Diana 470TH Target Hunter Air Rifle

True Diana quality Fine German craftsmanship Ive been a RWS shooter for decades and this one is just as nice as my original model 48 With my bad shoulder I figured it was time to try an under-lever and I love it in 22 cal with the new fx hybrid slugs it is a killer

Nothing

It is a big gun
I honestly would not want to carry it in the woods
But sitting on the deck with a bipod and a 3-12 scope it is one accurate multiple shot same hole in target tack driver like all my rws Diana air guns
If you want a springer you can not go wrong with a RWS Diana

perfect weight for me, excellent finish, TACK driver and love the smooth trigger.

I hate to nit pick but I don't like the safety.

Great gun for the price. I purchased this as a refurb with zero flaws. Super impressed when I first got the gun. I added a Hawke Vantage Scope and ripped all the field targets apart. I have found the best pellets to shoot are the JSB Diablo 10.34 gr in the .177 Cal. You will become a SNIPER!

.......possibly THE PINNACLE of diana's piston airguns (spring or gas ram/strut pushing a piston with piston seal on it). i wish i would realized that when i had it. it lives somewhere in s.america now. that stock is ergonomically perfect for field target. you can actually hold the whole gun from the hand grip shaped wood in front of the trigger. all matte black - like the pro-compact series. t-06 trigger is big improvement over previous piston gun triggers from dianawerk. mine shot a very consistent 880 fps with crosman premiers. sometimes all 5 holes touching at 50 yards scoped from a bench. i got mine from glenn seiter of umarex back when they sold many demos, guns used for promotion, and refurbished airguns to the general public (glenn seiter was cool - would go into the warehouse and look for me while i was on hold).

........... too expensive ..... but folks spend thousands on hpa/pcp air guns these days , so whaddya gonna do ?

........ this is better than a 460 , but heavier.. all that about velocity, power, and accuracy in some reviews never happened to me after owning and later selling 4-5 .22 diana 460's and a .22 470th....all shot 880-890 fps with 14.3 grainers. you should you may never have another if you have one and sell it.....and you may regret that , as i do with about 100 of them.... - raneman .

Nothing at all!

Nearly every thing!

Yes. The metal work is not blued but a black mat finish. The stock had a flat dull finish. For a few cents they could have put a semi gloss finish on it for the price. I think the cocking is much higher then they say. I'm not a child and I could hardly cock the gun. After 2 weeks the breach would not lock open so I could insert a pellet. The good people at Pyramyd Air took the rifle back and sent me a Air Arms Pro Sport for a few dollars more. This air rifle should fall into the $100.00-$125.00 bracket. For a little more money look at the Air Arms TX200 or the Weihrauch (sold by Beeman as a HW97K), both are EXCELLENT under levers for the money.

Well made German rifle. Very accurate. Smooth shooting circle.

A bit heavy, but well balanced.

I love my 460. I bought this one cause I'm lefty. It shoulders better then the 460. But it was shooting much slower. Using 14.3 gn, muzzle velocity was just over 700. I thought it was supposed to shoot a lot faster. As far as I know it the same platform as the 460. I didn't like that, so I returned it. If you want that power go for it. My 460 with JM kit shoot at 800 and it's as accurate as this one.

German quality and real power in the .22 version. I had the 10 for 10 service done before shipping to me it peace of mind as this is my 3 rd rifle I buy thru pyramid air! The chrony sent averaged 931 with rws basic pellets. Well I tried it now that I have mounted my utg 4-16x50 utg mild dot scope and checked it to make sure it was good. The pellets I tried are 14.5 superdome rws and it still gives 878-859 spread of fps real good! And almost accurate out of the box at 40 yards I was off before sighting by 2 inches low after about 6 pellets I was within a inch to .3 of and inch of dead center. Pretty impressive considering that normally break ins to work good is over 200 pellets.. And I am very happy I recommend this rifle to anyone!

Should specify that you need a pica tinny rail adaptor be it rws or utg with compensation works perfect!

Make sure you buy a base and the recommend should be rws or utg for rws with droop compensation it will give you easy adjustments for and scope at longer ranges. Buy a good scope and stay away from cheap scopes since this is not a cheap springer I say get a good 120+ dollar scope that has at least 4 star reviews. Oh and the pellets that work good are 15.9 jsb for heavy and rws 14.4 mid weight and H Rws hollowpoints 14.2 and surprise the cross man premiers domed 14.3 also all group very well and hit hard. For target the basic rws 11.9 are great within 20 yards great for sighting! Clean same hole!
