I didn't even realize how much of a monster this gun was, and that reciprocating action thing😮 I remember ogling this gun..or at least a similar one in Cabelas when I was a kid just because of the FPS.

Probably good that they didn’t. 😀 Then you don’t have to deal with the regrets that your younger self didn’t take the best care with it. My beloved ‘85 RWS Model 36 bears the scars of an 8th grader who didn’t take care of the stock as well as I would today. I’ve taught myself to not get bummed about small nicks, dents and scratches in new vehicles as that adds Alaskan character. But I still can’t view the water damage to my Model 36’s stock through that lens… yet.
@@airgunsofalaska Oh yeah, looking back I can't believe the abuse I put my 34 through. Dropping it in the water/mud, keep shooting it without any cleaning or drying, stuffing bbs in the breech with grass to keep them in place, leaving it out in the rain, telling my dog to bite the stock. Just adds character to it now haha. I guess once we grow up that's when we start with 'ah dangit, a scratch on my gun/truck'😄
@@yoitired I think you’re right! I remember shooting match heads out of my Crosman 760 as they were kinda incendiary rounds when they hit something just right. 🤦♂️ Buuuuut…. I think that be fun to try again on some junker airgun I don’t care about. 😀
I've had mine for 5 years now in .22, tuned for 22FPE with JSB 16gr at 787fps... That Bullseye has been on my junk shelf for years but my UTG 10X50 30MM Accshot with etched glass reticle is still holding with no poi shifts... I can get one inch groups at a 100 yards as long as I do my part... Just a side note me and many others do a little work to sled system as it does aid in accuracy ... Amazing gun and have fun with it!!! Also look up tuning tricks for the 54 air king and many Facebook group have many owner as my self..
Best mount, if you are concerned about recoil, is a Sportsmatch dampa-mount. They are designed for gas-rams primarily. For a springer and a 54 in particular, since the whole action is on a sledge, I'd just use a quality one piece with a recoil stud or fix an arrestor block. Scotland UK
Thanks buddy! Your videos inspired me to start looking for my collection of slingshots (catapults). I was disappointed to discover yesterday that Fred Meyers, one of the big box dept stores in Alaska no longer carries replacement bands. I remember reading they’d quit selling firearms a couple years ago. Apparently they decided to also quit selling airguns and slingshots too. Ridiculous!
I can put pellet on pellet with only sights at 60 yards. The gun is amazing! In my opinion a scope detracts because it makes it too heavy, if you like to stand and shoot
Good shooting and a great rifle Diana have just taken them back into Germany as they were made in the east some were and its like been done this month great rifles its a Hw97 or the Diana big under lever we will see
I have the 48, same action but it is fixed to the stock, love it, a fixed barrel gun the AA tx200 and the weirauch 97, the are inherently more accurate than a break barrel. This one is fixed barrel also and the sliding action takes the hold factor out of the equation and should be very repeatable. Genius design.
The Diana guns are just amazing! I own three different Diana’s. I’ve currently got my Airking in storage but I want to compare some other guns to it so I’ll like get it back out in a couple months.
if the scope gets exactly back in the starting point of the mount the play does not matter ,there are positions conical pins if its the same as the orginal diana mount
I agree to an extent. But, as the sliding parts wear, the tolerances will become looser and accuracy will suffer. Perhaps a buffer of some fashion could be fitted to the rear of the sliding action to reduce the shock to the scope? I should do some research as the gun doesn’t recoil hard in any way to the shooter. I’d just read the Air King was a scope killer and didn’t want to damage my scopes. Maybe it doesn’t even need this mount?
Just got my Air King Pro Laminate 22 caliber on 9/25/23 . My first attemp at shooting was disappointing as I tried to cock the gun , the sear would not catch so here I am adjusting the trigger on a 800.00 pellet gun . Then on my second and third try the recoil pins have C-clips that just took off . So a trip to the hardware store was in order . All back together now and hoping for better luck . People can say what they want but I never had any such issues with my Gamo's . One positive note ...very easy to work on . I would take your stock off frequently to make sure everything is in place . Maybe better quality inspections are the answer ? This one may have been overlooked ? Really beautiful rifle , hope I don't have to send her back 😮💨
I’d contact the company and let them know as that’s totally unacceptable! My first Air King arrived with a huge crack in the stock. Back to Amazon it went. The second one arrived in perfect shape and I’ve been shooting it for the past 6 years with zero issues.
@@joedokes8641 I’m left wondering if QC has gone downhill for all airgun manufacturers? My air valve exhaust port was misaligned on my Crosman 362. I had to realign it myself. The Seneca Dragonfly I owned briefly literally had parts falling off it as I shot the gun. The Mag-Fire Extreme I also briefly owned had an alignment issue and shaved pellets as they loaded into the breech and the auto loading mechanism kept sticking. That POS went back to Airgun Depot for a full refund. My Benjamin 397 starting holding air within the first month or two of use. I guess the Germans aren’t immune to post COVID quality problems either? For the price though it’s simple unacceptable.
Good point ? It makes me wonder as well . My second Dragonfly is doing well so far . I don't think the Germans are immune to QC issues .My Gamo Hunter Extreme Gen 1 was made in England and the only issue with that was the POS scope that came with it . Almost sold it thinking it was the rifles problem , glad I didn't that thang is a hammer.
I really like the gun but it’s kinda limited in what I use it for. I’ve found I shoot less expensive guns way more often. Seems counter intuitive but for some reason that’s what happens.
I purchased a new one last August. Biggest disappointment in my air rifle life. Nothing worked. First time cocking gun, sear would not release. And to top everything off it’s barrel droop was so bad that my ZR mount could not bring it up, ran out of scope elevation adjustment. It also shot to far to the left , ran out of windage adjustment and came with a torn breech seal . There was more power in a cheep sling shot. Paid over$ 1000.00, owned it for two days but dealer would not take it back, had to be shipped to warranty at my expense. Diana warranty had it 8 months , sent it back , replaced trigger , spring but not breech seal and didn’t address other issues. Disappointing to say the least. Finally Hector Medina , world class air-gunsmith from Maryland offered to fix the barrel and some other things. He is affiliated with Diana and is on the US Springer National Team that competed in the World Championships in 😮South Africa this summer. He is also a great guy. He also worked on the ZR mount so 0 lateral play. I now have a very accurate 54 but took a year of stress and much disappointment to get there.
Very very nice gun.....i almost got one ...but the weight put me off as i wanted one for pesting on the farm....so i opted for the 52, which is basically the same gun without the recoilless system...try some 15.89 jsb pellets in it.....
It’s definitely a chunky airgun! I only tend to shoot it from the bench or offhand. I hear many good things about JSB pellets but so far I’ve not found them to be twice as good as other pellets even though they cost twice as much.
Seems like it comes in a bunch of different stocks... laminated and wood in the same style and then this checkered style you have... do you know what the deal with that is?
@@airgunsofalaska Did some research just now, so the RWS version is just under RWS branding and comes with a different stock than non-RWS branded ones. The stock is a LOT better for the RWS version, ergonomically and quality wise so I do think it's the one to go for.
" Mom Dad my birthday is coming up,," " Yes thats right you do , do you still want that 10 dollar Corvette model "? " Yes either that or the $650.00 RWS Diana Model 54 "
If you club it with it. Get a 50 ft/lb plus PCP, use heavy slugs and you'd be good for 40 yards, but really better off with a firearm....you CAN get airguns capable of even big game, but it's really reinventing the wheel... there's better devices for it No firearm is as good for rabbits, rats, squirrels and pigeons though as a silenced PCP
I have the same for a few years but havent used it that much yet. All is good but im not happy with the trigger. Right before it shoots it feels like "scratching" something or "stucking" slightly which makes me put more power to my finger to pull the trigger and makes the gun moves right where im dead zero on scope and that is very irritating. I hope after some more use the trigger to "brake in" although i dont really think so this may happen.
So far I’ve not noticed it with mine. I’ve never even adjusted its trigger because it’s so much better than my other guns. But, because I like to shoot less expensive guns a lot, I’m always impressed with how much better the Air King’s trigger is.
Correct, mount like this is guarantee that accuracy will be ruined. There is movement always when for precision even 0.1 mm up or down is negative for grouping. Quality mounts are essential . This mount will never hold zero.
@@airgunsofalaska I currently own a model 48 and a 460. Neither has a scope. Leupold and hawke airmax both claim that they can handle a magnum springer. You have any experience with scope longevity.

@@rakhranwan20log88 yes, the floating action does a really nice job at isolating the shooter from the kick and vibration of the spring. It’s a really nice system.

I returned it for the one I have now. I don’t remember what the scope mount cost but I bought it after I got the gun.
@@Relaxbadkneeadventures for sure! I remember the very first time I shot it. I was so blown away with the smoothness I ran back inside to tell my wife how impressed I was with it. I then realized just how well built and quality feeling an airgun could be. The downsides are that it’s so nice that I don’t want to shoot it in the rain where it’ll get wet or take it out in the field where I could drop it or have it get dirt and grit into the action. I feel way more comfortable using something a lot less expensive for that.
Too heavy and expensive. Buy a modern pcp like brocock, avenger x fx line. Pcps are alot more accurate and light weight. Shoot slugs and play with different power settings and pellet grains.
Pros and cons, pros and cons. You don’t mention the need for a compressor if a guy wants to shoot a PCP regularly and with rhythm that a springer or a pumper allows. I have a hand pump and dislike the long durations of pumping to recharge. The Air King excels at being accurate and self contained. All I need is it and a ton of pellets and I can shoot and shoot. It all depends on what you want to do and what you want to spend money on.
@@sid35gb Not even close. With my Walter LG400 Anatomic I can put literally pellet on pellet. But Diana is one of 4 the best springers next to Weihrauch HW97k, Air Arms tx200 and Walther LGU . Diana is something unique and like all top springers more fun factor than PCP's. But quality PCP is definitely much more accurate.

Pros and cons, pros and cons. You don’t mention the need for a compressor if a guy wants to shoot a PCP regularly and with rhythm that a springer or a pumper allows. I have a hand pump and dislike the long durations of pumping to recharge. The Air King excels at being accurate and self contained. All I need is it and a ton of pellets and I can shoot and shoot.
It all depends on what you want to do and what you want to spend money on.
Lol the Diana is just as accurate as a PcP.
The springer is what keeps it fun.
@@sid35gb Not even close. With my Walter LG400 Anatomic I can put literally pellet on pellet. But Diana is one of 4 the best springers next to Weihrauch HW97k, Air Arms tx200 and Walther LGU . Diana is something unique and like all top springers more fun factor than PCP's. But quality PCP is definitely much more accurate.
But......most of pcp,s have air leakage after a period of usage.😒
Gran video y una carabina buenísima.
