Hi new member here. I just ordered a Diana 34 and have read they kick a bit . does anyone know an aftermarket recoil pad that fits this gun well?Ive heard Limbsaver are good but I dont know which model fits.
Thanx for any Help!

Wait 'till you get it and try it out. I suspect it won't be as bad as you think... I shot a friend's RWS36 (which I believe is the same action), and it wasn't objectionable at all.

I also have the 36 which is the same gun with a fancier stock. The kick is nothing more than a little jolt I would say. A 300 Win mag kicks, a 12 gauge kicks, an air rifle doesn't kick in the same sense. It...kinda just gives a little jolt. Nothing more that a 22 lr would, not to me anyway. I kicks in the realm of an air rifle as most air rifles we grew up with, mostly pumper's and c02 and such didn't kick at all. As for adult air rifles when compared to more civilized air rifles you will feel the "kick". Just my .02 pennies

Dave...I've had my Diana 34 for a couple of weeks and I've no problem with it's lack of a pad. i wondered myself when I bought it, and almost bought a pad at the time of purchase...glad I didn't, as the recoil is no problem.  You're really going to like your 34, Dave. Regards, Bryan K.
