OK, for anyone thinking about getting a Diana 34 but not sure they want to drop two bills down for one,....this would be the opportune time to try out this rifle design and see if it's for you. I'd say it is a good bet most folks will like it out of the box. Tune it later,..... That's up to each individual. Say by some chance, if you decide to get a different caliber, then invest in the "genuine article" Diana 34. You won't be sorry!! tjk
