Diana Oktoberfest BB Rifle

Nicely stained and finished wood stock. Provides a look and feel of quality without needing to be overly concerned about using it. Provides enough weight to absorb recoil without being too heavy to shoot offhand. Bluing is good. Bolt cocking is so “unique”, not difficult. Quality metal mechanic sound and feel. Trigger pull is long and smooth but without a definitive stop before activation - takes focused concentration. Approximately 300 - 400 shots in without sight adjustment and uncleaned barrel 8 of 10 shot groups coverable by a nickel, 5 by a dime from a rest at 5 meters.

Nothing. I favor open sights at 5 and 10 meters even with mid-seventies eyes. However, finding some way to add an optic without changing the gun would garner 5 stars as sights do easily blend into bolt mechanism depending on lighting.

On sale with free shipping this purchase is a no brainer. Rifle rates right up there with a Daisy 499B. If you have been sitting on the fence - don’t. Buy it and have some fun. You’ll enjoy the bolt cocking too.

Husky nice looking, well built, powerful BB gun with a beautiful wood stock and well placed easy to use safety switch. 120 round magazine fills in less than a minute with the provided machined funnel. Wouldn't expect anything less from a Diana product... All this for just a C note too! thanks PA...

Although the sights are well made, the rear sight blends in with the cocking bolt so I'll be removing it eventually and replacing it with an adjustable peep sight on the receiver all the way back just in front of the safety. Easily done with the proper fit-up & the right glue...

This is a great "second to none" gallery gun... It's capable of hitting and going through both sides of a small mushroom tin can at 50 ft. every time. No noise, No $ for Co2, No worries about toxic lead in the back yard and BB's are cheap to shoot. Yee-haw!

Accurate out to 20 yards on soda cans. Incredibly inexpensive to shoot.

The system is very delicate. Care is needed for proper operation and function.

Read the instructions; particularly the warnings and cautions. It’ll prevent future headaches.

Very nice rifled BB rifle! Nice wood stock and pretty accurate with H&N Smart Shot copper plated lead BBs.

The sights. As others stated, they work but are difficult to see with my nearly 70 year old eyes.

Great fun plinking cans with it! My wife even told me how nice it looks and she is not a gun gal. Even though the manual says to only use steel BBs the H&N Smart Shot works great.

Its a great BB gun!!! shoots accurate and smooth and jus a joy to pop cans with or whatever u popping . Plinking same to me,

Nothing again I'm not an engineer jus a goofy ole man who wants everyone to grab one theses and go make some cans sing or a few plastic soldiers to fly up in surprise.. anyway I like it

If ya does happen to grab one up and don't like it send it to me!! Hahaha

A fun plinger!

Not a thing!

A great buy!

Very fond memories of when I was in Germany shooting gallery guns. Love it

Nothing

This BB gun has a barrel that's rifled. I use steel BBs because they feed reliably and after shooting more than 500 rounds has never jammed. Some Lead BBs have reportedly jammed due to size and the lead deforming.

This reminds me of the times I visited those shooting galleries at the different fests in Germany. Fond memories.

Nothing.

Buy lots of ammunition and gallery targets.

I have multiples of these. Got a bunch for the family to shoot at birthday parties, and other family gatherings. Ordered this batch in October of 2025. When you get a nice one, the quality is superb. The manual says "Steel BB's ONLY". But here in the U.S. [.177] steel BB's are actually 4.4mm or smaller. Accuracy is acceptable for a gallery rifle, shooting at [Air Venturi Airgun Slynger Metal Silhouette Targets] within 10 yards. You would get the most out of this rifle ordering 4.4mm lead balls from JG Airguns here in the U.S. [RB44 4.4 Round Ball Lead balls] - since Pyramid does not stock any. You will avoid ricochets if you shoot at steel like I do. And lead BB's will not damage the action/rifling over time. You can also get 4.4mm lead balls from Germany. Diana makes such ammo branded as "Oktoberfest". H&N and SK also make it.

This is a gallery rifle. The sights are adequate, the trigger is adequate. You get a fun repeater that will make you smile - if you set your expectations for what it is. I would not change a thing as this rifle is amazingly good for $99 - which is what they are selling for October 2025.

Going back to "when you get a nice one". I received a few rifles in this batch that were backbored. Reminiscent of arsenals refurbished Mosin Nagant's where the last few inches of the barrels were drilled out to recess the crowns. Pyramid took care of it, no questions asked. They replaced all of them that had this issue.

Very solid. This gun is a must for anyone who likes to shoot BBs. The action is a blast and the accuracy is excellent for a BB gun. Getting 468fps and trigger pull around 3.65#.

The sights. I painted the front blade hi-vis and this helped immensely. The sights are dead on when I can see them.

Pour the BBs very slowly into the funnel ad it won't clog.
