More shots per fill. That solves one big complaint.

Maybe Champions Choice had a secret order form for larger sizes? Can't hurt to ask.

Watch the Heinz Reinkemeier videos and you'll want all kinds of fancy sight bits and bobs.

Re: Daisy 599 nowadays? Late 2020

I guess if I consider the use history of the BSA silver star there are a few more reviews

Daisy 599 nowadays? Late 2020

So after maybe 18 months in the wild, do we have any more long-term experience on these? I have a feeling that production numbers are low -- I thought I read they only made 500/year?

Re: Adult shooter looking for coach and gear advice

Buy a CMP Daisy. Might scratch the itch alone, but then you'll surely need more.

Re: NEW Orion Athena electronic scored targets.

At ~20minutes remaining in the video he states that the target ONLY price would be about $720 $1400 didn't interest me but $720 is workable. Let's say I build my own stand and bring my own tablet. I'm a bit confused if the processing / scoring / pretty pictures on monitor are done locally or in the...

Re: Fancier sights on a Daisy 853

Great explanation. Would that make the dovetail front of the Challenger more versatile?

Fancier sights on a Daisy 853

Can I mount a fancy set of adjustable iris / diopter sights on the Daisy 853? I believe it has an 11mm dovetail.

Moving from Daisy 853 to PCP -- do precision rifles break?

I've read and read about options -- considering the T200, Challenger, Edge, the wood/ambi stock Anschutz 8001 / FWB 500 at CMP, and Anschutz 9015.
