2240 with HPA conversion, steel breech, and 18 inch barrel is my favorite, you can pump with high pressure hand pump (never have to buy c02), lasts forever.
Thank you for watching and commenting! I do enjoy the dianas..I have 380.00 in a 2240 that is not as powerful or accurate as the chaser in .22 cal that kit was 129.00 when I got them.I have a. 177 as well. and a Stormrider .22 which is the same barrel as I have on the Bandit...I call it the Storm-Bandit..lol.. you saw the first video today where it hit over 1000 fps on a 9.7 g trophy green?. After the first two shots it gets 7 good power shots before it gets below 700 fps on the 14.3 g pellets. Thanks again!!
Great job Gerry! I've missed your videos because YT turned off my notifications to your channel! JSYK The Chaser has a 3.3" longer barrel which will increase the speed. I think the pumper is close . Which one is more accurate between the Chaser and Drifter with the same optics?
The Bandit with that longer barrel definitely is way more power over the other two rifles. Did the extended barrel add over 200 fps over the stock bandit barrel?
Got a weird tune here on a chaser .177......used a 1 mm oring....613 fps...2 nd shot...then a quick drop off.....low shot count....even lower than a 2 mm oring...... Do you think it could be some type of hammer bounce?.... I'm getting less shots than totally stock... And lower ' per second at shot #20 then stock.... Tried this twice.....
Yeah that's the problem with tuning on a airgun... I've had to take a 2240 apart half a dozen times to get it right...I had one that I had to put back stock because it would not work with the changes I did...seems like they have a mind of their own...definitely sounds like something going on with the hammer..
@@gwhitfield4239 your welcome I picked up another 1377 and was wondering if I want to convert it to 22 if I'd have to change out anything else I have an extra transfer port from a 362 that I can drop in it if they are different
@@danielk8149 besides the breech and barrel...and that tf port...I can't think of anything....the valves are the same.....I bought a Crosman 1377 at academy sports and got it home and looking at it was stamped 1322. I contacted Crosman and they said they used spare 1322 frames for 1377s as they were more popular than the 1322s at the time and had run out of 1377 stampd frames..& I got one of them...🤣 oh yeah the bolt probes are different too.but you knew that already..
@@gwhitfield4239 cool I probably will end up doing the buck rail folder on it so I can toss it in a pack and do his optical mounts and yes the probe I'll get a barrel with the extended probe .I like those crosmans
@@markharlacher6183 high output valves, oversize transfer ports, steel breeches, scopes, longer barrels, extended bolt probes, heavier hammer spring, only thing I didn't bother with was hammer spring adjusters and trigger adjusters...don't need em...
I've tested my 1322 with h&n crow magnums 18.XX grain at 10 pumps and I was hitting 419-425 on 5 shot spread most were like 422 average on stock barrel and insides only mods are the crosman stock, 4*15 crosman scope, buck rail larger pump handle, and buck rail suppressor

I've thought about that and I may still!!
Wow I'm surprised at how close they are awesome video brother keep them coming you know it's awesome sauce
Thanks Big Lou!!👊 I'm conjuring up something for next week!!😊
Nice video. Really enjoyed it. I also have a 17 and 22 Diana Bandit and to the Chasers combos

great collection
Thank you Stonie for watching and commenting!..
Awesome man. Jerry have you seen the Buttstock for the Chaser for sale anywhere ? I 'm trying to find one for my Bandit setup.. I'm having no luck !
I saw em about a year ago but I'm not sure where....I'll do some research and see if I can help you find one...👍

The chaser...I'm not kidding...they are less pellet picky than the crosmans.....barrels are better in my opinion 😉
In literally brand new to pellet guns. How many shots can you get out of a CO2 with this type of pellet gun?
The Diana chaser is very good on co2 usage I've got 70 shots on a 12g co2 canisters before!.👍 they are almost 2x the shots of a crosman 2240.
👍😉 nice review 👍😉
Thanks for watching and commenting!!
The barrel length Fact is a factor
True, with a. 20" barrel on it the drifter would be more powerful than the chaser 👍 thanks for watching!!
The Bandit with that longer barrel definitely is way more power over the other two rifles.
Did the extended barrel add over 200 fps over the stock bandit barrel?
Yeah about 170-190 fps I think 🤔
Very nice set up with your modifications.😎🇺🇸
I really like the ldc you have on the Drifter. Which one is it? Enjoyed the video! These lower powered guns are so much fun to shoot.
Eddie it's a modified Buck Rail
That broke in half and I did a little work on it.. thanks for watching Eddie! And commenting!
@@gwhitfield4239 Good work! It looks great on the Drifter and it still sounds quiet.
@@eddieb1766 I found out that on the lower power ones I have... that only half of the LDC is actually needed...
@@gwhitfield4239 That's good information. I like to keep my guns as short as possible.

$1,042 that is very impressive
I know huh? I was impressed 🤣
We need a video of all those who shot their chronographs more than once.😂
I have one on the way and DO NOT WANT to KILL my $150 investment.🇺🇸
Is that a stock Diana chaser?
Yea it is mark!. Other than that longer kit barrell..it's stock. I only did internal work on the crosmans..
What work did you do on the crosman I've seen guys hit 500 with them stock on 14.3 gr
