Got the.22 cal Mendoza off via Fed-Ex this morning, and everything in the return process went smoothly. Hate it, but had to do it. Now I'm debating what to replace it with. I've looked at the Diana 34's with the wood stock ( don't care for synthetics too much) but it's only offered with a right-handed cheek pad for around $40 more. Another is the RWS 350 Feuerkraft, which has the ambidextrious stock, only $208 more,...ouch. The Beemans/Weihrauch's are super nice looking and excellent in quality from the reviews I've read, but on my budget, not very close to being considered. I do want one that CDT can/will work on too. Been down the China road, but would rather stick to the European/European influenced brands. I suppose the ultimate decision will depend on a rifle that wll last for years, that I can pass down to my daughter when my number comes up. Wonder if the stocks are replaceable on these two models?!?!?! Anyone have a suggestion.
I did have a few offerers to buy a rifle through this site. Many thanks to those that made an offer to me. But the way I see it, I'd rather get a new one and if it goes south, I'll have only myself to blame, and totally eliminate the notion of getting a dud from a fellow member. Not that I think that would happen at all (wouldn't even want to think of it happenning!!!!!!), but the guarentee of it occuring would be non-exsistant. Happy Shooting, tjk
