Last year this rifle was bone stock with 4000+ shots on it. It served me well, so I decided to treat it to some much needed upgrades.
Its now using a Vortek kit and o-ring seal. Its been lubricated using Krytox. I've modified the stock to fit my lanky ergonomics. I added this sweet Hawke 8-32×50 Airmax scope, set in a Bullseye dampa mount. I still have a few more small mods, but am now ready to start dialing in the fitment, break in the tune, and range my scope. I am looking forward to the upcoming FT season, I am gonna try my best to improve on last years experience, I feel fortunate to now have this splendid Diana 54 to help me hopefully find more killzones.

 This rifle is tuned for AA Heavies at 19.99+/- 2% fpe ?

 Its fallen some since I've shot it, steady at 19.55 fpe now. Real smooth shot cycle, it is unlike any springer Ive shot.
