In 1978, the airgun world was at the beginning of a velocity revolution. Diana (this was before RWS became a major distributor of the line) had their model 35, a large break-barrel they advertised as shooting 725 FPS. In truth, the rifle barely made 675. By the end of that year in order to reach the 800 FPS mark the Model 45 was released. The basic rifle got 790 FPS in .177 and could be tuned to deliver 845-860. The 45 was a departure from Diana styling in a number of important ways. The trigger was the first modular trigger their sporting air rifles had. This trigger was Diana’s first unitized trigger system. It was very adjustable for its day. Another design element was the introduction of a long-stroke piston. That’s where the 45’s power came from. The rifle was also very large and had a more Western-style stock. By today’s standards, it looks normal, but compared to the other air rifles available in 1978, it looked like a Weatherby among a bunch of military Enfields. Diana retained their famous ball-bearing barrel-locking detent. That feature was so popular that Feinwerkbau had copied it on their 124. It made the gun open much easier than a similar rifle with a traditional chisel detent. Shipping to the lower 48 only, Shipping $30.00 PLEASE BE AWARE OF LOCAL AND STATE LAWS WHERE YOU LIVE!!
