Right now, except those made in Germany Diana guns, all the others are actually rebranded Snowpeak products,right?

Recently I watched a YouTube video, in the video the P-Five the guy holding in hand actually only has Snowpeak marking on the action tube...

Atch! It can be a contentious issue, but I believe the newer PCP and CO2 Dianas are made in China - maybe not all of them but many of not most (is that vague enough?).
Still, I had an actual girlfriend named Diana from China and she was very nice - so I still love my Chinese Dianas.

That's So sweet~ But without the photos i don't believe that~ [emoji38]

It's a pity I actually don't have a friend / or someone I know named Diana, except Princess Diana and the Huntress Diana on my Diana48...

Tks Duke, I thought there was a distinct likeness to one of the Diana guns, or visa-vis, a re-branding.

My recently acquired two forty. Made in China but its build quality has impressed me especially for $108.
I had no choice but to scope it because I couldn't get a good check weld on the stock. When the one-piece mount arrived I started getting some decent results (5rnd groups) from my pellet collection. It seems to like domed vs wad cutters.
Fun little rifle to plink during the winter blues in my 20' basement "range"......

Looks like more testing of those 3 that shoot best.
Nice collection, airmec.

I agree....nice looking classic lines and well proportioned imo.
I was hesitant on posting a cheap$$ Chinese Diana offering amongst these beauties.
Here's a few more that I posted on another forum. (Rear sight has been removed)

Definitely another pretty Diana. I should add my Oktoberfest to this thread, maybe. But I'll do a group photo later on. I thought of a joke this morning, sipping on my coffee watching the snow come down...

With rifles, you might trade two 24s for a 48! :drinkers:

Dukemeitser....definitely post your Octoberfest!
I would personally trade two svelte 24s for a full-body 48.
