Diana Mauser K98 — Underlever & PCP Replica Air Rifle

Diana Mauser K98 Review — A Legend Reborn in Airgun Form

The Diana Mauser K98 pays homage to the iconic German military rifle that remains one of the most recognized bolt-action firearms in history . If you are searching for a Diana Mauser K98 review, you will find owners impressed by the faithful replica styling and the choice between two distinct powerplants: a traditional underlever spring-piston system and a modern PCP version. This German-made air rifle features a genuine beechwood stock with military-style metal fittings, a hooded front sight, and an adjustable rear sight that mimics the original K98’s layout . The Diana Mauser K98 underlever version captures the essence of the original with its 18-inch barrel, underlever cocking mechanism, and fixed barrel design that delivers superior accuracy . At Linear Airguns, we proudly offer the Diana Mauser K98 to European shooters. We ship fast across Scandinavia, the Slavic nations, and all of Europe.

Diana Mauser K98 Underlever — The Classic Springer Version

The Diana Mauser K98 spring-powered version is a single-shot underlever air rifle that combines historical authenticity with modern airgun engineering . In .177 caliber (4.5mm), muzzle velocity reaches up to 320-329 m/s (1,050-1,080 FPS) in full-power versions, while 7.5 Joule versions produce approximately 170 m/s (558 FPS) . The Diana Mauser K98 5.5mm (.22 caliber) version delivers velocities in the mid-800 FPS range. The rifle’s 460mm barrel is fixed, with the underlever cocking arm activating the spring-piston mechanism . The Diana Mauser K98 spring version weighs approximately 4.3 kg (9.5 lbs) and measures 1,115mm (43.9 inches) in total length .

Diana Mauser K98 PCP — The Modern Multi-Shot Version

The Diana Mauser K98 PCP version offers a more modern shooting experience while retaining the iconic K98 aesthetic . This model uses a 100cc air cylinder that fills to 200 bar (2,900 PSI) and delivers up to 20 ft-lbs of energy in .177 caliber . Muzzle velocity reaches up to 1,050 FPS in .177 and 950 FPS in .22 caliber . The Diana Mauser K98 PCP features a 12-shot magazine in .177 caliber and a 10-shot magazine in .22 caliber, making it a practical repeater rather than the single-shot spring version . The rifle features a shrouded barrel for quieter shooting, an adjustable Diana Improved Trigger (DIT), and an 11mm dovetail rail for scope mounting . Weight sits at 3.0 kg (6.6 lbs), making it lighter than the spring version .

Diana Mauser K98 — Authentic Replica Features

Both versions of the K98 feature a meticulously crafted wooden stock that mirrors the original military rifle . The stock includes a blued steel buttplate, sling attachment points, and two metal fixtures on the forend that replicate the original K98’s bayonet lug configuration . The Diana Mauser K98 underlever’s cocking lever protrudes from the forend, simulating the bayonet fitment of the original rifle . The adjustable open sights are positioned similarly to the original K98, with the rear sight mounted halfway down the barrel and adjustable for windage and elevation .

Diana Mauser K98 5.5mm — Real-World Performance

Owners consistently praise the Diana Mauser K98 5.5mm version for its accuracy and handling. The Diana Mauser K98 spring version delivers “honest one hole groups” with cheap Crosman hollow points, according to one owner who uses it as their go-to squirrel gun . Another reviewer notes the rifle’s weight of 8 lbs gives it a solid, authentic feel reminiscent of the original K98, and the balance is surprisingly good despite the long cutaway for the underlever . Some owners recommend keeping an eye on the muzzle cover, which may need retorquing after initial use . The Diana Mauser K98 trigger is the adjustable Diana Improved Trigger (DIT) on the PCP version, while the spring version uses Diana’s renowned T06 two-stage match trigger .
