Things I would have changed:I cannot fit three screwdrivers into my rifle bag. See below. What others should know:I purchased this gun from Pyramydair.com less than a month ago, and have had nothing but problems with it. Every five shots or so, the rear sight shakes loose, regardless of the mounting screws positioning. In other words, I am quite literally always sighting the gun in. Also, the stock simply does not fit the gun --- It actually looks dangerous, as though a pin could fly out. (these pins are above the trigger, and are not visible on any photographs I have seen of 34s.) It appears the stock is supposed to hold these pins in place, but the stock apparently does not fit, nor does it perform this function. Finally, the large, plastic safety housing is very loose. It is impossible to set the safety on or off without grinding its housing against the metal. I've put about 400 pellets through mine, and now have a nice 1-2 inch silver ring where the finish has been ground off the gun. Umarexusa has not returned my calls.
This gun is garbage.

I don''t understand why the company would build such a nice rifle only to skimp on one little teeny trigger. It's not that big of a deal though, deffinetly don't let it stop you from buying the rifle. Another thing is the buttpad, or lack of one. A little rubber there would be nice to absorb some of the recoil What others should know:This gun is great for hunting and plinking. I guess it could have a little more FPS but the caliber of mine (.22) makes up for it. At far distance the pellet will drop considerable though so watch out for that.

I had been using a Crossman 22 pump up and wanted a faster second shot. I was impressed by the power the rifle had. Open sight groups seemed to come and go. I put ordered an air rifle scope for it and had the same problems with groups. Then the scope went south on me. A second scope did the same. This rifle eats scopes. I continued to work with the rifle and finally bought a decent scope for it (you really do get what you pay for). Remember, this was 25 years ago, no internet chat rooms easily available information. The rifle would group well for a few shots and then wander a bit. I put the gun up and would only shoot it occasionally. A decade and a bit later, I found this site and read an article on air guns and found my accuracy problems, it wasn't broken in. I fired nearly 100 rounds thru it over a weekend, just plinking and that was what seteled it down. I bought a better scope mount for it, remounted the scope and it now shoots nickel sized 25 yard groups if I hold it right. Things I would have changed:I would like to see it offered with a recoil pad. I don't know about everyone else, but the recoil bothers me. When I let others fire it, they usually comment on the recoil. I am 56 and have a bad shoulder. I put a slip on recoil pad on mine. It actually helps if i plink a lot. What others should know:BREAK IT IN! Bite the bullet, buy 1000 cheap standard pellets, and spend a weekend breaking it in BEFORE doing anything else. Then mount a scope and try several brands of pellets to se what it likes. The more expensive Beeman and RWS pointed pellets actually rise and go right when fired from mine (when observed from the side) and are useless. Standard Crossman pelets work great and give excellent accuracy. Your will probably like something different. Be patient and learn the gun and you will like it.

Thousands upon thousands of happy owners can't be wrong. Things I would have changed:It is rather plain and "utilitarian" looking. It needs a rubber butt pad so you can stand it up in corners without damaging the bottom of the stock. It has a hefty "kick" that can affect accuracy with an unpractised airgunner (true with any powerful springer).
The scope rail is still the same old one that comes on every Diana rifle and barely gets the job done. (I hope some well-paid German engineer's ears are burning.) But don't let this alone steer you away from this otherwise fine rifle. There are several very effective remedies. The pros at PA can tell you how to overcome it if a scope is important to you. I like to use my 34's fine sights, but Diana could have changed them in the 10 years I've had mine. What others should know:The good old Model 34 has been around for decades and is still the standard by which all economical "do everything" air rifles are judged. My 177 caliber was sweet the first day and just gets better and better with every shot. It has held up to some hard use too, and still looks great.
It is as accurate as my technique. Fair or not, that is why I can only give it 4 stars for accuracy and overall. Face it, if you want to drive nails or win competitions, just skip springers altogether and spend at least $700 for a good mid level (that's right - MID level) PCP with all the required equipment. Many reviewers do give the Mod 34 five stars across the board and I have no problem at all with it. Anyone should be able to take small game and hit near bullseyes at 30 yards after a day of practice with this fine rifle in my opinion. But it isn't the equal of a expensive, recoiless, precharged gun. It is much closer than the spread in cost would lead some to believe however.
The Diana RWS 34 will be passed down to your kids and grandkids. If you want a powerful, quality air rifle that does everything well, but don't want to spend a fortune, look no further. There is no better "all around" air rifle for the price IMHO - period.

The back sight is well-made and easy to use, few shots and I had it sighted. The wood is plain but looks excellent. The gun is a little difficult at first to cock, and a little harsh but after the 200-250 rounds I have shot through it, it seems to be smoothing out. Should be a great shooter once you get about 1000-1500 rounds in it. Very sensitive to hold, and it seems to like RWS hobbys and superdomes. Things I would have changed:The trigger, I have no idea why RWS couldn't just put a steel trigger on it, shouldn't make the gun that much more expensive? What others should know:

A little heavy once you start putting things on it such as a scope, bi pod etc if you plan on doing so. What others should know:Great gun, this is a great place to buy. Affordable, quick shipping, great support.

Read MoreThings I liked:good balance, weight is not to heavy for a shooting session, breaks in quickly Things I would have changed:Two things I have brought forward, the rear sight can be tightened up to 0 side play with a piece of twisty, just back off the elevation screw, lay a piece across the base and reattach the elevation screw, trim to fit . the rear of the stock is slippery and subject to getting scratches, so I put one of those furniture pads for chair legs at top and bottom. What others should know:I have the .177 and the .22, on my first outing shooting a field course from to 10 to 70 yards and with only having the 25 yard distance set on the scope my score was 21 out of 60 , very good for a first time ever. the new Leapers scope mount is a must for best performance from a scope it takes care of barrel droop.

Things I would have changed:I can get over the plastic trigger just because it took me a while to figure out its plastic. You just have to be friendly with it that's all. I am not too thrilled about the plastic safety though I do appreciate an automatic safety especially with a rifle this powerful. The sights are solid and accurate once adjusted (took me about 3 or 4 shots to get it right) though my back drop is usually dark so it is hard to pick out the front sight post. I have heard of people painting the post white which I may try. What others should know:I have tried these 5 pellet types thus far: Mendoza Hollow points, RWS Super dome, Daisy Wad cutter, Gamo Wad cutter, Crossman Pointed pellets. The most accurate of the bunch was RWS super dome where I was able to shoot the tabs off of pop cans at 15 meters. They had a decent penetration whereas they could easily punch through .5" ply board. The second most accurate was the Crossman pointed pellets which had the deepest penetration of them all. I was able to shoot through a 1.5" phone book and lodge the pellet into the .5" ply board at 15 meters. Next in accuracy was the daisy wad cutter as I was still able to shoot tabs off of pop cans at 15 meters it would take on average 2 shots as opposed to the RWS superdome's single shot accuracy. Next to last was the Gamo, these just weren't accurate at all and I am so glad that I bought other pellets to use otherwise I would think that this rifle was not accurate and would be disappointed. I found the Mendoza pellets to be the worst in accuracy of the whole bunch. They also did not fit into the breach as they are too skinny and would fall out. There were also a lot of discrepancies in skirt and pellet shape. I could never get a pellet on pellet shot with those.
I am going to try every pellet RWS offers as I know I won't be disappointed and maybe some heavier Beeman pellets.
Make sure you have the right pellet for this rifle otherwise you may be disappointed.

It has pretty good power, but mediocre acurracy. The stock needs a butt pad. I try to stand this thing up in a corner, if not on carpet, it slides down the wall. Things I would have changed:Make all decent airguns tapped and drilled for scopes, or have rails, and send the open sights as an end user installable option. I think airguns benefit from scopes more so than open sights. What others should know:This is a great first foray into airgunning. It has such a well made feel. Get a good recoil proof scope, and have fun. Try buying some really cheap pellets, shoot it 500 times, then sight it in with pellets that work with it, and enjoy.

It came with checkered stock, rubber butt pad and was all metal. I quess they don't make them like they used to. I have shot about 36-40k rounds thru it over that time and had only 1 problem. A breach seal ( O ring). That was a snap to replace. Accurancy is great. I shoot at empty 9mm cases at 30 yds and hit on reg basis. bench rest of course. Find a pellet that works in your gun and stick with it !!! Reg maintainance is also a must. I clean and lube every 1k rounds or so. that is 2-3x a year for me.

But I havent had a chance to mount it because the B-SQUARE mount i bought was defective and didn't fit the rail. I sent it back and ordered a RWS C-mount it has not yet arrived so I can't realy get the best possible groups. Overall this is a great gun and a great value for your money!

I put a Mendoza Diopter sight to take advantage of the rifles length
& long sight radius, also better for my aging eyes...'Man size' air rifle.

It was my first real airgun in that it was, at the time a serious weapon to me. Over the years I had broken off the sights by dropping it while on a bike, put in a few dings and such here and there but overall it still is in great shape. Reliable peice! Things I would have changed:For the price and what this gun is intended for I cant see any faults. What others should know:Nothing I can think of, This has simply been a reliable, solidly built peice. I cant really comment on accuracy as It only has open sights and up until just a couple weeks ago when I decided to get a more serious air rifle hitting a can 50' away was my definition of accurate. I first got this gun when I was maybe 11 or 12 and I am 22 now and I havent outgrown it.

What others should know:this gun is a very powerfull air gun i love it. its pretty accurate without a scope once you site it in and its a blast to shoot. this is by far my favorite airgun ive ever shot. RWS has made an awsome gun.

I am new to the sport and wanted a quality product that would last. I spent alot of time reading reviews both on this site (thanks Pyamyair!) and on other websites. I chose the 34 based on pricepoint and RWS because they make a product to last a lifetime. Many of their reviews are from folks who have had the gun for 5, 10, 15+ years. My friend has a 48 and with his help I am shooting 1 inch groups at 30 yards. The offset bore I read in the review above seems to compensate for the breakbarrel and does not affect accuracy. I am looking forward to many years of enjoyment with this rifle.

Things I liked:Great finish and well made. Typical German fashion! Things I would have changed:Rubber butt pad would be nice. Offer a muzzlebraked version for those who don't iron sight and opt for scopes. What others should know:Very powerful gun that has a nice tight fit and finish! You have to find the right pellet

Offer a muzzlebraked version for those who don't iron sight and opt for scopes. What others should know:Very powerful gun that has a nice tight fit and finish! You have to find the right pellet to make this gun perform as a tack driver. I use RWS Meisterkugeln and Superdomes with Beeman Field Target Specials and JSB Exact's on the way that were told to me a favorite for the model 34! We will see. Great value for a springer and entry level gun!

Read MoreThings I liked:Good balance and power Things I would have changed:Could use a rubber butt pad What others should know:I think that the RWS 34 Diana Air Rifle has a nice finish, it has great balance, and good accuracy. I have had my Diana model 34 for about 8 years now. It is .177 caliber and does a great job at taking squirrels and rabbits out to 35 yards,(longest distance I have taken game with this rifle). As mentioned in some of the other reviews of springer rifles, this gun does appear to smooth out after a few hundred rounds. ( I have shot about 500 pellets through mine). I topped my 34 with a Daisy Powerline 3-9 variable power scope for about $30. I have shot about 200 rounds with the scope mounted and haven't had a problem with accuracy yet due to the gun's recoil affecting the scope. I shoot 5/8"- 5 shot groups at 20 yards, and I am by no means a rock steady shooter. For $250 total, I have a gun that easily takes small game cleanly and is a joy to shoot. I will never get rid of this gun!

QUIET Things I would have changed:nothing What others should know:The Diana Model 34 .177 has consistently put rabbit and squirrel on my table since I purchased and scoped it. The .22 cal, is appealing but doesn't meet the minimum 1000fps requirements of the state I reside in.

Read MoreThings I liked: I like this gun i have owned it for 18 years 10 years it mostly collected dust one day reading a gun magazine airguns were the topic in one artical and foot pounds of energy was the thing that caused me to rethink about the airgun so i bought a scope for my model34 and started useing it to kill pest animals that were taking our figs plums and pears some shots were 65 yards for a fact some were longer but i am not sure of the distance.I moved on to dove and quail with this gun the best part was until 3years ago all of this took place in the city some neighbors got really mad when i used a 22 rifle even when i shot cci cb,sso this little model 34 was great it was quiet and the people living around me thought i had given my shooting Things I would have changed:I would not change anything i am used to diana airguns What others should know:their are other guns out their but to me diana guns are one of the best.Why i say this is because you know the price going in its a diana some other guns are made by one company sold by another and the price is higher than i would pay.That saidyou get a good product at a fair price,if you do get a lemon this because of what someone else wrote take it back get another one it is a good small game getter.

Rifle I received had the rear of the barrel bored completrly off-center, very close to seal! What others should know:This is NOT a 'good deal' airgun as you could be lead to think. Far from the idea you'd have of german quality manufacturing. The hoopla is very much on the marketing, not on customer support. Poor purchase.

Out of the box, my groups were erratic at best, but after about 50 rds the 34 started to settle down and my groups got much better!! I feel once the 34 has passed its break in period it will provide loads of fun. Things I would have changed:I don't like the feel of the plastic trigger, I wish RWS offered an after market metal replacement. The 34 does have felt recoil, and a butt pad would have been nice. What others should know:To enhance the accuracy of my 34, the front sight blade is angled back toward the shooter from factory. I tilted the front sight blade more on a vertical plane which gave me a better site presence. I also painted the blade white for a better contrast. I also added a Black Hawk AMMO CHEEK PAD which gave me a no slip surface to rest my cheek on during an afternoon of shooting in the humidity of So Fla. In conjunction with a Butler Creek Deluxe "SLIP ON" Recoil Pad (Medium #50326), I can honestly say with those mods my groups are much better. Less felt recoil, better site presentation and a solid cheek placement only enhances accuracy.
