Re: Diana model 36
I have no experience with the model 36, but I have a RWS (Diana) 45 and it has proven to be a very reliable air rifle.

if memory serves me right , the D35 was replaced the D36 some where around the mid 1980's. the 35 was a great gun and an all time favourite during the 70's and well into the 80's here.
the 36 and the 34 is , I believe , are the same models. there was also a model 38, which again , I believe is the same. I guess the same make guns were sold with different nomenclatures. there may have been differences in the quality and shape of stocks , but the action and the internals were identical. as the 34 was more of a " no frills' budget version , it went on to become Diana's top gun.
the velocity in 22 is advertised as 800fps.....
you would also need to look at the trigger configuration on your gun; TO1 , TO5 etc. if your gun is the very early model , it MAY have the ball bearing type trigger as the D35...I DO NOT KNOW.
as to specs...here is one with the TO5 trigger.

I did use the d35 a lot...about the D36 , I guess any one owning a D34 can enlighten you on performance. similar guns , as mentioned earlier , with a few cosmetic changes.
