Things I would have changed:I am not too impressed with this gun. After 50 shots, the center rivet on the pump lever became dislogdged and loose and started catching on the pump rod housing, marring it and preventing smmooth operation. Every few shots, I have to push the rivet back in place. Then, after less than 500 shots, an internal seal failed. The gun hisses and loses pressure within a few seconds of pumping it. Tonight I am looking for my sales receipt to send it back to Daisey for repair. Very dissapointing. The liberal use of plastic, such as for the bolt and sights, is also disappointing given the cost of this gun. I will probably never buy another Daisey product again and would not recommend this gun to a friend.
What others should know:There are no distinguishing features or markings on the Triumph match version to tell it apart from the regular Avanti 747. The box says Triumph Match, but did I really get one? Why doesn't the gun have markings? That is cost cutting that goes too deep. Daisey can't even label the gun properly.
Things I liked:The sight picture is very similar to the Gen 4 Glock 17 I carry except for the white dots on the Glock. I have noticed a great improvement in my groups at the range. Sights are much better than those on my 1322 Medalist, PC77 and 2240. I think that the trigger is fine. I expect that someone shooting matches might not like it, but I rarely shoot match grade weapons and this pistol is an affordable and serviceable practice piece. Around here no one can afford to shoot the mountains of 9mm we used to go through in order to maintain proficiency. The Avanti 747 fills the need. The single stroke cocking is a real time saver and aggravation eliminator. I really like my 1322 and PC77 but now I don't have to pump 3-5 times before each shot. Pistol is quiet, especially compared to my 2240. The clang of the pellet on the trap is the most noise you'll get. Cocking effort is pretty low. I'm not young and I can sit and cock it all night. Holding it up for 100 or 150 shots is not as easy.By David from USA on 2011-08-22 22:53:45

Things I would have changed:That being said. I would pay more for sturdier sights. Preferably blued steel. The 747 is a little heavy. If that means it's better built, I'll take it, if not, it needs to be reduced in size and weight to something more like the 2240. By size, I mean the grips. They're bigger than I like, though that may go along with being a target piece. I prefer the grips of the 2240 and after that the 1322 (the 1322 grips don't shift around like the PC77's).
What others should know:If I could only own one airgun this would probably be it. I got it because I remembered many years ago the local LEO range master sat at his desk and shot his pellet pistol at a trap across the room A LOT. This guy was a fantastic shot. I think he'd like the Avanti 747. Comparing the 747 to it's competition Gamo, Baikal, etc. it think for the price point it has no peer.
Things I liked:Accurate, not too loud, and not very hard to cock.By Henry from USA on 2011-01-05 20:10:30

Things I would have changed:I have small/medium hands. The grips are acceptable, but the pistol doesn't sit as comfortably in my hand as I would like.
What others should know:The pistol is a little heavy. Shouldn't be a problem for most people, but someone with a slight build should consider the weight before buying.

Things I would have changed:a little more power
What others should know:super accurate at 40-50 ft.but not enough power to shoot any farther than that
Things I liked:Accurate, easy and fast to handle. I was able to shot 520's straight out of the box.By Magnus from USA on 2010-06-28 13:01:58

Things I would have changed:The trigger really holds the gun back, heavy rough but might losen up with time. Other things that could be nice but doesn't really effect shooting are plastic wimsy rear sight that is a bit to narrow, rough grip and weight balance (front heavy).
What others should know:After just 1k pellets the release valve started to leak. Easy fix just to take the vavle apart clean and add a little oil on the seal and retight the release vavle.
Things I liked:Accurate, easy to load, easy to cock. I could shoot this gun all day. It's fun to use. It's a gun with few faults that doesn't ask you to make up for it's problems. If you are considering the gun, buy it, you will not be sorry. You have to spend a lot more to get a better target pistol.By Kenneth from USA on 2009-12-08 11:39:24

Things I would have changed:The back side of the grip is smooth and very slick. Some people might want to use a loose hold where this slickness would cause the gun to be unstable. It should be possible to checker this area of the grip. Anything else I would change would add to the price, like a better trigger, grip, sights or a metal bolt. At this price all these parts work. There's nothing functionally wrong with any of this. All are perfectly fine and you can shoot the center out of your targets.
What others should know:It's a single stroke with little power. It's perfect for 10 meter target or accurate plinking. As a package I like it better than the Gamo. I hate the overlever cocking on the Gamo, but YMMV. The Gamo has a much better grip and rear sight. The triggers are very different. The Gamo has a lot of creep that I don't feel in the 747. Bolt loading on the 747 is more convenient.
Things I liked:Everything about this shootin'iron I like.I bought mine about 20 years ago from a TV commercial.It has metal sights,and plastic grips,but that's OK.It shoots superbly,and is very quiet.By Forrest A. Daniels from USA on 2009-09-26 20:50:03

Things I would have changed:Maybe put wood grips on it? Of course,the price would go up as well.
What others should know:I feel I have definitely gotten my money's worth from this target pistol.Can't think of any real drawbacks to this gun.Good going, Daisy.
Things I liked:The gun is a super shooter , it out shoots all my other air rifles or pistols at 10 meters .By john from USA on 2009-08-30 10:15:51

Things I would have changed:It needs more refinements in material and appearance of the gun .. It feels and looks more like a toy then a real gun . The target trigger is a joke , the 1 screw they give you to PLAY with is something to PLAY with only .
What others should know:I feel the gun is over priced , but there nothing in it's price range to out shoot it in a single pump gun . .CommentsBy Duane from USA on 2009-11-24 00:20:57 0 
The triggers on my (2) are just fine.
Things I liked:This pistol is very accurate. It provides an inexpensive way to practice your sight alignment and trigger squeezing techniques in your own home. If you are using this gun you don't have to ask if those bad shots are you or the gun. You can be assured that it is all you. I have shot about 2000 pellets with this gun, I have noticed a dramatic improvement in my pistol shooting abilities during this time.By Paul from USA on 2009-07-31 06:53:54

Things I would have changed:Some people have complained about the plastic parts. While they make the pistol look cheaper they also make the pistol less expensive. You get an outstandingly accurate and reliable pistol for a lot less money. You can spend twice as much on a pistol with nicely machined metal parts but you will not gain anything in accuracy.
What others should know:The mechanism needed some break in time. I found the trigger was sticky for the first couple of hundred shots. Copious applications of Break Free and break in usage made thing much better. The trigger feel is now outstanding.- 123

Things I would have changed:The trigger is gritty and inconsistent, maybe it will get better after a few tins of pellets. The rear sight is plastic, which I don't like just on principal. I will wait and see how it holds up in use.
What others should know:I am a firearms instructor, mainly dealing with new shooters. In my location the range is a long drive for most students, we have high and gusting winds about half the year, and ammunition (here and everywhere) is expensive. I bought the gun so I could do training indoors (a 10-meter range is available), and so I could better demonstrate the effects of trigger control and follow through without having to be concerned that recoil was covering up the errors as the shot broke. In addition, I was looking for an economical gun I could recommend for my students that they could practice with without having to drive to the range. Got it in one. The 747 is accurate, the grip angle is similar to the sport and defensive pistols the students are buying, and accuracy is excellent for a gun in this price range. It is not an Olympic contender, but it suits my requirements perfectly. Initial response from my students has been very positive, with one new gun ordered and several others pending. I can recommend this pistol to anyone who wants to improve their skill.
