Diana is a German air rifle maker with a history going back to the 1890s. Its rifles have been sold around the world, and in some countries, including the United States, they were sold under the RWS name, which is why you will see “RWS Diana” on many rifles. RWS itself is a well-known German ammunition brand. In the UK, Diana spring rifles such as the 34 and 52 are classic second hand buys.

Diana 48, 52 and 54
These are sidelever spring rifles with a fixed barrel. The 52 is a powerful, heavy rifle, the 48 is similar with a different stock, and the 54 has a recoil-reducing sliding action. They are well regarded and long lasting.

Diana 27, 25 and older models
Older Dianas such as the 27 are light, classic springers, and many are still shooting well decades after they were made.
Diana Stormrider, Chaser and Skyhawk
The Stormrider is a budget multi-shot PCP, and the Chaser is a pistol that can be fitted with a stock. They offer PCP and CO2 shooting at low prices.
Diana Mauser K98

What to check on a used Diana
- Cocking stroke: should be smooth. A rough stroke or twang means the spring or piston seal may need replacing.
- Breech seal and lock-up: on break-barrels, check the barrel closes firmly.
- Sidelevers (48, 52, 54): check the lever locks home and the loading tap or breech closes properly.
- Barrel droop: some Dianas shoot low and need a drooper scope mount.
- Stormrider: fill it and leave overnight to check for leaks.
- Power: confirm it shoots under 12 ft-lb unless you hold an FAC that covers it.
Common questions
Is RWS the same as Diana?
For air rifles, mostly yes. “RWS Diana” rifles are Diana rifles sold under the RWS name in some markets. RWS is also a separate ammunition brand.
Is a Diana 34 a good first rifle?
Yes. It is a reliable, accurate springer and easy to service.
Do I need a licence?
Not in England and Wales for rifles under 12 ft-lb if you are 18 or over. Read our guide to air rifle law in the UK.
