. My grandson and I are having fun. THE thing on the end of the barrel is very back yard friendly.

Great package when all assembled for the price.

Still damn good. The accuracy is very surprising

Forgive me I’m just waking up …. So @ 315 totally kitted out sans optics

That’s a bargain.

How many guns I’ve accessorized for a hell of lot more than 115 and well …. This is a bargain.

Gotta find that puppy on sale ….. hmm. Black Friday approaches 💭

Hello @Perle

Yes sir you are correct. A lot of members here on the Forum have converted their Dianas using the Buck Rail equipment. Most of what I have read has shown that pretty much everyone who owns a Bandit has found them to be very accurate and just pure fun to shoot.

My weather has turned really bad this morning, cold, windy and rain so I will do my maintenance on my compressors and change scopes on two different guns. Then I will be ready :D
