I wanted accurate airguns for those cold winter days.

So reading reviews I picked up after my Buckmark ( not a fan of CO2 or multi pumps ) a Beeman P17 Pistol since I found the trigger on the buckmark pretty heavy. I read I'll prolly have to re seal it down the road. But its accurate and decent trigger.

Then I figure since rifles are my weak point. Get one of those. But reading reviews seemed liked the IZH60 was the better over the Daisy. Figure both are best accurate for the price and maybe get into local 10M matches.

Then venture a hour thru snow to the local range.

Has anyone have experience with those 2 air guns?
 
I have some IZH-60's. They are great rifles. They are light, the stock can be adjusted for lenght of pull, and the trigers (also adjustable) are much better than the majority of the air guns in that range. These guns are more accurate than most shooters. To get better, you really have to spend a lot more money. If you don't like it, it should be easy to sell.

I remember in Cadets shooting the Daisy 853C Legend ( like 15 + years ago ) but at 340$ I could get a real gun, so I looked at the cheaper Daisy 953 at 130$ figured be about the same as the 853C minus no wood and aperture sights but reading specs on it, seemed like the IZH60 was much better. Problem I found with most under 200$ spring action or non C02 air guns is the trigger are horrible. IE my buckmark air pistol, I fiddled with the trigger and it has so bad trigger I had to comp for the spring torque the rear sight over more to the left. Now mind you I'm pulling minus the 2 zingers 1/2" at 7Y ( 10 shot ) count the zingers a inch.

I'm able indoors to make a 7Y and a 10Y range. Pistols are my strong point, rifles since many broken bones are my weak.

Figured since well competition targets the bull are same size of the target, that it will help me with my actual rifles.
 
The trigger on the IZH-60's and 61's are very nice, and being able to adjust them is a bonus. That gun also benefits from using better quality pellets like H&N and the like.

I like the trigger on the P17, loading can be a pain and also that 25# pushing down.

IZH could use a better rear sight.

Buckmark is easier to ####, but trigger is HORRID.

7 Yard groups are tightening up. The center 10 Y not so much. Ran out of the destroyers which were more wad cutter and had to get pointed. Seemed to group better.

I found I had to blacken the sights better. But a Williams sight be nice.
