help needed

[GOCOOL2000]

hi guys,
after much thought i decided not to get a .22 calibre air rifle when i come to india. instead i want your opinion of getting a Diana 350 Magnum Classic professional from gunmark armoury from pune. i e mailed him and he quoted 54k for it. i know its very high. but i dont want to try bringing one from here and losing it.
i can get scope when i come to india from uk, i shortlisted bushnell 3-9x40 and i also dont know which mount will fit the diana 350. so i need your help on that as well.
i had enquired him about the 470th target hunter. he said that it will be available late september.
do we get weihrauch air rifles in india?? what do you think guys???

It's your money.But,if you plan to get a .177, I do not see a reason why you should not get a nice HW77k or 97 or an Airarms TX-200. Go through the importing an air rifle section well.Your choice finally.

thanks vikram, am considering.. is there a big diff. between a .22 and .177. am going to use it mostly for hunting.

". am going to use it mostly for hunting." Hunting is prohibited in India rest others can chime in for .177 vs .22 .

Since you are in Aberdeen, you can get a lot of hunting there.If you are talking about India,all hunting is banned in India. Whatever anyone tells you,should you err,you will be inviting a lot of trouble.

I would suggest a .177.Easy to take home one with you and very good for target practice.
