tirths,

what do you mean by copy of diana 25? body & shape or the working system? most of the air guns are having more or less same shape & system. then how can we say its a copy of a particular model?

Can you suggest a bolt action or under lever for me? Break barrels are a pain in the backside

Hi Tirths,

> Been noticing your soft corner for Cannon LG65 - any particular reason? You are a better judge to answer this!

> How is it superior to IHP35? Is it the overall design & balance or that they use a seamless tube for the power plant or consistancy in the metal specs viz. trigger blade & piston sear or the quality of seal & adaptor or superior rifling of the barrel?

> What would be the fps as compared to IHP35? Who is the manufacturer? Is it made in Kolkota?

> Truly interested - sort of an education you know!
Cheers

I shall be buying a .22 shortly and am keen to know the answers to Brihacharan's questions before I commit.

Tirths - being a DIY enthusiast, you would probably have the best insight. Apparently you have used both the guns and seem to have a " soft corner for Canon LG65 ".

Do list your reasons .... should make interesting reading.

Thanks

raptor,

Please check 'to sell' column. I have two IHP Hammerli .177 CO2 rifles for sale. They are bolt action.
