Pros
I am satisfied. before I bought, I saw and knew what I was buying and what was waiting for me
Quieter than a break barrel rifle. I got a good pattern at 50 ft
Pros
More powerful than anticipated. Nice heavy feel. I like the finger grips. Good, easy to see sights
Cons
Nothing at this time. I guess the strength needed to cock is needed for the power
It has a great safety feature: it locks on lading. If you’re accurate its accurate.
Pros
Quality Product and a lot of fun. With the price of rounds moving up, this is will reduce your ammunition cost for target practicing.
Cons
I have no real cons, it is on the heavy side, but no problem.
Pros
Accurate, fun to shoot !!
Cons
Velocity is only 550, nowhere near 700 fps.
Love it
Pros
Longevity built!
Cons
None!
The accuracy of this pellet gun is impeccable! Great power with capabilities of small game hunting. In my opinion H&N Hornets & JSB Diablos are the best for squirrels, pigeons,crows etc!
Pros
Very well built, quiet & accurate that packs a punch!!!
Cons
None!
h&n match green work well.
Pros
very fast and accurate.
Cons
none
Diana makes great guns. Airgun Depot stands with their customers.
Pros
More a review of Airgun Depot. So I bought a Diana LP8, was really excited to get it. When it came it was immediately apparent it suffered severe barrel droop. At end of adjustments it shot 5 inches low at 10 yards, with great precision though, I might add. Called Airgun, set up a return and exchange. They had my new one shipped, FedEx, came on a Sunday, before my return made it back to them. They were also correct; barrel droop on an LP8 is extremely rare. The new one with minimal tweaking, ten shots at 15 by yards, see attached photo. I think that’s pretty good. 8.6 grain Trophy H&N’s.
Cons
Really nice pistol. Easy to cock, lots of power, appears to shoot heavier pellets tighter than light ones but I’ve only had the replacement 2 hours.
Compact and powerful. Easy to cock, not loud, and very accurate. Mine is outfitted with a BSA Edge scope
Pros
Great for target practice and small game hunting. Plenty of punch with right pellets.
Cons
None.
Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.Does anyone find this gun shooting low. I raised the rear site all the way up and still find you can't align as shown in instruction book to raise point of impact any higher. The front sight is very high and the rear sight doesn't raise high enough to compensate. Also discovered in the instruction manual that the direction to raise impact is the reverse of what it should be. This is not really a problem because on the sight it says to turn clockwise for up. I'm sighting in at 10 meters and can live with the adjustment. Forget 15 or 20 meters. Otherwise the sights are nice.
asked Ken from USADoes this gun come with a case? If not does anyone know of a case the gun will fit in.
asked Ken from USAThe gun does not come with a case. BD423 $44.99
Mark from USADoes anything come with the gun to make it easier to charge the gun? Or do they sell an accessory for that purpose? Also does it come with a case?
asked Ken from USAThere is a cocking aid that slides over the barrel. It comes with the gun.
Mark from USAHow many lbs of effort does it take to charge the gun? Also does this gun charge when opening the action, or when closing the action?
asked Ken from USACocking Effort 19 lbs
Mark from USAI own a LP5 an would like to put a scope on it .Is this possible.
asked RichWhat is the overall length
asked BillDiana RWS LP8 Pellet Pistol Can a scope be fitted to this pistol? If so, what type of scope and magnification is best suited?
asked CalWhat hard case should I buy that this pistol will fit in, since they don't givr dimensions ?
asked Daniel from USAWill the 134 diana rifle iron sights fit on this Diana LP8 pistol?
asked David from USAIs the advertised 700 fps with lead pellets or with alloy pellets? And which pellet gives the best accuracy?
asked Fotios from USACan you ship this gun to Michigan?
asked R HublerYes air guns in Michigan are not classified as fire arms anymore as of this year 2015.
Scott from USAWhat scope or red dot scope is good for the rws lp8 pistol?
asked Russell from USARomeo5 Sig Sauer
James from USABurris Fastfire 3 or Vortex Venom, both with 3 MOA red dot and Picatinny mount. Will also need Leapers/UTG Picatinny rail mount adapter part # MNT-PMTOWL in order to adapt to airgun mounting grooves. This is an expensive set-up but the same red dots can later be used on any other gun of any caliber. You get what you pay for. The LP8 with this set-up is absolutely outstanding and worth every dime.
Dan from USAWhat scope or red dot scope is good for the rws lp8 pistol?
asked Russell from USAThis gun shoots sub moa and the smallest red dot typically has a 1 moa dot so the size of the dot is bigger than what the gun shoots. If you really want optics. I would go with something short and light with minimum magnification, maybe 2-4x. But you will need to decide if you will shoot it as a pistol or up close like a rifle so you pick the right eye relief.
Jose from USAbsa pistol scope
michael from USAwhat condition are the refurbishd RWS LP8?
asked ralphMine seemed new all around with maybe one small scratch, it even came with the cocking handle "which is not needed btw" The grips dont feel so great but i fixed this by pulling a section of a bike tube over it. I added a cheap NCstar pistol scope on there and its golden. airgun depot refurbs are known for being in nice condition. I will certainly buy another in the future with confidence.
Michael from USAI cannot speak for all refurbs, but mine was like NEW, maybe even better! I put an AIMPOINT Comp, on it and now drill dimes @ 60'
up north mikeVery well conditioned. I don't think I would have known it was a refurnished pistol unless I knew beforehand or possibly had them side by side
Bill from USACan anyone recommend a good scope? I will be shooting at Ptarmigan, typical distance is 20 yrds. Can anyone give an opinion of this gun for hunting small game? A Ptarmigan is about the size of a grouse and fairly easy to kill. Thanks.
asked JohnThe 600fps rule is in effect here in the peoples republic of NYS..As a minimum muzzle velocity. I have killed rabbits out to 30 yards with the crossman 2260 rabbit thumper C02 .22 cal.? That being said I would shoot tree rats, rats anything in that class 30 m and in.
