I'm still jonesing for a .22 hunter, and I've narrowed down my list. Has to be .22, repeater, at least 30 fpe, good trigger, etc. First on the list would be an FX Cyclone synthetic, I'm still kicking myself for selling mine. Second choice would be a BSA Sportsman HV. Was thinking about a Marauder, but have since changed my mind. Open to other offers, though.
Rifle #1 is a Diana 46E .177 with the T01 trigger. This rifle is in beautiful shape, and I've just done a complete tune with a JM tune kit, new Apex seal, and buttoned piston. I also just replaced the cocking arm, since the original broke. Haven't had time to chrony it lately, but it was doing just under 800 fps with JSB Expresses immediately post tune. VERY accurate, 1/2" or less at 20 yards, and I don't shoot springers worth a damn any more :-).
Rifle #2 is my Hammerli Pneuma .177. I've done a lot of work on this one, it shoots very nice, but I'm still struggling with an air leak. Have it apart at the moment to try another fix (DISREGARD: It looks like my latest fix worked, FINALLY!). I just recently did a stock swap, it now sports a very nice wood stock, totally changes the character of this rifle. Accuracy and power are both very good, trigger is very acceptable for a rifle that's primarily meant to be a hunter. Power is 20 fpe plus, accuracy is 1/4" at 20+ yards with CPH's.
I'd happily trade both rifles for a Cyclone, or either for the HV. Other offers on a case by case basis. Guess I need to put a price on these, either rifle would be $400, if I were to include the BKL 260D7 scope mount with the 46, price on that one would be $450. Prices are plus shipping, USPS MO or PayPal (+3%). Both rifles will ship in original boxes with original docs. Any questions, you know how to reach me. Later, and thanks for looking.
