Help...looking for a target airgun/rifle

[TomZ]

Happy New Year! I want to upgrade from my "toy" pellet/bb rifles to something a little more accurate and was thinking of a Daisy 853C like the ones used by cadets.

Thoughts on this rifle? I want to keep it under 500fps and it will be used mostly (hehe) for indoor target practice for myself the the kids.

Anyone sell these in Canada? Any chance in finding a used one around?

They are great air rifles, very accurate. My son got his from D&L Airgun, I will pm you.

The 853 is a superb choice for what you're looking to do, I own one...and highly recommend it!

I'd also be looking to D&L.

My favorite outdoor air rifle is an Insdustry Brand, QB79. Have a look at those on D&L's site too. Not ideal if you don't have access to a place you can get easy CO2 refills, but the gun itself is less expensive. The 853, for what you want to do, is the better choice.

That D&L website is awesome. After reading this thread last night I was on it for about 3 hours looking up accessories for my Ruger Airhawk! Thanks guys.

Specialty shooting sports outdoors (also in BC) is another excellent online shop. I hear great things about the Daisy although I don't own one.
