Eurastus let us take his Avanti 753 home to try. My Daughter commented that it was heavy and she was weaving all over the place while in a standing unsupported position. Her group was good some how. We will just try things and see how they go for now.

Thanks for the replies.

As far as velocities, I noticed that one of the versions of this model was lower power, say, 6 or 7 fpe. Would this be legal?

There is a lot to learn about what we can and can not use.

Daisy Avanti XVS40 Air rifle

I have heard of this rifle and believe it is one that was recommended, but I can not find anything on it. Just a few references. Does this rifle exist?

It is Possible she just didn't like the single stroke Pneumatics, but the 853 is an Avanti. I will see her tonight and will learn more.

I may have the places off a little, but it was impressive. I am interested in pistols, but I have never been gr...

We are looking at precision shooting. 10 meter etc. We have never done it before. As a scout adviser I have shot precision small bore rifle at this range, but we are just now looking to join this CMP affiliated club.

Evanix, a target rifle?

I am looking into getting my family involved in air rifle target shooting, but the coach didn't like the 853's and mentioned another rifle brand. I could have sworn she said Evanix. Are they considered target rifles? I looked them up and they don't seem to come with sights! Does anyone know about th...

I don't remember the range being heated. It is in the basement of a senior citizen center. However Eurastus seems to be shooting CO2 without problems in the same building.

Eurastus, I live in Salem. Donna would be your coach. I will be at the Springville Range tomorrow at 7:00 with 2 children. I don't think it is a air rifle day, but if you could bring yours to show me the difference, I don't think Donna would mind, as she was going to show me the clubs air rifles and...
