Description

A fine airgun for new shooters! The Daisy Match Grade Avanti Mentor 845 is a single-stroke pneumatic, which means it requires just one pump stroke to power the gun. The airgun is sized for shooters 10 and older (adult supervision required), and the easy pumping effort is geared toward younger shooters.

You'll be shooting so much that you had better load up on BBs and pellets. Click the AMMO link to order some. Click the ACCESSORIES link to find fun targets, safety glasses and other shooting gear.

This is a single-stroke pneumatic, which means you pump the lever only ONE time. A second pump stroke will remove the air the first stroke put in!

  • Bolt-action (easy-to-use straight bolt)
  • 350-rd BB repeater
  • Shoots pellets single-shot
  • Hooded front sight accepts aperture inserts

We have been using these air guns for many years now through hundreds of Cub & Boy Scouts at our local camp. No BB gun is perfect but for teaching the basics and boys having fun because the sights are good these are hard to beat.

I wish it had a sliding door or cover behind the bolt/cocking handle to prevent BB's from being inserted by accident. Good training gun for beginners.

Most of the problems with this rifle are youngsters inserting the BB behind the bolt instead of into the chamber area. That solves many of the issues. That and not reusing old or rusty BB's.

the light weight and the easy cocking

The pistol grip is way to far back and to wide. made for extra large hands

shoots a 1 inch group at 10m

Ralland Oct 14, 2016

I've tried various brands of BBs in the 845 with only the Daisy Avantis proving suitably accurate. When firing from a rest the 845 is extremely sensitive to cheek pressure. It's been quite a while since I shot my 845, so I went down to my basement range to make sure these comments would not be a product of selective memory. I fired a 15-shot group because five-shot groups are not always a true indicator of a rifle's accuracy. My first three shot were about two inches apart. Terrible. Then I remembered, no cheek pressure when shooting from a rest. Holding the 845 tightly to my shoulder with barely any cheek pressure I fired the remaining twelve BBs which grouped a bit right of my first shot. Group size for thirteen BB's was .884" with twelve going into .698". Measurements purposely err on the large side. Cheek pressure is not a problem when shooting off-hand. The 845 is a fine air gun and despite its smooth bore is consistently capable of 1" groups or better with pellets at ten meters.

You wrote "shoots a 1 inch group at 10m". Well all I have to say is that's in your hands. I can do a lot better than that with a Daisy Red Ryder. To be honest at first I could not but after applying all my Marksmanship skills of correct stance, hold, aim and breathing and really concentrating I could. So I am sure the Daisy Match Grade Avanti 845 Mentor can do much, much better in the hands of a good competent shooter than you have done. Full Disclosure: I am a Certified NRA Smallbore (.22 Rifle) Marksman that has a long time ago 1992-93 won a First Place Medal in an Official NRA Smallbore Statewide Competition. I can recommend this Daisy 845 Mentor with full confidence it is capable of improving a student of Marksmanship shooting abilities and score.

I purchased 4 for 4-H shooting sports for the easy cocking effort and great sights.

We immediately had issues on 2 of the guns with losing the pellet behind the bolt. If the gun is at all angled with the barrel up when inserting the pellet, it drops back into the rifle and rattles around until you manuever the rifle correctly to drop out. We decided to return them immediately because if we were fighting the guns the beginner shooters on the line would be sure to have constant problems.

I had this issue myself a few times, even had a bb do in once. I found that if you push the bolt forward a bit after cocking (until you can see the tip of it), you can still load a pellet and it won't fall back into the magazine, even with the gun tilted - at least, it worked for me. Just thought people might like to know.

The included 5899 sight is what makes this version of the 84X series worth the premium price. The little gun is fairly accurate at 5 meters with BBs, but very accurate for a smoothbore with pellets. It is surprisingly sturdy for a gun that is of almost all plastic construction

Include a removable buttpad with spacers to lengthen or shorten the length of pull. I had to jury rig a buttplate extension to get an extra 2 inches LOP. The trigger pull is too hard for accurate shooting without serious concentration. My groups would shrink by half with a lighter trigger pull

Excellent training gun or just for fun shooting inside during winter. It is quiet and easy to cock and accurate enough to be interesting.

nice peep sight with fine adjustment; easy for my 10-y-o to cock and shoot; the magnet on the bolt for grabbing bbs works very nicely, and this is a great instructional rifle for youth.

plastic; guess I understand they reason they use it, but it would look so nice with a wood stock.

this rifle is all-but-all plastic. (it's also all black which doesn't hurt the appearance) The barrel is a rolled sheet steel liner inside plastic. Still, all the working parts feel pretty solid and function is crisp. Trigger pull is strong, but also makes sense for starting out young shooters.
