Diana 34p or preferably the Wooden stock

Gamo the common issue is with the trigger pull and latest models cannot be replaced with GRT III Trigger.

Consider both have decent velocities around 1000> FPS with .177

German rifles are better any day compared to the Spain ones :cheers:

Diana please. I guess P has synthetic stock. The wooden stock will be great.

Neither as the good days are over. Unless you have a ten meter dedicated rifle, the customs won't release your rifle. Thank all the a****oles who imported the field airguns two at a time. So don't go for it by courier at least.

WHAT? I was about to order one after working part time as a typist (and developing RSI :( ) Damn! every time I try to do something it gets screwed up. Guess I'd have to settle for an IHP one. But I heard they stopped producing airguns too :(

Disagree the above statement :lol:

I personally know 5+ air rifles got cleared in the last month (Friends, Club Members). None of them were ISSF Competition grade.

Also we have our IFG member who cleared all steel BB Pistols even without club membership in Mumbai (One of the tough customs).

Confirmed this statement. A parcel sailed through yesterday the customs, somewhere in India. The parcel contained a gun in 0.177 calibre which isnt a competition or a match rifle by any stretch of imagination.

:D

BDG: :agree:

Lately what I have heard from Customs (During my visit to Delhi Customs to clear my Daystate) was they check the Calibre and next they see their system for your import record. If you have imported in the past there are chances of getting Showcause Notice and getting detained.

vmanicks:

does your statement imply that you can only import once? or what you mean is that if its your first import, its sails through easily?

Also if you have a bigger budget try for HW30 or HW50
