Well, it would seem we may consider buying one or two of these for the club. Or, some club members are getting very serious about buying one and have asked a few questions. Does it have a rail? It does not say it out right in the Daisy catalog. If not how does one attach a sling for different shoote...

Wow guys! Thanks!! That is why I like forums. To Moe, thanks for reminding me about stock length. You are right on the money. the stock 499 is too long for many a shooter.

I have an 888 it is seems to be pushing the wadcutter a bit slower than the 2002 as it cuts a hole but not as cleanly. Scoring guage will be a...

I agree with Jay but until there is a separate area, we'll share youth issues under sporter. It seems you've given me license to do that. Our club is two years old, 4-H in Collin County (Plano/Allen/Frisco aka "north of Dallas") Shot gun seems to be going strong but is driven by parents fo...
