I'm interested in meeting up with some folks that share an interest in air guns, both target shooting and hunting. I'm also interested in learning more about tuning air guns, so I'm hoping there are some experienced Airgunners in the local area!
I've shot 10m IU pistol, and IHMSA silhouette.
Have a 9 yr. grandson I'd like to start with 10m rifle.
I am in W. Pensacola.

Pick up the 853 through the CMP for your grandson. Can't beat the price or the accuracy, it's small light and easy to cock. Was thinking of buying a much more expensive gun until I got that one. Wanted to try 10 meter shooting and figured lets start out cheap. For now I've decided to stick with that gun. If you can put them all in one hole with a gun barely over a hundred bucks why spend many times that amount for one that won't do any better...

They do say for 16 and up but I would have no problem starting a 9 year old with it. A little instruction and he should be able to handle it with no problem at all.
It came within a few days of my ordering it.
Had to install the rear sight and drill out the sling keeper slightly to accept the swivel post.
Sighted it in my shop at 10m from the bench. Ragged 3-shot holes. Targets attached.
Very close to 0.05 in/click on the sights.
What a deal.
Thanks.
