I have been shooting airguns since my teenage years. I owed many airguns over the years.I recommend this break barrel airgun to the shooter who wants power . Hunting small varmints can be done humanly with the 34.For my taste, it is better to have it scoped .Find a scope that can absorb a rather strong recoil.

Plain finish on stock, the RWS 34 Diana air rifle is a good all round rifle. I found that the screws have a tendency to loosen but the rifle is very easy to cock and aim. Its also quite powerful.

Bought my Diana P34 from Pyramid Air 10-22-07. First mag.
German air gun I've bought. Not sure why I waited so long to
make the purchase but I'am glad I did. I can see why this
rifle is well received. At less than $ 200.00 delivered for German
quality you can't go wrong.
I own 5 air rifles. Three of them mags. This rifle is not the most
expensive but it is one of my favorites. If it wasn't so heavy it
would probably hit closer to the top of my collection.
Shooting this rifle i ...

Out of the box to the field for sighting in was not too hard. I bought the optional model with the RWS350 scope which is okay. I replaced the scope with a CenterPoint A/O 3-9-50 with red/green reticle. This scope is a added plus but having a hard time sighting in for a overall zero for a gammet of different loads.
The gun however like most springers was hard to cock at first but gets easier with time.
Not really much breaking in this rifle because it comes to you basically ready for act ...

I think that the RWS 34 Diana Air Rifle has a nice finish, it has great balance, and good accuracy. I have had my Diana model 34 for about 8 years now. It is .177 caliber and does a great job at taking squirrels and rabbits out to 35 yards,(longest distance I have taken game with this rifle). As mentioned in some of the other reviews, this gun does appear to smooth out after a few hundred rounds. ( I have shot about 500 pellets through mine). I topped my 34 with a Daisy Powerline 3-9 variable po ...

I own an R1 and a Kodiak and the RWS 34 is every bit as fun to shoot, and at substantially less dollars. It has less cocking effort and less movement during the firing cycle. I'm actually hitting nail heads on the barn at a measured 34 yards.(scoped of course). It really likes JSB Exacts and Crosman Premiers. This is my first RWS purchase in .22 . At some point I may have it tuned but you know what they say..." If it ain't broke......". An excellent purchase and I may end up getting one in .177.

I found a .22 barrel at a gun show and I can tell you it has become one of my favorites since. The action smoothed right out and it shoots about 860 fps. I have a dampamount installed with a nice scope. It is a sure fire winner if you can drop the $399 I paid (actually fully decked out with sling, mounts, scope and new barrel this little baby is sitting at abut $800 now).

I have owned my RWS Daina 34 for 2 years now and have used it for pest control, squirell hunting and general target practice with only iron sights. This air rifle is a pleasure to shoot, only it gets tiring to carry and cock after a while.

Just received my Model 34. Decided to sight in the iron sights.
First I made sure all the screws were tight and then set the rear
sight in the middle of its adjustment. A target was placed 10 yds
away on the ground. I was laying on the ground and squezzed off the first shot. It hit 2 feet in front of the target. With the rear sight
elevated all the way up. It shot 3 inches below the 2 inch bullseye.
Mind you that's at 10 yds. Amarex said the barrel drops too much.
???. Send it back. At my ...

This could be the best value I have ever experienced in firearms, and truly the most enjoyment I have had with a rifle. I expect to own the RWS Diana 34 for the long haul, very satisfied . This rifle looks awesome, the stock wood is plain but I think it's beautiful. I got the combo and I am impressed with the quality of the scope. I mounted it in a couple of minuets and dialed it in within 6 shots. The standard front sight could use some fiber optic upgrade, the rear sight although plastic help ...

Hey! it's a Diana. This gun is just too good for the value. As soon as you pick it up you can tell it is a classic. It shoots smooth and is very accurate. I mean very accurate. This gun shoots well out of the box, in open sights. This gun has great balance. I can group shots the size of a dime at 25 yards in the sitting position. This rifle is very powerful in it's class. I have the 460 Magnum in 22. cal. which is an extremely powerful rifle. I have fired both weapons into a telephone book at ...

I got the .22 caliber version, and boy howdy you know when you've hit the target! It has excellent power and has reminded me what hold sensitivity means.
It takes some effort to cock so you wont be getting several shots off in rapid succession unless you're like Ahnold, but I'm good with that. My arm gets tired fairly quickly if I try to shoot several rounds too fast. This Model 34 hefts like a powder burner, and I think the addition of a sling would be advisable for any field treks.
I purcha ...

Money well spent. It is very dependable. A gun you enjoy showing to others and watching their face as they shoot it. Mine is a 22 cal and shocks most folks with its power. This gun is a great representative to bring others to air gunning. It dismisses the thought that some have that air guns are just for kids.

Buy one today... if you are contemplating a 1000 fps pellet rifle you can find nothing that can compete with this German made wundergun! Accuracy is through the roof and that's about the only way to judge a gun. If you can shoot you can hit with this thing out to 80 yards. No joke... buy one today.

I've had my mod 34 for 7ish years now. I have fired many pellets through it over the years and I am very pleased with the gun. I only wish I would have tried it in .22 cal. (mine is .177). I squirrel hunt with it with great results though. I put a Burris 3x9 air gun scope on it, which cost more than the gun, but I think a good scope is 1 of the 3 major factors in having a air rifle to do serious hunting with. The other 2 being good quality pellets, and practice. As far as pellets go, my gun sho ...

Overall a great gun! Good gun for your money. Also the trigger is a little tough not too bad, it doesn't bother me in the slightest. Cocking this rifle is tougher than some people expect, I figured it would be tough cause the rifle is heavy. My RWS 34 is a finely made rifle

There's really no good reason to avoid the RWS34. It's reliable, well made, and backed by a decent warranty. But it just doesn't have that much to recommend it, either.
The appearance of the rifle does not disappoint. The metalwork and machining are excellent, the woodwork a notch below that. The sights are simple but robust (non-fiberoptic).
It's a bit on the heavy side and surprisingly hard to cock given the power level (a little lower than something like a Gamo Shadow or a Crosman Quest ...

Just got this rifle about 5 days ago, so can't comment about reliability. On the other hand, this thing LOOKS like it should outlast me (except, maybe, for the plastic parts). I was immediately impressed by how well made it seemed to be. A bit long and a bit heavy, but BUILT. I'm relatively new to airguns, but have about four decades of experience with firearms. I have recently purchased several air rifles and pistols, but I have to say this is the one that has impressed me the most. It wa ...

I've had this rifle for over a year now and I decided that its time to write up a good review about it. I got this rifle by cobraairguns.com and do suggest that if your going to get it, to get it from this website. This rifle is very accurate (up to 90 yards with the scope). This rifle is a breeze to cock and load, anyone can do it. My friend has a FX GLADIATOR which is very expensive, and I personally like this one better because of its power (1000 fps).
One thing that I wished that I would ...
