I had a 340 N_Tech. I really liked it but it was not a good rifle and I got my money back from the dealer. The barrel was badly made and the ram seemed to lose power over a short period of time.. The cocking got easier. Without detailing all the petty faults I would summarize the rifle as badly produced with a nice cosmetic finish. I see others for sale here in NZ second hand; owners wanting to dump a poor gun .My much cheaper Gamo is far better but I do have a weakness for some but not all Gamos.Diana's are in short supply here. That may be shipping transport problems or caution by importers because of the now exorbitant prices causing consumer to close their wallets..
Yep, mine is an NTEC. I like gas rams, but I find this particular rifle to be a bear.to cock, and it seems that I'm not the only one.I'm not calling it names, just "a character builder".... 😆
I am not sure what to make of Hectors comments on the N_Tech . It disturbs my faith in Diana. They are expensive and of German origin. Once on a pedestal almost with Weihrauch . Then they produce a gun that to my mind is not fit for purpose. Every pallet of airguns I have seen , not many, have guns stacked flat. Diana's reluctance to continue producing gas rams and the Weihrauch apparent preference for steel springs must be persuasive. It has,, together with experienced made me shy of gas springs.. We haven't seen the Ems 34 here and funny things seem to be happening with our market.Kia Ora Hector.
All the insight has been illuminating, thanks guys! I picked up a AM03 the other week that's supposed to be arriving soon. If all goes well with delivery and the rifle survived (never a guaranteed thing), I'll take it out for some testing and relay my experience.
