Diana PCP Stormrider 5.5 mm is an unbeatable PCP air rifle with a pressure regulator in its price class, featuring beautiful craftsmanship and high shot consistency.
Diana PCP Stormrider is a recoil‑free rifle that allows anyone to start their adventure with the world of professional pneumatic shooting.
The beautifully finished stock is made of oiled beech wood. Checkering on the pistol grip and the front part of the stock improves the 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 users. At the end of the stock there is a soft rubber butt pad that allows the rifle to rest comfortably and securely on the shoulder.
The rifle is equipped with a rifled barrel with a length of 480 mm, which significantly improves accuracy and shot repeatability. At the end of the barrel there is a sound moderator reducing the noise of the shot and serving as a mounting base for the front sight. The Diana PCP Stormrider air rifle is multi‑shot thanks to a rotary aluminum magazine with a capacity of 7 pellets. After inserting the magazine into the action, it is magnetically secured. A side lever (similar to those used in hunting rifles) is used for cocking. Cycling is smooth and fast and does not require the shooter to take their eyes off the target. In addition to the 7‑shot magazine, the set also includes a magnetic single‑shot tray. Thanks to this, the pellet is correctly inserted into the chamber without the risk of deformation or jamming. For shooting, it is recommended to use only diabolo pellets with a round or flat head.
Diana PCP Stormrider 5.5 mm is powered by compressed air stored in a steel cylinder with a capacity of 100 cm3. A cylinder filled to the maximum pressure of 200 bar allows approximately 30 shots with a consistent muzzle velocity of 185 m/s. The rifle has two pressure gauges: one indicating the cylinder pressure and the other located under the rifle showing the regulator pressure. A quick‑connect fitting with a plug mount is included for filling the air. The air rifle uses a pressure regulator that ensures the same pressure for each shot and eliminates fluctuations in muzzle velocity. In practice, this means that the rifle can fire nearly the same number of shots each time with consistent velocity. Thanks to this feature, the rifle shoots consistently, the air supply is used more efficiently (more shots from a single fill), and the shooter can enjoy shooting for a longer time.
The Diana PCP Stormrider 5.5 mm uses a single‑stage trigger mechanism with a pull weight of about 1.3 kg. As a result, the trigger is soft, clearly perceptible, and predictable, which significantly improves precision and shot consistency. Safety is ensured by a manual safety conveniently located within the trigger guard. The rifle is equipped with mechanical sighting devices in the form of a front sight and a rear sight adjustable in two planes. The 11 mm rail allows the installation of any optical device, but the rear sight must first be removed.
Diana PCP Stormrider 5.5 mm is a budget PCP rifle with high aesthetics and quality workmanship, providing excellent precision and shot consistency even at longer distances.
