Which is better overallThe ems .22 is 380 at pyramid air and numerich has the classic 177 for 200 bucks. Which should I choose for hunting down rabbits?Also would synthetic or wood be better for Florida weatherThanks guys
[Do you know how much fpe the 177 is on the numerich classic, numerich only has 177I'm split in half between a Diana 34 ems in .22 or a classic in 177Do you think the ems will last a long time too?
Most of us have both calibers and imo it's hard to recommend one over the other for what you want to do. Rabbits die easy so even if you go with .177, you won't be undergunned. I have both stock materials, too. Wood looks great, but you'll never wear out synthetic. The main thing is to buy yourself a rifle while they're still available.

The classic 34 has been a favorite for a good many years, and most who own them, once they adapt to shooting them well, LOVE them.
Lok at picture 9 here at the breechhttps://www.airgundepot.com/diana-model-34-ems-wood-air-rifle.html#mobile-gallery-9Is that cheap looking or what? Scale? Thick black paint? The the latch like like hey just sheared It off and stuck it in with out grinding it smooth ..lol. man that picture looks bad for a $300+ german rifle.
I bought the 34 from Numrich several months ago and couldn’t be happier. Shooting from a bench I’m getting 3/8-1/2 groups at 30 yards shooting H&N FTT 8.64 gr. That’s good enough for me, but the squirrels hate it.
