| I would suggest looking at the Gamo or RWS line of airguns in .22
caliber. Living in a populated area, the .22 doesnt carry a high
velocity in case you miss, but has better energy and knockdown power.
Daisy sells two Gamo guns under the Powerline Name. You can visit their
web site to see them. Also, dont discount the Sheridan line. The only
drawback to the Sheridan is the multipump charging. If you would like to
learn more about modern airguns, check out the American Airguns web

| We have been impressed with the design mechanisms of most Chinese airguns.
Although rumor has it that their metallurgy is not up to par, we find that
it is. Parts are properly hardened, and safety is designed into most
mechanisms. The only criticism in this area is that the tolerances are way
too loose for both safety and operation. The pins are undersized, and the
holes they fit in are oversized. The metal surfaces have burrs and other
impediments. The bluing jobs often have not been stabilized properly, and
the guns have corrosion building in their crevices. These are things that
can be corrected by a hobbyist airgunsmith. |
