The 300R is similar to the 46 series but it is a repeater.

I have one also. Most important advice is to count your shots or you will dry fire (been there done that) as there is no way to see the mag and tell how many shots you have left. Not going to be a powerhouse. You may need a droop compensating mount if you decide to scope it. The scope rail is x-tra long, so the Leapers UTG type mounts will sit too far forward.

I suscribe Nathan opinion, a be careful on reload, it's not delicated, but need atention.
If you don't know how many shots have left, change the mag, and reload.
It's a very nice Diana.

Try to find it.The photographies, since the Dianas, do not do justice to all. When you have it in the hands, the things change.
Fall in love ,my friend...
