Comments:
This is a nice little
plinker. It is very reliable and has two safety mechanisms. Even
though Daisy shows this gun being introduced in 1989, I bought
this one new in December of 1988. This accounts for the low
serial number. The trigger pull is long and heavy with no
distinct break point. Overall, this gun has very respectable performance for a
BB gun with a smooth bore.
Performance:
Measurements were made on
8/13/06 at a temperature of 81 ºF and 14' elevation. A ten shot string was fired
from a bench rest at 15' using Crosman Copperhead BBs (5.1 gr).
The highest velocity measured was 412 fps, the lowest was 386 fps
(average of the 10-shot string was 396 fps). A six shot string
fired with open sights grouped at 0.74". Click the thumbnail below to see a
