After watching the first video you did on the Two Forty I decided to pick one up and collect some of the youth break barrels. So far I have the Diana Two Forty, Stoeger S3000c, Hatsan Alpha and the Crosman Phantom. The Two Forty is my favorite but they are all fun. Thanks for all the videos.....
Very impressive, great shooting, I have been looking at this rifle since your last video, for me it's all about enjoyment, I dont mind if it has 5 or 25 FPE, neither do I mind if it's made in China, today I am ordering one, thanks for sharing. 👍👍
@@razor1962 I was referring to the last 2 weeks or so since the Tracker video which I suggested that the accuracy problem may have been the scope. I enjoy your videos but sometimes forget you are still working. Oops, my bad. I do look for updates daily Kevin. Too bad you can't make a living making videos.
🥰Great vid as always Kevin, this just made my Sunny Sunday perfect!...I had just packed away all my gear and sat down with a fresh coffee after a morning on the home range plinking with the wife and my new KWC 1911*. (and the .30 carnivore 'finally' got sighted in 😂..my poor backboard suffered today!🤣) Kia Kaha Kevin, many thanks for sharing and hope your well mate. (...that trigger!! 😶) *OMG these .177 steel BB 1911's by KWC are SOOO much fun! 🤗
I wouldn't say inexpensive when compared to the prices of alternative offerings for a first time youth rifle, more like a very affordable quality rifle and well worth that little extra.
Nice job, I’m 74 years old, have to shoot left hand due to a right eye injury, with a stroke about 6 years ago leaving my left side not so good, but getting back to some shooting for fun and help in teaching my left hand and arm more dexterity. It has worked for fretting my guitars and while the WR50 would be a perfect gun I live on social security and some odd jobs so money is very tight. I did buy a Hatsan 1000S Striker in .177, wrongly thinking it was a medium springer, but the cocking effort makes me put the but of the gun on the ground so I can put my weight on it. I’ll keep the Hatsan for pest control and maybe some rabbit stew, but need to advance my springer/shooting skills or lack of. If you or anyone reading this can suggest a springer that has a bit more power with a reasonable cocking force, and a wooden stock please suggest. Thanks for your videos I have enjoyed them.
Well, you've mentioned that you'll keep the Striker for small game and pests, so a less powerful rifle would suit just fine for any other task that one could ask of a springer. That being said, in my opinion, the perfect rifle for your needs is an HW30S or the Beeman R7. They're the same rifle in different stocks. Both are worth a look. They're a little pricey but in this case, you will get what you pay for and more. Just a superb rifle built with quality and performance in mind. Not to mention what is arguably the finest trigger that you'll find on any sporting springer. Here's one of my vids of the 30 ruclips.net/video/PB2WV_-r6HQ/видео.htmlsi=7gTIYkITbmjLY_6- Thanks for watching, my friend.
Wish you could try the gamo swarm whisper in .22 This gun is the Glock19/ AK47 of air rifles( amazing accuracy, 10 shot robust repeater, light weight, excellent for hunting and tons of fun for plinking).
@WalnutandSteel He does, indeed. I snatched up a 400 with exceptional grain to the stock. I think that you'll be impressed. You get a lot of gun for the money.
Hi Kevin! for that money it's a very good choice for sure, but to be honest i would buy as a parent the HW30 and let my kids shoot with it too 😆😆😆Thanks for showing my friend 👍
Shot number I don't know lol love it ,just bought a AGT Vixen ,£1295 just for the rifle, I then think how many springers I could of got with that money ,but her indoors said only 2 guns lol ,so the Vixen and HW97K will do 😊
Any man with a Mrs. AND a vixen is a man to be recond with. 😉 I sold all but a handful of my PCPs. My first-generation AGT Vulcan is at the top of that list.
@@razor1962 You're welcome 😊 Question for you, have you shot the Gamo swarm hunter springer? You can only get it off Gamo`s website. The reason I'm asking is because I got one last year for $139 and it my first spring gun, now that I learned to shot it well, I can get dime size groups at 25 yards. I can't believe it shots that well for the price and I'm still new to spring guns.
Hello again, As I mentioned in response to your comment on another video, I currently don't have a Diana Model 35, but if I do pick one up one day, it will have a TO6. Thanks again, my friend.
Hello, my friend. This is a question that you must ask yourself. I don't own a Diana 56 (yet,) so I really have no experience with which to provide any insight into the rifle. I can, however, vouch for the quality and accuracy of the HW97. I would imagine that a solid, fixed barrel, "recoil reduced" rifle ought to be able to compete with the 97 in the accuracy dept., but again, I can only speculate. Thanks for watching.
I did something to the trigger that made it downright dangerous. The case hardening is very thin on those engagement surfaces. I broke through it, and the sear began to fail. I ended up reshaping the engagement surfaces to get the sear to hold. Thanks for watching, my friend.
Good to see you enjoying your shooting with a inexpensive rifle showing people don't have to spend a small fortune, thanks Kevin
It's also nice to get good performance from an inexpensive rifle. It makes the shooting experience much more rewarding. Thanks for watching.

If it was made in Germany it would at least cost $200 , what a dinky sweet air gun, thank you for sharing ❤
Glad to have you back!!
I've been back since February. 🤣
Which begs the question....Where have YOU been ? 😊
Thanks as always, my friend.

I just pick up the Diane 250 thumb hole love it good shooting Kevin
😎👍
Thanks, Peter. Enjoy your new rifle.
@@razor1962 got a bad wrist and shoulder going for shots in may 1961
@PeterAgostiniJdcap26 Best of luck. Hoping that those shots make a huge difference.

you and I got to get out to the range. Thanks for the shearing

Good catch. There's no such thing as " inexpensive " anymore. 😉
Indeed impressive for the budget price.
I was certainly surprised. Thanks for watching.

Beautiful shooting from what seems a solid little gun.
Thanks very much. It's a little more than you'd expect at its price point.
Kevin great video and you made the 240 look good
Thanks, Mike, but the Two Forty made itself look good.👍
When you're punching paper there is a lot to be said for easy cocking and no recoil 👍
Wish you could try the gamo swarm whisper in .22
This gun is the Glock19/ AK47 of air rifles( amazing accuracy, 10 shot robust repeater, light weight, excellent for hunting and tons of fun for plinking).
Ya' never know, Paul. One may show up on the channel one day.
Evening Kevin! Nice plinker!
Howdy Nibs. Always a pleasure, sir.
Jon shipped my Cometa 300 today. I am excited to see that! he said he had something special heading back to you as well!
@WalnutandSteel He does, indeed. I snatched up a 400 with exceptional grain to the stock.
I think that you'll be impressed. You get a lot of gun for the money.
I posted a picture he sent me in the community section of my channel
@@WalnutandSteel That's a very attractive rifle. I'll be watching for it on your channel.
Hi Kevin! for that money it's a very good choice for sure, but to be honest i would buy as a parent the HW30 and let my kids shoot with it too 😆😆😆Thanks for showing my friend 👍
The HW30 sets the bar for all other springers, which are aimed at the youth market. Can't go wrong with a 30. Thanks as always, Ron.
Nice little budget rifle!!
Exactly. Thanks for watching, my friend.

@@razor1962 😉😆👍
Impressive little break barrel. Id take accuracy over power all day long
Absolutely. I can throw a rock with a rock with a heck of a lot more terminal energy, but I'd be lucky to hit anywhere near what I'm aiming for....🤣
hola kevin, muy buen video. saludos desde Granada ( spain)
Thank you, my friend.
Another enjoyable video !
Thanks Steve. Much appreciated.

coul make a good match with my airbug,
also think about DAISY MODEL 499B, single shot "match" BB for inside 6 yards , keeping the skills.
take care
It's a terrific little rifle for the price tag. Thanks for watching, my friend.
Kevin make video on Diana 35 t06 . And what u think about d35 how's airgun?
Hello again,
As I mentioned in response to your comment on another video, I currently don't have a Diana Model 35, but if I do pick one up one day, it will have a TO6.
Thanks again, my friend.
Good day, I want some advice. What will be the better buy, a hw77 or diana 56? Thanks from SA
Hello, my friend. This is a question that you must ask yourself. I don't own a Diana 56 (yet,) so I really have no experience with which to provide any insight into the rifle. I can, however, vouch for the quality and accuracy of the HW97.

Did you do something to the trigger to make it acceptable?
I did something to the trigger that made it downright dangerous. The case hardening is very thin on those engagement surfaces. I broke through it, and the sear began to fail. I ended up reshaping the engagement surfaces to get the sear to hold.
Thanks for watching, my friend.
He he, you're still not putting the pellets in a row out of the tin to keep count Kevin??, what's that old saying about dogs and tricks again? 🤣
I'll never learn.....😔
❤❤❤❤❤❤🌹
👍 Thank you, my friend.
Maybe 25 yds is too far for such a low powered gun. Same power as my Walther LG400 10m indoor target rifle.
I don't know. I was pretty impressed with the performance from the Two Forty at 25 yards. Thanks for watching.
mister Kevi,n ;for kids ist a super gun ,but as gift on our best frend? dangerus not
Dangerous, indeed.
Trigger is soooo bad
No argument here.....Gotta tell it like it is.
