10-meter competition rifle. Includes sling and removable buttpad with insert spacers. In Stock
The classic NRA Junior competition rifle! Ideal for shooters 16 and up (with adult supervision) to learn to shoot in 10-meter competition. Daisy's Avanti 853 Legend has a sporter hardwood stock that's capped with a removable buttpad to allow for the included insert spacers to adjust the length of pull for the shooter's size.
Most impressive is the crowned Lothar Walther barrel. It's precision-bored for .177 match pellets, has 12 lands and grooves, and a right-hand twist. The front sight has interchangeable aperture inserts, and the rear sight is micrometer adjustable. The included sling will also help the shooter steady the rifle. The 853 Legend is so accurate that most shooters will not outgrow the rifle's potential. Although official competition rules do not allow scopes, the rifle has a dovetail scope mount in the diecast receiver in the event you want to use this rifle for shooting other targets or just for fun.

Things I liked:This was fairly light weight and easy to handle. I shoot unsupported quad class and that mattered a lot. It was accurate after I zeroed in and I shot better this year than I ever have before. Things I would have changed:The sling loosened up fairly easily during use. What others should know:This is a great

Things I liked:Accuracy, ease of operation. Simple to pump and load, good functional safety. Very consistent, very accurate. Things I would have changed:Pull length is too short, spacers don't fit profile of stock well, minor complaint...
For the price, and for being billed as an introductory competition rifle (for youths, no less!)

For the price, and for being billed as an introductory competition rifle (for youths, no less!) why did they engineer such an awful trigger/sear combination?? Too rough, too hard, too long. What others should know:Sights are decent, but plastic, so be careful with the rear sight assembly. Pump handle is metal, unlike plastic ones on Daisy's 22XT (though that is a fine rifle, too!) Not at all easy to take this apart, lots of little fiddly bits for looks.

Things I liked:Very simple to use, very reliable. This is my gun of choice for anyone who competes in 10 meter air rifle competitions. Gas powered rifles have a tendency to have mechanical errors, which can cause you to lose a competition. With the Avanti 853, you don't have to worry about anything. Things I would have changed:Nothing

What others should know:This rifle will definately get you medals in a competition, but I wouldnt recommend it for shooting small game.
