Depends upon how much are you paying for it...
I have same gun but in a different stock. 48 and 52 share same action only difference is 52 have a stock with Monte Carlo cheek piece.
Its a magnum rifle a bit heavier on the weight and a bit crude if untuned but you can always go for a after market tune kit from James maccari or Venom. Trigger is #@$ if compared with HW's but can be made lighter. I've shot one 52 with a really nice trigger.
It’s famed as a scope breaker but after Mack The Knife's 97 broke the Bushnell I think every air-rifle needs a heavy recoil scope. Build quality and overall finish of the rifle is good comparable to HW. It’s pretty accurate if you manage to find right pellet for it.
Again they are good if you are paying the right price for them but if you are paying same as HW’s then I think you are better off with HW97 or HW77
My two cents….

Well Asif, In Germany the price of Dianas are a little higher than HWs, I mean a Diana 52 is quite a bit more expensive than a HW 97 or 77. Almost 25-30% more for a Diana 52.
That said, if you pass on it, let me know..

That is surprising, I thought the build quality of the HW are superior to the Diana's....

May be because Diana is more popular than HW

I wouldn't believe that.Weihrauch is as popular as Diana in Germany..
Well I guess most would know, Weihrauch means "blessed smoke" (literal translation), the beautiful smell you get in all European churches...That's not at all an unfamilar term in Germany..

A fool and his money.....
Just joking.
They are not that bad, it's just that you get a better airgun for the same money.
