Shipping speed and price are 2 big reasons to check with Airgun Depot if you are in the market for another airgun. And if by chance, the model you had your eyes on are not in stock, Airgun Depot will notify you upon its arrival.
Pros
This is my third Diana purchase. I have a Bandit and a Chaser in 22, and now this one is a 177 I got to gift to my nephew. They are easy to work on if needed or for customizing. This is my first purchase from Airgun Depot. The purchase was quick and easy and shipped out very quickly. The purchase price was the same as I paid for my 22 Chaser here but has gone up any place else.
Cons
It was disappointing to find that no multi-shot magazines are provided with the purchase of the gun. At least 1 magazine had been provided with the other 2 Dianas as well as the single shot tray. Only a single shot tray is included now and the cost of the magazines have gone up dramatically and must be purchased separately. Also missing is the little bag of replacement o ring seals.
Would not recommend for first air gun.
Pros
Very economical purchase for pistol and rifle. Unique and simple method of converting from pistol to rifle. Action a little course at first but smoothed out after 150 shots. Chaser my favorite over my other 8 air guns.
Cons
Include at least one magazine with kit.
I have been using a springer break-barrel .177 and decided to invest in this in .22 for squirrels. First thing, remove your barrel and clean it GOOD. It looked clean, but I got all kinds of gunk out of it. I've done the full series of mods from the YouTube series, including a heavier hammer spring from Froggies. Added a Bugbuster 3-9x32 scope, which is great. Then added an SKS cheek riser from ATI to aid the scope eye relief. Not sure what FPS I'm getting, but it hits pretty hard. Have more work to do sighting in, but so far, I think it's pretty great. Should be able to enjoy shooting across my big basement with a trap during the winter.
Pros
Lightweight, multiple shots with the magazine for follow-up shots when pesting, made well
Cons
Should come with the magazine, which is expensive for what it is. Moderator should be removable from the rifle barrel without having to go through all the heating process to get the loctite to break loose.
Pros
Nice product, light and handles well
Cons
Came without the single shot tray which was dissapointing.
Wish I bought sooner
Pros
Very accurate and lots of fun. Its seems to be the favorite and go to of everyone that comes over.
Cons
More power
It was BETTER than expected!!
Pros
Fit and finish. Accuracy. Ease of assembly.
Cons
NONE
Update to my previous review. In my experience, dont plan on using any mags with this gun,, stick to the sigle shot tray. If someone would offer metal mags for it I would try them. Tried three 3d printed mags and have had to destroy 2 of them as they have jammed pellets in the receiver. Have had to ever so carefully use a jag to clear the jams. I am always careful to pull the bolt all the way back in one fluid motion etc.. I can only assume this would be the case with all of the Diana guns that use this same receiver and mags.
Pros
Accurate
Cons
No reliable mags
Ordered the Beeman 1085 for my wife. The last one they had leaked so I opted for the Chaser rifle kit and they threw in a mag. Much appreciated. Did not expect that much but this thing is great. The hoards of starlings showed up at about the same time as the gun arrived and my wife has hardly had a chance to shoot it. I had been taking them out with my break barrels but this thing is so light quiet and accurate, that I grab it first. Packs more punch than I thought, and no recoil. Using a cheap package scope that came with one of my break barrels but will be putting a CQB Bugbuster on it. Also ordered three 3D printed mags for it as the Seneca/Diana mags arent reliable. Looking into shims for the hammer spring to get a little more power also.
Pros
Light, quiet, accurate, excellent trigger
Cons
Magazine
Great Rifles and super quiet to shoot ,...close neighbors will not get mad!!
Pros
very happy with this purchase, so happy in fact that I purchased the Diana chaser in a .22 version as well! these Rifle kits are sweet! be very careful assembling these and take your time. They both zero'd in in just a few shots. both shoot a little high the first couple shots, and after that are dead nuts for about 40 to 45 shots. I believe if these were the very first air rifles that I ever bought, I would not own as many as I do! they are that good. Both are very accurate, and both can be used for varmints at about 30 feet max and target shooting probably up to 50- 60 ft staying very accurate. Sale price is what convinced me to buy! I like shooting single shot at a time, so the mag cartridge does nothing for me. now I am looking for a bipod for them. seriously great quality guns ... make sure when you are changing barrels, the seal at the very end of the barrel is in place! directions do not tell you that.
Cons
would like a case to come with it that will fit the assembled rifle so that you do not need to break it down to put in the original case...once assembled, I refuse to break mine down because once I get them dialed in, I do not want to throw it off. both barrels should have the breach seals in place so that it does not get assembled without one by accident, making so you need to disassemble and assemble again.

asked gary from USADo those who own one like a scope or is it good without?
asked Rochelle from USAI use a UTG 3-9x32 Bugbuster on mine with a UTG dovetail to picatinny rail and medium pic rings. Leaves plenty of room for the mag and gets the sight picture over the open sites. Works well.
Joel from USAGood without but great with a red dot on it I used a boresight to sight it in and it's a tack driver now!
Dean from USAIs there a laser sight available for this rifle?

Dean from USAwhich type of magazine will be using?
asked IVAN from USAYou can order Diana Stormrider mag or order CP2 magazines from carm-magazines.com. They have a custom one 14 shots .177, 12 shots .22
vcdbzd from USAwhat's the best weight of 22 pellet for this gun
asked Bean from USAMine really likes RWS super points at 14.5 grains. Great for starlings and house sparrows.
Joel from USAMy .22 caliber Chaser really loves the very economical H&N, (Excite) brand "plinking" wadcutters that weigh in at an even 13.0 grs. A tin of 250 pellets costs only about $6 but shoot very, very well in my Chaser as well a handful of my other .22 caliber break barrel and PCP air rifles.
Dennis from USAWhere can you get a bit stock for my chaser? I found a moderator bit everyone's out of buttstock accessorie
asked Roy from USAWhat's the FPS on the .177 rifle?
asked Tom from USAIs it possible from CO2 covert this gun to PCp rifle
asked Kayhan from CanadaYep Google pcp conversion kit
vcdbzd from USAI'm new to air gunning. What is an indexed mag?
asked Tim from USAWhen you insert a pellet and push the bolt forward the next pellet will be indexed into place and move forward into the breech
Roy from USAWhere can I find the complete specs on the .22 cal rifle kit? I didn't find anything about the indexing mag or where to get it.
asked James from USALook up Diana Chaser magazine
Roy from USAdid you receive a indexing mag. with your kit ?
asked larry from USABuy Diana Stormrider mags
Roy from USANo. Magazines are additional.
Mark from USAWhat caliber is best for grouse and squirrel hunting
asked Dick from USA22 cal.
Mark from USADoes the order include a magazine and does it include a case?
asked RyanNo magazine included but it does come with a soft case that holds the components but not the assembled rifle
Aaron from USADoes this shoot darts?
asked Scott from USAI'm looking at getting the 22 cal version what's the best distance you get out of it?
asked DcottIs this a magazine based gun?
asked scott merloThis kit comes with a magnetic single shot loading tray that fits behind the breach. You can purchase magazines for the Diana Stormrider rifle and they will work in the chaser. .22 cal mag holds 7 rounds, .177 holds 9
Aaron from USACan unscrew the silencer on the rifle barrel and screw it on the pistol barrel?
asked Erwin from GuamYes, it will go on either barrel. It comes on the rifle barrel and is LocTited on, but will unscrew. Heat the area where the threads are. If you use a pliers, be sure to wrap the end so it doesn't get scratched.
Marshall from USANo
Wyman from USAIt sounds like USA market Chasers have loctite on the moderator threads. People have successfully unscrewed the moderator and it will screw onto the pistol barrel. The pistol barrel has a cap screwed onto the threads.
Aaron from USAIf I bought both .177 and .22 could I interchange the barrels
asked Justin from USAPhotos show left handed bolt action. Is it reversible? Also, is a multi shot clip included?
asked KBFApparently a clip is not included but the clip for the Diana Stormrider rifle will work in the Chaser and must be purchased separately. There is a left hand breech block that can be purchased to convert to left hand.
Aaron from USADoes this come with a carry case.
asked Alan from USAIt comes with a soft case that will hold the components but not the assembled rifle
Aaron from USAIs it possible to mount a scope? If not, how accurate is the targeting of this gun?
asked YuriYes It is very accurate little rifle, but don't expect to shoot for accurate over 20 yds.
Wyman from USAAnyone know where to get the indexing magazine? I ordered this rifle kit and it only came with the single shot setup. I looked on the website, but couldn't find one. Thanks

asked Richard from USAhow hard would it be to convert this to a constant air system with a larger co2 bottle i.e. paintball marker system.
asked Phil G.
It's a fun enough gun to shoot in the yard, but contrary to others that have said how accurate this gun is out of the box, mine was horribly inaccurate. I almost wanted to put it back in the box and return it. However, I love the design and features/combo of this gun that encouraged me to press on and try until I got it dialed in. This gun in the pistol configuration is very similar to the Crossman American Classic .177 that I had many years ago and that Crossman was very, very accurate.
Pros
I give 5 stars for the design and features of this gun. However, only 3 stars for accuracy. I have used over 100 pellets to get this gun sighted in with the use of a 4x32 scope. The iron sights for the pistol configuration is horrible. It shoots high no matter what I do. I could not adjust the rear iron sight for the gun to shoot down a little more. At the lowest setting, the gun shoots about 3-4 inches high. Very disappointing. I'm not a novice to air guns. The rigle configuration is a little better but it still is inacurrate and I could not get consistent groupings. I eventually had to resort to purchasing a scope and mounted on to the gun. It took me many more co2 cartridges and pellets to get it finally sighted in at 10 yards and quarter size groupings.
Cons
Hard to load pellet straight...has to slow down to make sure the pellet does not load in at an angle. The single pellet tray comes out too easily. The magnet holding it in needs to be a little stronger.
