Page 5 - Diana Chaser Kit Reviews

Light,Accurate,Quiet. It is so quiet that it does not seem powerful but then I took the silencer off the long barrel and she really barks. Mine was putting pellets in the same holes, I could not believe it.Ran it through the Chrono and its right at 500 FPS, put a lighter spring in the air chamber and lightly stretched the hammer spring and got 525 with poly mags and 545 with RWS Hobby

Would be nice to have some bolt on extensions for the stock, a little short for an adult but manageable. The bolt seems a little small and weak, hopefully it holds up.

For the price you cannot beat it, buy one and have some fun!

I like how easy it is to convert between rifle and hand gun. I like how easy it is to sight in.

I would like to see a barrel band for the hand gun version. One with out the rifle sights on it. Just thinking it would make it look better.

This thing is a kick in the pants!

Shoots great , good value. friends and family thought it looks cool ; me too. Minimalist design is smartly done.

add a peep sight as standard equipment

Very lite weight - pretty accurate out to 20 yards - looks cool - ease of use - very quite!

I think you missed the boat here! Instead of a co2 window or bleeder hole if this was not there you could have had an adapter for the large co2 canister ! The forearm could be a bit larger, doesn't fit your hand well but is not a deal breaker.

Over all a fun backyard gun!!! The weight of this gun makes it a great starter gun for a kid.

great value

nothing

Great Pistol/Rifle! This air gun is so quiet, with the longer barrel installed, I can plink in my basement during the deep cold. The dovetail mount is really handy! Using the pistol barrel with the brace greatly improved my accuracy. It would be in your best interest to pick up a couple magazines as well. It's really hard to fire quick follow ups when you need to reload the pan for each shot.

An optional suppressed pistol barrel?

Buy more pellets and CO2!

The Diana Chaser rifle is an excellent gun. I love it.

I wouldn't change a thing. But the storm rider Mag is worthless. Does not function smoothly.

Buy the gun but not the mag.

Accuracy is unbelievable no scope just iron sights

I would make it easier to remove the moderator and would make the shoulder stock adult size, other than that all is good.

Very accurate fun gun.Very quiet,back yard friendly.Mi gun likes Air Arms 8.4 gr dome pellets.

I like the convertibility of being able to use it as a pistol or rifle. The silencer is really awesome! It is very quiet. All you will hear is a click of the gun and the thud of the pellet hitting target. The Chaser is one of my favorite pellet guns.

The magazines work, but they just seem to be rather fragile, but most pellet mags are like that, unfortunately. I would also put the barrel attachment grub screws on the side of the breech rather than the top so one could change out the barrel without having to remove the scope.

By all means add a scope! It will mean having to decide on one for pistol or rifle since the eye relief is different. I used a 3-9x 32 UTG Bugbuster compact rifle scope and am very pleased.
The Diana Chaser kit is worth every cent. I totally love mine!

I have reviewed prior. I like the gun. I am reposting to show the change I made to the case.

The case... The gun must be broken down by removing the long barrel and stock to fit in the case. This takes a little time as 3tiny set screws need to be loosened to remove the barrel and on reassembly, you need to re-sight the scope in before shooting accurately. Who wants to do that? There is room in the case if the silencer and stock is removed, so you do not need to break down the barrel. I recut the foam so this can be done. I think Diana should change their design.

Very Lightweight. With the rifle barrel it is very quiet. Just a lot of fun to shoot. Wanted something that was easy to load and shoot for my basement range. It is decently accurate (nickel size at 29 feet) and fun with the diana magazine. Spend more time loading than shooting it seams. Very glad I purchased this. Will be great with some moving targets I am making.

Trigger seems a bit long, but I haven't tried to adjust it yet. The allen wrenches that came with the gun don't fit the trigger adjustment screw. A bit hard to work the bolt when using the magazine. Need to force it sometimes to get the bolt closed.

If using open sights, the pistol sights don't need removed when using the rifle barrel. The rifle sights are above the pistol sights.

The gun is crazy light, but feels of quality not cheap. Easy to shoulder and the look of it is very unique. In rifle configuration it put a 177 7.9 gr Crosman pellet through the chrono at 630 fps, the pistol drops down into the 530 fps range. The swap of the barrel and stock is quick and easy, no play in the stock at the joint, solid connection. Trigger in my opinion is very good, I made no adjustments on it from how it was shipped. The scope rail is short in front of the breech so not the easiest to put a scope on, also need to use high scope rings for magazine clearance. The 12 gram C02 yields about 35-38 good shots. The moderator is very effective and makes this a urban backyard friendly gun.

I wish Diana would not use the red loctite on the barrel to attach the moderator, it makes it extremely hard to get it off and unless you have the right tools and protective jaws for a bench vise you risk messing up the barrel or moderator in trying to get it off. I also think the gun should come with one magazine, and a few more extra barrel O-rings would be nice since O-ring kits are hard to find.

I removed the rear sight and installed a 4 power BSA scope as my backyard range is 55' . As for accuracy surprisingly the short barrel was more accurate then the long. I was getting some serious flyers every 4th or 5th shot with the rifle barrel, I could not get a good group to save my life. I cleaned the barrel not much change. I suspected the moderator may be the issue since there is not one on the pistol barrel and it was not producing flyers. So I removed the moderator (as I noted a tough bugger to get off) and shot it w/o it, no more flyers. So I took the moderator apart and I saw a little sign of lead on one of the baffles. I rearranged the baffles and made sure they were lined up perfectly and problem solved. I get 3/4" 9 shot groups at 55' with the gun on a Caldwell sled. My favorite set-up is the pistol barrel with moderator, the scope and long stock attached, super fun gun to shoot. As for best pellets, the Gamo Red Line and Crosman 7.9 hollow point so far.

I had purchased the Airbug and loved it. When I saw this kit, I just had to have it. Both are very accurate right out of the box. I thought the left hand bolt would be a problem, but after a few shots, I found that it gave you and advantage. You have trigger control at all times. I liked the two of them so much that I also purchased the Diana chaser in 22 caliber.

I have not had a problem yet, but the only real problem I foresee is getting more barrel O-Rings. You get two sets, but when I switched to the rifle barrel, the ones on the pistol barrel were ruined. It would be nice if Pyramyd Air would have them in stock. I know I will need them! And be sure to clean the barrels before using. It took me 4 patches to get each of them clean.

When you fire with the rifle barrel, the moderator makes it so quite that you think it has run out of C02. Get plenty of magazine and C02. This is really a fun gun and very accurate even for an old guy like me with bad eyes!

The $10 discount.

Actually getting the $10.

They say will give $10 and don't.

I like the accuracy and the trigger pull along with the supposedly interchangeable barrels. (Lies) read below.

I HATE THE FACT THE CONVERSION FROM PISTOL TO CARBINE IS AWFUL. THE SEALS HAVE LOCTITE ON THEM or SOMETHING STRONG. WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING A CONVERSION KIT THAT ISN'T EASILY INTERCHANGEABLE BETWEEN THE TWO. I HAD THE WORST EXPERIENCE BUYING THIS PIECE. MUCH DISAPPOINTMENT BECAUSE I SENT IT BACK TO PYRAMYD AIR TWICE AND THEY STILL COULDN'T GET IT CORRECT!

I wouldn't buy this unless you plan to scrape up your moderator and barrels using tools. Or have to go way out of the way and figure out some kind of vice grip and 2x4 to get these off and cleaned and re-lubed.

It is extremely light, it is extremely accurate even when shooting from a standing position (I'm 71) and it is the quietest airgun I have shot. Love it.

I would put the multi-shot magazine as a standard on this pistol/rifle kit. As I write this, all airgun stores are waiting to stock the multi-shot magazine.

You won't believe how light, accurate, and quiet this airgun is!

Accurate and powerful for target practice and plinking.

I took off the silencer and all of the cylinders fell out and It is hard to put them back correctly.

Yes, You guys are the best!!

light weight-- in .22 caliber as my fingers can't pick up 117 pellets- accuracy is better than I can hold it-- look of 007 movie guns- gas means I don't have to pump nor have my teeth jolted by punch of spring guns- last is ultra quiet as many areas hate gun noises/ oh do like single shot and big bolt

a better platform for scope- maybe closer to 500 fps they said it shot-- mine is 400fps, wish they would tell the truth

these guns are not firearms by law as they shoot at or below 500 fps, that is very important to keep guns off that list as those will be taken first- as the blue bellies take over

Nice, right from the box, putting on a scope to the frist shots. I Like!!

More information on changing the silencer barrel from the pistol to the rifle, the internal parts can fall out

It shoots great, the weight of the gun is well balanced, the bolt can be a bit loose but works good!!
