Things I liked:Well made, solid gun for a very reasonable price. Fiber optic sights and T06 trigger are very nice. This was my first air rifle. I bought it after extensive research with the intention of teaching myself to shoot and learning about pellet ballistics and mil dot scopes. It has served that purpose very well and I feel ready for the leap to a high-end PCP rifle in 0.22 caliber.
If I could go back and do it over, I would get this exact same gun again as my first air rifle. Per the recommendation of a PA sales rep, I paired it with a UTG 5th Gen 4-16x40 AO scope and UTG Drooper Scope Rail. This has made for a great setup. Things I would have changed:Nothing. What others should know:For pellet choice, go heavy. Advertised velocity for this gun is 1000 fps. I have found that that is just too fast to get any sort of acceptable accuracy at 20 yards. I tried about 20 different pellets, and my 34P definitely likes slower, heavier pellets. My 10 for $10 test shot 7.1 grain Beeman Lasers at an average of 936 fps. I got relatively poor groupings at 20 yards with 8.2 grain Meisterkugelns, R-10 Match Heavies, and many other pellets of similar weight and different shapes. My gun shoots 9.3 grain RWS Supermags a little better, and shoots 10.34 grain JBS Diabolo Exact Heavies and 10.65 grain Beeman Kodiak Match Extra Heavies even better. However, at 20 yards, my 34P's favorite pellet is the 10.65 grain H&N Baracudas. I have just begun to push the distance out to 40 yards, and early results are the same. I have therefore found, which should be no surprise, that my RWS 34P in 0.177 simply likes slower heavier pellets. This is a high-powered spring gun. Lighter, faster pellets sacrifice accuracy to an unacceptable level (for me). Things I liked:Had a Benjamin Trail NP AW I returned it Because the RWS 34 P is That MUCH Better, I like Accuracy, Iron Sights are excellent, accuracy, feel & balance, weight of gun, stock feel & width, ergonomics of gun, love the auto safety & it's location, it is easy to switch from safe to fire. The RWS 34Panther is a Excellent gun and it is a professional gun. my Crosman Trail was just a Toy and was not accurate Things I would have changed:I would Not change this gun as it is Perfection, right out of the box What others should know:Again this gun is perfection!!!! just clean the barrel, and shoot 1000 pellets through it before doing anything. mine was slightly noisy at first, and after 100 shots it was much quieter and smoother, now it is very smooth & quiet, get it you will love Show Other ReviewsCreate an online review and share your thoughts with other customers

Things I would have changed:Absolutely nothing
What others should know:I just cant say enough about how impressive Diana guns are out of the box. I hardly shoot my other springers. My Dianas have better triggers & accuracy which means more fun shooting. Also the purchases through PA have been great & the shipping fast & well packed. Thanks again PA!!
