I have been wanting one of these even before they became the "Outlaw" but with all the issues I have read about dealing with the other place I decided to wait a bit and see what happens. Now that the Outlaws are in stock and I had the money in hand I called and ordered one from Baker Airguns this morning. Now the waiting for new gun delivery begins yet again.

I know the gun.. I wanna hear how Baker compares to "the other place". For example: Tracking and ship time.

I've always received great customer service from Dennis.

Well, I called this morning at 11:45 and they answered the phone right away. I placed my order with Dennis and he said he would get it shipped today. At 4:00 I received an email with my tracking number.
I don't think you can get better service than that.
As a clarification on the "other place", I have only bought from him once and had a good experience but that was two or three years ago. However after reading numerous posts on here and other forums about lack of customer service I decided to just save myself a possible headache and frustration and order from Baker Airguns, who happen to have excellent customer satisfaction.

Now hopefully the gun lives up to the hype.

I have yet to place an order with Baker that's why I was curious. I know others have had issues with "the other place" and at one time I did as well. It was worked out in the end. Often times we hear about the bad and seldom hear about the good.
There's been so many discussions about "the other place" that it definitely falls into "the dead horse" file.
I didn't know that Baker had access to any of the SPA guns, Diana or otherwise branded. Any reputable source for these guns is a win for all of us.

Yea I was surprised they had the Outlaw too, actually saw it on Ebay from them but I called it in direct. I had a pistol to sell or trade so I traded it in on this is the other reason I went with Dennis plus they are only one state away from me.

WOW !!! And they take trade ins?

CraigH · « **Reply #8 on:** April 11, 2018, 05:41:46 PM »

I have been "hovering" on that version of the SPA M16. Some have posited that Diana may have improved quality control, but I think the only difference will be the etching on the receiver/breech, and of course the box logo.

I have ordered small items from Baker twice - no issues.

Best wishes and looking forward to hearing about it.

Randy...
I just spoke to Dennis on the phone and inquired about trading in a gun I have for a Seneca Dragonfly. He said he can get one for me and is interested in the trade in. I'm at work now and the gun is at home. Next step is to send pictures and negotiate.
Thanks for the info.

They're a nice gun, congrats on the Outlaw !!! I've got the Airmax M16, I've put it through it's paces and I just recently did some modding to it and I'll be doing more yet.

Your posts are what got me interested in this gun. I was wanting the Dominator but then all this Diana talk popped up at the shot show so I waited to see what was going to happen. I had bought a Gamo Urban in the meantime and it was a great gun but i really wanted this one and now I was ready to order.

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts too! I was really considering one but ended up with a used condor instead.

Wayne52 · « **Reply #14 on:** April 12, 2018, 05:15:21 AM »

Randy I don't know which caliber that you ordered yours in but I got mine in .22 and there's ample room for modifying it, these guns are very capable of shooting slugs if set up right, after I get it where I want it I'm going to order some Nielsons slugs for it, probably in the mid 25 grain area and try them out in it, the gun is very accurate I must add. Even Nick said somewhere on the forum that he had tried his slugs in this gun and they shot well. I've got more refining to do on my tune of it though, especially on the regulator. I'm very happy that JSAR is going to start ordering these guns because they're a lot of fun and make fantastic lightweight hunters.

These guns are super easy to work on too, mine came with a gauge wrench too which is a very handy item to have cause the gauge is used on many of the SPA products.

I also have an outlaw in .25 otw from AoA. Still trying to figure out which scope will beat suit her.

randy_68 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 12, 2018, 08:10:15 PM »

Mine will be topped with an Optisan Mamba Lite 3x12x44 and I ordered a .22. I have a Cricket in .25 that fulfills my power with accuracy need.

randy_68 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 14, 2018, 06:05:54 PM »

Well it showed up today. Only had time to check it over, mount a scope, clean barrel and shoot 10 18.1 JSB and 10 Crosman 14.3 over the chrony.

Trigger breaks at 1 1/2 lbs and I need to tweak it a bit to my liking. Jsb 18 were 875-890 and CPUM were 970 fps. The ldc is empty so I will make a couple baffles to quiet it down some more. It's not bad now but could use some help. Gun handles and shoulders great. More to come later after more testing.
