what can I use other than what is listed in the NRA/CMP rules?
I found these and thought they may be a cheaper alternative for our club?
not advertising for them, just thought they were a good budget model.

Depends upon what you use the rifles for; good training, shooting and competition or just some fun plinking. If you want to use rifles in competition then they must be approved in the rules applicable to that competition. Also, I would be vary of the accuracy of the very low cost rifles; I've tried some and found none accurate enough for 10 meter targets.
The specs of the 2078A "match" rifle says
"Accuracy of 0.24 inches c-t-c at 32.8 feet"
That is a 1/4 inch at 10 meters. :-(
I don't know what the accuracy spec of a Daisy 853 and 887 is, but I am pretty sure that it is better than 1/4" at 10 meters.
You might get one that does better, but if the average is 1/4" you can also get one that is WORSE.
It is heavier than a Daisy and has a longer LoP also.
As PCU said, check the rules for the match you shoot. Although it is priced like a sportster, it may not fit the sportster rules.

I think that as a new coach, we all have tried to go for "cheaper" gear for our kids at one time or another .... seems to never work out.
My advice ... for an inexpensive starter, go with an 888 ... you can then upgrade the stock and sights later and make it into an 887
