Page 7 - Diana Chaser Kit Reviews

I purchased the .177 version. This Co2 gun is perfect for pest control, specifically if you are hunting inside a barn or warehouse. It has plenty of kill power and is a tack driver. I have been very pleased with the accuracy of this gun. It is super light weight, so you can hold you aim for a very long time.

It took a little while to get the barrel lined up, but once in position, it was impressive to shoot.

The barrel has to be lined up perfectly for the bolt to function smoothly. It took a while to finally get this part right. Not all .177 will chamber in this gun.

Accuracy and the moderate makes this the best back yard plinker. Even taken a few pest with it.

The single shot tray for lack of a better word sucks.

Would definitely recommend getting the stormrider magazine to go with this. The single shot tray tends to cause the pellets to snag when clambering. I purchased the stormrider magazine and found chambering much smoother. I'm not sure why but if I had to take a guess I believe there's a difference in the thickness of the tray and the base of the magazine that allows easier loading.

everything accuracy looks quallity

removeable muzzelbrake

bought 2 of these so I could have a long barrel and a short barrel carbine. the muzzelbrake on the long barrel is held on with red Loctite and can be removed in 10 min. with a heat gun and put on the shorter barrel along with the extra barrel strap for support. now I have 2 carbines with 2 extra barrels very happy with this setup. also put a scope on each. very accurate

Accuracy and ease of changing to rifle. Very quite.

Can't think of anything.

Set mine up with a red dot sight on the rifle barrel. At 10 yds the first 3 were in 1/2" and 2 were touching. Adjusted sight and the next 6 were less than 1/2". Shot 3 more and they cloverleaf. My 9 yr. old Grandaughter is very good with it. Don't know how you could do better, especially at the price. BTW- I was using RWS R10- 7 gr. pellets.

fun little outfit. fifty to seventy five foot dead on and deadly. Squirrels stay away from birder feeder now

light, quiet, accurate

nothing

great piece, best for the money

The Weight, The feel the actual shooting is awesome

I think the magazine clip should feel a little more solid It kinda feels like it would come out, but it hasn't.

Great Pistol/Rifle combo, Easy change Barrels Light weight, .177 and .022 how can you beat it, and a great price. I love it.

Great little rifle. Not the most powerful, but just what I needed...

Suppressor could be removed & swapped between pistol and rifle configurations. The UK version it is a separate piece. Probably a good USA law for some reason.

Very nice air rifle kit....

I like the price and the customer service and fast shipping of Pyramyd Air.

My only two complain is that the silencer coming fliers to the long barrel and has threaded ! Why? Was very hard to remove it for put in the pistol short barrel. The se one complain is that the kit in Diana Chaser Brand not coming with mag and need to do another order to buy it. I prefer pay little bit more in only one order. Thanks

The grip is not too ergonomic like a Crosman 2240. If some body know if different grip is available in the market, let me know.

Sweet kit. Set it up for the .22 rifle and since then having too much fun to change to pistol. Quiet, accurate and fun. Trigger has a great feel. Easily get 50 shots on one CO2 cartridge. Don't know yet what ammo is best since accuracy was equal at 10m with many different pellets.

Make an easier to operate safety. With my fingers I had problem easily accessing it.

Had problems with cone shaped 14gm ammo not loading easily. Round nose was no problem. Didn't try wad cutters yet.

Very accurate fun air gun to shoot .

I wish it came with some pellets just enough so I could have tried it out right away .

I love the solid connection method Diana engineered to attach the stock and the longer barrel to the pistol. They don't move at all when installed. And i like that the gun is dovetailed for easy scope mounting. I love the simplicity and solidness of this gun. The way it's built, it should last for many years. It's build very simple and straight forward, so there's not much to break. I'm VERY IMPRESSED with the accuracy of this little gun. With the rifle kit installed and a scope mounted, and resting the front on the back of a chair at 43 feet (14 yards) in my basement, I can repeatedly shoot 10 shots and cover 9 or all of them with a dime. I'm thinking that if I rested it on a sandbag at 43 feet, it might shoot 3/8" groups.

The open sights are a little crude in my opinion, but at this price point they're ok. I didn't really care, thought, because I am probably going to leave it in the rifle configuration and leave the scope mounted on it.

Some people might say that it's a little hard to load the pellet with a scope mounted. I don't think so. It quickly became easy to me after I loaded a few and got used to it. They make a multi shot magazine. I haven't used one yet, but have one on order. That should be nice.

Light unbelievably accurate for the price and very fun

Add another silencer

Best Buy for the money

This Chaser is light weight, easy to maneuver, and accurate.

Make the suppressor removable like it is in all its2 other configurations.

This is a left handed gun. The single shot tray slides in from the left side of the gun, so when feeding from the right side the tray tends to slide out of position, you need to use the thumb of you left jand to hold it in place. As with the single shot tray, the magazine loads from the left side of the gun. This will prevent you from using a large wheel on a S,W,A,T scope, there is no room.

Not too expensive.

The grip is very uncomfortable but maybe necessary for stock attachment. My particular pistol will not chamber a round without CONSIDERABLE effort no matter the pellet used. The bolt lever flys up upon firing hindering accurate control. Safety is odd and trigger press is barely average.

Confirm the return policy. I own this pistol

I ordered a Chaser for my son for Christmas and I have to say overall its a good value and will be a lot of fun. Hes an average sized 9 year old and the lightweight design suits him well. Shot-to-shot consistency is quite good. With the long barrel, it holds a stable velocity of 650fps with a 7.9gr pellet (7.4fpe) for about 40 shots before it begins to tail off (temperature of 65F, allowing 15sec between shots to minimize any potential cooling effect). Thats very close to 300fpe for a single 12g cartridge, and whereas most CO2 AGs come from the factory as huge gas hogs, this result is quite good. Good enough that Im not in a big hurry to open it up to see if I can reduce the small amount of valve bounce Im hearing. The moderator works well, aided no doubt by the efficient CO2 consumption. Absolutely backyard friendly.

Accuracy with the short barrel is fine but the long barrel was disappointing. Taking a closer look, the rifling near the muzzle was damaged, smeared where the crowning pilot was inserted. It wasn’t the first time I have seen this problem from this manufacturer and fortunately I’m able to correct it, so I removed 0.2” from the end and faced it off in the lathe, then recrowned it with a brass screw and J-B Bore Compound. The moderator still has plenty of thread engagement and accuracy was immediately transformed. The first group with H&N FTT came in around 3/8” at 25 yards with a 4x scope. So if it’s spraying pellets all over the place, have a look for this sort of damage.

Light weight,shoots straight,made well,over all great air rifle....

It's all good..

I liked the package the interchangeability and the multishot option. The power and accuracy are good.

The co2 gun here in our climate, in new england , mskes it a fair weather gun, the pcp version may be better.

Its a beautiful line the dianna. I went and purchased the air bug. To add to my collection too

Surprising well made, accurate, consist, light weight and quiet.

Safety location.

Both of my Chasers have out performed Mfg'rs specs for velocity. .22 cal rifle w/ 14.3 g CPRN pellet 532fps aver. Over 20 shots. .22 cal pistol w/ 14.3 g CPRN pellet, 454fps. Might be made in China but the Diana quality control interface is obvious. Light weight adds to the pleasure. For a 12gram CO2 powered gun it is impressive and consistent. Plan on 7 fps mean deviation over 21 shots. 21 max good shots per cartridge is real world. Still cheaper than a PCP setup! 8-9 Foot Pounds of energy is what you get out of the .22 rifle with the Crosman 14.3 g pellets. $120 for this package is a no brainer.

I put a Sightmark day/night scope on mine and cured the night time barking dog problem in my neighborhood in about a week. It'll reach out 3 back yards over and nail them consistently. Hardly any action now though since it's pretty quiet.. For you dog lovers that think I'm terrible then keep your damn dogs in @ night so they don't bark on the neighbors.

Nothing but the Mickey Mouse magazine which is essentially worthless. I rigged up a tiny light on the receiver to load it single shot at night. That $20 clip ended up in the trash so save your $ on that.
