Diana 350 Magnum Striker Combo Reviews

The 350 is typical German made Diana quality. Fit and finish is top notch. The T06 trigger is adjustable, but is already set nicely from the factory at around 2.5lbs. It's a magnum springer, but it's not terribly harsh in the firing cycle. Built like a tank, and a well made gun that's well worth the price.

It's a fairly heavy rifle, and for hunting and pest control I carry it more than I shoot it, so provisions for mounting a proper sling would be a welcome addition. It's easy enough to install a sling swivel stud in the stock, but for the front you'll need a steel barrel mounted clamp of proper dimensions. I'd happily pay extra to have that included.

At 48" muzzle to recoil pad, this is a long rifle. It's also fairly heavy, and the cocking effort is around 45 pounds. This is by no means a youth rifle or a gun for people who cannot safely handle the cocking effort. That being said, it's a fine shooting rifle that isn't ammo picky or overly hold sensitive. A consistent and powerful workhorse rifle. It's a keeper.

Power and accuracy.

More adjustment on rear sight.

Long back-order time. Took approximately 8 months to get. Hopefully this has resolved.

All I thought it would be. Very accurate, powerful and just a quality air rifle. The wood stock makes it look like like a high priced hunting gun.

Not much. I knew it would require more effort to cock

This is one of the best springers in .22 caliber you can buy

Accurate

Have the gun shipped with a muzzlebreak

After waiting over 2 months for my rifle to arrive, finally excitement, my gun had shipped. 4 days later, open the box to find a 25cal Benjamin. Had to ship back, wait another week for the correct gun to arrive. Friendly customer service agent Chad, no longer friendly when I emailed him about a couple of questions with this rifle. Still haven't had a reply, 7 days later. Will not buy anything else here.

Classic wood stock, nice blueing and scope .

Heavier than I thought it would be. Pretty stiff spring until you shoot a couple hundred rounds.

the 350 is a powerful solid gun, beautiful and nicely made, something you'd want to keep in the family.

the mantis scope broke within 50 shots, however pyramid air sent me a replacement, i would of included the bullseye mount instead of the one piece mount so you'd never have the possibility of this powerful gun breaking a scope.

use locktite on all screws or they will come loose, this gun is a hunter ,its heavy and solid, not something 'id' want to plink all day with, its very accurate with the open sites and hits hard. you'll know quality when you see it and the 350 mag is one of those guns.

Excellent all round air rifle with superior power and accuracy.Well built.

weight

use good quality pellets.

The scope, the power. I put it down for 2 years, pick it back up and it works as great as when I last used it. Likes most pellets. I like the scope, its decent. If you hit a squirrel in the head with a .22 pellets its donezo. I also hit a squirrel in a tree a 100 yards away.

It has quite a kick and knocks the scope put of whack every so often. It only requires a couple of clicks. Can be frustrating if it goes whacky and you are trying to shoot something like a squirrel or bird

When mine lost power it just needed a couple drops of the rws silicone lube. Then back to busting through spray paint cans like paper. Can make it completely through 2 cans and through 1 side of the 3rd can with Skeno pointed ultra mag pellets no long available. Likes all HN pellets except the super point. Likes jsb 18.12 gr. As well. That's what I shot for my 100 yard hit. Pretty much likes any HP pellet and doesnt like anything pointed except ultra mag hp with either metal or plastic tip. Super happy with this purchase, still enjoy shooting it a lot.

It's a heavy gun and seems solid.

Nothing on the weapon itself. My complaint is with the ordering process. When I received my gun the first time it was the wrong caliber. I had to spend my time to re-package the product and then take it to a Fed-Ex location. When the correct caliber gun arrived it didn't contain the proper equipment to mount the scope. I'm still waiting on that equipment.

Buyer beware.

Well made.Good fit and finish. Scope ships unmounted but should be no problem for anyone with basic skills. Zeroed at appx 30 yards and has held its mark. This is my first barrel break so the the spring tension is higher than expected, but manageable. Overall the weight is also a bit on the heavy side. Weight and tension are both in the specs so no surprises there. I've only shot around 100 rounds so far but I like what I've experienced so far.

I was going to utilize the 20 for 20 option and have Pyramid mount and zero the scope. This included an unwanted charge for a carrying case that I did not want. I should think that Pyramid can repackage and ship for less than the cost of an unwanted case.

Overall nice air rifle. No surprises.

Absolutely everything! Sold that same model 3 yrs ago to help purchase camera equipment to start my Photography business and boy did I miss Diana !

This has nothing to do with the make of the Rifle but the packaging, received mine with the styrofoam blocks out of place and the rear sights broken.

Please get this rifle !

This is a very powerful and accurate air rifle. I have had other brands and so far this is the best. I bought the 20 for 20 from PA, and it was almost a perfect shot. Only had to move left two clicks on scope for perfect zero. So far i have shot two different pellets with the same accuracy. You will know when you cock and shoot the first time it is a quality air rifle.

Nothing yet. I have only had the rifle two weeks.

A little heavy but that adds to stability for me. It does take a little effort to cock. For a spring rifle it is still pretty smooth.

I could not even put this thing together. In order to mount the scope, you have to put a compensation mount on the gun. At first I did not even notice that instructions came with the mount. Only after trying unsuccessfully to slide the mount on did I find a Youtube video that mentioned that there were instructions hidden in the packaging. After following the instructions, I was unable to install the top screws back into the mount. I bought this gun to hunt squirrels. The gun itself is way too heavy and powerful for what I want it for.

Pyramyd should ship combo items assembled. The compensation mount was designed by a sadist. The gun is way too powerful for squirrels, and too heavy also. Pyramyd should say what the gun is primarily for. It seems inefficient for people to order guns and then they are not appropriate for the desired use.

What an awesome rifle. Quality the power is something else. Really sharp looking German gun. My first Diana. I love my springers. A lot of fun to shoot. Couldn't be happier. Super accurate!!! Scope and mount work very well

Really nothing!! Mybe price of course

3 tin break in period. Very frustrating till you hit that break in point. Took awhile to find the right pellet. Mine likes H&N 14.66gr. Chronys at 865 steady. Deadly accurate. Not quite as nice as my HW90 but this springer will put a smile on your face. Second favorite of all my rifles. You must be patient with this gun. Worth the wait. It's a fun challenge to shoot!!! Must have if you love springers.

I very high quality air rifle for the money . Outstanding trigger out of the box . The sights are very excellent quality . The wood matches the rifle very nicely .

nothing .

I highly recommend the .22 cal version on this model . Up to 25 yards there is no need for scope if your eyes are working good . I can cover a 5 shot group with a nickel most of the time off of sand bags with iron sights at 20 yards. I have not tried the scope yet . Mine likes the RWS Meisterkugeln and RWS superdome . For best accuracy use a light hold .

The things I like about this beauty is just about everything. There was a moment in the break in process (still really breaking it in), I became a little bummed out that this rifle involved so much work between cocking, artillery hold, buying and seroing a great Hawke scope...I felt like going back to my Gamo (which there is nothing wrong with, it's a very sweet .22 Silent Stalker IGT Whisper). But I stayed with the RWS (I've had a 34 for many years). I made peace with it. Loosened it up with lots of shooting. Today I nailed an egg on top of a glass bottle at 50 yds., didn't touch the glass. For me, that's awesome and exciting. The squirrels and crows and a few coyotes were on the corner waiting for the next bus out of town after that

I like shooting heavy pellets, in particular, Eunjins. The RWS doesn't take their wide profile.

Many shooters believe the RWS Magnum is the best break barrel on the market. I'm starting to agree. Make sure you have a more than decent and stable scope secured on this big boy rifle. You know you've been shooting after dancing with the Magnum. I stared at this weapon every day for months online and finally went for it. It already holds second place on my rifle rack. Number one is a .25 cal PCP. It's close...

the accuracy and power are more than I expected. The scope was a great fit for this rifle. I was able to get 3 shots at 30 yards within .125. Two of those were in the in the same hole(shooting at a phone book the pellets were on top of each other). The weight was heavy but I liked it. The trigger was better than I expected out of an air rifle, crisp and smooth. I was also surprised at the stock quality. The recoil pad was also a great addition. This was my first air rifle of this kind of quality(and price) and I can honestly say it isn't cheap but you get what you pay for. I will have to hide this from my son and no he wont be getting this for Christmas.

I would change the length of the butt stock to accommodate for a longer length of pull. The sound from firing was also louder than I expected. I did get a slight workout after 40-50 shots and rearming so I would change the force necessary (if possible). Some wish lists might not be possible do to the power of this rifle. I would love to see 1300fps from a .22 if possible.

yes that you will love the power and accuracy.

Pyramyd Air's Customer service! I ordered this Combo late, with the 20 for 20 option, but I really needed it fast and didn't want to pay the freight for quick delivery. Pyramyd came through, and gun arrived ahead of schedule. I like the construction of the gun, the scope and the overall feel of a quality product. Plus the 20 for 20 option allowed me to pull the gun out of the box, take it to the back yard where my brother had spotted a treed raccoon (same varmint that was wrecking havoc with my bird feeders). One shot 25-30 yds with nothing done to the scope right out of the box and I do not have to worry about him any more. This is a powerful, heavy gun, and super accurate.

Make it easier to cock! Although it seems to get a little bit easier after 30-50 pellets have been fired. Maybe have an option for a synthetic stock would cut down on the weight. If I had to walk very far, I'm not sure I could drag the gun with me.

Don't buy an air gun from anyone else! When you order yours, be sure and opt for the 20 for 20 set-up option. When you do the 20 for 20, remember you will have to buy a case if you are ordering a scope since the rifle + scope will not fit back in the original box.

Didn't expect quality to be so good with everything these days being made so cheaply, but this gun feels and looks like a good quality gun, better yet it shoots great, right out of the box prior to mounting scope, shot 5 shot 1/2 inch groups at 25 yards, It surprised me it shot so well.

Nothing

Front sight possibly could have been more solid, plus metal trigger guard wood be nice, but I'm afraid them days are over.

The construction, the power, the wood.. it is superb. The recoil is hard too. It reminds me of my .357 magnum S&W. However this is a spring rifle, don't forget that. I am new on scopes so I don't know how good this one is. Right now I have 1.5 inches groups at 25 yds. Hope to get better as I get used to the recoil. Niiice trigger!

Hard to shoot standing up; it is a heavy rifle. Leaning against a tree or using a branch to take some weight out of your arms is a bonus.
