    Not aware of any brand specific air rifle distributors in Ireland, plenty in the UK, but not here.

    Most dealers will bring them in for you, but to be honest you're better off just heading to someone with a decent selection and choosing from it unless your need are VERY specific (10m ISSF being the prime example).

    Beyond all of that, there are plenty of break barrel rifles which are FAR better than the Diana for little extra cash. Seriously though, don't buy a cheap break barrel or cheap pellets - nothing will put you off air shooting faster. You're far better off to spend €350 than to waste €250. ;)

    Recommend a visit to Aim & Swing in Mountnugent - Ian has a whopping selection there and something to cover any budget.

    The Diana is a mainstream model - it'll do the job but there are still plenty better.

    I was sighting in a HW90 yesterday for a neighbour and put 5 .177 cal pellets in the same hole at 30 meters (6mm edge to edge).
    Same rifle was producing 12mm groups at 40 meters (and would do better with someone else behind it).

    Proper tackdriver of an air rifle that one!

    Sorry to hear the Eun Jin was gone - you'd have liked that. ;)

    The're a little more than you were looking to spend unfortunately. You're looking at around the €500 mark if memory serves.

    The 'k' is the karbine - it's a little shorter, that's all.


    The lad I mentioned earlier has them - Aim & Swing.
