Diana Chaser CO2 Air Rifle Kit: everything you need for $120

The new Diana Chaser CO2 Air Rifle Kit in .22 or .177 is a serious contender to the Crosman 2240/2300/2300T series which require a whole lot of expenditure in aftermarket parts to bring into accurizing and/or rifle configuration. Though the 2240 is around $60, both the 2300 and the 2300T are $300 and $175 respectively. This new Diana Chaser gives you both pistol and rifle options, plus German design, plus an integrally suppressed rifle barrel, plus a 2-stage trigger, plus a 500fps rating in .22 (Crosman is 460fps), plus grip storage etc all for the lovely low price of $120 from Pyramid Air. Damn, that's a deal! Now don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of the Crosman 2240 and have mine all decked out with the most desirable accoutrements but with this Diana kit I could have had all the same for less than half the price. I'll keep you posted on reviews as they start to surface online but I'm betting this is a peach. GOM. This from the Pyramid Air website:

The Diana Chaser Rifle Kit is a pistol and rifle in one! This lightweight CO2 airgun was designed for hours of fun outdoor target shooting or as an ideal indoor plinker. Fueled by a single 12-gram CO2 cartridge, the Chaser is a finely balanced modular platform that lets you choose whether a pistol or rifle is a better fit for your trigger time.  

Available in .177 or .22 Diana had shooters of all ages in mind with the airgun's feather-light weight of 3.1lbs.  But do not let its slight build fool you!  The Chaser is a capable plinker and target puncher that can send its rounds downrange at speeds up to 560 fps in .177 and 500 fps in .22 caliber. To get started shooting, first decide if you want to use the Chaser pistol or transform it into a modular air rifle.  To turn the pistol into a rifle, loosen the three set screws that secure the barrel and pull the barrel from the breech.  Insert the moderated 17.7” rifle barrel into the breech and tighten the set screws.  Remove the pistol grip cap by unthreading the securing screw on the underside of the grip and sliding the cap off of the grip.  Then insert the butt stock into the holes on the grip and replace the securing screw.  Once those parts are in place, you’re ready to load up and sling lead.  As a bonus, the elongated barrel has the added benefit of increasing pellet speed by 35-40 fps over that of the pistol.

To get started, load a single CO2 cartridge, cock the smooth bolt-action, load your pellet, and pull the trigger.  While the Chaser only needs a single CO2 cartridge, a compartment on the bottom of the grip opens up a storage area to hold a second CO2 cartridge to keep more air power on deck.  Each includes a front blade sight with an adjustable rear sight and an 11mm Dovetail to zero in on targets with a scope.   
 
Diana includes a single shot tray for precision shooting, but the Chaser can accept magazines used by its big brother the Stormrider.  With the addition of indexing magazines, transform your single-shot Chaser into a multi-shot repeater pistol!  These indexing mags hold 9 shots in .177 and 7 in .22 and cut down your reload times significantly.  The magazines are sold separately but are readily available here at Pyramyd Air.
