Page 8 - Diana 350 Magnum Premium Reviews

Very nice quality. I have for many years and still do consider German quality to be up there, from cars to well air guns. The RWS 350 is a nice piece of craftsmanship- not a cheep toy. Well built and attractive too. A tad spendy...but it is nice.

not sure of anything. i just got it and will get more intimate with the 350 as time goes on. but as for now it needs no improvement.

i got the "shooters kit" for the extra $120 or whatever it was. Yeah! my buddy was over when the RWS 350 got delivered. 1st thing he said was "nice scope". then he said "big scope" LOL. The plano case is nice too- pretty sollid, heavy. we shot a few rounds in the backyard. NICE! not sure if it is hitting the 920 fps or 1050 (seen different reports) but it probably is. Just seems a little slow. I most likely will get a chrono to test all my stuff. Thanks Pyramydair. Great transaction and i'm stoked on my RWS 350!

This is my first air rifle. I bought this one based on the great reviews here at Pyramyd. I basically looked at almost every .22 air rifle on this site and decided on the Diana. Awesome power. Very sturdy mechanics. I like the open sights on this gun. I like the automatic safety that is engaged with the gun is cocked. I only have about 30 yards in my backyard to work with so I like having the open sights, makes it more challenging. And it is not too loud either. Also very fast shipping and delivery. Pyramyd rules!!

Maybe if the sights had color. Nothing else. A great gun.

Due to the high velocity performance, this gun requires 33 pounds of pressure to cock.

weght for its size, acuracy and easy cocking efort

make it a bit shorter.

it has a very powerful kick. crosman premires groop wel.

Power,Power,POWER,and good accuracy even out to about 60+ yards.This is not my first gun but it became my favorite verry quickley.

Maby a little lighter ,this is a big one

If you are thinking of of buying a 350 also get the CP's 14.3 mine loves them

Hard Hitter, and Accurate

Nothing

On mine the RWS super H point pellets provided the best accuracy

It has excellent velocity. At 5,280 feet altitude, I am getting 825 fps with the RWS hollowpoint (.22 cal). Accuracy is best with this pellet as well. All RWS pellets shoot well, and the Napier Hunters get 800 fps with a high ballistic coefficient. It is solid, simple to use, cleans easily, and is not that hard to cock. When shooting in my basement, the pellet hitting the target makes more noise than the gun. For the money, this is a great deal in a powerful spring gun.

I prefer a metal trigger, but the T-05 plastic trigger works well.

If you install a scope, use a scope stop or get mounts with a scope stop provision. I bought 2 pair of Leapers 30MM mounts, and used the two with the scope stop. I have not had a problem in 1,000 shots.

Beautiful spring rifle coupled with a lot of punch. Although I've only had it for a year, it certainly feels like it will last a lifetime and be handed down to my children. Great length and there is an overall balance to the design and weight distribution.

My palms would prefer not having to give the barrel a good slap in order to break it open, but the rugged locking mechanism probably ensures that the barrel returns to the same postion after each cocking. The cocking effort itself is reasonable for the power obtained.

It's a heavy and long rifle so continous plinking will be exhausting. Great for large backyard pest control or a short hike into the woods when hunting.

Beautiful workmanship, nice quality and incredible pest elimination and knockdown power with my 22 version. Very powerful smooth cocking gun, cocks easily relative to power output. Nice trigger action and nice pest visibility with the Leapers scope. 3 shots at some problem pigeons ranging between 40-80 feet, 3 eliminated didn't miss once. (Crow magnum rounds terminated them) Great small game rifle almost made it seem to easy. Very accurate and great power with heavy pellets. I look forward to putting many rounds through this gun as I continue to explore my proficiency with the guns accuracy and range potential. I am glad the sales staff at Pyramyd brought this gun to my attention and I am very happy with the gun overall.

Nothing. It would be awesome if RWS made a semi-auto with this power and accuracy that you didn't have to cock.

This is a powerful air rifle that is a bit much for casual plinking. If you have pests to eliminate, and are a serious shooter who wants a high quality adult air rifle with good knockdown power, I recommend this gun. Leapers scope worked well in low light levels at dusk. Fairly quiet for power output.

The fit and finish aspects of this gun are beautiful, I bought the .22 combo package from Pyramid, and it arrived a day early. It does seem to prefer heavier pellets as stated above. The accuracy at 25 yds. ( my range length at home) is better than my ability to shoot. very satisfied I made the right choice in a fine Magnum Springer.

possibly the plastic trigger, as referenced above, however, it may just be fine. I have no intentions of changing it in the future.

This is not the gun if you want something that you can plink with for an extended period of time, as the cocking action is quite heavy. But the power and accuracy WELL make up for the effort involved in the firing sequence.

The grip and lenght.

nothing really

for this weapon make sure you use the right weighted pellets

I realy like this rifle a lot, it's just a very well made piece of art ,if you know what I mean , weight, length and exellent craftsmanship all toghether ,is everything you can look for on a air rifle power and accuracy.

I would only change the plastic triger for one made of metal.

The only thing airgunners should know is that this is a big rifle ,not for the junior shooter unless they are big and had tried it first. THIS IS A WINNER THANKS.. RWS.

The RWS 350 .22 arrived quick and in mint condition from Pyramid Air. Out of the box, my first impression was how long yet well balanced the rifle was. The stock was nicely finished to a medium-dark satin sheen, and the bluing was even and decent looking. It really is the big sister to my Diana mod 34, packing quite a punch. The 350 gives a satisfying kick, with good feedback and a solid THWOK!~ with very little twang or vibration. I scoped it with a Leapers 4-16x50 AO and Accushot one piece mount. I put a .005 brass shim at the rear ring to take care of any droop the rifle may have. I punched some paper at 20 yards using brown box CPLs, Benjamins, and JSB Exact Jumbos. The Benjamins proved to be the most accurate. There was no detonation or dieseling out of the box. This is a great hunting airgun for the money. Despite the plastic parts (trigger, guard, safety and end cap) which are very well cast, you can be sure this is a well made German springer.

There was a burr on the front sight that caused minor scratching of the dovetail when I removed it. The biggest gripe is of course, the RWS scope rail. They really should design a better one that allows the mounting pin to seat properly, without having to hang the pin off of the front of the rail to prevent creeping.

Get this airgun if you want a powerful small game hunter. Cocking effort is pretty hefty, but I'm able to get many dozens of rounds off in an afternoon of shooting and plinking without great suffering.
