Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds REDUCED- 1970 German Diana/ Winchester model 450 .177 Underlever Spring Air Rifle FS.

Here is rare high quality Diana made .177 cal Winchester 450 Underlever Spring air rifle that I have up for sale.

These were made by Dianawerk in Germany for Winchester from 1968 to 1974. This is the same gun as the classic Diana model 50. It has a short under lever that pulls down and to the rear that is hidden in the front of the stock forend (you can see the release button at the tip of the forend) . It loads through the rotating breech tap at the top. It is a very safe and precise design .

When these were imported,.they actually cost more than most of Winchester's .22 rimfire powder guns at the time . Due to their cost, Model 450 is amoung the rarest of the Winchester /Diana rifles .

This rifle is stamped MADE IN GERMANY with a April 1970 manufscture date. It is in very nice 99% condition of both metal and wood . It functions perfectly.


This is an heirloom quality rifle. All steel with no plastic or pot metal parts. I would rate the quality at least as good or better than the German Weirauch HW-77 & 97 unlerlevsr rifles I have owned.

This is an adult sized gun at 7..5 lbs with a 13.
75" length of pull. Very comfortable stock with a nice high comb. The gun balances like a full sized bolt actioned rifle and it has a nice 3lb trigger pull.

The rifle is very accurate.When I aquired it, I replaced the plastic factory rear sight with a nice Williams 5D- GR peep attached to the scope rail.

. With that sight and the factory front sight I can make ragged hole groups standing at 10 meters- about like a fine Match rifle I can get dime sized groups at 25 yards with H&N FT trophy pellets.

The gun cocks smooth and hits hard .The velociity on these is about 650- 7O0 FPS depending on the pellets used. Same power level as the current HW-50 rifles and relatively quiet.

A great gun for Shoot, collect or maybe hand down to a deserving young shooter.someday.

My price on this is rifle with the factory Globe front and Williams Peep is REDUCED to $350 plus $45 shipping in CONUS .

If you also want the Centerpoint 3x9 rimfire scope and rings shown , add another $50
