Product: Daisy Avanti Champion 499
Review entered on 2012-07-18 20:54:18Things I liked:This gun is very accurate as advertised. I bought it for my grandchildren but I have much fun shooting this as my 317 and QB78 ( a Chinese copy of the Crosman 160 CO2 rifle). At 25 ft I can consistently hit #8 and 9 of the Crosman qualification target paper.
Things I would have changed:There is a small paper insert which says "Attention : When the muzzle cap and the inner barrel assembly are removed, Do not dry fire the gun!". This warning should be in the manual and printed in big bold letters.
What others should know:The rifle does not come with the standard rear sight but with the Daisy 5899 precision sight. The manual says cock first then load but author B.B. Pelletier says it is safer to load first then cock. I agree with him. If you are planning to buy your kid a Red Ryder or a Model 25 I think a better investment is to buy this rifle. Although its price is more than twice that of a Red Ryder your kid will enjoy it more and he will grow with it through adulthood. The more he shoots accurately the more he will enjoy shooting. If you have an inaccurate rifle shooting just becomes a chore.
Product: Birchwood Casey Dirty Bird Bullseye Targets, 8" Round, 25ct
Review entered on 2012-07-18 21:10:53Things I liked:If you have a poor eyesight like me, this is just the right paper target for you. At 25 yards I can easily focus on the red bullseye without the aid of a scope.
Things I would have changed:None
What others should know:You can somewhat prolong the use of this target by blackening the shots with a Sharpie felt pen.

Things I would have changed:I wish there was peep sight option on this pistol. It's difficult for me to align the rear and front sights.
What others should know:I counted 40 power shots on a new CO2 cartridge.
