As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.

The gun looks to be about as tall as the little fella holding it! ;) Good to see the satisfied smile on his face and it doesn't seem like he is at all daunted by the size of his new toy! :lol:

BTW I've also been toying with the idea of getting a Diana 34 (compact) for a while now, just curious - but any particular reason for picking the full length version? Was it the presence of open sights? Do let us know how she shoots.... and of course congratulations on the new acquisition :)

Cheers!

Abhijeet,

Yes its as tall as he is and is his current favourite....he loves the smooth trigger and always shoots from a rest. Never bearing the weight of the gun.

I say go for it and go for the full version, you won't ever regret it. Its only about three inches longer than an IHP35.
I went for a standard long version mainly because I am slightly built and would use leverage of longer barrel for easier cocking.

It shoots great. Its my first brand new springer and quite frankly its in a totally different league. The trigger, accuracy are awsome and has no twang, jarring at all.

Ofcourse a Venom or JM after market tune kit is on the horizon. Currently feeding her on JSB Exacts. Have ordered a Leapers DN034 mount and matching weaver rings for it. Want to put the Bushnell 5-15x40 scope on it but not sure of the recoil rating. I'd hate to ruin the Bushy even by mistake, so any advice is most gratefully accepted.

Oh, some delay in it leaving the US. Great service from Shane of Airguns of Arizona. Do come over to see it.

I agree with Funtam. USPS takes a month time to land. No tracking so no tension till you get a letter from customs :D

Tirths,

Thats incorrect. Mine took a shade under two weeks from US to Mum via Del and I was tracking it on the USPS website.
