The 48 is sitting in Calgary already, it will be in my hands tomorrow.

The m48's are pretty cool. My buddy Gord had one in .22 & I shot it a bit.

Gorgeous rifle, somehow I thought it would be lackluster or a 2nds riffle that wasn't up to top standards. Not so, this thing is a beauty. I'm going to polish it up, swab the barrel and get it off to the abandon warehouse and fire a hundred rounds and let er smoke.

I should have purchased two of them. Very nice unit!

Awesome! Hopefully it will give no problems.
As I experienced with my Oktoberfest from Bullseye North, it broke on shot 5 and neither Bullseye or BLS have done anything for me. So, don't break anything!

Well took it out and sighted the scope and I gotta say again, what a gorgeous rifle. This rifle is more than worth full price, getting it on sale is a bonus. I should have bought two.

Cocking it should be easy for anyone as the ratcheting beartrap isn't "all or nothing" like it is on the HW97K. If need be you can stop change grip and finish cocking it if you have physical difficulty......Easy use safety switch and minimal recoil.

All you read and hear is TX200 and HW97K, please don't overlook the Diana 48 when you are concerned about choosing only one rifle. Side lever looks bulky and ugly but trust me, she is smooth as silk. I was using Crosman Premier Piranha .177 in 10.5 grain and shooting 1/4 to 5/16 inch groups at 30M. I mounted a scope on a dovetail to picatinny mount with stop pin and after 150 rounds scope and mount stayed in place.

Yeah~ I have no complain at all on my 48 either~ Love that power very much and on such a power the accuracy can be still that good also impressive! You know that a springer, not a PCP!

The next time it goes on sale (Diana 48) I may have to hit the buy button....unless I find a nice deal on an under-lever before.
Even tho my two forty is made in China I'm really happy with the build quality and accuracy so far!

Not everything made in China is junk, both my PCP's were made in China and in my opinion are built good and are extremely accurate. I think most parts on everything these days are built in China and sent back to the country of origin assembled and shipped out complete?

I luv my fixed barrel springers and will never part with them. My gun buddies can't believe my collection thus far and are always interested to try out my new offerings. With the price of ammo, it is only a matter of time when they purchase one of their own....
