Hello,
I just lost my Diana 820k free rifle, and Anschutz 1700 featherweigt, and a Sportsmatch GC2 feild target rifle, in a residence looting in the Camp Pendelton/ noth county San Diego area. I'm crushed even though I still have a solitary Anschutz barreled action that somehow had the best accuracy I have even seen from any type 54. At least I still have the sights and extensions from the diana.
I'm looking for another Diana 820k L or F free rifle. Production ended in '94 with very few made. There were a lot of thing I liked about this rifle. Any help of information would be appreciated.
Derek

What do you mean you lost them? Were they confiscated?

I lost my free rifle(s) in an organized house robbery. Which ranged from car theft, identiy fraud, even banal household goods such as beadspreads and towels.
I would like to locate another RWS/Diana 820 k or F at some point. I know there is a German shooter who has done well with this action installed in an Anschutz stock.
The Diana trigger was very much to my taste and I never struggled with it. I have never been able to appreciate the Anschutz match trigger. It always felt soft or spongey at any stage/setting.
Any advice on the Ans. trigger or a Diana 820k would be great.
