A totally recoilless air rifle, the RWS/Diana Model 56 uses a "floating action", to achieve its maximum accuracy. When this magnum air rifle is fired, the action slides rearward in the stock, absorbing the recoil, and permitting the pellet to exit the barrel before any of the spring vibration affects its travel. Other features include adjustable trigger, adjustable rear sight, Monte Carlo stock, auto safety, and checkering in the grip and forearm. For maximum accuracy with an air rifle there's no better than the RWS 54/56. Available in .177 and .22 calibers.
