Diana recoilless air rifles dates
With thanks to Mike D.
- 1963: Diana's model 60 introduced. First of their double-piston, recoilless Giss-system rifles. But remained Diana's budget/junior match rifle until c.1983.
- 1968: Model 60 superceded as Diana's top match rifle by the model 65. Locked breech, heavier barrel sleeve, better stock, internal changes.
- 1974: Model 65 discontinued, replaced by the model 66. Same action in a revised stock with more angular styling.
- 1977: Model 75 replaced model 66. Fabulous fixed-barrel, sidelever, sliding breech, 10-meter paper-punching wonder.
