Diana PCP Stormrider 4.5 mm is an unbeatable PCP air rifle with a pressure regulator in its price class, featuring excellent craftsmanship and high shot consistency.
Diana PCP Stormrider is a recoil‑free rifle that allows anyone to begin their adventure with the world of professional pneumatic shooting.
The beautifully finished stock is made from oiled beech wood. Checkering on the pistol grip and the front part of the stock improves grip and gives the rifle an elegant character. The stock with a width of 38 mm has a very slim and lightweight profile (total weight 2.3 kg), making it comfortable for children and women to shoot. The Monte Carlo stock with a high cheek piece allows the use of various optical devices and provides a comfortable shooting position for both right‑ and left‑handed shooters. At the end of the stock there is a soft rubber butt pad, allowing a comfortable and stable shoulder support.
The rifle is equipped with a rifled barrel with a length of 480 mm, which significantly affects shooting accuracy and repeatability. At the end of the barrel there is a sound moderator that reduces the sound of the shot and also serves as a mounting base for the front sight. The Diana PCP Stormrider air rifle is a multi‑shot design thanks to the use of a rotating aluminum magazine with a capacity of 9 pellets. After inserting the magazine into the bolt, it is secured magnetically. A side lever (similar to those used in hunting rifles) is used to reload the pellet. Cycling is smooth and fast and does not even require taking your eyes off the target. In addition to the 9‑shot magazine, the set also includes a magnetic single‑shot tray. This ensures that the pellet is correctly guided into the chamber without the risk of deformation or jamming. For shooting, only round‑head or flat diabolo pellets are recommended.
Diana PCP Stormrider 4.5 mm is powered by compressed air stored in a steel air cylinder with a capacity of 100 cm3. A cylinder filled to the maximum pressure of 200 bar allows approximately 40 shots with an even muzzle velocity of 250 m/s. The rifle has two pressure gauges: one showing the cylinder pressure and another located under the rifle indicating the regulator pressure. A quick‑connect fitting with a plug connector is included for high‑pressure filling. The air rifle features a pressure regulator that ensures a constant pressure supply for each shot and eliminates muzzle velocity fluctuations. In practice, this means that the rifle can fire nearly identical series of shots with consistent muzzle velocity. Thanks to this functionality, the rifle shoots consistently, the air supply is used more efficiently (more shots from one fill), and the shooter can enjoy longer shooting sessions.
Diana PCP Stormrider 4.5 mm uses a single‑stage trigger with a pull weight of approximately ~1.3 kg. As a result, the rifle trigger is soft, clearly perceptible, and predictable, which significantly improves shooting precision and consistency. Safety is ensured by a manual safety conveniently located within the trigger guard. The rifle features mechanical sights consisting of a front sight and a rear sight adjustable in two planes. The 11 mm rail allows mounting a selected optical device; for this purpose the rear sight must first be removed.
Diana PCP Stormrider 4.5 mm is a budget PCP rifle with high aesthetic and manufacturing quality, ensuring high precision, efficiency, and shot consistency.
