Page 6 - Diana Chaser Kit Reviews

This is so much gun to dhoot just add scope and get stormrider magazine and youll be going to be shooting for a long time just having fun hitting targets on top of each other

Nothing i can think of its a perfect package and price is really good very accurate good power we always want more power right lol

Shoots like a co2 rifle dont need any upgrades just the basics any airgunners will do

Just a fun convertible combo

I needed a light, compact, QUIET, ACCURATE airgun of moderate power for plinking and pest control in my backyard where shots are 20 yards or under. This kit has proven perfect for my needs. I have the .22. I get 35-40 shots Per CO2 cartridge. I use the pistol barrel with moderator, and I use the carbine stock. I have a T-1 clone with 3MOA dot mounted behind the breech port on a very low dovetail-weaver adaptor. This setup is incredibly accurate with all the power I need in the yard, plus QUIET. I have ordered the .177 kit. I have magazines on order but hear CARM mags are better and have ordered those also. No mags have arrived yet so I cannot speak to their quality or effectiveness.

This kit could use an adjustable hammer spring and a wood stock of the same proportions as the plastic carbine stock.

The value is insane. Diana has put a true contender to the Crosman 2240 line of guns into the market. The modification bonanza is already underway.

Lightweight

When shipping dont so tight sillencer.

I can't remove sillencer out of gun.

I like the light weight, design and high quality considering the price point. It is also very quiet.

I was really only interest in the rifle version. So I was disappointed that the case will not hold the rifle unless you take the barrel off. They could have made it so it would fit with the stock removed and the silencer removed- that would be ideal. But having to remove the barrel causes 2 problems: Likely you will need to reset the sights and also, it is not a quick process. Three set screws and as clamp screw and potentially losing an o-ring. The set screws are not robust so not something you want to torque on frequently. With custom foam in the case, the rifle will fit inside with the stock removed (one thumb screw) and the silencer removed. I plan to modify the case as some point like this. Diana should have done this. Also a couple of small quality problems: The silencer is loctited on so near impossible to remove and the front sight bar is about 5 degrees off vertical. I plan to fix this in my mill by moving the ss detent, but not a priority as added red dot sight.

I am very happy with the air gun. It is accurate, and has a great feel. Super quiet. I don't think anyone will regret buying this gun. It is not very powerful, but as long as your are not planning on game hunting and bring home dinner.

Everything (almost). Lightweight, quiet, and accurate, reasonably priced, what more can you ask for?

The iron sighting system. At least on the one I received. Completely useless; using maximum adjustments couldn't get to shoot anywhere near the bullseye.

The addition of even a modest sighting system, in my case an inexpensive reflex sight, turns this thing into a tack driver. It's as near silent as any airgun I've shot, and for the modest velocity that you get from CO2 it whacks the target with enough authority to be a decent ratter out to about 20, maybe, 30 meters. It's a lot of fun on targets too, with groups often ending as one ragged hole.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants something with "enough," but not "too much," power for around an urban neighborhood setting.

Good value and perfect for backyard plinking. Accurate and quite.

Please let customers apply loctite. My pistol barrel O rings were caked over.

I used hardened metric hex drivers to remove set screws in breach. Use vise and wood blocks to grip pistol barrel to break loctite. Pulled some patches to clean barrel before use.

Flexible, accurate, easy to use.

Nothing

I bought one for my wife for backyard plinking and rodent control. She really likes the weight, the feel, and especially the trigger.

Light and accurate , the best combo is the hand gun with the rifle handle combo.

Nicely machined, fit and finish was excellent. Right out of the box and was spot in with open sights. Put a red dot I had laying around and sighted it in at about 25 yards and once in the zone maintained quarter size groups. I did remove the suppressor from the long barrel ( used boiling water trick) and have put it on the pistol barrel with the shoulder stock and love this thing. Sound is near nothing and very consistent groups. For the cost it is a good one.

Don't locktite the suppressor to the long barrel!

price

the amount of lock tight that is applied to all the screws, cant seem to get the pistol barrel because of it. got the screws out but for some reason the barrel does not to want to come out, same with the attachment on the rifle barrel will not come off without almost breaking something.

I like everything about this gun, all the features, accuracy, everything

Nothing, maybe a magazine that held more pellets,just a great little gun

First off, really give the barrel a very thorough cleaning, I mean thorough, solvent , brush, almost like a old black powder burner ,after a good cleaning,oil it and shoot thousands of pellets, then more, have had mine a couple years or so, very accurate, gets 56 shots out of 12 gram co2, the last 4 shots are kinda slow, but other than that, just great.

For this being made in China it is very nicely made. Feels pretty solid and the parts fit together well. Pretty close to a precision fit for the barrels so when swapping them out you may have to play with them a bit so the pellets seat easily. Sights were spot on out of the box. I have the .177 and it makes more noise hitting the target than it does firing.

Knowing it's a co2 it's too bad they couldn't squeeze another 50 fps out of it. Then it would be a viable hunting gun. Good for sparrows or small pests. Wish it were offered as a pistol (it is) rifle alone or the combo. I most likely will never use the pistol since I have put a scope on it. Wish the silencer wasn't glued on so it could be put on the pistol. It's too loud for back yard shooting which is why I probably wont use it.

I purchased this thru Amazon so I'm not a verified purchaser. It's a real nice plinking pellet gun. I have read about the bolt breaking off. The bolt protrudes out of the back of the receiver when cocked. I just push the back of the bolt back into the receiver with my thumb to close it so no issue. Really thinking about a Diana PCP if all their guns are made this well.

The gun feels solid, not like cheap plastic. The pistol and rifle sights were spot on at 10 yards. I kept hitting an 8 ounce aluminium can over and over. I purchased the .177. Super quiet as a rifle. At first I thought have I used up the co2 already? No, it's that quiet-seriously!

Wish it had a bit more power. At 10 yards I wanted to pick off a few squirrels that have been tearing my bird feeders apart. I caught one "in the act" but the pellet didnt go in just made it jump to the ground. Shot it again and it jumped and ran off. Wish the suppressor wasn't put on with thread locker, would like to put it on the pistol.

Very light weight and a fun plinker but dont think it will do much damage to anything. I shot a soft cedar board (my fence) at 50 feet. The pellet just barely went in the length of the pellet (1/4"). It might be effective on sparrows.

Super quiet. Really accurate. Great price

Both rifle and pistol barrels sights are canted.

In my opinion, the best CO2 gun for the money! Great target shooter, plinker, and garden defender.

The accuracy , the build quality it a lot for a decent price. It very quiet in the rifle mode

The rear sight on the rifle may interfere with the scope you plan to put on it specially if longer and has larger diameter optics and the mounts you have. It's very accurate but not very powerful but that is not something I want. Love the accuracy and how quiet it is won't disturb anyone!

I bought the rifle kit and one storm rider magazine. Function perfectly. Very quiet wow sounded like pulling the trigger on an empty gun.gum came as a pistol very easy to convert to rifle.

Maybe sell it with two mags make silencer easy to change to pistol barrel

Fun gun accurate real quiet unpack on clay pellet stop was louder

A++ this is the best little gun available,I havent used it in just the pistol , only in the add on rifle, accuracy is perfect, Co2 is great

Nothing well add the rotator magazine ,

Buy it !

The Chaser is a bit flimsy. The barrel breech seals are to easily damaged when removing and replacing the barrel, when changing from pistol to rifle modes. The barrel seal were the pellet is placed is to easily lost, when doing a barrel change. I tried to order more barrel breech seals and barrel pellet entry seals, but PyramydAir responded initially about me ordering same, but never got back to me, to place an order. Also, the front sight is twisted (to the left) and shaped on an angle (not flat). The rear sight is maxed out to the right and not sufficient to move my shot pattern to were it needs to go. Also, its shoots to low and the rear sight is maxed out to its limit. If I try and make the proper adjustment, the screw comes entirely out: need a longer sight screw or ??? The rifle is consistent in holding its aim, albeit to much to the left. If I aim slightly right, I can move the shot group over, but I shouldn't have to intentionally shoot right to do that.

Ease in ordering the flimsy seals. If these are so easily damaged or lost, they should be easily available for order. If, in the pistol/rifle combo barrel changes, you never change the barrels, then the possibility of damaging or loosing these small and fragile seals would be much less of a problem: again, make these seals readily available. The Chaser could be made much better with not much effort in manufacture and parts availability.

The cocking lever is also a bit flimsy. Some manufacturer's pellets need a bit of extra push on the cocking lever and could cause this lever to break. A remedy for this that I saw on the Internet is to push the pellet home by pushing on the back of this lever, instead of on the bolt arm extension itself.

I saw on the Internet a newer version of the pellet magazine, that appears to make pellet loading the magazine easier. I don't know if the new design also makes loading the pellets, into the barrel easier, as some manufacturer's pellets or the pellet shape itself is the problem

Very good , they didn't skimp on the quality , fasteners aren't soft , theres not a lot of plastic doesn't feel like a cheap air rifle and the trigger is excellent compared to some others I have had to do some filling and polishing.

When Mounting a scope the rear sight for the rifle barrel could cause you some isues had one that works but just made it had to trim the Len's cover so I could still use it , not a big deal.

If I paid extra to have someone pick out a good one and to test and select a good one I would have gotten my money's worth. Tried with open sights was very happy not one flyer nice group put the scope on was more than pleased and if you're home is your range this is very quiet you will not bother anyone . Was shooting metal spinners after ajusting the scope and hitting the spinners made more noise than anything else. This is one very accurate air rifle and seems very happy with the pellets I had on hand some gammo pointed and wadcutters
