With my Diana 34 I sometimes kill it off the bat and other times it takes ten shots to get on target.
Have you tried different pellets, like a H&N, JSB or RWS?
So I set up this crosman tin on my 50yard rack gong and try to shoot it. I'm like I hear it hit but don't see any holes popping up so I walk to it and see this (pic 1). I'm like man, is this the best this can do? I mean 2 misses of 5 just don't cut it. One holing 3 don't cut a excuse.So I huff and puff back to the bench and start slinging hate shots at it in disgust.(pic 2)Bout that time that bird at 42yards with it's head just sticking over the 40 yard rack started in on me ...You'll never hit me in the head with that German junk and shooting them cphp's , Pftttt you'll never scratch my paint .lol. use a scope you moron.So now lm steamed and lay into him. (Pic 3)Ya, this German rifle is a real piece of work..😉Ya, buyer beware...(R9, .177, open sight, cphp,).
