Looking at purchasing one of these in 22 cal. Called D&L Airgun in Langley and also told them I would be needing the Hill pump and a good selection of pellets and possibly a scope. All told I'm looking at spending $3000.00, asked if there was any way I could come by to look and purchase since I live close by, no was the answer. Anyone here deal with them and what was your experience like. Just don't like laying out that cash and not being able to see the actual items first.

I just bought a Diana K98 from them. The emails were answered fast, the order processed fast and the gun shipped quickly. No complaints at all.

I've bought from D&L and found them top notch.
Well if you just buy mine you can come and look at it all you want. I'll even let you shoot it. lol
That said I have not had any issues buying from D&L. Even returned the first HW100 I bought from them with a bad barrel. No issues. Full refund.

The exact same use as a $150 pellet gun... or a $5,000 match gun... You buy them 1) for fun and 2) because you can/want to
$3,000 is easy to spend
+/- $1,500 for the rifle
Another $250-$300 for a pump
Another few hundred$ for a nice scope and rings
Another hundred $ for various pellets
And then there's the few hundred$ in tax that goes along with it...
To me, spending good $ on a airgun is easier to justify than spending $ on a powder burner.
- I can shoot them in the backyard, basement, so I shoot them more often
- Therefore the cost-per-shot is lower

Right on. I totally get that. After thinking about it, if you want more accuracy, more consistency that would cost more. With most everything you get what you pay for.
Thanks for understanding my question.
I bought from D&L Airgun 1 month ago... (HW97K Blackline in .22 Cal & Hawke Scope). I've spent almost 1000$ with them... Amazing service. Buy with confidence!
You can't go wrong with Specialty Shooting sports too...But they were out of stock for what I was looking for...

If you are looking at a higher end air rifle, you will see that quite a bit goes into their manufacture and we are not just talking about the accuracy part of it.
Yes of course. ...steel instead of plastic. Finer machining. Better QA/QC. Engineering. Research for improvements.
My initial though was it was a lot for an "air rifle"...but after thinking about it, that's stupid. ...these things are used for competition shooting, why wouldn't there be really really good ones...that should be expensive. You get what you pay for.

That's kind of the way I used to look at air rifles. I used to think, (and many still do) that they are really just toys and why would you not buy a real rifle instead. But then I started taking a good look at various air rifles and I quickly learned why some cost as much as they do. And I kinda got hooked! And yes, you do get what you pay for.

Absolutely. If you can shoot an air rifle accurately and consistently you can shoot any rifle at the same level. I come from the UK, so this type of rifle is the norm. I took my first rabbit / squirrel / duck / pigeon / rat / mouse / crow / rook / jackdaw / dove / magpie / jay / starling with an air rifle, so there is a lot of sentiment on this type of rifle.
Here in Canada, I would think there is a strong challenge from a rimfire rifle, but the PCP is simply quieter and as much fun.

Thanks to the positive comments about D&L I placed my order today. On the way are - a Wiehrauch HW100T FSB, Sightron SII 6-24X42 MD scope and rings, a Hill pump with spare goodies and an assortment of pellets to see which ones it likes.
