#I have for sale three Daisy airguns:
#
#Model 25 BB repeating rifle. This is a 1960s-vintage Rogers, Arkansas 25-shot
#repeater styled to look like a pump-type shotgun. Designed in the 1930s by a
#famous airgun master, the gun as no safety. Plastic pump grip and stock, with
#painted engraving. Though no parts are damaged, this gun has many chips and
#worn marks, but is in excellent operating condition. It is a strong
#shooter with a wonderfully smooth, reliable repeating action.
#
#Model 717 Powerline single-shot .177 caliber pellet pistol. A mid-priced
#target-style airgun from the 1970s featuring a rifled barrel, bolt-action
#loading, side lever ing, and trigger safety. Deeply molded competition
#style plastic handgrips. Gun is in very nice condition except that the rear
#sight is somewhat loose. A strong and accurate shooter.
#
#Model 200 CO2 repeating BB pistol. This is a 1960s-vintage CO2 repeater
#that fires off five BBs as fast. |
| Its easy to say airguns are inhumane when we think of them in the same context
as firearms. In that context, many blackpowder guns are just as inhumane. When
properly used by a skilled, disciplined hunter, airguns are fine for hunting. |
| #Dear Bruce: You are correct, some airguns are severely lacking in
#killing power. I have a problem with grey squirrels overrunning my
#backyard. Because I live in town with neighbors on all sides, I cant
#shoot them with my .22 rimfires. Presently, the only airgun I have, a
#pump up .177 pistol, only delivers about 450 fps at the muzzle.
#Squirrels being very tough animals, I rarely get a one-shot kill. In
#fact, I anguish over the large number of cripples I get, not too much
#though as I despise these little rat-like pests. |
| The problem comes when you compare the accuracy of most Chinese airguns to
that of airguns made in Europe. We have air rifles that will keep their
shots on a nickel at 50 yards, instead of 20. Thats where the comparison
comes from. Some of these European guns are available used for the same
price as a new Chinese airgun. |
