I used to own one about a decade ago, then sold it and was sorry I did. Can't help with the price, as all I remember is it was expensive, but it shot just as one would expect with a match rifle to shoot...superb!

Is great fun.,..the match rifles have triggers that are wondeful (or can be screw adjusted until they are) and zero recoil.

But they do NOT match any of my hunting rifles...they have less than perfect triggers and demand a close watch on forllow through. The match air rifles may be too good in comparison...when i switch from a FWB 300U to one of my centerfires, it takes a bit to get use to the trigger and stock hold needed to shoot a "real" rifle well.

Sporter airguns may be a beter match for off season practice...they do jump around a nd fibrate a bit, and the triggers while good are closer to sporter centerfires.....but the big match guns are a whole lot of fun all by themselves.

That Diana will be a true recoiless...uses two pistons traveling in opposit directions to kind of vancel eachother out. Can detect a light vibration, but that's about it. The FWB 300 actaully is just run on a ball bearing rail...the metal parts just run back in recoil, leaving you to feel nothing from the stationary stock...is recoiless, but not the same system at all.


Either one will teach you a whole buynch about judging the wind and getting your yardage guesstimate correct...good skills....but think if the goal is to practice for your "real" rifle use, then the sproter may match things better.
