Shot some targets @ 50 yards with the Diana 54

Love the 54!

What scope and mount are you running?

I have a Hawke 4x12x50 with a Diana Bullseye ZR-mount on it. Although I had to do this to the scope, see link, as my groups were wondering all over the place. So, don't think I can recommend the Hawke scopes. (Scope in the pic is not one that I have repaired yet. The repaired scope is a 4x12x40.)

sonny,

Yup the 54 is pretty accurate for a springer but it's just a little ahead of my 52 and 45 which both shoot just a little over one inch or less at 50 yards as well. I think the others are feeling neglected since I got my 54 though. I shoot them off of sandbags with three to four inches of the forearm hanging over the bag.

which Hawke scope is that?

It's an Airmax 4x12x50 it is holding up thus far the ocular bell came loose (on my 4x12x40).

Real world Chrony numbers single shots after I shot a few through the gun to get it ready. Looks like a very consistent 20+fpe gun. Not too pellet fussy either.

Nope, I actually have two Airmax scopes one is 4x12x40 AO (it died) the other is 4x12x50 AO (it is holding up) says so on the outside of the box and on the scope. Also it's fairly plain by looking at the picture that it is a 50mm. The only Vantage I have is a 2x7x32 AO Mil Dot IR. You may want to look at the available Hawke scopes so you know what they have. But remember even this may not show previously made but now discontinued scopes.
