Re: First Rifle Help -- Entering 10m Air Rifle at Mid-Twenti

Jimro! You're chasing me around this forum! And I greatly appreciate it. I love the dynamic of having a Daisy to start with. If something happens (loss of interest, busy life, etc.). I'll be glad I didn't drop a boatload of cash. But I also want the dynamic of having family/friends plink in the back...

Re: First Rifle Help -- Entering 10m Air Rifle at Mid-Twenti

Thanks! So you do think it's a good idea to get my feet wet with the Daisy 753? It would be nice to keep it as a backup backyard plinker. A 3-4k $ FWB may be in my future, but not right at this moment. Daisy also seems like a reputable brand--something that if I kept it well and maintained it, I cou...

Re: First Rifle Help -- Entering 10m Air Rifle at Mid-Twenti

I hope this is helpful. Jimro Super helpful! Thanks Jimro! To clarify my situation, I do have a good amount of funds to put into this sport. I could go out and buy a FWB 800 Alu and all the gear/equipment needed. My reasoning for thinking of the 753 was just to have that plinker rifle going forward...

First Rifle Help -- Entering 10m Air Rifle at Mid-Twenties

I know that starting in my mid-twenties means I won't ever compete at the highest level, but I'm okay with that. I just want to pick up a new hobby before med school destroys my life. I've been doing some rese...
