Good review as always but what was Mrs AAR doingon that digger?? very intriguing lol
Ha ha, it was in there to check who watches the program to the end…congratulations….. more to follow ….. Stay safe, Andy.
Distance?I had the Diana 52, but I had to sell it because the excessive vibrations always caused the telescope to fall apart

I like the classic design. It looks like a real gun with a real stock and not like something a plumber made on a bad monday morning.
Springers are at the heart of our sport and air rifle shooters should have one in their collection. There is something about self sufficiency and being self contained - no need for extras for CO2 /PCP. Plus, the skills needed to shoot a springer well are great to acquire.
Agreed. Well said.
I absolutely agree, forget PCP vs Spring, everyone should have a springer!
Agreed. I had an Original 45, Webley Vulcan and a HW35.
Brilliant springers.
Thanks for more springers on the channel. For many of us, due to budget, springers just make more sense. Yes, you must absorb the cost of a quality gun, but it's an investment - and you only have to buy pellets & silicone oil afterward. The added expense of tanks, refill charges, etc. w/PCP's can be daunting for some. Diana has, in a left-handed manner, just admitted (in my humble opinion) that they made a mistake in Chinese manufacture for dependable, quality airguns. And so many springers come in a lovely package such as the 460, w/classic lines & handsome wood furniture. Simple is beautiful!
Always love the variation of guns on review on this channel! Never disappointed 👍🏻
Great review Andy. Its good to see you reviewing some more springers. Thank you.
The infamous HW77 set the standard for many years for underlever springers.
The Venom Arms versions were superb and the front latch/silencer look far better
the the original diecast block.
I still have two of them, back in the day they were not cheap, but they oozed quality.
Now Diana has this one at a similar price and been made in Germany should ensure
that it is far better than the cheap offerings from China.
The appearance for me is spot on, and iooks like a gun should unlike some of todays
weird looking PCP's.
Next time i am near a gunshop that sells them i might be tempted.
Seating the pellet is so important in this rifle, I've got one and several times they've dropped out in the breach when closing and I've had to scrape it out after it's been mashed when misfiring...
I don’t have that problem I shoot an Weihrauch hw57 the breach pops up and can’t go down if the pellet isn’t seated good😂
It all depends on the quality of the pellets. I have had the same issue.
You have to push the pellets in until they seat good. My 48 for example does not like hades pellets. They fall out of the breach. If I push them in al little further they shoot a lot better.
I found with my Walther LGU, that a map pin with the point cut off the pin, was just the right tool the seat any pellet and the increase in consistent accuracy is well worth the effort. 👍😁
Brilliant video Andy! I've got the the full stocked 430 sibling (in .177) to this and what a high quality tac driver it is, out to 40 plus yards. Keep making these videos Andy, as I am sure they will help guide many air gunners towards the best - state of the art products that are the most fun and the best value for money on the market. Brilliant reviews, honeslty and light hearted plus fun to watch as well! Much Kudos to you Sir, as the gratis is long overdue from me. Rob, Welsh air gunner & arms collecter, South Wales.
Tradition along with that type of accuracy & quality at an amazing price,No brainer from start to finish.Thx Andy.
My Diana 460 Mod 460 T06 Magnum in .177 was made in Germany in 2018 and, although older, is as accurate as this one. I've expanded my collection quite some bit since its purchase, yet it still holds a special place in my heart! The price I paid for the features I got is one of the best deals I've gotten.
So many good value options out there at the moment. Keep up the great work and content
Smashing gun, proper old school and looks very well made. Thanks for the review Andy.
I was given a 1938 Diana 177 air rifle 53 years ago, (64 now) and it still punches through and out the other side of oil cans at 30 yards. It was re-sprung at Bisley 48 years ago. You have to break the barrel to cock it and it gives a satisfying wisp of smoke after each shot. Any value to it? In my early teens, I would mark targets at the Ranges each weekend, as I lived within cycling distance. (far more money than a paper round) It was given to me by an old army officer, who was a friend of my dad's. He kept it in a fired brass 5 inch shell with his walking sticks by the front door.
Having the full power 460 it's definitely a rifle of beauty. With the jsb 10 grains it shoots like a lazer if you do your part . Definitely worth having for pest and targeting
The first rifle that I bought was a Diana mk7, way back in 1964. I've owned guns ever since. Although I don't like those bear trap loading gates, they should have incorporated something like the BSA Air Sporter loader, with a swivel trap. Nice review Andy.
I'm an "Old Fart" and grew up with traditional springers, love mine and not switching to anything else. Thanks for doing a great springer review, getting to be a bit rare these days. 👍👍👍👍👍😁
Me too! Started with a Milbro G34 I'm pretty sure it was a 34, if memory serves. There was a G36 aa well which was the top of the range, I think. It's a long time ago in the darkest 70s. Alas, I'm Scottish, so have nothing now but a load of accessories, I should sell. Surrendered mine including a HW 95 .22 still smarts!
Another great review Andy, good to see a variety of reviews on this channel.
Love the Diana's of Germany. Currently own a model 34 in .22 with T05 trigger. Have also owned a model 52 in .25, 350 magnum in .22, and a 34 meisterschutze in .177.
All great rifles and all are and were 100% German.
I have been eyeing the 460 for quite a while now. I have never owned an underlever model.
Great video.
They are very nice, I bought a 460 magnum in .22 cal back in 2013. It has the T05 trigger, also very nice. The under-lever is great, your barrel stays fixed and you never have to deal with keeping the barrel hinge point tightened.
I owned an unrestricted .22 model 52 a few years back (in another country) , it was incredible, it was used on vermin control, it would easily penetrate 15~19mm ply wood sheet
I have an early 80s Diana rifle and it’s still going strong !
Diana model 50?
@@japiemateata7176
45?
I'm very happy to get one of the last 470TH before it was discontinued. Basically a 460, but with thumbhole stock and no fixed sights.
A beauty and will spin 1" spinners at 75m.
what a lovely rifle that is ; Glad your reviewing Diana's products, especially this one THANKS Andy 👍👍
Under lever is always a nice touch of class. Brilliant 👏
Diana has a history of making quality springers, thanks for the review Andy👍
Just like the Diana Mauser K98. Which is also accurate and well engineered.
Same gun, i own both.
the Diana K98 is based on the 460 platform.
Brilliant. I never expected you to review the rifle i own. It being quite a rare model
Impeccable!! I'm aware you have an appreciation for the Berreta 92 series pistol -- recently purchased the select fire version (feels, looks exactly the same as the U.S. M9 and my personal 92F back in the day) I am a lucky purchaser of a new B3 Chinese under lever, which looks very similar to that Diana at possibly 1/10th cost. Exceptional accuracy also.
That looks like a nice rifle. Great review as usual Andy.
Now that looks like the Diana's of old. I'm quite tempted. Thanks Andy.
This has been on my want list for quite a while, nice to finaly see a springer on the chanel
The Diana 50 & Gecado 50 were highly thought of when I grew up in East Africa. The cocking lever was shorter and hidden by the stock.
Nice, keep up the good reviews Andy.
Very nice.
Now that they have brought manufacturing back home, I’d love to see more of the brand in the uk and in comps.
Very promising for the airgun community. 🤞
DIANA is German.
I have loads of pcp rifles but my first love are my springers , love them ❤.
I have one of those, but in .22 caliber. Also I'm in the U.S., so the rifle is full power. Extremely nice quality piece, very powerful, and incredibly accurate. Mine has the T05 trigger and I bought it back in 2013 or so. Still absolutely as good as new.
Very nice looking rifle, and the 'anti bear trap' release seems much more convenient to use than the Air Arms version. The price isn't too bad for what you get, but it looks a bit unwieldy if not firing from a bench. For an underlever at a similar price point the HW97K gives you a smaller (but not exactly lightweight) chunk of wood and metal that is probably a better fit for many shooters.
Yes the HW97k is a great quality lighter weight around 7lb and shorter making it very wieldy. This Diana is more like the M1 replica .22 air rifle in size and weight but better quality.
This is purely hunting gun. Made to aim using open sight
Great review as always.I have a marksman scope coming in from Optics Planet here in the States. And now I am a Official Vector Reviewer I have a Paragon 4-20 Tactical on the way UPS Worldwide post. Excited to test that optic out for sure.
Great review as usual andy..keep up with more springers.
Hi Andy, love this one!
Nice gun , great video mate 👍
Nice gun. My experience with many fire arms and air guns taught me that the common "deer rifle" hold yeilds great accuracy. Basically pull the stock into your shoulder, with light hold on the fore grip. This works with my Beeman Magnum 10616, 998 fps, 8.3 gr 177 Superdomes. .31" group at 33 yards. Sorry, don't do meters... Anywho, this hold works for shotguns to rifles. Pistols, well just grip hard and squeeze. Great video. Keep shootin those springers 😉
I do wish more break barrel rifles were available in a multi-shot configuration like the Gamo Swarm series. So much better than fumbling with a single pellet every time you take a shot and even more so when it’s a .177 caliber.
Hi Andy nice presentation.
Excellent review!
Sir, you are precise. 🎯
Now that's a handsome rifle. Good accuracy too.
I'm a sucker for stippling!
I think you should do more springer reviews. You are a self declared PCP fan and have previously said that you are not particularly good at shooting springers. However people trust you and your no fuss reviews, this makes you the perfect person to review them. I have one of each and won’t be replacing either anytime soon, but if I was after a new springer I would like you to be the person reviewing my potential new purchase so that I could make an informed choice.
Nice review, just got my first springer, a HW99s, and love it. Looks like Diana are becoming very competitive lately.
You can't go wrong with a 99
@@thomasbeavon6485 True, the gun is great it's just me that lets it down 🤣🤣
Great review! I am owner of an Airking 54 model for several months and I am really happy with it. In the other hand, I realy like the model 460, so probably, this one will be bought next. I prefer springers, and the model 460 is worth to be added in personal collection...
ANOTHER QUALITY REVIEW
like the under lever cocking rather than the barrel nice gun
Excellent review
Morning all my very first air rifle was a Diana modle G 34 break barrell in .22 cal that was back in the Sixties .......
have you still got the rifle ? mine was a Webley
@@simonnoble7589 Alas no I had the miss fortune of lending it to a friend who got caught poaching and had the rifle confiscated and there taught me my first lesson..... don't lend your rifle to anyone . I do have a collection of old air rifles and pistols
@@tarmacdemon ow dear .. i collect anything from pistols to rifles ... about 20 pcp`s ... its a bug collecting lol have a good day
@@simonnoble7589 you to my friend
That is such a good looking airgun it could take space in my cabinet just for the sake of it.
I am one that likes a well built quality air rifle with the traditional stock rifle. Also enjoy a quality review such as you provide.
great video as usual andy,just one question, where did you buy the shooting stand you use?
If I had one wish regarding the very fine Diana rifles... the stutzen 430 model would be in UK stores by next week.
That rifle looks very accurate.
Impressive springer, great review
Great review Andy.
I love springers and this one looks good. However I do feel they missed a trick in not adding a silencer or a thread to fit one. Hunters like me, or back garden shooters with neighbours would have appreciated that feature I feel. 👍
The 470 target hunter is the same action as this rifle but with a silencer instead of open sights. It has a thumbhole stock and is more pricey
@@paulherbert1550
Thanks Paul.
Are they on sale here in the UK? I've seen a few foreign reviews but not by any of the guys I follow. 👍
Im not sure diana still make the 470 version tbh.
I dont find the 460 too loud without any silencer
@@paulherbert1550
I've never had the chance to use either the 460 or 470 unfortunately but will be keeping an eye out for them.
Thanks again. 👍
Wish you would do this one in the FAC , the way it was built. I was going to purchase one a few years back. Do like the fixed barrel
Base for this rifle and a famous british AirArms tx200 is hw77(k). Which has a new shorter version hw57 and without iron sights hw97. Just few years ago Walther produced LGU.
Maybe it makes sense to make a summary.
Have a BSA scorpion, pcp yes, but still has those beautiful traditional lines and style, with accuracy and quality build
I doubt that 20 Foot pounds is designed for Germany as their airgun laws are stricter than England having an even lower limit without a licence.Probably for export.
In the Netherlands 27 joule..
@@johndoo5363 I think Belgium and the Netherlands are the only nations where there isn't a limit on muzzle energy for long rifles.
@@SmeurkeDeKatczech republic
@@SmeurkeDeKatfinland too dont have any limits for airguns
@@juhosulosuo5506 @bratarnolda1014 Finland and Czech Rep. have a .25cal limit. Anything bigger needs licensing.
No such regulations in Belgium/Netherlands.
Hello, I’ve been watching your programs for a while, and I have to say, the Diana rifles are formidable in the quality of their woods, and mechanisms of their metals, price quality, they are very good in their prices. The problem is that the quality of the woods is dying with all the fiber components, in short it’s a shame, but these rifles, I don’t know how long they will last, because the wooden ones last a lifetime. Greetings from Catalonia, Spain.😎🍀🕸.
Very nice rifle. Great review.
Got my 460 on Nov 7-23 in .22 I sighted in the open sights at 15 yards, then put a u.t.g.3x9x40 on it, at 66 years of age, i dont need a better scope, i sighted it in at 27 yards, which is far enough for my old eyes... beautiful rifle, takes a bit of getting used to at first, but youll catch on fast.
Are underlevers actually more accurate than break barrles as the barrel is fixed??
Thank you , really very nice .
Looks like the same action that's in my K98 Diana.
Excellent video, out of interest how do you think the D460 matches up against the Weihrauch HW97 & Air Arms TX200/Pro Sport in terms of performance and finish & finish ?
I'm going to get a D460 to go with my HW's & AA's.
Loving the Diana stuff, personally I'm looking for a break barrel version for around 2 to 300 pounds ish? as always this as been a great review thanks.
Proper air rifle. 👍
Are you using tha stopper for the telescope to prevent it slide back due to recoil?
AAR isn't repetitive. Next week Andy reviews a semi-auto PCP.
Hi, I recently acquired one of these Air Rifles, but I'm struggling to get consistent and accurate results, especially while using a scope. (Hawke Airmax 2-7x32). I'm not sure whether it's the mounts I'm using or the scope itself, but I get a fantastic grouping using the open sights, but can't get a 2" grouping at 20m using the scope. I was hoping you could send some advice my way?
I see that the Grecian 2000 has made another appearance, Young Andy !
I had the model 350, it was beautifully made and 21ft/lbs in .177. I developed rheumatoid arthritis and it became too heavy for me so I moved it on.
Interesting cheers
Nice airgun 👍😉
nice review...mabe in the future , a comparison between this Diana and a HW77 /97 would be intresting
Great review. Thank you for sharing. I was just wondering your opinion on loading the pellets. I have Diana 460 and the Weihrauch HW97. The hw has a great loading gate, and the pellet holds very firm, but Diana is quit loss and bottom of the receiver is absent and pellet may fall into the ground. It's a very accurate rifle and it shoots as good as Weihrauch. I got lucky . Take care
Andy how would wee all go about trying to change the law to a higher poundage?
I don't have Fac but a mate of mine does and am sure it's firing 18 pound . And it's got to be the best set up ever it only 6 pound but makes all the diffrance on a longer shot any how's yet another great programe thanks
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🦄😁✌️🤞
Can you show more break barrel rifles like Ruger family Ruger 20 gauge,1.77Can can you show a teardown to change o-rings and how to put it back together thanks bro
Nice Rifle!
You should get a Slavia 631 or 634 (or the newer Perun 7xx), if in a good state they are beasts for 10-20meters.
Good work Sir
It's nice to see a rifle looking like one. Wood and steel. The only way to go.
Pretty nice, minus the plastic open sights 🙂👍
Nice I wanna get one. It would have nice if you reviewed the FAC one tho...
Hej Andy, som vanligt härlig video med mycket "lättförståelig" Engelska. Ett HW 77 k är ju snarlik och kanske lite lättare, är väl ganska jämt mellan modellerna. Kul att du är tillbaka i rutan igen, Mvh Lasse. ❤️
It's the opposite In Germany, air guns producing a muzzle energy up to 7.5 joule (J) (5.53 ft·lbf) anything over is illegal.
In Italy you can buy "free" version with max energy 7,5 Joules if you are 18 years old. For the "full power" version with energy more than 7,5 Joules you must have a gun licence.
Got a model 45, I’ve had it from new and it’s always seemed a powerful gun compared to others
Actually just realised it’s an original 45 but always thought of it as diana
My first air gun was a Diana back in the 80’s. Having a choice I would have the new PCP from them.
Was that Mrs AAR on the mini digger if so, can we have a review please..👍
how would it compare with the HW 99S at £ 245 Andy.
It's even worse in Germany. They castrate this beauty to 7,5 Joules. No point in getting this one over here since it is designed for much more power.
honestly not even fun shooting a rifle with 5.5 fpe?? thats crazy. my modded crosman 1322 pump pistol will do 10fpe.....
only people who likes the looks buy a big airgun in germany . a hw 30 is al in max legal power there (fac 11 joule ), the germans name the large models weitschuss gewehre 🙄, .7,5 is 7,5 joule , there are airpistols in that power range
@@peteralexben All the larger airguns are really designed for export to countries with much higher energy levels with USA probably heading the list. It's also no problem to buy them full power on ticket in Germany, same as in the UK.
High power airguns are not so popular because it's just easier to buy a 22LR.
Netherlands and Belgium they're fulltime power. Cost about €475
14 joule are little. Here in Italy with licence if possible to buy same carabine with 26 joule
Very good design. The full power version is tough on scopes, though, so shop carefully.
Absolutely true!👌
Wonderfully well made to a point spring air rifle , now Andy why haven’t you been plinking? 😎👍🏻
Thank you for another great video Andy, I have a question for you what percentage of you viewers live in North America, the reason I ask is I live in Canada and have my Pal/Fac. I would like to see you do a review of the full powered rifles. I understand if you are only catering to your country but I would have to think your audience would encompass alot of Americans and Canadians, not to mention the rest of the world.
