Diana 34P Striker Combo

The Diana 34P shoots extremely repeatably time after time and is very shooter friendly. That is, both on a bench rest, which is not guaranteed for a spring piston rifle, and freehand give very good, repeatable results. The same can be said for the several different pellets that I have tried so far. Although pellets of different types and weights will have different points of impact as expected, those of the same make will group together nicely.

Nothing that comes to mind.

The first scope that came in the combo had some problems. The turrets were very hard or impossible to turn for adjustment even when trying to turn them with the fingers from two hands at the same time, and I am neither slight or small. I was only able to get a few clicks on the elevation turret before finding that both turrets were essentially frozen and the crosshairs were way above the point of impact despite the properly installed drooper mount . Of course, Pyramydair responded with an RMA and, subsequently, a same model replacement which has shown none of the problems of the previous scope.

A beautiful rifle with a solid feel. The synthetic stock will take a lot of rough handling and feels as solid as wood. I purchased blunt and pointed steel RWS brand pellets and it shoots as accurately as advertised. This will be great for target practice and hunting rodents.

Wish it was quieter but muzzlebrakes (silencers) in NJ are illegal on any weapon.

I ordered the service to mount the scope and test fire the rifle. It was well worth the money to have the rifle ready to go when it arrived. If selecting this option, PyramydAir automatically gives you a choice of case to purchase, since once the scope is mounted it won't fit back in the box for shipping.

I really like the fact that I could purchase a compensating mount made specifically for this rifle. This provided the basis for very easy bore sighting with the first shot two inches low and 1" left of POA. I was amazed at initial accuracy . I shot two three shot groups at 22 yards with five different pellets recommended for this rifle. Every group was less than .500". Best was RWS Meister Krugeln 8.2 gr. at .134" CC. I put Weavers six hole Tactical mounts on it and there has been no slippage or loose screws at 160 rounds. I mounter the Leaper's 3x9x40 AO scope Which should insure the rifle shoots up to its potential which is awesome..

I would take the automatic engagement of the safety out and color code the safety image properly, e.g. no visable red is safe. I would also flatten the bottom of the butt portion of the stock so it rides my fingers better on the bench.

If accuracy and inheirent dependability is essential to you there is no better value than the Dianna 34 Panther.

This is a classic must have break barrel air rifle. Super high quality, Very accurate and powerful.

It is heavy.

The rifle has a good balance, comfortable feel and soft report.

Improve the droop. Using 15g pellets the droop is extreme even at 30 yards

Don't bother scoping this rifle as the optics cannot overcome the droop

Just rec'd my Diana 34P. Bought it for squirrel/rabbit hunting. I have shot about 100 target rounds now. I had it scoped in by Pyrymid to 10 yrds for $20. Well worth the cost. At 20 yrds it shoots high about 6 inches so have to readjust scope but compensating for this by aiming lower I can hit nickle size bullseye 10/10 using gunrest. Awesome rifle, will have to update this review in a few months

I bought the synthetic (plastic) stock, feels kind of cheap. Thought it would have been more substantial/solid like my synthetic crossbow stock. Wish I had bought the wood stock. Live and learn.

I was very happy with purchasing through Pyrymid.

I don't have to worry about marking up the stock, given that it is synthetic. The rifle is pretty accurate at the distances at which I've been able to shoot it (7 to 10 meters).

The rifle was delivered with a broken rear sight. Pyramydair couldn't simply replace the sight. They wanted the whole rifle sent back (the boxes it came in were nearly destroyed in shipping). Thus I learned that they are not capable of supplying parts. One of their staff referred me to the supplier of the rifle, UMAREX, and I called them only to learn that they are also not much capable of supplying parts. After some looking at the UMAREX facility, one of their staff found a damaged rifle and was able to send me the rear sight from it. Now I've learned the flat the rear sight sits on is sloped to the right. Quality control in manufacturing and shipping and parts management at the supplier need more attention.

.22 pellets at the ranges I was shooting (7 to 10 meters into a steel trap) are pretty much destroyed, not just flattened. They really come apart. This leads to lots of lead particles both inside the trap (a bolt together model rather than the welded together model) and outside of it. I think this speaks to the power of the rifle. I think I'm just as glad I didn't get a 900fps model.

excellent gun. great customer service

not a thing.

Overall, an excellent gun for the money. The gun was shooting about 2 inch groups at 30 yards right out of the box, and after about 500 shots, about 1 inch groups. .177 caliber drops squirrels and other small game with no problems. Have gone hunting with it numerous times, and was very satisfied.

The gun is fairly loud, and can be quite difficult to cock in the beggining. The safety is nice, but could use some adjustments. it requires nimble fingers and two fo them at that, to put the gun back to safe.

Not a toy.

Nice rifle, shoots great

Can't use open sights with scope mounted, rifle sling options

My first purchase from pyramid air, great rifle to shoot, accurate and quiet
